Welcome

The Lincoln Club is meant to be a place where we can gather to discuss theological and social-political ideas. With the intent to educate ourselves on good principles and in turn use that knowledge to teach our fellowman.
Why "The Lincoln Club"? This whole idea started from a frustration with the current president trying to liken himself unto President Abraham Lincoln. Perhaps there are some superficial similarities however the surface is where they end. Addressing this became very aggressive and contentious. Trying to avoid that contention spawned the idea of focusing on one mans correct principles as opposed to highlighting another mans weaknesses.
The idea has since grown to any good principle worthy of our study not simply those Lincoln himself possessed.
Using the blog forum allows all who wish to participate to do so at their leisure. Life is often too busy to add one more meeting or group affiliation. This allows us participate whenever we find the time. It gives the freedom to log on at anytime and view what has been written.
There will be multiple ideas being discussed simultaneously the first being a book of the month, which will function much like a book club. The others will simply be topics picked up by contributing authors to this blog. All discussions will be labeled allowing a reader to only focus on posts pertaining to the specific subject chosen.
With your invitation is the opportunity to become a contributing author. This allows you to post in response to any topic being discussed or even begin one you may wish.
Please feel free to post ideas with supporting arguments using quotations and sources allowing for documented argument.
Along with your arguments being posted remember that this forum is intended to strengthen our ideas and understanding. We welcome opposing thoughts or objections to help locate a weakness in our logic. Note that these are not attacks on you or your understanding it is simply to strengthen the discussion. I would also add that to many of those invited to this forum the words of the scriptures and the prophets are definitive.
Again welcome and enjoy the feast.
I am your host
