Also I'm not sure what to make of this so I need some Buffistas opinions.
His other argument is that this is the same as if a sushi restaurant opened right next to Pearl Harbor, it would be a provocation and disrespectful and should not be allowed.

t not really here I'd be pretty shocked if there ISN'T a sushi place in or at the Pearl Harbor memorial. Hawaii has a HUGE ethnic japanese community. Has had long before Pearl Harbor was a historical event. In the 20s, they were almost half the population. t /not really here

It's okay for Sushi restaurants to be in hawaii, they just couldn't be 4 blocks from Pearl Harbor.

Elsie Dinsmore uses the passage "Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone," to justify the position that grace is time-limited -- if you don't accept Jesus within a certain time frame, then he won't have you anymore. (OK, I don't really have anything useful to add to this conversation, but I'd never seen that interpretation anywhere else, and I asked a few Christian friends, who said they'd never heard it, either.)

That one actually kind of makes sense as an analogy, but I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed. It's not like a sushi restaurant is an arm of the WWII-era Japanese government.

Ha, no, it was rhetorical. But I'm tempted to google now.
Here, enter this in the Google Maps search box. "sushi loc: Pearl Harbour, HI"
