So, no. God's law is not absolute. It changes. If it did not, we would still be naked savages in a garden, incapable of civilization. Apparently, God relized Lucifer had some good ideas and made room in His law for some forbidden fruit to be no longer forbidden. So, if even the "Devil" can't be all bad, then God too must be different than we think of Him being. What is the difference? Humanity. And it is the very humanity of God and all His creations that proves nothing is absolute.
Well no...actually God doesn't change...people do...they drift FROM God & His word & have put countless souls in peril because of that.
The devil ate from the tree of eternal life...that's the difference between Him & all those angels fallen from grace, & humans.
The decision into eternity is ours while we still live. |

| Topic: Interpreting the Bible Literally |
Tue 11/04/08 08:59 AM |
QUOTE:
Well, there is only one part of the bible that needs to be taken literaly, at least if you're a christian. That's the two commandments Christ set out for his followers (and the two which almost never get followed):
1. Keep NO gods before THEE
2. Love thy neighbor as thyself
Other than that, most things in there are parables and alagories anyway, maybe a little bit of a history lesson for those that want it. However, the history lesson most be interepted. Joshua's horns didn't cause the walls of Jericho to fall. They did signal the troops inside the walls to open the gates so the city could fall. So, you have to be careful with that book. Read it wisely, more than once, and with an open mind, you should be able to find the real message buried inside. Which suprisingly enough, is the two rules I listed above.
Hey there...how have you been??? It's good to cya again~~~~
I think it's all literal as well as moral. As Christ came to fulfill the laws so we can more than just follow them we can actually get joy & life for living with them... I take the entire Bible as Literal. From God our Creator to God our Jehovah Jirah..to the parting of the Red Sea to Christ's resurrection & His second coming for His church. From the creation all the way to the book of Revelations. It's all true & it's all righteous.
...and that's the short of it. |

Think of all the STUPID, BAD choices people make on a daily basis...
Most/some of those people don't care or believe in God.
Most good standing citizens are God fearing individuals. They try their best to be the best person they can be...
If we lived in a world that was run by people that had no regard for themselves or others, it would be Chaos!
I rest my case....no God heart leads to "HELL." That's what a world without God would be...HELL. |

OOPS! Would this be considered off topic??? Nah! Secular humanism IS a religion.
So tell me again who the REAL weaklings are...those who cry for their nanny govt. or those who walk not by sight but by faith in God?
The real weaklings are ones who cant stand on there own. Those who cant form there own beliefs. Those who have to look to an outside source for strenth and self worth.
The real weaklings are those who force there beliefs on others by mass. Those who belive in a hyerarchy system where 1 man is supperior and the other are inferrior
In my opinion of course
Only a hypocrite would think that things learned, no matter how good the results, are bogus because they are taught...or passed down through the generations. You question people of faith then question your own decisions. They ARE only human after all.
So what's the point of those who want to question those of the Christian Faith? |

Youre right, its a personal choice, it SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DUE WITH OUR GOVERNMENT!!
It has EVERYTHING to do with govt.
ABORTION was illegal until the 50's (I believe).
My point is when you desensitize people thru laws it becomes a societal problem & exxaserbates bigger govt.
Uh...Hitler thought it was ok to kill & experiment with Jews. That was also the law. Was that right?
Abortion is a personal choice, it happens in nature. Goverment should not be so big it will effect ANYONES PERSONAL CHOICES NOR EFFECT THERE CIVILIAZED ACTIONS. We dont need nor want a big brother telling us what we have to do
Who really cares if it was illegal back in the 50s, so was alcohol in the 20's, so was mixed race marriage, so is u cant own Ferrets in the state of California---theres alot of stupid ways our government trys to subjegate people, it doesnt mean anything
I'm sure that what all those who voted for Hitler thought like this too.
It means EVERYTHING, except to the deaf dumb & blind. |

Did you say "it's not propaganda", and post a link with "Obama's plans to destroy America" in the URL, in the same post?
How about something a little less biased - here's the Reader's Digest compiled view of the election from a global view:
http://www.rd.com/your-america-inspiring-people-and-stories/presidential-election-08-global-poll/article102098.html
Click on any country. Our country is the only one where the poll is even close.
And even within the boundaries of the USA - I haven't seen a poll showing McCain in the lead at all, at any point.
Funny thing about your "They're taking a poll on AOL!!!!"...
Once upon a time, around the invention of the telephone, they used this new tool to conduct national surveys to try to predict the president. Result of the telephone survey? Landslide Republican.
Result of the election? Landslide Democratic victory.
How can this be? Only the rich had telephones at that point in time. 
Very very similarly - who still uses AOL? Largely the extremely conservative, who were willing (for some reason) to pay $25/month for dialup when other services out there were $10/month... now not even AOL charges anymore, but they retain their customer base. You see no bias in that?
Try looking at what the rest of the world sees.
I've found one thing: When I'm standing in a room and find myself in the minority, chances are good that I'm wrong...
...in this case, with such a large chunk of McCain support coming from the prejudiced and ignorant, it paints that picture even more strongly, IMO - because not only isn't he ahead (even in this country), but a good chunk of his support is fundamentally prejudice and ignorance based - which would make him even less ahead, if those votes weren't allowed to count.
Seriously...What gives you the right to call McCain supporters ignorant? Talk about typical and biased...
I support neither, and thankfully so. I will be able to say I didnt vote for either one of them.
I didn't call all McCain supporters ignorant - I'm criticizing the McCain supporters who are ignorant.
In other words (as I was careful to choose wording to isolate, such as "a good chunk of McCain supporters), some but not all.
What I said was, "what if you took the McCain supporters who ARE making their decisions based on virtues of ignorance - racism, internet rumor, beliefs that he is Muslim - apparently that voting for him will lead to war is a new one to me (above) - that the campaign might not be close.
I wouldnt' be surprised if more than 10% of McCain supporters were supporting McCain because they had some emotional fear, like racism or believing Obama is a terrorist because his middle name is Hussein... 
But no where did I ever say, or imply, that all McCain supporters were ignorant...
Oh geez...that's a small minded way of thinking about McCain supporters. That is sooo wrong an insignuation.
There are MANY reasons to vote FOR John McCain...he's way more experienced than OBAMA when it comes to the correct role of the fed. govt. in our natl. security issues. I want to know that the person who takes that position will really defend us against FOREIGN threats & not use the fed govt. against his fellow americans like the clintons did...(& possible OBAMA).
After the last week of the McCain campaign, he is so energized that no one can say he's one breath away from dieing...now if that isn't a hateful comment on someone who has endured so much & still has so much life then you are circling the planet.
At 911 it was the REPS who built up this nations's courage to stand. It will always be REPS who come up with real ideas instead of keeping americans in a constant state of crisis as some excuse to go on spending sprees, compliments of the tax payer....and it will be REPS who, in 2 yrs, will have to clean up the mess DEMS will leave behind when their lunacy gets swept out of office.
Those are a few reasons to vote FOR John McCain. |

This radical banana republic type of govt. is not good for anyone. You don't get peace by letting the enemy in thru the front door...like the French did Hitler. OK? Sometimes it takes peace thru strength...against FOREIGN enemies, not fellow Americans. (That I had to explain that speaks volumes of the ignorance of so many Americans!!!!!) |

AGREED! People who are desensitized to the consequences are the ones who fall into the trap that "it won't happen to THEM." |

Why would any sane woman wait until the last minute, or far enough along in her pregnancy for the fetus to survive anyway? That to me is wrong. Is that common? But still, I support a woman's right to make decisions regarding reproduction and her own body, and doctors who for medical reasons, say, the life of the mother, who decide that a late term abortion is in order. Good things could come from abortions... like stem cell samples for research, perhaps saving countless lives! Palin is against all abortion... regardless of the reason whether it be rape, incest, or for the health of the mother. I hope she never is elected to any position of power ever again!
Perhaps through education and frank discussion with our children and young people we can curb unwanted and unplanned pregnancy, and thus minimize the number of abortions in the U.S. Seems to me that in that case, both sides could win!
And as far as the morality of these decisions, if you are a believer, then won't God take care of it all on judgment day?
I resent laws that try and impose morality over such a private issue as an unwanted pregnancy! What a relief it will be that we will have a liberal President who will appoint liberal Supreme Court Justices who will undoubtedly support a woman's right to choose! Go Obama!!!
What most don't get about anything labeled "choice" is that it's not choice if it takes rights from one to give to another.
Having said that, then there is the issue of when a BEHAVIOR becomes a societal problem. Should we as civilized people that is, do what we can to curb behaviors that are a drag on our society?
If so then there goes the arguement. LIBS have their own judgemental attitudes. Yes they are in denial about how their decisions affect others.

Question: Don't we live in a free country? Rights and all that...hmmm.. religion, sexual preference, speech as we are doing now and are quite good at by the way.
Freedom, so when the govt makes laws that discriminate about who can and cannot be married, who can and cannot control their own bodies, what does that mean?
Oh and btw, GIANNA JESSEN, i have never heard of that person. Does not mean that she does not exist, just that not everyone knows about what is going on in any part of the world at any given time.
Heck as a Christian, instead of pointing out what is wrong with me and you (generally speaking) pray. i have a hard enough time dealing with my day to day drama.
Oh yea, and about repubs fighting for the unborn child, why is abortion still not against the law? Haven't we had a republican in office for the past 8 years???
Since when is standing up for the most innocent & vulnerable in life, discrimination?
When personal problems become society's problems we have the right to express what's wrong to CURB BEHAVIORS that are causing the problem. Or would you rather have big nanny govt instead?
That's when... unfortunately blaming REPS for that is again...the WRONG aim. |

Actually... I sincerely hope that OBAMA will bring common sense to his party if he is elected. I am willing to take an open minded wait & see attitude.
However...I will not just roll over & take an attitude of appeasment ...if I see something that's not right I will be saying so. Anyone with an open mind will want to discuss those things as well.
I already know what I will be looking for...
GOP witchunts...bad idea...
Raising taxes & higher unemployment vs job creation....
Doing something about making us oil independant & using that to put Americans back to work, besides telling us we don't pay enough for gas & putting our coal industry out of business.
Social engineering schemes attached to any job creation, & going after the free speech of those who oppose that.Trying to force their humanstic views on the rest of us... trouble...
I would really like to see govt. be the watchdog between Big buz & the working class to make sure things are fair & equal...and I don't mean passing off radical leftisms as bi-partisanship either. We can use what God gave us and also be good stewards of the land.
The DEMS said they were for using our resources let's see if they were lieing about that or not. If I start hearing things like...drilling a waste of time & money or coal workers are losing their jobs because of regulations that OBAMA implements (as per his own words)... TWO YEARS! Let's see if they can use our money for more than their political cronyisms that dragged down our economy.
Let the lies be exposed & if I'm wrong...I will say so.
That's IF OBAMA wins...  |
