Society & Culture - 13 November 2007

Have all you seniors out there been warned that prisoners in jail, now have access to computer rooms. That nice person, that has been e mailing you, may have been sent to jail for aggravated robbery and assault and may be trying to find out where you are located, so when he is released he can rob you. That nice teenager with the sad story may not be a teen at all. My daughter and son keep warning me about this.
And some prisons have work programs, that inmates are enrolled in, where you order things for your home, and they can easily find out your address.

Today on the way to work I saw a sign that said:
"A chrisitian is one who sees a rainbow in every tear."
And maybe it was suppossed to make me happy, but in a way it kind of made me sad....
what are some church signs that made you sad or a little down -- not the usual upbeat happy church signs??

so, here's my question:

How many of the things your mind is aware of (atomic bombs exploding, the surface of Mars, etc.) have you actually personally experienced? I am guessing about 1 in 1000.

Why do people take bibles from hotels? The fact that they are stealing bibles makes it pretty likely they're Christian, so they're committing a sin. What the heck's up with that?

Here's another argument from an atheist:

"The Bible says that Jesus and God are one, yet seperate. Jesus is God, but he's not, but he is. In the New Testament, Satan is seen tempting Jesus/God. This is interesting since Satan knew that Jesus was God and yet seperate, so why did he think that tempting him would work?

"I'm going to tempt Jesus/God so that Jesus/God wouldn't be without sin, so he couldn't die for people's sins so everyone will go to Hell. God won't see that coming. It's not like God can see into the future."

Here is my rebuttal:

Jesus did not know for sure what would happen in every single circumstance. When God sent himself as Jesus on the earth, I believe that he cut himself off from some of his knowledge. If Jesus knew everything single thing, then it wouldn't have been a true test.

Jesus was to live as a man so he could die for our sins.

Agree?

This is in the Bible many times..That is what the gospel is all about..The good news that Jesus followers taugh. Do you teach this and preach this when you go to the doors? That is what Jesus followers taught is it not?..The gospel is all about Jesus Christ as our Savior..Your views?

then why do you say it takes "faith" to be an atheist. To us, your God is a unicorn.

My daughter's boyfirend showed me this. It cuts out a lot of the time wasted on searching. Eg. You are looking for Cars. Type in like this.
"Cars" Put the parenthesis at the begining of your search AND the end. Another way is to put the word ALERT after, but this brings up a lot of stuff with 'alert' written inot the text.

(I'm not asking if you think it's great now) I mean, 200 short years ago, this nation was vast wilderness with a few settled towns and Native American Villages. Also what in your opinion do you attribute our great rise to?

As a Christian, I attribute it to the fact that our country was in most respects founded on God and for religious freedom. (My proof that it was founded on God being that God is in our Constitution, our pledge, on our money, our national anthem, etc.) Your thoughts on that. Thanks.

All religions and Atheists welcomed.

If Christians maintain that we only follow the higher law of Christ and that the Mosais law is obsolete in it's entirety?

Last night I posed the question of why we no longer follow the commandent to keep the Sabbath day holy. I got tons of snotty replies, 80% from fellow Christians who insisted I was being judgemental. Some told me that Saturday is the actual Sabbath (so, do we keep Saturday holy?) but mostly because the law of the OT is now defunct and that we need not follow it.

I saw that we do need to follow it, but that's my opinion. Jesus' atonement took away the need for blood sacrifice, and in him the law was fulfilled (see Matt 5:17) but not made obsolete.

By the way, the restriction of eating pork and other unclean flesh, cutting the corners of the beard, and touching a woman while on her period are NOT part of the 10 Commandments, they were given by the Lord for health reasons (he cares about us in all things) or to symbolize the setting apart of his people.
