One explanation for the existence of evil on Earth is that if there is no evil on Earth there would be no free will. I can agree with that. But what about in heaven? If there's no evil in heaven, then, by that argument, there can't be any free will in heaven either. Heaven suddenly doesn't sound like a very wonderful place.

If we didn't have free will, we wouldn't be human.

When Kane was sent from the garden of Eden, he went unto the land of Nod. It was written (King James version) that there he took a wife. Now if Adam and Eve, Kane, and Abel, were the only humans in creation at this time, who was Kane's wife? And what about this land of Nod? Wasn't the Garden of Eden the only place created yet? Why was Nod never mentioned again? And was there another group of humans there, not aforementioned?

OK, so I just watched a show that brought me back to this topic, yet again. Let me ask this: Could any of you out there (pro-life) support a law that would make abortion illegal except for extreme situations? Mainly serious health risks to the mother? Rape? Incest? If these were the ONLY situations for which a woman could have an abortion, would you be OK with it? Could you allow for abortion in these situations, if it was what the woman wanted(not forced, of course)?

With Xmas approaching, once again there are the reports of the declining Christian community particularly in Bethlehem.

The Christian population of the areas under the control of the Palestinian Authority (PA) has sharply declined in recent decades, as tens of thousands have abandoned their holy sites and ancestral properties to live abroad. Those who remain comprise a beleaguered and dwindling minority. In sharp contrast, Israel’s Christian community has prospered and grown by at least 270 percent since the founding of the state.

While Israel understands that the construction of the security barrier inconveniences some of the Christian communities living in its vicinity, Israel has shown sensitivity to Christian interests in planning the route of the barrier.

I been hearing everywhere never cast without permission, even if intension is good. Or the law of karma, etc. I'm asking because somebody may have been without my permission. So if your one who does, what "exactly" would happen to you? You cast a benefical one when the other said not too, what is the punishment?
