Religion & Spirituality - 1 July 2007

If you say it's in the 10 Commandments, "Thou shalt not kill",
then How would you justify:

- killing in self defense?

- killing in war/soldiers killing each other and innocent civilians?

- killing animals to eat their meat and use their bodies?

- killing bugs you can't even see while walking on the sidewalk?

- killing weeds?

but it must be something else since there are other things in the bible and you are not so hard about them as you are about gays...(adulterers, divorce...)
May it have some relationship with your sex issues??? come on people dont be shy you are not the most open people around when it comes to sex, do you feel intimidated by most gay openness as regards sex???

There's a lot of drama and greed in the churchs today. I would rather read my bible and pray at home.

This past weekend in the UK has so far passed with perhaps a little help from above and it is fortunate that non of our citizens or visitors were badly injured by these wicked people. What can these 'bombers' hope to gain by killing and maiming people and children of all religions and beliefs. Possibly they hope we will turn on each other for our differing religious beliefs and origins, but we must not let that happen. Lets all grow up fast and respect each other for what we are. 'Citizens of Great Britain ' - whatever the original birthplace of some.

That the SDA church has its own Bible.
The "ignorance of some so called experts" amuses me, I mainly use the KJV but also the NIV, NKJV and several others on occasion.
Please let me know which one is the official SDA Bible, it must have been an oversight on my part.

"If you don't do this you'll burn." So much superstition...ridiculous.

Blah, whatever. How do I become a faithful gentile?

You see, koalas eat only Eucalyptus leaves, which grow on Eucalyptus trees, which take several dozen years to grow, and which only seem to grow in Australia.

So shall we assume they actually died of starvation and no longer exist, since all the Eucalyptus trees were drowned in the flood and new ones wouldn't grow till it was much too late for the poor koalas?

And while we're at it, what did all the carnivores eat once they were released from the ark?

It is a safe bet they ate all the herbivores who were released from the ark, but after you've wiped them all out feeding the carnivores, what did the carnivores eat next (hint: few carnivores eat carrion after the carrion has spent forty days and forty nights rotting in water).

Now I've read the bible, and I know these little details were not explained. And I'd really rather you not delve into your imagination to come up with a make-believe answer.

So can you explain how the koalas got back to Australia without starving?

When I was 15 I was abused at Lahaina Baptist Church. Chris Martin the current pastor covered this crime up by conspiring to get me jailed. He hired an unethical lawyer named Kenneth wong to try and discredit and intimidate me. Kenneth Wong said "I would do that to my children if they acted up (physically assault)". Chris Martin lied about the victim and lied to the victim. Chris Martin is evil and should be removed from his position. He tried to cover this sin just like king David did. He was willing to have me go to jail and be raped in order to save the churches reputation. He is evil. If I ever go to jail I want to get my story out so everyone will know what happened.

I have a question for everyone. Why do ppl see what happen to the jews by adulf hittler as being so wrong. But yet when they do the same exact same things to palistians its ok. THey mark pali ppl's cars to know if they are pali or jew. they also use pali ppl for testing with out there permmssion. bush sends them weapons because because they can't fight their own battle's. They were not living there befor pali ppl. They own nucliar weapons when bush is killing himself to make sure no one does. They kill children on there way to school. the list can go on and on. What makes jews so speacial to let this be ok.

So everyone know's that at one point the mormon's were able to have more then one wife right? Ok so I asked my BF who is Mormon Why was that, since Joshep Smith had more then wife, so my bf said that the reason for that was for men to take care of women that lost their husbands in war. Men that had money took care of more families. But it was abused in time. And that it stop because women could work now. What do you think?

I was taught growing up that each of us had a guardian angel. I have also met new age people who believe we have spirit guides. Do you believe we each have our own guardian angel or spirit guide ? If you are Christian, is there biblical support for this ? If you are a believer in spirit guides, on what do you base that ?
