David vows to will kill "any that pisseth against the wall."


1 Samuel 25:22 ------ So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

"A person could piss against a tree, he could piss on his mother, he could piss on his own breeches, and get off, but he must not piss against the wall -- that would be going quite too far. The origin of the divine prejudice against this humble crime is not stated; but we know that the prejudice was very strong -- so strong that nothing but a wholesale massacre of the people inhabiting the region where the wall was defiled could satisfy the Deity." -- Mark Twain, Letters from the Earth

Jesus or His apostles would have said that in the New Testament?

No one in the New Testament says Jehovah is the most important name and and that God wants everyone to know His name is Jehovah.

"Article 11. As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion, - as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen [Muslims], - and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan [Muslim] nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interuption of the harmony existing between the two countries." The treaty was passed unanimously in the Senate after being read aloud. HOW then can Christians STILL insist that this is a "Christian Nation" when even early Founders like George Washington (who began the negotiations) and John Adams (under whom it was signed) agreed with the language of the above Treaty?!? WHY was there no uproar from Congress over the "Unchristian" tone of the Treaty - unless they knew FULL WELL that the United States was NOT founded on Christianity???

everyone about the name Jehovah?

JWs say that the Jehovah name is the most important. They feel it so important that they go door to door telling people about the name of Jehovah.

I do not think that we even know the correct way of pronounce this name of Jehovah. You cannot find the original name of Jehovahin the OT original writings. You can only find the consonants YHVH

I'm a sociopath, and as such, I find it rather hard to connect with people, make friends, and obtain jobs. Most of my expressions, and emotions are feigned. Though it bothers me to it, it is the only way that I can keep a foot hold in the human world. Would it be wrong for me to adopt a foreign personality entirely? I would prefer to have some semblance of a normal life.

last days, you should look to an organization for the truth?

According to the Watchtower organization, Jesus is not the mediator of the Great Crowd. The organization is the mediator.

Granted, you need it to get into heaven. Are you born with it, like many sects of Chistianity believe, meaning you can only get to heaven if you were blessed from birth and manage not to screw up your chances? Do believe something contrary to this traditional Christian teaching?

What if there's a Christian who lead a completely sinful life, what would happen to him after death? As opposed to a Christian free of sins?

Do both have to go to Purgatory?

Why must a Christian confess if he knows he'll go to heaven?

I think that the Discovery Channel takes liberty to embellish most of the stories told. Otherwise they would not be worth broadcasting. What do you think?

I want to do something to help some people who ask questions to do with tough situations, but I don't know the answer because I don't fully understand it myself. Do you think I should take my best guess, or leave it for someone who probably has a better idea of Christ's word than me?

While I feel that I don't always have the funds to provide the Lord with 10% of my income, I will give very generously to Goodwill. I have donated a perfectly good carseat, unused baby cloths, a buisness suit worth several hundred, lightly used clothing from high end department stores, etc . (These items were given to me as gifts, and I either had no need for them because they were surplus or I had "grown" out of them).

Am I serving the Lord with my materialistic donations that I joyfully give to Goodwill? Do my donations compare at all to giving $ to my church?

Thank you!

Everybody sins and sinned no matter what because Adam and Eve sinned so when your just born, you already have sin in you. Did you ever watch T.V? Thats a sin.
