Someone I know who is 'sensitive' called me to ask if I'm alright, just before I caught this damn cold.

Today, they called again, and asked again if I'm alright. Except this time, after I said yes, they asked if I was sure.

Should I start getting paranoid and take extra, EXTRA care?

and by the way, when I said 'sensitive', I mean unusually good at getting total unknown thing right. Intuitive, psychic, receptive...etc. There are a lot of words.

. . . six hundred and thirteen laws found in the Torah establishes a "right".

The commandment against murder establishes our right to life. If God says nobody is allowed to murder anybody else, everybody has the right to life. This is clear, isn't it?

The commandment against theft establishes the right to property ownership. This is clear too, right?

So there are rights . . . and there are wrongs. Every wrong establishes a right. Do you follow so far?

So; homosexuality is not a right. It's a wrong.
Likewise adultery, likewise abortion, same for the rest of the 613 laws in the Torah.

So I don't have to Kowtow to those who put their sin on parade. I have a right to a society and culture free of AIDs and STDs multiplied by those in violation of God's laws.

The government that doesn't arrest violators of God's absolute law is in violation of the law of God. They're not "protecting the rights of homosexuals". Homosexuality is not a right . . . it's a WRONG!

I know this scenario is quite morbid, but in light of a conversation I had today, I'm wondering; please tell me what YOU would do in this situation?

Should standing before you be a Christian who has found and accepted God into his/her heart, and an atheist that denies the existence of God, and you were told that you must choose one to die, who would you choose?

Keep in mind:

The Christian will pray for your salvation.

The atheist will instead hope that his own life will be saved.

Normally, one would feel that the Christian should be allowed to live, because he/she has been selfless, and considered even their murderer's salvation, whereas the atheist considers his own life.

However, if you instead allow the atheist to live, you are giving them more time, which in potential, may give them a chance to find Christ.

Obviously, this may complicate the situation for some.

What would YOU do?

[[Please don't waste my time by saying it unrealistic, morbid, etc.]]

What are the beliefs ? In my life I have never met a Scientologist,or seen a " house of worship" . Are there certain places where this is a popular religion?

.

Before you read this quote from the pamplet consider, what is the intent of the writer(s), is it to show that the english word 'Jehovah' comes from a mistake, or to approve the use of Jehovah as God's name.




QUOTE: How Is God's Name Pronounced? "When it came to God's name, instead of putting the proper vowel signs around it, in most cases they put other vowel signs to remind the reader that he should say 'Adho·nai'. From this came the spelling Iehouah, and, eventually, Jehovah became the accepted pronunciation of the divine name in English. This retains the essential elements of God's name from the Hebrew original."

http://www.watchtower.org/e/na/index.htm




Simply put, the writer(s) are saying, '....that it does not matter how you pronounce the name..." any combination of vowels added to the 4 consonates letter which abbreviate God's name in Hebrew is acceptable, just as any combination of vowels added to the consonates letters of your personnel name would be acceptable. The problem with adding the wrong vowels to the 4 consonant letters of God's name becomes not just a different form of the name but a different name or word altogether, if it could be considered a word or name.*

Wednesday, October 3, 2007
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - A federal appeals court has rejected an Alabama inmate's bid to build a fire in a pit at a state prison as part of his religious worship. Tony Lee Smith, 38, wanted to build a fire at St. Clair Correctional Facility to practice an ancient polytheistic Nordic religion called Odinism, according to his lawsuit.

On Tuesday, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that prison officials did not violate Smith's religious rights by refusing his request. The prison had feared a backlash because the religion is said to incorporate white supremacist beliefs.

Smith's attorney, Henry "Hank" Sherrod III of Florence, said Smith had never been a white supremacist.

According to the suit, prison officials gave Smith a candle.

...Quran is more peaceful, tolerant and sane than Bible is?

Is it just becuase our religion has been hijacked by a few extremists -all who rose becuase of the US meddling in the Middle East and some were even supported by the US at one time (Bin Laden in case you forgot)- that you seek the opportunity to take out the religion which trumps yours in tolerance, consistency, sanity, reasonable teachings, morality and even women's rights (Yes, womens rights- if you know anything about the Bible and the Quran you would know that Islam is much less sexist and actually gave women rights)?
