If You Take Lava or Rocks From Hawaii,?

Question

which is considered sacred to the people there, why is it cursed, and brings bad luck to people who bring it home?

Additional Details

Note: They claim 40,000 gods inhabit the island, which I don't believe in, so why would a rock be cursed.

I believe in a loving God, not one that curses.

No. I wouldn't take a rock either, but just getting everyone's opinions here.

Answer 1

I personally wouldn't take the rock - if there is a warning sign, I would definitely follow it. It isn't also about the curse - it is about the belief of the people of Hawaii. My mother tried to take a rock from The Big Island, and I almost slapped her. It is about respecting the beauty of those islands and not about having a momentum. If you want a funky momentum, go to Oahu and with the white rock, put your name on the lava-ground. It is a much better thing to do with the rocks ! ;o)

Answer 2

It's a bit like this.

Pele made that lava for that island, right? If that lava, or that rock, was supposed to be somewhere else, She'd have put it there. Ergo, it is displeasing to Her for her work to be undermined like that. The rocks aren't cursed, but the person is.

You might not believe it, and I might not be right. This is what I think it is, though.

Answer 3

I don't worry about it. I've never been to Hawaii, but I have a small King Kahmehameha statue made of lava in Hawaii I bought at a flea market once. I would assume the curse would continue to me; it's made no difference in my life and I've had it for ten years or more.

Answer 4

Eh cuz

If everyone who come to da Islands take one rock,
where we stay?

Answer 5

Live your life by YOUR beliefs.



JESUS: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by Me."

Answer 6

i dont care what they believe...lets just not take the rocks...we have our own here...

Answer 7

It is a long held belief of the Hawaiian people that Pele will punish any who take from the land that is Hawaii without permission. The Hawaiians don't concider it a curse, they concider it a promise.

Deuteronomy
28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the "I AM" thy God, to observe to do all His Commandments and His Statutes which I command thee this day; that ALL THESE CURSES [of the Law] shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
28:16 Cursed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and cursed [shalt] thou [be] in the field.
28:17 Cursed [shall be] thy basket and thy store.
28:18 Cursed [shall be] the fruit of thy body (Eno. 96:14), and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
28:19 Cursed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and cursed [shalt] thou [be] when thou goest out.
28:20 The "I AM" shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken Me.
28:21 The "I AM" shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until He have consumed thee from off the land, where thou goest to possess it.
28:22 The "I AM" shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
28:23 And thy heaven that [is] over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee [shall be] [like] iron.
28:24 The "I AM" shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
28:25 The "I AM" shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
28:26 And thy carcass shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall scare [them] away.
28:27 The "I AM" will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the hemorrhoids, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
28:28 The "I AM" shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and with heart-attack:
28:29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save [thee].

Now in the morning as they returned to the city, Jesus was hungry. He saw a fig tree by the way, and went to it, but found nothing but leaves. So Jesus said to the tree, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. (Matthew 21:18-19, KJV)

So you follow which God?
