Yeah I have to laugh, one person I met online in the same discussion, told me all about her ex-boyfriend and how frustrated she was with him and in the same conversation asked me if i thought i could accept someone elses kids as mine..............lol......needless to say i removed her from yahoo.

she didnt even realize how she sounded............come on who wants to listen to the woes from the last relationship, trying to suck someone new into their web of craziness.

can we not make people take a test before having kids ? this is for all folks whether black, white, mexican, legal or illegal.

i dont use the term palestinian because theres no such thing, they are just arabs living in isreal, are criminals they go to jail at one point or another.... they vote for a known terrorist govmt,that not only wants to wipe out isreal, but also shows hostility to all free and democratic states this thread is anti semetic and should be shut down

Anyone is free to define it any way they want ... and they are certainly entitled to their opinion.

Did we focus on ... communist resentment of the west... as a peace plan ???

In the U.S. it's considerably more complicated. Frankly , the open-ended definition of a sex-offender has practically invalidated the usefulness of the registry.
So who is a sex offender ?
Here are some examples of sex offenders :
http://www.solresearch.org/~SOLR/rprt/LookNow.asp
Are you really afraid to live beside a 13 year old girl who sent a naked picture of herself to her boyfriend ? Or the guy who stopped on a highway to relieve himself ?

That's the problem with these registries : The label is defacto permanent and it often bears no semblance to the implications. People naturally assume that a sex offender is simply somebody who goes out and rapes at will. This , unfortunately , is not necessarily accurate. In fact , more often than not , it's not even close to accurate. All sex-related crimes (from public indecency to consensual sex with a minor by somebody who themself is just past the threshold of age of majority) are not equal. People recognize that there is a big difference between a guy peeing on the side of a highway and a child rapist but the registries don't usually provide details such as this (or , at least , few people care to distinguish once a name makes the list)

No one should have a blank check. Not Israel and not the USA... no one.

I am very much Pro-Israel. Their right to exist and their right to security. But we all do wrong and the goal should be to do right more often. They captured the land post-1967 but if they want a real peace and to do right, perhaps the settlements aren't the right thing to do. That's just my impression... I've never been there and all I know is what I'm told from the Pros and Cons. A great deal of what Israel and Palestine do is not my business, but our involvement should be of concern to us... how to show support with fairness to both parties and no blank checks.

His theories are entirely inconsistent with Einstein's theories. Newton's theories work on a macro scale, and Einstein's on a micro scale, but not visa versa.

Control? I disagree that people have any control over good and evil or over the world.

In any case, this is just one of many examples of the dizzying verbal gymnastics required to reconcile the words of the Bible with the real world.

For this purpose, let's just equate "perfect" with "inerrant." Talk to a Baptist minister or Pentacostal pastor.

I would also take issue with your claim that people have succeeded in keeping the Scriptures unchanged for 100 generations or so.

1. Adam and Eve supposedly had no knowledge of good or evil. How could they be held responsible for being disobedient to God? How were they supposed to know that disobeying God is "evil"? Of course, it's easy for us to judge; we have knowledge of good and evil.

2. So, because of their disobedience, sin has been unleashed upon mankind. Man is now depraved, wicked, imperfect, etc. Yet writing and compiling the words/thoughts of God Himself is the ONE PERFECT ACT sinful man has accomplished? I'm not buying it.

No, actually, there are not. There are copies of copies of copies of copies of the lost originals. Big difference, as you point out nicely in the sentence that preceded this quoted one

Why would he have them written in a language he KNEW would be a dead language?

Earth was created in one day. (the bible could have said ANY amount of time... The Christian god chose to say one *DAY*, so no "but god really meant. . ." argument please.

Some books cannot be translated or put on screen that easily, without losing much of the important message, and in order to not lose the whole point of the book, you need to do an adaptation.

Not sure where in the world your from but round here the sun rises in the East and sets in the West if thats any help.

Wait a second. When astrology was invented a couple of thousand years ago, people had absolutely know way to precisely plot any location on planet earth. Longitude and latitude hadn't been invented yet. Clocks hadn't been invented yet either. So people didn't think in terms of hours, minutes, and seconds.

they specified that the mean synodic month was 29;31,50,8,20 days (four fractional sexagesimal positions), which was repeated by Hipparchus and Ptolemy sexagesimally, and is currently the mean synodic month of the Hebrew calendar, though restated as 29 days 12 hours 793 halakim (where 1 hour = 1080 halakim).

Put extra lip gloss, give him a bj and ask him again what he things of lip gloss.
