We all sin to some degree. Remember it's God that is perfect. We're just his creations that can go either one way or the other, in this spiritual battle of life. God is perfect you say? Then how on earth is it possible that he could create a creation capable of doing something it did not intend for them to be able to do, to the point he regrets ever creating them before the great flood? Would that not be a mistake? Would this not indicate a flaw in his creation if he made them this way? How does that really work? If you ask me it doesn't.......either God is perfect and so are we for our purpose here, flaws and all, or God screwed up. There is no middleground. Make a choice, is God perfect or isn't he? God is perfect and he created as to have our own will so if we have flaws it does not make him any less perfect ,it's our decisions that makes us imperfect. If our "decisions" make us imperfect then would you say that maybe we should not make any decisions? Should we just blindly listen to the voices in our heads and follow their instructions? Or should we blindly follow orders from so-called preachers who claim to talk to God? I don't think so. We can either live for ourselves, or live for God as the Bible teaches us to do. I'm not saying there haven't been false teachings, or crooked preachers and priests. Of course there have, they gave into temptation from satan. If our decisions are negatively based, on what will ultimately hurt us, or other people, then we're not being guided by God. |

I don't think so. Because say I put a gun to a Christian's head, no doubt he'd beg for dear life. Kind of strange don't you think, considering how afterwards he'd go to heaven. You put a gun to anyone's head and their going to have that initial fear and shock. At least the saved, righteous person will be going to the right place. So that justified it? I think not! Love doesn't use terror tactics to get what it wants. Period. If you think it does, you don't know love or God. Who's the one who has the gun to the other person's head? There is nowhere in scripture where murder is condoned, so it's the man/or woman with the gun to the believer's head. The non-believer is being used by satan. He can't make him pull the trigger, no. But what he can do is fill that person's mind with negative, evil lies and deception to fool the non-believer into thinking what he/or she is doing is somewhat justified. Love is not coming from the one with the gun. Anything we think of negatively, doesn't come from God, those are mental attacks from satan, so only love comes from God and Jesus. Thou shall not murder is one of the ten commandments. Clearly stated and easily understood. |

Well, there wouldn't be a human race if our ancestors
practiced same sex, and didn't have any outside hetero sexual relations. In short, if everyone were gay back then, there would simply be no homosapiens today. There were no fertile clinics where some gay man could waltz in and give his seed to someone else to reproduce another human being. |

I've never really understood why some women went for
guys who were taller. Not that they likely had more than what the shorter men had. I'm 5'10, but what would a man over six feet have, other than to see over peoples heads, and further down the street? |

Yeah, it did sound exciting at first. Bones and bone cartilage aren't really made to stretch out that far. Hope you are doing alright with it. Yeah, I'm doing fine, cheers! But if I could choose, I'd rather do without. It can be a pain in the neck. Happy to know you're doing fine. Believe me I've seen what physical pain can do to people, as my Dad had been diagnosed with severe rheumatoid and osteoarthritis since he was in his mid-30's. I was just going on 13 at the time. |

What is HMS if you don't mind me asking? I had never heard of it. And I agree with health. A person can have all the money in the world, but if they aren't healthy, they can't enjoy the sinful pleasures (trying to exclude myself here) of being very wealthy. Also called hyperlaxity: joints that stretch farther than is normal. Sounds really exciting, lol, but it can cause problems as joints simply aren't as 'solid' as they should/could be. Yeah, it did sound exciting at first. Bones and bone cartilage aren't really made to stretch out that far. Hope you are doing alright with it. |
