A Question on "Sin"...???

[alien amp pharm]

Bikinimom: Thanks for clarifying. I may disagree on most of it, but I respect your thoughts.

Ranger Darlin'...we've all done alot of blabbering on your thread.....so, how about you tell us what you think....

Wow, we all did blabber on and on didn't we? Oh well, I enjoyed it. Peace everyone.

As for the bible. I did study it in catechism, four years of catholic high school and some in college. It is a text that has been translated GOBS of times by many different people, many with different "agendas". So I don't believe that much of it can be taken literally.... much like art or poetry.

I agree, not only do parts of the bible contradict itself (depending which diciple speaks), but its been burned and edited so many times who knows what of it you can believe anymore. Man has corrupted it IMO, so I go by seat of the pants for the most part nowdays.

Dr M, Alien Pharm Animal and all the others who shared their thoughts... that is what makes intelligent discourse so enjoyable. We have exchanged ideas, refined our own thoughts and perhaps became a bit enlilghtened.

I always respect the opinions of others and thier right to express them... and also agree to disagree!

How boring would the world be if we all thought the same?

I believe that new ideas are born out of conflict and debate.

I must agree, and when blazed I ponder certain things, among my favs, the Bible and Christanity....a few other thoughts I have pondered....

1. After the great flood, did Noah and his kin commit incest to re-populate the world, much as Adam and Eve perhaps did with their offspring.

2. Dinosaurs

3. Abraham's wife(Sarah) was barren, therefore he went among the slaves and concieved a child...was this not adultry?

4. Some of the recent discoveries of early man makes you wonder about Adam and Eve and the garden of Eden.

5. Mary and Joseph were married, yet they did not consumate the marraige on their wedding nite?

Again, this is thinking on the lines of mortal man....

Heh heh heh

Pondering thoughts....Enjoy


Pilate's Dream

A church bell rings, a child dies
And no one even cares or cries
A church bell rings, a teacher burns
No one cares... and no one learns

The One was here but now is gone
On pilgrimage to hell
The darker ones had come for Him
He tried to stand but fell

A church bell rings, a leader dead
And no one cares what men he led
A church bell rings, a soul is sold
And no one feels the creeping cold.

The One is dragged down darker path
The dark ones take His soul
He bleeds and dies, the dark ones laugh
And throw Him in the hole.

A church bell rings, a shepherd murdered
And no one cares what sheep he herded
A church bell rings, a fisher drowned
And no one saw the pearls he found

The One falls in the lake of fire
And burns out in a flame
And no one ever hears him weep
as he cries his father's name

A church bell rings, and a savior is crucified.

I love discussion, I hate fights, problem is many people are so threatened by hearing other ideas they end up getting pissy. While I may never agree on a point someone is speaking about, there is no reason to get pissy about it

Discussion is fun, arguments are lame, I just walk away most of the time.
