Go! Get Smited
August 20th, 2008 by Lib
Dear Dr. Laura,
learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with
as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual
lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly
states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from
you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow
them:
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They
claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus
21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for
her?
I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her
period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do
I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female,
provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine
claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?
A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination
- Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t
agree. Can you settle this?
Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a
defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my
vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around
their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How
should they die?
I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different
crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two
different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse
and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble
of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t
we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with
people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you
can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and
unchanging.
absolute class!! great stuff!
come on christians….
Oh blimey,
Urban throws down the gauntlet - whatever the comments that follow are let’s hope something ‘inspirational’ can follow and people can learn something.
Gulp.
**shuffles feet nervously**
Hello Lib.
To follow your long post here is a long comment’
Things I have learnt approaching my 60th birthday
1. Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings”.
3. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.
6. You should not confuse your career with your life.
7. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
8. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.
9. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
10. Never lick a steak knife.
11. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.
12. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.
13. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
15. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 11.
16. “The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
17. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.
18. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
19. Your friends love you anyway.
I think this is in the same thread
Top stuff dad!
Great work Bo Snr!
Number 4 is soooooo true. Nice list.
Simple Zacks last blog post..(Almost) End of Summer
Bo Snr,
Great list, but regarding number four. I want to hear others and their point of view and beliefs. I want to get to know people of all types and faiths, but do not want to get into a debate where one tries to convince the other to switch sides. I like the open-minded, information sharing, respectful discussion. It helps me to know more about the other person and myself.
ClinicallyCluelesss last blog post..PAST JOURNAL ENTRY: August 23, 2005
interesting responses and even more interesting post. I guess it goes back to my comment about what I should believe but really didn’t. This guy was stressing just that. If you take the Bible literally for whatever suits you; you’ve got to take the rest too….kinda life getting the wife and the MOTHER-IN-LAW!!!
Roschelles last blog post..Wordless Wednesday
I agree and there lies the rub and the numerous denominations because of different interpretations. However, to me the bottom line is who is Jesus Christ to you after that is mostly what others have added. But, who is Jesus to you and do I see that type of love coming through you? That is the very basic question to me because the Bible is not explicit with everything; however, there are implied things. So, people do use it to their own purposes, so I always go back to the bottom line. And, yes I can be friends with anyone. Actually, more of my friends are non-Christian. I only say that to emphasize my point, not to “brag.”
ClinicallyCluelesss last blog post..PAST JOURNAL ENTRY: August 25, 2005 ~ Teasing
oh how i wish i could involve myself in religious /political debate type topics.
football’s a pretty strong subject too to have an opinion on so I’ll stick to the real issues like:
Cucumbers - green menace of the street cleaners or innocent kebab dressing
Lawns - will global warming mean and end to hover mowers?…….
ohhhh i feel a smiting coming on………….
and on another topic entirely - Mandy was driving by a church once (see it is connected) with the windows down and the stereo on full belting out Bicycle Race by Queen - as she drew level with the church, a rather ‘plump’ bride was exiting and the lyric rang out ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ - not the best timing in the world.

Well…I am Canadian and I work on Sunday…so hmmmm….I”m taking myself out of this conversation…
V diplomatic Taylor!
Holy shit.
I have to read that book!!
Just curious…but is there anything in there about being able to kill people who get into car accidents on perfectly clear, dry days…causing me to sit in 45 minutes of standstill traffic? I’m kinda hoping so…because I really need that release by the time I get to the accident site if the person isn’t dead already.

Numbers 35:30
Well, with great trepidation, I will enter into this discussion. My fear is that I will be attacked as representing Christians or alienate those who are homosexual. Before, I begin I want you to know that I have several friends who are homosexual and my aunt had a committment ceremony many years back with her partner and they are still together. I am not an expert in this and I have some literature that I do not have ready access to at this time. So here goes. Please try to read this with an open mind and remember I am only one person.
From Bible.org, it states “Now Paul does not single out the homosexual as a special offender. He includes fornicators, idolators, adulterers, thieves, covetous persons, drunkards, revilers and extortioners. And then he adds the comment that some of the Christians at Corinth had been delivered from these very practices: “And such were some of you: But ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God” (I Corinthians 6:11). All of the sins mentioned in this passage are condemned by God, but just as there was hope in Christ for the Corinthians, so is there hope for all of us.”
I do believe that homosexuality is a sin. However, I’ve often wondered why the “church” continues to attack homosexuality and abortion with such passion and violence. I think that it is their inability to accept it as a part of the church. That yes there are people who are homosexual and who have had abortions along with many other types of sin. But, Christ would not be attacking these individual, he would be loving and accepting. My belief is that since they do not want to “deal” with the fact that this exists they think more simply like everything is good or evil; black or white. The church tends to split anyway. The church is far from perfect and I think they also tend to do this with many other issues as a way to avoid it. It is like let us make it not exist, so that I can be more comfortable. Bottom line is that ALL have sinned.
The “church” generally has an inability to look at abortion, adultry, divorce, homosexuality and mental illness, as real issues that Christians face. Some bitterly attack these issues and cause people not to talk about it in church because they do not want to accept reality that it exists in the church. Now, this is my opinion. What is called from us, is acceptance of the person, get to know the person, no judgement because we have all sinned and not all of these issues are sins of the person. I think the above is why people with these sins are attacked far more vehemently than even murderers. They go to prisons and accept and evangelize. Why not for other sins?
For me, I feel that what God wants from me from reading the scriptures is loving acceptance. The other part is between the individual and God. Part of the issue is that it is not that clear in the Bible. Quoting the Law from the old testament doesn’t necessarily hold up because by Christ dying for us, he made the law dead which does not mean that we are not to follow some of it. But, he did say that the most important things are to love God and to love others. We are not to drive or attack people who sin.
Personally, my friends and family know that I am a Christian, so they automatically assume that I believe homosexuality is a sin. They are right, but then I also become the target of all of their “bad” feelings about it, so I get attacked even when I let them know that I love them just the same. I do not treat them differently than anyone else who is family or a friend. All have sinned, which includes me, I would hate to be judged by my sins by others. At a certain point, it is between me and God. God first commands us to love. I want to get to know someone and their beliefs and experiences and understand them and love them…some people are harder than others. However, what helps with those who are harder to love is to know that there is some type of hurt behind that. Again, my stance is that it is a sin, but we all sin and one is not greater than the other. Each one separates us from God which is why Jesus died for us. As a Christian, I am, by the scriptures, commanded by Jesus to love and accept. And, if I ask the familiar question, “what would Jesus do,” I believe that I am doing it. Not so much judgement from me, but let me get to know you, accept you, and love you.
I’m sorry that this is so long and rambling, but I guess I just got started and had stuff to get off my chest. Thanks for listening. Okay…I’m ready for what is going to come, I think. I really put myself out there with this one. Arg!!
ClinicallyCluelesss last blog post..PAST JOURNAL ENTRY: August 23, 2005
Fair play Clinically, a brilliant insight into your thoughts as a Christian and whilst I don’t agree, you’ve certainly got my respect.
It’s really made me think about what I believe to be a sin as I don’t have the ‘what would Jesus do’ mentality, it’s what would I do.
I want to say that I don’t think there are sins or sinners but of course there are and that comes down to each individuals moral scale more than religion.
For me, homosexuality isn’t a sin as it doesn’t hurt anyone and I don’t think abortion is either but arguably that does hurt someone.
Thank you for getting me thinking and this is exactly what I wanted from this post.
‘it doesn’t hurt anyone’
thats ‘open’ to debate surely
Thank you. This is a really tough issue. I think I’m glad that you brought it up because you really stretched me to actually put out there my beliefs knowing that most who read this will probably disagree. Thank you for your respect and glad it made you think.
**Applause CC**
Treading where most fear to tread!
Respect to ya!
This post has got to be one of the best examples as to why religion is nothing more than organized superstition, designed by those with the task of governing peoples without the infrastructure of modern society before science and proven knowledge, based upon fact, became available to all.
It is nothing more than a reflection of the morals and laws in place a good few thousand years ago, and although in this case is taken from the Jewish book, non the less can be applied to all ancient religious texts, Christians’, Muslims’, Hindus’ et al.
What I do find surprising is that educated people of today are still prepared believe such texts as ‘The Truth’. Not withstanding that, much of those texts actually do contain moral values worthy of applause, however, god, what’s the difference between him and the Easter Bunny, Leprachauns, Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy, or, the faeries at the end of the garden?
As to homosexuality, like Clinically Clueless, I also count poofters on my list of genuine friends. After all, what modern world citizen doesn’t like collect trophies of different criteria, and how liberal minded we should seem to be as we smugly show off our gay friends to others…
But the truth is that homosexuality is an aberration of what is right. Nature (to define this read ‘science’, not ‘god’) evolved living cells via reproduction, and as large clusters of cells, human beings like most creatures, evolved to reproduce through the copulation of opposing sexes.
Because a homosexual relationship of either sex cannot result in reproduction, it is an aberration of evolution.
Now that homosexuality is condoned in many countries, presumably people who in times gone by would have married and had children are now choosing to no longer hide their sexuality and live their lives as a lie. Therefore these peoples’ defective genes will not be passed onto future generations.
How long does anyone suppose it will take before we see homosexuality become extinct?
‘Defective genes’ ‘aberration of what is right’
Nice.
Honest, as requested.
So do you solely have sex for reproductive reasons?
My, what fun you must have in the bedroom.
but speedos you could also therefore aruge that anyone who uses contraception or engages in any form of sexual contact other than reproductive is also unnatural and an abberration?
What I do in the bedroom is my business, and I am sure you would prefer that I keep it that way. Contraception does not fit the description of unnatural or aberratation.
Homosexuality however does, it is a fact that such a union cannot produce reproduction and is therefore unnatural in the sense that it cannot promote continuity of any species outside of those unions of hermaphrodites.
Do not misinterpret my open opinion as a condemnation of homosexuals.
But if all homosexuals are out of the closet and living their chosen (or can’t help it) lifestyles, can one not conclude that this aberration of nature should not become extinct?
Tight Speedos
I don’t consider my friends trophies and I rarely discuss race or sexuality with people and don’t use it as a description. My friends are my friends because I like/love them and they likelove me.
In terms, of Christianity being superstition, laws and morals, yes that is a part of it. However, the bottom line is Jesus Christ and is he God, did he come to Earth to die for our sins and be resurrected. If one fully gets that, out of love and our human faults “should” come forth natural morals and values aligned with Christianity. Some education is needed also.
Christianity is the only organized religion that the focus of salvation or going to heaven or wherever that it is dependent on giving yourself over to a person/God/Jesus instead of by “trying to earn” your way through “being good.” It is about grace and not about working your way in. Yes, faith without works is dead, but it is the faith that comes first and not the works. Faith should naturally bring forth works.
ClinicallyCluelesss last blog post..PAST JOURNAL ENTRY: August 25, 2005 ~ Teasing
Thanks CC.
Will give a considered response soon, it’s too late here right now, but if all homosexuals are out of the closet and living their chosen (or can’t help it) lifestyles, can one not conclude that this aberration of nature should not become extinct?
Yours truly,
Tight Speedos
No, because there is adoption, arranged pregnancies, sperm banks, and the list can go on. So, to me it is not logical that people who are homosexual will become “extinct.”
And, I do not consider it an abberation of nature. I believe that it stems from brokenness or some wound in their past and the person’s way of working it out or getting a need met that was not fulfilled as it should have been by a mother and father. I do believe that some are born with an inclination toward homosexuality and I’ve seen evidence for both sides. However, genetics plays a role in mental illness and addictions, but that does not mean that that it is okay to excuse “behavior” because each and everyone of us has the responsibility to obtain treatment. I am waiting and looking for more “neutral” scientific research to help me sort this out, so I don’t yet have a full opinion myself. However, there are definite people from who they may have a leaning toward and a childhood trauma pushes them in that direction. Bottom line is some men are more effeminate than others, but it does not necessarily mean that if they are effeminate that they are homosexual. The same with women who are more masculine. (have I got myself into more trouble here?)
Mr Speedos logic does work. If its down to genes then having no continuity would render homosexuality subject to removal by virtue of not being perpetuated. Who’d cut everyone’s hair then?
However I’m not sure it is.
For the record I don’t have gay freinds, in the same way I don’t have God botherers as freinds - sod all in common.
The guy who has been cutting my hair for 25 years is not gay, but is good looking and gets hit on by the men all the time.
Also, I am not saying that it comes down to genes. I was bringing it up as a possible factor that I am not sure about…oh, sorry I just realized you said, “you were not sure either.”
Do you intentional try to not have friends as you described or does it just end up that way? For me, it just ends up that way especially within the field I work in.
I’m not sure exactly how TS’s logic does work.
He is assuming that there is a ‘gay gene’ and the last I heard, it has not been proven to be either nature or nurture.
I have identical twin friends, one is gay, one is straight. My point is not one of ‘check out my token gay friend’ but one of how does that work?
You cannot possibly assume that homosexuality will become extinct unless you know exactly what homosexuality is.
And quite frankly, no one does.
homosexuality was rife in the Roman Empire. It doesn’t seem to have affected them!
By point is this- IF any sexual conduact that is not specifically aimed with the express purpose of procreation is an ‘abberation’ ie, oral, self ‘indulging’ then surely this is an equal abberation. Additionally using any form of contraception is a deliberate attempt to halt this process so that therefore is.
My question to TS would be this. Why would being gay be any more of an abberation than these practices. If the start point is ’sex is only for reproductive purposes’ - and who sets that anyway, then surely they are. In which case the people making the point are either a) hypocrites or b) anti-gay. Or perhaps, both?
Gareth, your view on not having gay people, or indeed ‘God botherers’ as friends as you have nothing in common is astounding. Why would you determine friends by their sexual orientation or their religious beliefs?
Well the logic works exactly how Gareth in Thailand described, I don’t think it’s a complicated theory, is it?
Regarding the ‘gay gene’, I base my opinion on my gay friends who state that they ‘knew’ from a very early age that they were attracted to the same sex.
I recall from childhood having a crush at the age of 5 years on one of the girls in my class, I also fancied my teacher (female wearing miniskirts) and I have never been attracted to the male sex. I also ‘knew’ at a very early age that I was attracted to the opposite sex.
Nature throws out aberrations to the norm on an ongoing basis, it’s how evolution works, some designs succeed, others fail. If all homosexuals were out of the closet and only engaged in homosexual relationships, I don’t think it would take long for the aberration to become extinct.
Adoption would not perpetuate homosexuality as nothing would be inherited from the adoptive parents. Sperm banks and arranged pregnancies on the other hand could achieve perpetuity.
For those of you who ‘believe’, a question: What does god make of sperm banks and arranged arranged marriages? Surely this activity is not condoned by god in any religion?
Its still a very big IF and unless genetically proven, it will remain a very big IF.
To UP,
I am neither hypocritical, nor anti gay.
The use of condoms and sex for pleasure does not fit the ‘aberration’ description. And for clarity’s sake do not misinterpret the word ‘aberration’ as an insult, it is not. It is what happens in evolution, there is an aberration to the previous design which either improves or detracts from what went before. Successful aberrations become the norm and the species in question evolves to better suit its environment and enhance its chances of survival. This is why I believe homosexuality is an aberration destined to weaken the chances for survival of a species.
Neither should you misinterpret my comments to mean that I classify sex for pleasure in the same bracket. I do not. Such a stance would actually weaken my theory. Sex is a pleasurable act due to successful evolution. Something that is pleasurable encourages us to take part in the activity, and in this instance taking part in the activity helps to ensure continuity of the species.
Well Lib, I can only respond to your last comment in partial agreement. It is a theory and by virtue of that fact is unproven, I have not described as a ‘proven theory’.
My difference is that I don’t believe it to be a ‘big IF’. I think its a ‘highly likely IF’. But that is just my open and honest opinion as you requested.
However, although there is significant evidence to support the theory of evolution, there is no evidence to support the theory of god. Yet believers of this fairy tale of creation are allowed to describe this theory as ‘The Truth’.
TS, As I said earlier which agrees with Lib, it has not been proven what, if any, that genetics effect homosexuality. I am open about that issue, but I do know that childhood plays a factor and it could be preverbal. Which could have been the case with your friend and I am not saying that it is. Would you explain, your comment, “Sex is a pleasurable act due to successful evolution?”
And, again there is proof about God and Jesus being resurrected. But, you have to take the time to research. However, you are not going to find a 100% proof answer. Faith is involved, but if you take the time and research both side thoroughly, you will find an answer.
LIB, thanks for asking GIT your question. I was going to wait depending on his answering my questions. I would feel like I were missing out of a larger world if I limited my friend. I don’t actively seek out a variety of people, but I find that the people with whom I am attracted to on a friendship basis come with all sorts of different beliefs and moral and we respect each others differences.
ClinicallyCluelesss last blog post.."The Wright Stuff" ~ Is Teasing Torture?
By all means, here is why “Sex is a pleasurable act due to successful evolution”.
Life, procreation and therefore evolution began with single cell creatures splitting in two, not a pleasurable act between 2 different individuals requiring motivation to copulate.
Successful evolutionary changes lead to the multitude of different species and the defined 2 different sexes we know today. Absolutely every facet of everything that is alive on this planet is a result of successful evolution. Consensual sex is one such facet, and it makes sense as it encourages copulation and therefore continuity of the species.
Perhaps now you can clarify something for me? You wrote, “there is proof about God and Jesus being resurrected.” If this is the case, where and what is the evidence?
I would not argue that Jesus did not exist, historical evidence suggests he may well have done and was one of many ‘messiahs’ of the era. But evidence that he and god died and were then resurrected is surely a monumental breakthrough in support of ‘The Truth’? Why isn’t the whole world aware of this, it is surely the greatest headline of all time?
Please, do share the evidence.
I would begin with a book called “Who Moved the Stone.” I can’t remember the author. I’m sure that there are newer books and there is one author that I really liked but cannot remember the name…that’s a lot of help. You can also start with the history of Jesus. There are lots of Christian books to begin with in the apologetics section. If you really want to look, start there. That is what I did. I think somewhere up there I wrote about my questioning. But, it eventually does take an act of faith.
ClinicallyCluelesss last blog post.."The Wright Stuff" ~ Is Teasing Torture?
I encourage people to go out trying to disprove Jesus and his ressurection, but with an open mind taking a thorough look at both sides. If you really want to find out for yourself, it takes a lot of time and effort. But, it is well worth the journey, no matter where you end up. Carl Sagen really wanted to believe in God and for him the make up of the universe made him believe more; however, being a scientist, he was never able to take a step of faith, which is required, but he really wanted to believe.
ClinicallyCluelesss last blog post.."The Wright Stuff" ~ Is Teasing Torture?
But the onus of proving the resurrection lays with those who claim it to be true, strangely enough, that is how science works. And sorry, but your books, whilst doubtless being good reads, are not evidence, they are conjecture. And there are plenty of well researched tomes, based historical evidence that cast severe doubt over the story of Jesus.
I don’t know if you saw it but there is a fairly recent (last 4 to 5 years - still getting airplay) BBC documentary presented by the British journalist, Rageh Omar, which perfectly debunked the myth of Jesus, however did state there was plenty of evidence to support that a Jesus existed, the only problem was that he was just another bloke, who, like many of his era enjoyed a good preach.
However, it does raise a bit of a dilemma of understanding for me. Why would a believing Christian refer to any other book than the Bible?
I think Carl Sagan’s position is entirely understandable, it is nice and comforting to believe an all forgiving god with a happy ever after once we have died. It was interesting that he wanted to believe but facts, or lack of them, would not allow him to. After all, without supporting facts and evidence (of which there are none) religion is exposed for what it is, organised superstition.
You avoid investigating for yourself and make assumptions regarding the books I recommend. I also, stated that you investigate both sides. In reference to the Bible, the books recommended will direct you to scripture. If you are not really going to do this, then the discussion is for discussion sake only. But, I do challenge you to do a thorough investigation on both sides.
Remember I said evidence only goes so far and after that it takes a step of faith. Carl Sagen was unable to do that. Also, “nice and comforting to believe an all forgiving god with a happy ever after once we have died,” is not why I became a Christian. My life would be much easier if I were not a Christian, but I am a believer because I believe that because of my sins, I was separated from God and Jesus came to Earth to die and be resurrected, so that I can be in relationship with God.
ClinicallyCluelesss last blog post.."The Wright Stuff" ~ Is Teasing Torture?
Just to clarify something… In some ways, my life would be easier if I were not a Christian because I could do whatever I wanted which is not the case with being a Christian. And unless you are a Christian you are not likely to get this, but I need to ask, “What do you want for me God…is this your will.” Somethings are directed by Him and somethings I feel like I’m to do what I want.
Many of the books written were written by people who were trying to disprove something such as Jesus’s resurrection.
Also, if you are not serious about this then, I do not want to continue our conversation. No offense, but I don’t want to discuss for discussion sake alone. However, I do value and respect what we have discussed between you and UP.
But where is the evidence? The fact is, there isn’t any.
just for clarity- say a bloke ended up with what he believed to be a woman and had sex with that ‘woman’ - say in thailand or somewhere and it turned out after that the ‘woman’ was actually a bloke has he committed a sin- or has the he/she for conning him?
Looking for salvation Urban?
no its just a moral question
if someone is unaware they are committing a sin then why should they be punished for it
Then, it may not be a sin.
ClinicallyCluelesss last blog post..PAST JOURNAL ENTRY: August 23, 2005
I might be wrong but I think that’s what Clinically is saying.
Punishment isn’t neccessarily a natural conclusion to a sin.
Once they are aware, then they are responsible to repent. Repentance is turning away from the behavior, not simply confessing. It means you try to walk away from repeating the “sin.”
ClinicallyCluelesss last blog post..PAST JOURNAL ENTRY: August 23, 2005
so in short you can get away with anything once as long as you say sorry after?
ace.
I’m off out now to commit armed robbery while high on drugs - I believe this to be a fine course of action.
if it turns out I shouldn’t have I’ll say sorry- no biggie!
Lib you are right. I do not believe that punishment follows sin; however, I do believe in natural consequences which would go for anyone. As a Christian, there are things that we need to do to make it right with God. However, many people get stuck on the guilt and there for judge themselves harsher than God does. They may also do that with others…their own issue, not God’s truth.
ClinicallyCluelesss last blog post..PAST JOURNAL ENTRY: August 23, 2005
I think unless they’ve quickly got married then you could count this as adultery and hence a sin.
However you should be able to recognise one before considering entering the playgournd of Patpong in Bangkok or Walking St in Pattaya. The golden rule here is - if its tall and pretty then don’t do it, look for something with stretch marks.
Obviously the deep voice, peeing standing up and understanding offside rules give them away as well.
