So they shouldn't be taken literally? So if it says you should not steal
it's OK to steal sometimes?

Sorry Kate,

You really hit a sour note with the statement; "Nothing is
pre-determined."
You better think that one over again. Death came to my thoughts as soon
as I read your post. Everyone dies! Even Christ died when he had a human
body. Night and day are pre-determined in our life on earth by the
rotation. We have a pre-determined amount of water on this earth. There
are many, many things that are pre-determined. Think about them.

What was the other--oh yeah! The rules were all in place before man had
a conscience. That being the case, why was it necessary for Moses to be
given the "Ten Commandants?" Why oh why have there been so many Judges
and Lawyers in this World of our?

Not really. I know plenty of people that aren't dead.

MC...quit being a shrew...you know as well as I do that certain books of the
Old Testament are allegorical, some are genealogical, and some historical.
Some of the history is laden with with epic events, some of those
allegorical in nature.
You make a very poor Devil's Advocate. And if there is a lesson taught in
an allegory, it is a truism no less than if it is a lesson taught through
history. --

Death is a natural course of events...it is not a pre-determination. No one
points a finger and says "This guy goes on June 22, 2005". That would be
pre=determination.

Good lord. Another English failure.

Main Entry: pre·de·ter·mine
1 a : FOREORDAIN, PREDESTINE b : to determine beforehand
2 : to impose a direction or tendency on beforehand

Living things tend to die. Katie, the word has a meaning, quite specific and
not subject to your voodoo. Natural course or not, death IS predetermined. Now
go sacrifice a chicken and take 3rd grade English again.

I think you want to re-read Thom's post. I know most of the people you
hang with are dead, but that's not the point.

It is predetermined. You just aren't given a specific date.
