OT - Sunday Devotional : Repent before it's too late . . .
As a service to the group and as an adjunct to my Bible studies, I have decided to
add to my repertoire a Sunday Devotional so that one or more among us might see the light and be saved. Today's topic concerns the evils of homosexuality and the punishment for this sin. God commanded: "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable." -- Leviticus 18:22 God decreed: "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." -- Leviticus 20:13. God admonished: "But if you will not listen to me and carry out these commands, and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out my commands and so violate my covenant, then I will do this to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting diseases, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain away your life." -- Leviticus 26:14 Sudden terror? Consider the events of September 11, 2001. Wasting disease? Consider AIDS. Destroy your sight and drain away your life? Consider BSE (mad cow), Ebola virus, Avian Flu, etc. Heed God's words; obey His commands. Those men who engage in homosexual acts rain destruction upon the entire Earth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is my opinion that a man should not mince words just to spare the sensibilities of the thin-skinned or the ignorant." -- Capt. Neal |
Neal,
When did Leviticus become God or even talk with God, as did Moses? Your skill with the Bible is as lacking as your sailing skills. Both are in need of honing Ole Thom |

God commanded:..... Ahh ... but what "God". Go to sea and look into the sky some dark cloudless night. You will see countless stars in such a display it may give you virtigo. Now consider that some stars you see aren't there any more, long since burned out, while the light from most has been traveling toward you since before Earth, let alone man, began. Think about the power and majesty of any God that could have created all this - and the tiny atoms - as well all working in synch. Pause a moment ..... reflect on it. Now, if you can, imagine this same all powerful, all knowing God hoofing his way across an Earthly desert in the noonday sun on his way to check out *rumors* that villages were being disobedient. Can your imagination stretch farther? Then try to imagine some petty con man inviting "God" into his tent for a veal sandwich and if that doesn't get a laugh imagine "God" promising this dude all the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers if - hold your breath - he will cut off the end of his penis! And all his sons' penises! Now imagine that "God" lied! Despite following orders Abie doesn't get his land and his descendents have to sell themselves as slaves in Egypt. Quite a story, right? That is the "God" Capt. Neal is talking about. |
Neal is his own god, pathetic though he may be.

Well Vito, I'm very impressed. You obviously have the ability to understand how God thinks. You should share your knowledge with the world! The rest of us are just insignificant, and fairly unintelligent inhabitants of a small planet, orbiting an average star, in an average galaxy that contains 1000 billion stars, in a universe that contains more than 100 billion galaxies. We cannot even start to comprehend the thoughts of the Creator.... and we wouldn't presume to understand His motives. As you obviously have a greater understanding of God than the rest of us, perhaps you can answer a couple of simple questions. Why is Pioneer not accelerating at the speed that Einstein's Theories predict? Is Hawkings correct? Could the Universe have created itself spontaeneously(sp?)? Regards Donal -- |
Duh! Have you not read up on the latest finding with regards to dark matter. This dark matter has gravity that works just the opposite of how the gravity we know works. In other words, dark matter gravity repulses. Dark matter is causing the very fabric of the universe to expand at a rate far faster than the speed of light although light in the fabric of the universe only travels at the speed of light. A paradox? Hardly. But it does explain the slower than predicted acceleration of Pioneer. Pioneer is covering more distance than it seems from our vantage point because the fabric of the universe is expanding faster than the redshift of objects in it indicate. I have attempted to make Hawking et. al. aware of this via e-mail but they don't answer. They only listen to mathematical equations and I flunked calculus. CN CN "Donal" wrote in message ...

Vito,
Why of God that created us in his image. The God that created the Universe in 6 days and rested on the Sabbath. The God that put the Sun and the Stars ( Take you look at) in our sky. The God that created night and day. DON"T YOU KNOW NOTHING (GRIN) Ask Neal how the Universe can be expanding when it was completed and God rested. He does have a habit of speaking out of both sides of his mouth, as the mood strikes him. Ole Thom |

I look into the Universe and I see something that is beyond my comprehension. You look into the night sky and see that God is illogical. I wish that I possessed your clarity of vision. Tell us, How did the Universe come into existence? Is there only one Universe? Is Hawkings correct? Regards Donal -- |
"Donal" wrote I don't pretend to understand "God". You do. I look into the Universe and I see something that is beyond my comprehension. You look into the night sky and see that God is illogical. Your reading comprehension needs improvement. I agree that any being(s) capable of managing the universe are beyond human comprehension. That's why it is a bit silly to think that such a creature would be hoofing across a desert checking out rumors, let alone conning a petty grifter into mutilating his penis. Some local warlord maybe, who liked to be called "god", but the creator of the universe? Not likely! Yet that belief is the foundation of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Go figure. |

Agreed. That's why it is a bit silly to think that such a creature would be hoofing across a desert checking out rumors, let alone conning a petty grifter into mutilating his penis. Are you not human? Can you not see that you presume that you are capable of deciding what should be logical for God? You and I are genetically indisguishable from Stone Age man. We are barely intelligent enough to figure out that a bit of flint is useful. You didn't invent the personal computer .. and neither did I. Regards Donal -- |
Thats pathetic Donal!

Yes I agree... Donal seems to be losing his usual satiric bite.

The notion that an all-knowing god would have to check rumors is itself illogical. Almost a illogical as a creator who gave us a foreskin then had a small group of us cut it off. You and I are genetically indisguishable from Stone Age man. We are barely intelligent enough to figure out that a bit of flint is useful. You didn't invent the personal computer .. and neither did I. Well, actually, I did have some tiny part in it, and in some even more complicated machinery. |
