Yes, I like the Suffering Servant being the People of Israel. That to me is correct. It has to be people. I was just wondering if there was an idea that may have had that it could be the Torah. I consider the Prophets and the Torah somewhat the same and was wondering if there was a tie to...
I have tried to fast but have never made it 24 hours. Maybe made 12 hours. It sounds like you have the disipline for it. I think the concept of 'learning to do without' is what it teaches. There are many things we can learn from suffering. I do not mean that fasting is suffering, but it is...
I do not know how adoption worked when slavery was used. But it would not surprise me if the adoption method evolved from early slavery.
I am not trying to make a point that what slavery is and was is way wrong. But there were historically people who worked off debts with an...
What if the child was homeless and starving, no one to help it. I would open my door, if we had an agreement that the child would obey me for 7 years. Then the child could go out into the world on its own with some money. I would teach the child/slave to be a good person and maybe even my...
The Force can not get bored, it is always creating. It never stops, it just keeps on going and going, time does not exist to It. It is the beginning and the end. Being bored is a human concept that requires an envelope of time to be bored in. The Force is timeless therefore It can not be bored.
What if you knew that you are going to set them free, say in 7 years. So you get the slave when it is 10, you give it a good place to live and teach it about things of the world. Then after 7 years you let it go free out into the world on their own.
But the deal is they have a prepaid...
Just curious, how much do you think people have distorted the Bible/Scriptures. Meaning how much do you think false teachings about the Bible are going on inside the Christian church.
I have a green one that is the best, my blue one is about have as bright, the red ones are the weakest. They cost between $4 and $15. I use them to point at the stars. They are sold as lazer pointers, but they feel like Light Sabers, just alot smaller, but with a better ray of light.
IMO... When the mother is in the 6 or 7 month of the pregnacy the baby is physically still both sexes. During the time when the sex organs are growing into either male or female, there are several mixtures of chemicals/hormones that are very specific to the formation of the sex organs and...
Not sure if you heard about it, but scientists just created the capabilities of the human mind in a computer. Check out IBMs "Watson". In two years the data storage for it will be able to be held in a hand. If they put that in a robot - cyber warfare is on.
I just wanted to let you know I do understand the above statement and I fully agree with it. I know Islam is not reading the Qur'an, and saying, alcohol is prohibited, because that is what the Qur'an says. IMO...Islam is making its best effort to stay pure and clean, by saying sin grows from...
Yes I understand what you are saying and I think most people get it. I agree the actions of a drunk might be/is a sin (lets just say they defile the person). What that leads to, is most likely great sin.
Adultery and fornication is a sin. That, I know we both agree. And I know you are...
