kiev (reuters) - a man shouting that god would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said on monday.
"the man shouted 'god will save me, if he exists', lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions," the official said.. "a lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery.".
But, God could have stepped in if he wanted to now couldnt he?
This man had no right to do what he did to prove that God exists. It's like asking God to make magic ----- and presto!
Why should God be blamed for this man's stupidity? The devil tempted this man to do that and he got mauled. The devil is happy. God asks us to be wise and resit the devil.

the story goes that god provided the rainbow as a symbol of his promise to never again destroy the world by flood.. noah and his family saw the rainbow after they left the ark.
after the waters had receeded.
after it had stopped raining for months.... yet a rainbow is simply sunlight spread out into its spectrum of colors and diverted to the eye of the observer by water droplets.
I don't understand the reason for this thread. How does the a rainbow disprove the flood? What evidence do you have or what is your arguement for this? You explain how light is divided through water droplets and then present some quotations about the flood and the rainbow, but I fail to see a disproving of it. Sorry.
I agree. God has kept his promise.

I suppose he thought he was a 'modern-day' Daniel?
This guy actually committed suicide. Daniel was cast into the lion's den. This man was very foolish. God is not mocked. This shows that God does exist because the man is foolish. God never told him to do that.

hey y'all,.
how many of you have tattoos, and if so what are they?
what is the meaning, if any, behind them?
What is it within man that makes us dissatisfied with the way the Lord made each of us?
Most people are not happy with the way they look so they seek ways that will cause them to feel better about themselves or cause others to accept them.
This is not wrong when it comes to having good grooming habits, but we need to understand true beauty comes from within, not from what we wear or how we look.
When the emphasis is put on the outward appearance we can be ensnared in vanity, rejection, fear, pride and even racial discrimination.
One of the most wonderful things about receiving the Lord is that He wants to deliver us from the outward things that we think we need to feel good about ourselves. When we are in sin we do not feel worthy or acceptable, but through Christ we are.
Many young people today do not realize that they may be sorry in the future that they chose to put tattoos on their bodies today. We know of many people who have said to us that they wish they had not been foolish when they were young as now they must live with the reminder of what they did when they were young. Only a few people have the money to have them removed by laser.

did you guys know that?
yes-sir -e folks....says right here in jehovahs word...the watchtower.. "using life in harmony with the will of god" .
(watchtower 9/15/1961, pages 564) .
There may well be health related reasons for not eating meat that has not been bled, but if there are, they are not stated.
Eating meat that had not been bled is much different than giving or receiving blood transfusions. When our blood might help someone, should we give it or not give it? The Bible does not specifically address the problem of transfusions, but it does give glipses into God's heart that show us what He wants us to do in these cases.
Christ helped us understand a very important principle: the law was given to help people, to get people to do good and not evil. The law encourages us to save lives, but sometimes withholding blood actually amounts to killing.

I don't have any tatoos.
As a believer in Christ it is not a good thing to have on your body.
The Bible warns us against tattoos in Leviticus 19:28 this is an Amplified version which says, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord."
This is not condemn anyone who already has a tattoo, but just to warn those who are considering getting one.
The thing is to those who don't know, TATTOOING HAS WITCHCRAFT "ROOTS".

i've been in an upbeat mood lately.
i don't know if it's all the exercise that i'm doing or what but i've not been moody all 3 weeks.one thing that i've noticed, is that i've listened to certain songs that made me forget about "her" and move on with bigger and better things.
when i was depressed i listened to some songs from tool, some from the cure, barbra manning, the old babyface songs,some from sade, sweetback, and maxwell and everything but the girl.
One day at a time!
ONE DAY AT A TIME, SWEET JESUS I'm only human, I'm just a woman / man Help me believe in what I could be And all that I am. Show me the stairway, I have to climb. Lord for my sake, teach me to take One day at a time. Chorus: One day at a time sweet Jesus That's all I'm asking from you. Just give me the strength To do everyday what I have to do. Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus And tomorrow may never be mine. Lord help me today, show me the way One day at a time. Do you remember, when you walked among men? Well Jesus you know if you're looking below It's worse now, than then. Cheating and stealing, violence and crime So for my sake, teach me to take One day at a time. (Chorus) blessedstar
