this is a question i've had for a long time.. according to the biblical account, adam and eve's sin was to eat fruit from the forbidden tree.. now, ordinarily, when we get caught doing something "wrong," we try to hide the "offending" member (the child tries to hide his hand that has the 'stolen' cookie; we hurriedly try to pull our pants back on when mom walks in unexpectedly while we're masturbating, etc.)..
so, if the "sin" of adam and eve was eating a forbidden fruit, then why wasn't their first impulse to hide their hands?
or to wipe off their mouths?
Original sin: Innate depravity (=corruption, i.e. moral deterioration) common to all human beings in consequence of the fall (=Adam's sin and its results). — the Concise Oxford Dictionary, 1964 edition.
Interesting that the fall is defined in the Bible as Adam's sin, though the Original Serpent and the woman (later named Eve) had sinned first, as noted by how the punishments were meted out in the latter half of Genesis 3.
if jeseus is only the mediater for the 144,000, and wts now says the 'system' may outlast the remenent, then the earth would be without a mediater between man and god?
And, now, who is the US he is talking about? I wasn't there then.
i will try to make this brief but how can you abbreviate love and kindness?
this is truly amazing!!!!
as many you have seen i ran into a small glitch on the forum the last couple of threads, without going into detail and really not necessary as there have been plenty of comments and views on both threads, i was willing to walk away from the forum because this is my nature as paul said in .
It is loving to warn of negative consequences. It's taught by SuperNanny. How much moreso by JWs.
who really killed goliath?
before answering "david, of course" look at 2 samuel 21:19.
Maybe it was Elhanan that wrongly took the credit that rightly belonged to David?

Biblically there are no anointed and non anointed that's a crude doctrinal error produced by the FDS, all people are either christian and anointed or non christian and non anointed. Likewise there is only one mediator between men and God, that is Christ.
I read in my Bible every day. I read of Kings and Priests being anointed, and others too. The others in the Bible must not have been. I've been a Christian all my life. Nobody anointed me with holy water, or fire of holy spirit. How do you figure that I'm anointed anyway? Also, if I were a woman or boy or girl, I'd not be a man. In that case, who would my mediator be, according to you?
it's a long shot to prove such a thing... i'm curious how this will pan out.. .

Of course, an added wrinkle is that Jesus was resurrected, so no body to be found and analysed. Had they been able to find it, they could apparently then have known, not only Mary's DNA but Jehovah's as well.

hugh hefner is getting married again - he's 80 - his bride to be is 27 - one of his 3 girlfriends off his reality tv show.
she wants kids and he thinks that at last he's found 'the one'!
Talk about used goods!!
recently i have been reading a book, nearly done now, called "under the banner of heaven".
it is about some fundamental mormons (the ones who practice polygamy andwho are not accepted as lds among regular members of the slc based church.. in this book, while explaining the attempted insanity plea for a fundy lds murderer, they had several psychiatrists (both lds and non lds) explaining insanity.
the argument i thought was interesting was when the defense brought up his very unorthodox beliefs (they sounded nutty to me-and would be considered so by most lds folks also).
And then there is the "idiot savant", a person with Savant Syndrome, described at http://www.wisconsinmedicalsociety.org/savant/faq.cfm.
tonite was one of those nights.
the stress of the last month or so just finally got to me.
i had a trying day at work today.
Overlooking. Hopefully with a great scene in front of you both, arms around each other. The smile. The touch. The simple things in life are free.

Like what happened with Anna Nicole Smith.
