197Aust. Election in 1 week - A review of Kevin Rudd, PM
by fulltimestudent ini'm still determined not to vote - just to write something unpleasant about pollies on the ballot paper.
if i lived in victoria, i just may, as an act of sheer bastardry, vote for julian assange (of wikileaks fame), but i don't live in vic, so i cant.. my objection to voting is that the political choice offers two self-perpetuating oligarchies (who are something like the governing body).
they make up a slate of candidates and election advertising consists of attempting to persuade swinging voters to vote for their slate of candidates.. anyway, i noted that k.rudd has made a video in chinese, aimed apparently at mainland china.

All of Acts 10, and it continues to Acts 11: 1-18
MP:
Thanks. It says Peter preached to Cornelius, thats one man, nowhere does he preach to other gentiles. C could be jewish given he lived in Judea, plus he was a Centurion which also means he demanded a level of respect. peter couldnt be rude to a man like that.
After all would you be rude to a Centurion in those days or would you be peaceful in his presence ?
ACTS
1:19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
Why did you omit telling us about 19 where it says they only preached to jews ?
How dishonest to skip that bit because it shows what i said to be true and your example of Cornelius is an exception for the reasons such as the ones i give above.
TEC, you shouldnt lie like this and hide relevant info like this because its dishonest and yet again you get caught out lying.

Luke 24:44, the canon and its distortion
by kepler inelsewhere on this forum in some wide ranging discussion there was the question of who had originally written the pentateuch and job.
there are some who would say that the first five books of the bible ( and even job) were written by moses; and then over the passage of centuries, more and more arguments were cited for other origins for these books.
perhaps coincidentally i ran across book about mideast archeology ( the ancient city of ebla) which in the course of providing background gave an overview of this and similar biblical controversies.. the authors examined the arguments (pro) for moses having written the penteteuch citing versus in the the ot and nt:.

What if Malachi and others that speak of the law of Moses are wrong ?
Interestingly Deuteronomy means "Second Law", eg somebody wrote a revision to some older version. How could Moses have drafted so many changes to the law in such a short period of time. Most scholars today accept that Josiahs finding of D was a fraud and his scribes wrote the thing themselves and then "found" it.

Jeffro:
Why cant you simply compare the two numbers and shutup ?
You're relying on a correlation fallacy.
mP:
Of course i am. And the fact i put money in my bank account increases my balance is also a CF.
Put more effort in your repsonses, you spend more time with your straw man nonsense than proofs for any of your assertions.

Jeffro:
Numbers "rocketed" in 2009 as a direct result of specific situations in Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.
MP:
Asia is a large place with lots of countries in strife due to wars or natural causes. Go back any year and theres a place where people want to or are leaving.
But you gave some examples and i will show that your arguments are completely in error.
The examples you pick are flawed, because A has been at war or a place of oppression for over 30 years. IN the 80s they were fighting the Russians, then in the 90s we had the Taliban and their Sharia law and in the 2000s in addition to the T they had the war games of the western nations. Nothing dramatically changed in 2009 in A, its always been terrible.
Given the T power and areas under its control has been decreasing since the invasion, why would Afghans want to leave when things are getting better ? Sure its a terrible palce but at least its improving rather than getting worse ?
The same goes for SL. half the country has been a warzone for also dozens of years. In fact lately is actually been improving since the ceasefire. The violence has actually gone down and tehres some hope for peace, since hte end of the civil war.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_lanka_civil_war
The Sri Lankan Civil War was a conflict fought on the island of Sri Lanka . Beginning on 23 July 1983, there was an intermittent insurgency against the government by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (the LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers), a separatist militant organisation which fought to create an independent Tamil state called Tamil Eelam in the north and the east of the island. After a 26-year military campaign, the Sri Lankan military defeated the Tamil Tigers in May 2009 , bringing the civil war to an end. [1]
How does the end of a civil war make the situation worse in SL that more people want to leave ? WHy did they stay during the war , but leave after the peace ?
So here we have two nations while terrible by western standards are actually to some degree improving ? Why would people stay during the bad times and leave when theres hope ?
Your comments just dont make any sense. Of course go into further details to enlighten us if you wish. I think its pretty obvious who is right and wrong.

Zeitgeist, anyone seen it?
by Sammy Jenkis inso i was watching this on netflix today and had only really heard about the comparisons between jc and horus in religulous.
it amazed me how incredibly credulous i was as a witness- i would never have watched a video so full of "lies" had i still been in.. or maybe i'm willing to believe anything now..... for those that have seen it- how convinced were you with the comparisons between jesus and the zodiac?.

DeWald:
So why did Jesus die on the Spring Equinox ? Why did Jesus have 12 apostles ? Why did early xians so easily accept the birth of the sun on xmas as Jesus ? Why did Justin Martyr admit that xians worship the sun and planets just like everybody else ? Why did Josephus say the 12 tribes of israel are the jewish equivalent of the zodiac ? There are a zillion examples of astro theology in the bible and jewish culture.
Why is the story of Samson (which means god man) so similar to that of hercules ?
Which points in Z are wrong ?

He did not say that. He said He came for the lost sheep of Israel. The Jews only make up one portion (two - Judah and Benjamin); there are still ten other tribes. In any case, He came to them FIRST... then after being rejected, the invitation to become kings and priests with Christ opened to ANYONE who would hear and accept that call.
mP: SOunds a lot like the racial superiority doctrine of the nazis. Didnt they also think they were selected to be kings over all other lesser peoples ? The sad thing is they werent superior and they lost their war as well, but in both cases a lot of innocent people died.
