What Was Meant By 'Abstain From Blood'?
by headisspinning ini have always been very hardcore about my aversion to blood and have never even considered the possibility that this was merely a dietary restriction.
i always bought into the analogy of a doctor telling a patient to abstain from alcohol... it wouldn't matter whether this individual drank the alcohol or took it intravenously... it would all be in direct contradiction to the doctor's orders to 'abstain' from alcohol.. or the other analogy is to an apple pie... if you weren't to eat the pie, it would not be okay to separate it out into the main parts (or 'components)... ie.
the flour, the apples, the sugar or the cinnamon... if they were taken from that pie, you were eating the pie.. so maybe you can see where the questions popped up for me.

Was Jesus' sacrifice really necessary? Or even a sacrifice at all?
by AiAi indoes it make sense that after adam ate of the fruit god would condemn all of mankind until jesus sacrificed himself?
does 1 perfect person's sin really equal 1 perfect person's sacrifice plus billions of imperfect peoples death and suffering?.
jesus' sacrifice to save mankind really was not a sacrifice at all if he knew he would be raised up after 3 days.. .

For non-believers: What evidence would it take for you to believe in 'god'?
by jay88 init all comes down to evidence (but funny how we tend not to accept the evidence that indicates that what be actually believe to be true might be wrong).. this is a statement made by nick in previous thread of his.. >>>>>>>>>>.
if the ot 'god' reappeared today, would that be evidence of 'god'?.

DON'T pray for the victims of the Japanese earthquake/tsunami disaster.
by nicolaou init might make you feel better but praying will do them no good at all.
please, please consider donating to a legitimate disaster relief charity.
here in the u.k. i'd recommend shelterbox, perhaps some u.s posters could suggest other credible american organisations?.

Out of all the religions in the world our family chose the Jehovah's Witnesses!
by RULES & REGULATIONS inaround 1970,two jehovah's witnesses knocked on my uncle's door and handed him a watchtower magazine.
he read it and started a bible study with the two witness brothers joined by his immediate family.
my uncle soon called my aunts,uncles,and my mom and dad.

Redemption, Salvation, Atonement? The fly in the ointment
by SweetBabyCheezits ini posted this paine quote in the middle of another thread but thought it deserved its own.
this principle eluded me before reading the age of reason.
it's such a simple, basic concept of justice and yet so many christians miss it (as i did) or ignore it.. .

Good news for a change....
by ProdigalSon inamidst all the tragedy and bad news lately, i thought i would share something positive.
for those of you who are aware that we are not alone in this universe and that there is a hierarchy of "angels" looking out for us, that disclosure is imminent and that we are headed for a much better world where selfishness and greed are no longer the norm, where mankind will live in peace upon a "paradise earth", free from the wretched clutches of the dark ruling elite (yes, i am talking about the fall of "babylon the great"), then this news is for you: the "elohim" have everything fully under control.. for you skeptics, this is channeled information.
if you think this is foolish, please try to keep your negativity and ad hominem attacks to a minimum on my thread.
