But the answer to your initial question - why don't most Jews today believe - because it's God's plan that the majority not believe - so the message would be spread to the Gentiles and around the world - and only after the full allotment of the Gentiles come in will the Jewish people (who have been made spiritually blind to the issue) as a nation come to acknowledge Jesus as Lord - See Romans 11 as well as Isaiah and Zecheriah.
Yeah I can't help but LOL when a Christian fundie claims that they know Judaism better than the Jews do. They only, you know, wrote the entire Old Testament.
Surrogacy is what is making gays become what they consider "families" and we all know how out of hand the gay community has become. Even for a straight couple, I think waiting for God's will is the way to go. We should never take matters into our own hands, especially conception. I just never had a good feeling about it. So many of these embryos die or don't implant into the surrogate's uterus and I think that is God trying to tell us something.
I agree with those who pointed out the first surrogate pregnancy was arranged by Sarah and it was not pleasing to God. She and Abraham took matters into their own hands and the consequences still haunt the world today. The lesson there is that we must wait on God no matter how long He takes or how disappointed we are by His silence.
God ordained one method for creating a child and anything else, artificially done or not, isn't what He had in mind.
People can site a thousand "noble" reasons for doing this but the motives always seem to stem from selfishness. I've read many heartbreaking stories of "good friends" ending up in bitter court battles over a child due to surrogacy. All parties may start out with good intentions but human egos take over and someone always gets hurt, particularly the child who comes to resent his freakish conception.

Sometimes I wish that those of us who embrace technological and scientific advancement could blast off into space and settle down on a nice planet somewhere, where we could be free of these jackasses.I'd rather shoot them into space on some planet far less interesting than this one.
Yeah. They don’t know what to do with an interesting planet. We’d be doing them a favor, I think. ;)Sometimes I wish that those of us who embrace technological and scientific advancement could blast off into space and settle down on a nice planet somewhere, where we could be free of these jackasses.I'd rather shoot them into space on some planet far less interesting than this one.

Pluto will always be a planet to me! Young whippersnappers! *Waves cane*
See, his love for the sun is unrequited. Charon however sycophantic he seems, really does love Pluto. Pluto just doesn't know it for sure. Charon is just afraid of displeasing Pluto and ruining his chances of a relationship.Uh, nice hypothesis. I suppose it works pretty well depending on the tone with which you read, “I know you exist.†But even with a loving tone, there is nothing to indicate the relationship would be healthy or last. It’s a big ol’ maybe.
Eventually, they'll both come out for each other and have a big planetoid/moon relationship. Maybe even get married if it's legalised by then.
Actually I don't live in a tub on the streets of Athens.
Wasn't Paul the one who went from persecuting Christians to persecuting EVERYBODY after falling off his head and nearly cracking his skull open on a rock?
Shouldn't that be a red flag right there?

Obama is the first US president that truly despises this country. He was raised and immersed in pro-communist indoctrination. He spent part of his childhood in a Muslim country learning in a Muslim school.
He has been utterly disrespectful to our allies: Israel and the UK just to name a few. For instance, when he walked into the Oval Office after being elected he saw the bust of Winston Churchill given to the US by Britain as a symbol of our two nations friendship, and I can't even repeat what he said, but he had it removed and gave it back to Britain. He has never visited Israel since being elected President and has treated Netanyahu with absolute disdain.
Obama has never had an actual job. He worked for 6 months total in the private sector. Other than that he has worked and surrounded himself with leftists. He supports every form of killing a baby possible including infanticide, which he lead the charge to remain legal in Illinois. He promotes the homosexual agenda. He has lied so many times without blinking it isn't funny. Obama is purposely systematically destroying our economy to bring about his "change." He governs outside the laws set up by our founders through the constitution.
I do not believe Obama is a Muslim. I believe he is an atheist and an opportunist. You can look and see Liberals aligning themselves with extremist Muslim groups. I believe Obama has accepted the old tactic of : the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Obama's enemy being the very nation he is supposed to be leading.
In short, I believe the man is evil. It is also my belief that his job is to diminish the US, and this will in turn give rise to the antichrist.

Atavist;Schizophasia as it finest.
Question, after a thousand plus posts on RR,does anyone doubt I'll be banned because I think a mod there is being foolish?
Atavist, check your profile at RR. ;D
They certainly have a lot of knowledge, but true wisdom comes from Christ and life experience, not just memorizing the pages of a book and repeating it ad infinitum.

RR won't let me have an account. Someone want to share the joke for the rest of us?

If My Little Pony Guy starts spouting Bible verses, he'll fit right in. So far, he's basically hitting all of the checkmarks:
Takes Left Behind seriously.
Thinks his instructors don't "really think for themselves."
Scoffs at any religion other than Christianity.
Thinks Jesus talks back to him.

While it of course has no bearing on the rest of the crazy, I have to say that I'm surprised that nobody mocked the guy over watching My Little Pony over there. I can't be certain he's a guy because I'm not a member, but I would expect them of all forums to be hostile to bronies, especially if they're male.
I love it when Readians come over here and posts as guests because they're too afraid to get a real account. This is not RR, we do not generally ban people for dissenting opinions.

I doubt anyone is "afraid" of an account here. It's more like we don't plan on being here long enough to bother getting an account here. Further, I don't normally "hang out" at places where cartoons are the norm. I grew out of that 35 years ago. This place looks like a satanic Sesame street. With wittle lisp...er...lithp being the official "Oscar in the garbage can" for FSTDT. ;D ;D
Edit: THIRTY-FIVE? Dude, that's nothing to brag about. Your "jokes" & overall writing style sound like they come from a 12-year-old. If that's true, you are a total manchild.

Are you hating on ponies, son? ???
Because Napoleon hates fun, guests can no longer post. So someone with an account should tell me if I appear on RR in the near future.(click to show/hide)
Why does this guy seem to think that Lithp is the spokesman for the forums?
I kinda want an account on RR just so I can use their search function. I'm also tempted to make a MLP thread over there if I get an account, because I don't think one exists.

Because sheep are blindly obedient and they will follow an example even if they can't see an obstacle in their way. He was saying how we must all be sheep and follow the examples of our fellow Christians even if we don't see an obstacle, because we never know when there will be one.??? So… what makes the ones you are following so much more aware of their surroundings than you? Did he ever try to explain that?
Yeah, notice the end conclusion of that cautionary tale.Totally. It is just that the flaws in his story are so fuckin’ obviousâ€â€like the hole in the shuttlebusâ€â€that I can’t help but wonder how the hell someone can justify it to themselves. Of course, the answer nine times out of ten seems to be that the person is an ignoramus that doesn’t realize there is anything to be justified. I guess the pastor really took his own story to heart.

Which means that I'll just have to check it from my laptop, my computer at work, or one of the several other computers I have access to around the city of Columbus. Or sign back in using one of my other three accounts.
Also, cute user name Ativan. Was it dumb luck or choice, that caused you to pick a name which is the same as a drug used to cause altered states of consciousness in those suffering from anxiety?
This is a duty I take as seriously as your mom.Why do I not see this ending well?
I know they can't know the date or the time...but seriously how fucking long do these people expect to be here. RR was going strong when I first signed up and that was a couple of years ago.Hells, RR was founded back in 1995. So for 17 years they've been crying, "SOON!!"
The sedative-hypnotic and anterograde amnesia properties of lorazepam [Ativan] are sometimes used for criminal purposes.Hmmm... I wonder what that could possibly be...

To be fair to the Xian fundies, there is a passage condemning gays in the New Testament. Of course, Paul wrote it, and he basically hated ALL sex, so there ya go.
Because.Fuck No’d. Because.
OH, there's hope for the worst of the worst.
I met a former Hell's angel enforcer. He raped, he tortured, he beat people, he murdered. He repented and got saved. He was just alight with God's love. He actually led someone to Jesus in the waiting room while I answered phones.
You know, it bothers the shit out of me that theologians, when assembling the bible and deciding what books would make it and which ones wouldn't (and there are a lot of those that didn't), nobody took a moment to realize that ONLY PAUL was saying the things he was. None of the other 12 Apostles or (more importantly) Jesus himself said anything like what Paul was saying.
This didn't throw up a red flag?
Nobody took a moment to question this?
...fucking WHY?

Yes, it's sad that babies are being abandoned, but that's not an indication that the world is going to hell. This is actually an improvement. In the past, most abandoned babies simply died. No one cared about it that much, either. For all their complaining, the world is better than its ever been. I don't know how people can look at the past, look at the present, and say, "Yep, it's getting worse."
I cannot fathom how a parent could dispose of their child, when an animal would do everything in its power and by its maternal instinct to prevent anything from taking away its offspring, or even ponder abandment. Especially given the fact that animals also have no ability to reason.
