But, since you think you opinion on this is totally subjective, what does it matter?  If subjective, even saying 'god is evil' means nothing.  All you are saying is that you object to it in the same way someone might object to a flavor of ice cream that he does not like.

But, showing mercy has its place.  Even Joseph, thinking Mary had committed adultery, did not seek to have her stoned.  But, God is making it clear, it is a sin worthy of death.  He lists others also.  In the laws given to Moses, we see how holy God is.   Now, when the women caught in adultery came before Jesus, it is interesting that He did not say that it was wrong to stone her.  But, he saw motive also.  He recognized that they did not care that she was caught in adultery (notice that the man she was with was not brought before him).  They knew the law, but not the heart of God.


But, clear or not - are you saying that one cannot absolutely say anything is wrong?

Not necessarily.  How God chooses to handle evil has varied.

Look.  We have different type of laws, yes?  Which side of the road to drive on - does it matter?   What matters is that we obey the law.  The principle behind the law is the same - the law exists to protect lives.

Adultery is always wrong.  It does not fit into the 'which side of the road to drive'.  Neither does murder.

So, you are asking about the penalty, not whether the right or wrong of adultery has changed.

The penalty was just.  Actually, if you and I were to get what we deserve, according to the Bible, it would be alot worse.

But, there is mercy and grace in Jesus.

People who abuse animals are one step away from doing the same to people. This sick individual took great joy in inflicting serious injury to this cat,  and even went out of his way to lure the cat in to do it. Do I object to jail time for him? Absolutely not - but I do agree that part of his sentence should be public service at an animal shelter - under the closest of supervision, of course.

As you know this is becoming a serious problem.  If I were you I would call your bank and ask them what they recommend.  All it usually takes is for them to send you a new card with a different number. Also by law you are responsible only for the first 5o dollars if they do honor the purchase. However you usually have to tell them that you will write to the attorney general if they do not want to do this.  Notice I said write as business knows that just  phone call to the district attorney will not mean anything it must be in writing.

Actually, did not my questions come first?

But, to answer, biblically, adultery is always wrong.  And, it is deserving of death.  It is not ok now, if that is what you think changed.  What God chooses to do about may have - and there are still consequences to adultery, even if no one else knows but the two involved.

 

Your turn.

So, you are saying when it was acceptable, it was right, and when it is not acceptable, it is wrong?So, if it becomes acceptable, it becomes right again?If someone was to ask you why stealing is wrong, or rape, you would tell them what?

Whenever I seek to verify something from Scripture, I am sooner or later successful.  It is historically accurate, for example.

In addition, it can be tested.  People's lives are changed in a powerful way in trusting in the risen Jesus that does not happen for those who do not trust.
Conscience is evidence that there is a Creator. Unless you are saying right and wrong are subjective.

That is the architect of Obamcare and it is no secret the model works best when folks don't live much longer than that.   Perhaps this opinion is personal (as of now) or perhaps it is political.  But the general tone of the piece is actually much the same as how I feel, and what I tell my family/friends to the same response he gets.  In short, he is NOT a supporter of euthanasia (nor am I) but rather he intends to not engage in life extending treatments (or preventative screenings) past a certain point and just intends to die of whatever takes him. 


As for the OP link....it's creepy that a couple is giddy planning their deaths.   And it also talks about [already legal] euthanasia for chronically ill children.  Welcome to the slippery slope.

Curious as to seeing how technology use and the extent of it affects people.

1. What is your age, gender, and race?

2. How many hours a day would you say you use technology (computers, tablets, smartphones, mp3 players, TVs, gaming consoles, etc.) for work/school/business purposes?

3. How many hours a day would you say you use technology for personal reasons?

4. Name the three websites you visit most often from most visited to least visited and give a short explanation as to why (for work purposes, entertainment, news, etc.).

5. Which of the social networking sites below do you use?
 Facebook
 Twitter
 Instagram
 MySpace
 Vine
 LinkedIn
 Pinterest
 Tumblr
 Google+
 None of these
 Other (please specify): _____________________________

6. On a scale of 1 (I do things at the last moment) to 10 (I do things right away) how good are you at completing tasks?

7. Do you believe that people trying to complete tasks in today’s age are more dependent on technology than earlier years? Why or why not?

8. Do you believe that technology has more positive or negative effects? Why or why not?

9. Do you think that technology makes you a better/more effective worker, or do you think it slows you down and makes you take longer to complete tasks? Why or why not?

10. Would you be able to completely and effectively complete tasks for work/school/yourself without the aid of technology? Why or why not?

The path is to have Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt and others who have a much bigger stake in that region to take up the fight against ISIS with us giving them air support.

Yeah, like that's going to happen.

The two most successful things I have done are eating and transportation.

Eating: From 2007 on, I have not spent a single cent in any restaurants in America, and spent only minimum time on cooking. My average time spent making a meal is 10 minutes.

Transportation: I rely mainly on Bikes. From 2003 on, I have been biking around flushing, picking bottles, and did not spend more than 30 dollars total on MTA subway or bus fares. The total amount of money spent on maintaining/fixing my bicycle is no more than 100 dollars. The wear and tear on the bike is also kept to a minimum: I wore out 5 bikes, was stolen 5 bikes, forced to throw away 5 bikes because of moving and lack of storage. Today I own 6 bikes.

Bikes are very suitable for transpiration distance of 10 miles or less, and the radius of flushing is no more than 5 miles. If I need to travel further, I will buy an electric bike or motorcycle. But I haven't bought them due to the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

The least successful two things of my life so far are jobs and wife. I could not control these 2 things because I am not the picker, but the picked. If an employer or woman doesn't pick me, I cannot help it. I think my inability to drive is related to my failure in job hunting. Many of the jobs require drivers license, so even if the job duty itself does not require driving, usually when I interview, the interviewer would ask first 'Do you have a driver's license?'

Another lie.  Yet, I fear you may actually believe your own lies.  But your own insecurities on this issue is what keeps egging you on with these discussions.  The thing about these forums is that, you don't like what is posted, you can can choose to ignore it.  Well, it is harder to do if one is insecure.

And then there are your anger issues.  Please don't deny that.  I am not the only one who has born the brunt of that, or has pointed it out.

You have already shown by your thoughts on conscience that there is a Creator.You are just in denial - and using the word 'mythical' to try to make your case look good (since you cannot put up an honest defense).One cannot say that the unverse does not show design.
And one cannot take the conscience seriously if one denies the Creator.  Not if they are consistent.

Any sane person would agree there is a Creator.  And, given that, any sane person would agree that the Creator has the power to do that.
The only question is: would he?  That is debatable.Unfortunately, the description of a sane person does not apply to you, eh?

Yes,your right,but he is an atheist ,hee doesn't want to believe in God,he doesn't have ears to hear the Word Of God and he doesn't have eyes to see His miracles.

Oh, please, I read the other threads, and your interactions with other folks.  I take seriously their input on dealing with you.

Sometimes with you, Proverbs 26:4 apply, sometimes Proverbs 26:5.   

The trick is knowing the difference.  Not always easy.

Of course, you have done this to others, so, nothing to personally take note of here.  I am sorry for you.Is not my fault you don't want to accept God in your life.

I really did laugh out loud.  No one actually laughs out loud when they merely type "lol".

This is also why they dare not offer any solutions, lest Obama choose one and destroy their existence with written or spoken evidence that they had actually agreed with him on anything.  Much easier to simply say everything he does is the worst EVER, without offering a scintilla of a plan of what should be done.
