Your willingness to ignore reasoned evidence in favour of superstition is astounding. We don't really have your kind in this part of the world, which makes your views doubly hard to fathom. > You don't understand, Ian, because you're not looking for the > truth.

I recognize that what you say is "evidence based irrefutable truth" being "all around us" exists ... but what I'm trying to teach you is there's a deception at work within your flesh because of our spiritual death, and that if you come to Jesus and ask forgiveness for your sin, then He will take your sin away, restore you to spirit life, allow you to then know and be guided by His Holy Spirit, which will teach you the difference between evil spirit influence, and truth. It's new life, Ian. It's not more of the same. The old passes away and the new life comes. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

This is probably going to sound radically sexist, however I have always wondered why any female can find the male body "attractive"... Healthy Females seem to be built like exotically beautiful, very expensive cars. Healthy Males seem to resemble heavily used dirty trucks, to me at least. ;^) [...] |

All who are being saved will come out from the world and reject the worldly ways and be saved. The rest will not. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

It kind of sounds like some sort of pre-programmed "procreation" algorithm in a sense. |

Either that or a default setting in Thunderbird. ----- I used go to that gay bar every week for years. I still have some lesbian friends from that timeframe. One of them asked me to re- place the A/C compressor and alternator on her car a few weeks back. There's a part of me that misses it. I remember how amazing I felt up on stage, playing the guitar. I remember the fun we had with all of our worldliness, jokes about this, that, and the other thing. We used to play Jenga at one of the tables there because we were regulars and had a special relationship with the bar owner. There's nothing unappealing about that experience to my flesh. But, it only appeals to my flesh. Since I've been born again, since Jesus took my sin away, and since I've been able to hear and know and follow God's Holy Spirit, I have a new voice which is louder than that one of my flesh. That new voice doesn't want me weak in the world, doesn't want me unable to server His Kingdom here on Earth ("thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven"). This new life I'm teaching you all about ... do not take my word for it. Please, please, please ... go to a local Bible-believing church and ask to speak to born again Christians and ask them for their own testimony. Ask God to guide you before you go, and to lead you to the right people to hear the proper testimony. If you are truly seeking the truth, He will do this for you. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

It's easy to imagine some strongly religious nation with a gorgeous temple (or numerous temples) paid for by devoted taxpayers where the wealthy and powerful rulers of heathen nations are regularly entertained, and thousands of bureaucrats, scholars, and legal experts work in the service of enforcing a complex system of religious laws, some rather sensible and some utterly draconian, and long lists of prohibitions where behavior is scrutinized, analyzed, and punishments enforced by Earthly judges in the service of God's will. and which is otherwise spiritually dead. Judea in 4 BC comes to mind. |
