Yeah, Jesus was trying to get them out of goofy habits like that, but clearly they never got the picture. To be honest, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else or create an undue physical, mental, or emotional burden, I say a person ought to be able to hallow the Sabbath as much as they want...

(I guess we're doin' this. :() It's not so much a sticking point as it is a glaringly loose end that 98+% of Christians refuse to tie up. What about the copious amounts that recount Jesus trying to teach His people how to keep it correctly. Why would He do that if He was getting ready to just...

There's heavy stuff and then there's heavy stuff, and if I haven't lived long enough to tell the difference by now, I'm running out of time to figure it out. ;)

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

You can say that again, Brother.

2 Peter 1 12For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. 13Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, 14knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as...

Would it qualify as hyperbole, figure of speech, maybe?

Roughly, I think so, yes, or at least part of a salutation/introduction. o_O

I expect that a supreme being of the type we discuss here would have a well-designed plan to facilitate such a potential dilemma. On second thought: I think He could just blink or twitch and shut them hormones down without wreckin' anything else, don't you reckon? As an aside: Have you ever...

Well, I guess if one is of the mind that the prohibitions of body markings and cuttings in the old testament are strictly a concern of Judaism, then they will feel justified in whatever they want to do in that regard. So much of what has been socially and religiously acceptable has changed...

I think the thread has pretty much gone sideways now. I've got some heavy stuff going on at home, anyway.

I don't think God ever intended for us to go on populating the planet until there was inadequate space for enjoyable living, do you?

Perhaps we should call down fire from heaven onto him just in case. :rolleyes:

If it helps any: I don't mind at all. I just can't type fast or think organizedly so it takes me forever to reply—even with the off-the-cuff stuff here and there. I'm a mess. Don't you just love long dashes? — — — — — — — lol I'm a nut.

My bad, then. :D:p

Not possible, but at least we know where you're coming from.

Could this possibly be the pot calling the kettle black? -lol
