Ok, apologies, I may have worded that wrong. But they way that it was presented to me was that he believed that his actions were in acccordance to Gods plan.
I am not saying I am right, just that this is my opinion and that it is quite interesting!
I like this thread! Very much so!
Just my opinion: I think what Hitler did was very bad. I border on Bad and Evil. His actions were not good!
But if I may, please Sunstone, ask a question as part of your thread?
Does anyone know that Hitler was in fact a Christian? And that he based his...
Exactly! I can understand a fully formed baby even as early as three months, maybe less. But can a clump of cells have a soul? Surely not?
Even the argument of the spontaneous abortion or miscarriage is part of the "mothers" plan, what explanation is there for the pregnancies that they...
Well, that is what I am looking for. I want to know what everyone else thinks. Things from the souls of those "cells", to their thoughts on abortion as a form of contraception.
Thank you Sunstone!
Ok, I totally agree with you on that. And this is what I am trying to establish here, is how other people view it.
I dont believe that God has this divine plan for your life and that everything happens according to that plan. I want to know what other people have to say about it. I want to...
I was reading a book recently that touched on this subject.
God forbids murder in the Ten Commandments. Would abortion not be murder?
Personally I think it is, but that is just my opinion. What about spontaneous abortions? These are not planned by any human, but by God. Is he not...
I know, and thank you very much. But I am sure you can vouch for this as much as I do, that it is extremely difficult to leave it behind.
Although, I am trying my best to do just that!
Thank you, for the thread, as well as the encouragement to walk away from that guilt.
:)
:sorry1:
My biggest feeling of guilt also involves my son.
I am a single mother, and when he was 5 months old, i got involved with a man who promised me the world (yes girls, we have all been there!).
Three months later, he hit my son. He hit him three times at 2am in the morning because he...
And I totally agree with you on that point. I am from South Africa. Every year on the anniversary of our hero's birthday, Nelson Mandela, they have a pardoning ceremony. This is when criminals (supposed to be the ones that are not dangerous to society, huh???) are pardoned and released from...
He He!
That is the same as me saying "i wouldnt expect another police officer to have to deal with her next child's dead/burnt body".
Your argument about the anti-death penalty has just been thrown straight out of the window!
You can not be against one form of MURDER (the death penalty) and for...
Thanks for that link James! It was very informative!
But is it safe to assume that the ones that are reduced have changed the word of God? Or are we all just looking at the same thing essentially? And would that mean that the reduced versions are "wrong" or is that also presumtuous of me?
:-)
See? This is why this site is good!!! Never in my life would I have thought of it like that! And it makes complete sense! Because in the same sense, now that I am thinking about it, what relevance does Noahs Ark have to our lives today? And you know what? It has a hell of a lot of...
But is the Old Testament not supposed to be as relevant today as the New Testament is?
If it is not relevant, why do we still have to read it and what purpose does it serve?
:)
If you read the book of Leviticus (which is how I know it), this is where it lays down the rules and regulations for a Christian. Here it will tell you about slaves and things like eating the fat of an animal and marriage, etc.
It is a good read, but this is where I get confused about the...
So if I was to search for the patron saints, say on Google, I would probably find them all and it would have an explanation as to the type of people that would be "connected" to this saint? And that is the way that you would choose your patron saint?
Hey! I am here to learn and as I said, I...
