[QUOTE="mindstorm"]I consider myself a servant, no, a slave to the majesty of God. As such, I am inclined to believe that the term is now always to be considered negative. In the Scriptures themselves servant-hood itself is not to be considered a bad thing and the Christian is called to submit to all men. However, mistreating others, slaves included, is to be denounced with that many of the practices found in American slavery. That stated, the vast majority of the abolition movement in the North and within England was spurned by the conviction from Scripture that people ought to be free to exercise their faith by their own choice. With that comes both freedom of state enforced religion and freedom from slavery. As such, I very much do denounce slavery as it was seen in earlier American history.toast_burner

You seemed to skip over the part where the bible says slave owners are allowed to kill their slaves as long as the death isn't instant

"If a slave owner takes a stick and beats his slave, whether male or female, and the slave dies on the spot, the owner is punished. But if the slave does not die for a day or two, the master is not punished. The loss of his property is punishment enough." Exodus 20,21 (Good news translation)

I seriously doubt it. My friends aren't really into games other than Call of Duty, NBA 2K or Grand Theft Auto so I doubt that they would have a reason to go to a website dedicated to games. LZ71

Apparently you glanced right over my earlier post, which included a picture of giant, like fvcking 10 foot long meteorite that landed in Oregon. There have been literally tens of thousands of meteorites that have landed on the ground, and a sh!tload of them are on display in museums all over the world. I've personally seen, and held dozens of them. Where the hell are you getting this information, you mindless idiot?

So.... you're claiming meteorites don't exist... because only "chunks" of them have been found? I don't believe I have eaten my own words, you're just failing miserably at conveying a point. And for the record, yes, meteors do often come into the atmosphere, and completely dissolve, leaving only dust (if that), but that's a whole different thing. You're asking, "do you believe in meteorites?" The word "meteorite" literally means a meteor that has fallen through the atmosphere, and left a solid piece on the ground. The word exists because the thing exists. If they don't break through and leave a solid piece, they're just meteors.

if God exists, considering that space and time are connected, and God created the universe and everything in it, it would follow that he created time as well.
