Over time, It's easy to take the internet for granted--especially when one loses site of the times & memories of life without it.I'm old enough to remember when you had to drive (or worse, get a ride!) to the local library in order to obtain info not found in the usually very-limited supply of books, magazines, and records (sorry, CD's ) within one's own household. Before Google & Yahoo, I had to call the reference desk at my local library. Now I can look up most stuff at will even when the library is closed. The net, if used properly, is and absolutely FABUOUS blessing which, if more people saw it's value, would rush to get onto it. sure, the virsus, porno, & spam are a pain; but the WWW is still very worthwhile as a general resource. |

2 Peter 2:12 clearly acknowleges the use of animals in normal, reasonable, human activity (i.e food, clothes, etc.).Prior to the flood, animals were not eaten; and prior to the fall of Man, animals were not harvested at all, much less for clothing since nobody wore clothes! What's sad is that these pagans in PETA and other such organizations have a very real awareness of and desire for certain aspects of Paradise (be it Eden or Heaven), but refuse to enter in through Christ but by works (Veganism, etc.). Ironically (to vegans, I'm sure!) is that the eating of meat itself is also a type of partaking of Christ (i.e. passover lamb, etc.), whose atonement is vital for one to reach Heaven, typified by the presence of animals not eating each other or being killed and eaten (Isaiah 11:7). |

David Shakespeare's first post sounds like it's right on the money.I only wish he (and many others) would quote Heb 9:27 AND 9:28 together. Latter verse indicates Christ's subsequent righteousness AFTER bearing the sins of the believers--and if He is not judgible at this time (that is, the time after he said "it is finished") then how much less are WE who believe going to be judged after the Gogotha event...our sins having been FULLY paid-for at this time? What's basically most interesting to me about this particular question is that it assumes one answer when there are actualy TWO. When unbelivers die, they cease to accumulate sin, and therefore are (more or less) in "cold-storage"--waiting for THEIR judgement on the last day when they will have to give an account for all their deeds, good and bad. Believers, on the other hand, go to be with Christ at the moment of death, since Christ paid for their sins and imputed His righteousness directly to them. For them Judgement was accomplished at Golgotha. Thus "the last day" will be glorious to the believer, but HIDEOUS to the non-believer. |

Back when I was a kid some worried that the polar caps would melt from heat initially resulting from a massive nuclear exchange with the Russians.Now many are afraid they'll melt because of excess green house gases. What is it with modern society's fixation with the ice caps?...and wasn't the so-called "ozone-hole" also located at one of the poles? Sometimes I think that the surviving cold-war generation, by embracing global warming, is being masochistically nostaligic for all the fear and dred they experienced as a part of their daily lives when they were younger--and the current generation feels "left-out" unless they, too have a "boogyman" of their own, just like their parents did. Of course it could be argued that Nuclear war in the 70's was a much more compelling issue than global warming is today. |
