I'd be offended if you started to hound me with 'Christianity' questions that might or might not suit your fancy according to your own (mis?)understanding which may not be the same as mine. <br /><br />For instance, I've listened to a bible teacher, minister/pastor, more than once, give a synopsis of his interpretation of scriptures that, in my opinion, couldn't have been more wrong or further from the truth. Be careful. It is too easy to fall into the Jim Jones trap; blind followers of the blind.<br /><br />You realize, two or more people can sit down with the same identical bible and both come up with a different interpretation of the same scripture(s). <br /><br />Not saying there is any conflict in the Bible, just saying different people draw different conclusions and meanings. A lot of this is caused by their not having read for themselves other similar scriptures pertaining to the same subject, or had skimmed over the scripture and didn't grasp it's full meaning, or had twisted it's meaning around to make it mean what they wanted it to mean, believing they are right.<br /><br />Just one word can change the entire meaning of a scripture if the reader is not being attentive and careful in what he/she is reading and do not understand the history of the subject matter in question. <br /><br />Just be ever mindful of the scripture; "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."

"Oh poor me, what was I supposed to have done?" or "that's what kids do, sigh, I am powerless to stop it."<br /><br />OT: I thought this might interest you, Peter. Yesterday in church our Pastor was using SA principles. He was speaking about how to recognize false teaching and how a teaching needs to line itself up with the Scripture, etc... Then he said just because someone claims to be a Christian doesn't indicate they are a Christ follower. If you are going to allow someone to mentor or lead you, there are things you should absolutely know. If they say they are a Christian, find out what their personal definition of Christian is. If they claim to each according to the Scriptures, ask what that means to them. They might use it as a loose guide. Do they believe the Scriptures are inspired by God? Remember that you never know exactly what someone means when they use a word or present an idea, so always do some digging and questioning to find out the answers as to their personal definitions. The answers might sometimes surprise you.Daceanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-81062422833569826942015-01-19T08:48:03.082-05:002015-01-19T08:48:03.082-05:00Regarding responsibility for suicide, the Megan Me...Regarding responsibility for suicide, the Megan Meier case set a precedent implying that suicide cannot be blamed on anyone.<br />If that were the case, it would open up a huge can of worms for every suicide by a jilted/offended lover etc.<br />Regarding the 'rape' - rape needs to be properly defined. Many males define rape as using force and violence and not listening to 'no'. The boys thought that is was consensual because there was no protest. This kind of stuff goes on a lot at parties. Educators and others need to define rape whilst drunk as a crime, even if there is no sign of it being non-consensual.<br />Regarding the photo - this was a stupid thing to do and it should have been obvious that it would spread exponentially. All of the kids who passed the photo on are guilty in some way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-44964608162709487462015-01-19T05:40:35.654-05:002015-01-19T05:40:35.654-05:00The most damaging quote: If I felt....
