If some saw god and eyewitness him would it be fair to be asked to believe in that god without seeing him?

And now you have come to Us singly, as We created you the first time, and you have left what We conferred on you behind your backs; and We do not see with you your intercessors whom you claimed to be associates amongst you; it has been severed between you, and that which you claimed has failed you.





[6:95]


God it is Who splits the grain and the date-stone. He brings forth the living from the dead, and is the Bringer-forth of the dead from the living. That is God. How then are you deluded?





[6:96]


He is the Cleaver of the daybreak and He has appointed the night for stillness and the sun and the moon for reckoning. That is the ordaining of the Mighty, the Knowing.





[6:97]


And He it is Who appointed for you the stars that you may guide your course by them amid the darkness of land and sea. Verily We have distinguished the signs for a people who have knowledge.





[6:98]


And He it is Who produced you from a single soul, such that some are established and some are deposited. Verily We have distinguished the signs for a people who understand.





[6:99]


And He it is Who sent down water from the heaven and therewith We bring forth plants of every kind, and therefrom We bring forth verdure, bringing forth from it thick-clustered grain, and from the palm-tree from its pollen spring bunches of dates, bunched up, and gardens of grapes, and olives, and pomegranates, similar, but not alike. Look upon their fruits when they have borne fruit, and their ripening. Surely, in all that are signs for a people who believe.





[6:100]


Yet they ascribe to God as associates the jinn, even though He created them. And they falsely impute to Him sons and daughters without any knowledge. Glory be to Him and exalted be He above what they describe!





[6:101]


The Originator of the heavens and the earth; how should He have a son, when He has no consort, and He created everything, and He has knowledge of all things?





[6:102]


That then is God, your Lord. There is no god but Him, the Creator of all things. So worship Him. And He is Guardian over all things.





[6:103]


Vision cannot attain Him, but He attains [all] vision. And He is the Subtle, the Aware.





[6:104]


Clear proofs have come to you from your Lord; whoever perceives, then it is for his own good; and whoever is blind, then it will be to his own hurt. And I am not a keeper over you.





[6:105]


And so, We dispense the signs, and that they may say, 'You have studied with someone', and that We may make it clear for a people who have knowledge.





[6:106]


Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord. There is no god but Him; and turn away from the idolaters.





[6:107]


Had God willed, they would not have been idolaters; and We have not set you as a keeper over them; nor are you a guardian over them.





[6:108]


Do not revile those whom they call upon, besides God, lest they then revile God out of spite, through ignorance. So, We have adorned for every community their deeds; then to their Lord they shall return, and He will tell them what they used to do.





[6:109]


They have sworn by God the most earnest oaths that if there came to them a sign, they will believe in it. Say, 'Signs are only with God'. But what will make you realise? Truly, when they come, they will not believe.





[6:110]


And We shall confound their hearts and their eyes; just as they did not believe in it the first time; and We shall leave them in their insolence, wandering blindly.

If some saw god and eyewitness him would it be fair to be asked to believe in that god without seeing him?
Allah's swt. signs are enough for me like I have seen Him, innsha'Allah. Also it is in my subconscious, that I had made an oath to be worshipper of Him alone, during my Soul shaped zone of life span (Aalim al-arwah).





Thanks brother.

extraordinary claims require extraordinary EVIDENCE!





eye witness is not used much because it's rarely right.
Reply:You do not need to see God to Believe He is there. Seeing is not believing. Believing is seeing.
Reply:I believe it is fair, and I did not even read your rant. All I needed to see was the question.
Reply:No. It sounds like rantings from some delusional guy living in a cave.














There is no god, never was, never will be.





There will be peace without religion.
Reply:Yes I believe it is fair, because Jesus says that we will be blessed if we believe even though we can not see. God is good. He never breaks his promises to any one. He loves the whole world even though we put him to death for it. Thankfully he rose again and he is and forever will be the living savior. Mine and yours alike.
Reply:If someone have seen G-d, then it is not G-d.


Philiosophy teaches that the First Cause lacks in material form bcoz the Prime cause isn't part of the Universe.


Everything is universe but the Prime Cause.


Jesus' body isn't G-d either, but rather it is a puppet or the so called incarnate of the First Cause.
Reply:If i believe that pigs can fly, that means I see flying pigs. Does that not make me sound delirious?
Reply:I believe it was the God Yahweh Himself who made the law in The Laws of Moses that says for a conviction to be considered true in a court of law. There must be three eye witnesses for the story to be true. How many eye witnesses claimed they saw Jesus perform miracles only God Himself could make? Thousands? I guess it would be fair to expect the rest of mankind to believe on the testimony of all these eye witnesses with out us being there.
Reply:No. Please see David Hume's Enquiry: On Miracles:





http://www.soci.niu.edu/~phildept/Dye/Hu...





"We entertain a suspicion concerning any matter of fact, when the witnesses contradict each other; when they are but few, or of a doubtful character; when they have an interest in what they affirm; when they deliver their testimony with hesitation, or on the contrary, with too violent asseverations. There are many other particulars of the same kind, which may diminish or destroy the force of any argument, derived from human testimony. Suppose, for instance, that the fact, which the testimony endeavours to establish, partakes of the extraordinary and the marvellous; in that case, the evidence, resulting from the testimony, admits of a diminution, greater or less, in proportion as the fact is more or less unusual."





"The plain consequence is (and it is a general maxim worthy of our attention), `That no testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous, than the fact, which it endeavours to establish' .. When anyone tells me, that he saw a dead man restored to life, I immediately consider with myself, whether it be more probable, that this person should either deceive or be deceived, or that the fact, which he relates, should really have happened. I weigh the one miracle against the other; and according to the superiority, which I discover, I pronounce my decision, and always reject the greater miracle. "

I just noticed brown pigmentation spots on my face.?

Will it be effective if i eat natural foods which are rich in anti-oxidants such as kiwi fruits and pomegranates a few times a week to reduce these spots?





How do you use green tea for this?





Is there anything else that i can do?

I just noticed brown pigmentation spots on my face.?
what you just said is an effective prevention, but cannot take awway existing pigmentation.





Use extra strength bleaching cream and sunblock. avoid excessive sun exposure. you can also try the microdermabrasion or diamond peel. it literally erases the spots after a few sessions.

Im hungry!!?

does anyone have any fast recipes that do not call for some weird ingredient no one has?? evry time i go find one it calls for something weird like pomegranates or tofu or something.

Im hungry!!?
If it's just a snack, I like what I call a quick and dirty quesadilla. Just put cheddar on a tortilla, maybe some cumin, and nuke. Then fold over and eat.





Actually I think I'll have one right now...
Reply:hi Hungry, nice to meet you! :) lol!!
Reply:I just had myself a grilled chicken salad - all u need is chicken, lettuce, carrots, shredded cheese (if u eat it), and tomatoes. Then drizzle your fave dressing on top. I like Ranch but sometimes I make an easy vinagrette using 2 tsps lemon juice, 1 tsp mustard and 1/4 cup or so of olive oil. Just wisk the first 2 ingredients together to combine and then drizzle in the olive oil. I like to season my vinagrette w/ a lil salt and pepper.

Making clothes smell fresh?

I have heard pomegranates in your draw makes your clothes smell really good. Can anyone confirm this?

Making clothes smell fresh?
I put dryer sheets in mine works fine. Change them often..:)
Reply:I haven't heard anything about pomegranates keeping your clothes fresh. I would think they would draw fruit flys to your drawers. Instead of going that route, why not put a fabric softner sheet in your drawer? They also make bags of cedar that work well to keep your dresser and your clothes smelling fresh. I use the Downy Wrinkle Release spray before I fold/hang my clothes. It keeps me from having to iron and keeps my clothes fresh! Good Luck!!
Reply:Put scented soap in your drawers, it makes your clothes smell lovely and fresh
Reply:Not sure, but get some dried lavender, a tissue, and some string. Put the dried lavender into a tissue, tie the tissue into a ball, securing with the string. Place this in your drawer(s) and this will aid in keeping your clothes smelling fresh.
Reply:Hang them outside on a clothes line, or just drape them over a chair .Let the fresh air get at them.
Reply:the fabric softner sheets u put indryer and spray starch for when you iron them and some really fresh smelling detergent
Reply:its not true all you have to do is spray perfume or colongne all over your clothes and the next day it will smell fresh and good
Reply:i'm not a mom, i dont know anything bout that, ;) good luck tho
Reply:That is ridiculous. Febreze makes your clothes smell good. Spray some frebreze on your clothes and shut the draw. The next time you go in the draw they will still smell good.
Reply:no but fereeze works the best
Reply:I haven't tried it but i wouldn't doubt it. Promegranate scented candles makes my room smell great!
Reply:um.. i wouldn't put fresh fruits in your drawers, it may attrack bugs or start rotten and create a not so pleasant smell.





I would use febreeze (the one in the spray bottle, not the can type bottle) and spray that in your drawers and/or closets





or use fabric softner sheets, i recommend bounce, they smell strong at first but after you put them in the dryer your clothes will smell nice and fresh. or you could put it in your drawers for pretty much the same affect.


:)
Reply:use laundry sheets place one in all your drawers so your clothes always smell fresh
Reply:only if you like fruit flies and other bugs...





Try hanging them outside in a breeze, away from the sun (sun fades everything).


Put them in a dryer for a few mins (15 or so) with a dryer sheet (providing the clothes can be put in the dryer.)


try keeping all your clothes clean and in clean drawers (thats DRAWERS...not draw).
Reply:I use concentrate washing powder and heaps of it, and i use the fabric softener that coincides with it so it all smells really nice. once they are dry i use frebreeze and i also use perfumes and stuuff. And wash your clothes after you have worn them once, thats what i do.
Reply:it probably does. but i would just use febreeze

Is it bad if I eatpomogranate seeds?

I like eating pomegranates but spitting out the seeds is really annoying because they're so small. Someone recently told me that it's okay to chew and eat them but my sister insists that it's bad for my digestive system or something.

"And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.


3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!


4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?


5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

Reply:Maybe just an allegory:

Reply:This was a rebellious and sinful generation


indeed, these who were with Moses and


Aaron. Deut. 32:5-


“ They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.”


It is no wonder that


Moses and Aaron sought the counsel of the


Lord-


“.Num. 20:6,76 And Moses and Aaron went


from the presence of the assembly unto the door


of the tabernacle of the congregation,


and they fell upon their faces:


and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.


7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly


together, thou, and Aaron thy brother,


and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes;


and it shall give forth his water,


and thou shalt bring forth to them water


out of the rock:


so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts


drink.


9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD,


as he commanded him”





Comparing scripture with scripture,we come


upon some very interesting observations;





a) Christ is represented as THE ROCK;


Deu.32:3,4-


“3 Because I will publish the name


of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.


4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways


are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity,


just and right is he.”


and also;


1 Cor. 10:1-41- “ Moreover, brethren, I would not


that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers


were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;


2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud


and in the sea;


3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;


4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink:


for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:


and that Rock was Christ.”


b) The Christ is also identified as bringing


forth the water (which comes forth from


the ROCK). John 4:13-14.





“13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:


14 But whosoever drinketh of the water


that I shall give him shall never thirst;


but the water that I shall give him


shall be in him a well of water springing up


into everlasting life.”





c) He is also THE ROD; Isa. 11:1-4


"1 And there


shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,


and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:


2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him,


the spirit of wisdom and understanding,


the spirit of counsel and might,


the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;


3 And shall make him of quick understanding


in the fear of the LORD:


and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,


neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:


4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor,


and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth:


and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth,


and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked."





The Gospel in these verses.





By examination we can observe the forshadowing of the sacrifice of our saviour here,


because, as I stated at the start, this congra-


gation was a rebellious lot. Therefore they needed anatonement for their rebellion along with relief from their thirst;


The Lord, out of his grace and mercy sup-


plied them with water, commanding Moses to speak and strike the rock Num 20:8;





“… and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes;


and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt


bring forth to them water out of the rock:


so thou shalt give the congregation


and their beasts drink.”





Exodus 17:5,6 5


“ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on


before the people, and take with thee


of the elders of Israel; and thy rod,


wherewith thou smotest the river,


take in thine hand, and go.


6 Behold, I will stand before thee


there upon the rock in Horeb;


and thou shalt smite the rock,


and there shall come water out of it,


that the people may drink.


And Moses did so in the sight


of the elders of Israel.


(notice He said to smite


[not twice]). Therefore the people did not


perish,


but lived....(Jn.3:16)


“ For God so loved the world,


that he gave his only begotten Son,


that whosoever believeth in him


should not perish, but have everlasting life.”


There’s the Gospel.





A Warning!


Some people believe that Moses sinned


and as a result, God wouldn't allow him to


enter the Promised Land because


God only told him to speak to the rock. They must be in error, for by comparing scripture with scripture, we see


he told Moses both. Num.20:3/Exod. 17:3-7.





The fault was that Moses struck the rock


TWICE, not just once...adding unto the


word of God and not sanctifing The Lord


before the congregation.


Deut 32:48-51


“ And the LORD spake unto Moses


that selfsame day, saying,


49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim,


unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab,


that is over against Jericho;


and behold the land of Canaan, which I give


unto the children of Israel for a possession:


50 And die in the mount whither thou goest up,


and be gathered unto thy people;


as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor,


and was gathered unto his people:


51 Because ye trespassed against me


among the children of Israel at the waters


of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin;


because ye sanctified me not


in the midst of the children of Israel.





In the book of Hebrews, there is a verse


that often puzzles believers; Heb.6:1-6


“ Therefore leaving the principles


of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection;


not laying again the foundation


of repentance from dead works,


and of faith toward God,


2 Of the doctrine of baptisms,


and of laying on of hands,


and of resurrection of the dead,


and of eternal judgment.


3 And this will we do, if God permit.


4 For it is impossible for those


who were once enlightened,


and have tasted of the heavenly gift,


and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,


5 And have tasted the good word of God,


and the powers of the world to come,


6 If they shall fall away,


to renew them again unto repentance;


seeing they crucify to themselves


the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.





What it is stating is that one who has


tasted of the goodness of the Lord,


and of his re-newing of his spirit should con-


tinue in that faith and mature. When we sin


we are to repent. It is not even feasible


that we seek to be "saved again" or baptised again.., or anything such.......that would be an act of disbelief.....stating in our very actions that Christ's work was inadequite.


....Thus the signicance of the error refered


to in the striking of the rock...twice.


In conclusion,


Deut.8:15


11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God,


in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments,


and his statutes, which I command thee this day:


12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full,


and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;


13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply,


and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied,


and all that thou hast is multiplied;


14 Then thine heart be lifted up,


and thou forget the LORD thy God,


which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt,


from the house of bondage;


15 Who led thee through that great


and terrible wilderness,


wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions,


and drought, where there was no water;


who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;





Isa.12:33 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water


out of the wells of salvation.





And again;….Amos 8:3


11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD,


that I will send a famine in the land,


not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,


but of hearing the words of the LORD:

X'ian Girls! If you have attractive brothers,Dont follow ur Gospel?

Song of Solomon 8:10 "Dear brothers, I'm a walled-in virgin still, but my breasts are full— And when my lover sees me, he knows he'll soon be satisfied."





Song of Songs 4:9 "You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace."





Song of Songs 8:1-3 "If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother's breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me. I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house-- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink [i.e., her vagina's semen!], the nectar of my pomegranates. His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me." She wished if he were her biological brother so she can take him home without a secret and there he can have sex with her all the time!

X'ian Girls! If you have attractive brothers,Dont follow ur Gospel?
Two things:


1. Song of Solomon (AKA Song of Songs) is in the OLD Testament. It was written FOR Jews, by a Jew.


2. The word "sister" is also used figuratively many times in the Bible. One time it's used is in Romans 16:1.

Where is the following passage taken from?

"I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had turned and was gone. My heart leaped up when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him. I called him, but he gave me no answer. If you find my beloved, tell him this: I am lovesick. I am my beloved, and his desire is toward me. Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards, let us see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms are open, and whether the pomegranates are in bloom. There will I give you my love. Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, passion as cruel as the grave. The flames of love are flames of fire, a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it. Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains."

Where is the following passage taken from?
The Song of Solomon or Song of Songs (Hebrew title שיר השירים, Shir ha-Shirim) is a book of the Hebrew Bible—Tanakh or Old Testament—one of the five megillot. It is also sometimes called by its title in the Vulgate, Canticum Canticorum, the "Canticle of Canticles." The title is later than the text. The book consists of a cycle of poems about erotic love, largely in the form of a dialogue between a bridegroom and a bride.

Antioxidants bind to something called free radicals. They decrease you chance of getting certain types of cancer. Pomegranates and blueberries are high in antioxidants, but all fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants.

Why Bible is discussing womens private parts so openly?

Some Jews and Christians claim that the praised graphical pornography in the Bible is actually a conversation between a husband and his wife. They know well that claiming otherwise would bring total shame to the gospel of porn, because of the (literally) x-rated and low-life graphical pornography. There is ample evidence that prove their claim to be bogus and desperate. Let us look at this example from the many below:





Song of Songs 8:1-3 "If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother's breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me. I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house-- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink [i.e., her vagina's semen!], the nectar of my pomegranates. His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me."





She wished if he was her brother so that she wouldn't have to take him home in secret. Now if he was truly her husband, then what would prompt her to wish that he was her brother? Were husbands back then not allowed to live with their wives? If so, how did they then consummate and have children and raise generations and societies? Were they allowed to live with each others for a while?





The obvious answer, that only the ashamed people from the Jews and Christians would deny, is that the "


Her sexy breasts are quite "satisfying":





Let us look at Song of Solomon 8:10 "Dear brothers, I'm a walled-in virgin still, but my breasts are full— And when my lover sees me, he knows he'll soon be satisfied."





She is a virgin with full swelling breasts. When her lover meets her, he will be satisfied from those swelling breasts! Obviously, she is referring to licking, sucking and other pornographic things that I can't mention here. Believe me this verse is not talking about them worshiping GOD Almighty together when they meet!! It is clearly and indisputably referring to graphic sex that involves her swelling breasts and other things such as intercourse.








Let us look at Song of Songs 4:5 "Your two breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies."





Let us look at Song of Songs 1:13 "My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts."





Praising the bed that they had sex on: Let us look at Song of Songs 1:16 "How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant"





Let us look at Song of Songs 1:2-4 "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you! Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love (i.e., semen) more than wine. How right they are to adore you!" I don't think this would be appropriate for a kid under 18 to read. Also, I don't think it is appropriate to have such open sexuality in a divine book anyway.





His right arm sexually feeling her body: Let us look at Song of Songs 2:6 "His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me."


Fantasizing about a girl he calls his "sister". Her vagina tastes like wine for him. And they had sex all night long. After he satisfied her really good, she wished if he were her brother (her biological brother nursed by her "mother's breast" as she said) so she doesn't have to take him home secretly:





Note: Even though she may not be his biological sister, but calling her a "sister" in a pornographic and sick situation as shown in details below is not proper, and may suggest that the sick pervert would fantasize about his biological sister if he had one.





Let us look at Song of Songs 4:9 "You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace." Fantasizing about his sister? at least he shows in this verse that he would!.





Let us look at Song of Songs 4:10 "How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!" Making love to his own sister? "pleasing is your love (making???) than wine"?





Let us look at Song of Songs 4:12 "You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain."











Showing off her breasts and vagina to him:





Sleeping with his sister: Let us look at Song of Songs 5:4 "I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My lover is knocking: 'Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.' I have taken off my robe (i.e., she showed his breasts and vagina to him. Underwears and bras didn't exist back then!) must I put it on again? I have washed my feet, must I soil them again? My lover thrust his hand through the latch-opening; my heart began to pound for him." What a disgusting way for someone to talk so pervertly about his sister and/or about her brother like that!!





Let us look at Song of Songs 5:8 "O daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you-- if you find my lover, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love." Teaching women to be sexually too open.











His sister's vagina tastes like "wine":





"How beautiful your sandaled feet, O prince's daughter! Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of a craftsman's hands. Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies. Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbi.


.......


I said 'I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.' May your breasts be like the clusters of the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples, and your mouth like the best wine. (The NIV Bible, Song of Songs 7:1-4, 8-9)"





According to the documentary film "Sex in the Bible" on A%26amp;E TV Station, the Hebrew translation to "Your naval" is referring to the woman's VAGINA.

Reply:Dude, do your research, you're taking junk outta context - 'Sister' and 'brother' are terms used in the church to reffer to anyone Christian i.e. a Child of God - I have, in Church, heard husbands and wives reffer to each other in prayer as 'Sister' or 'Brother' Report It

I mean admittedly some of the sibling stuff seems a bit particular, but I think your not even trying to see it in a pristine way.





just like how some people can't distinguish between pornography and nude art, (though, admittedly sometimes its harder to distinguish than others) it seems like your taking it with a "sex is dirty" mindset, rather than seeing it as a potentially beautiful thing.





also remember society was a bit different then. I mean back then seeing your home city destroyed was enough for people to think that they were the only ones left on the world, and that it was an appropriate thing to get your father drunk so he'd get you pregnant and you could repopulate the world.

Reply:A woman's naked body is not a thing of shame. God created her. Plus sex is a very important and very sacred part of marriage. God cared enough about that aspect of our life that He allowed it to be addressed. He didn't want us to feel ashamed of a beautiful and holy thing.





I think "navel" to "vagina" is a bit of a stretch.
Reply:What's the problem with pornography? Men have penises, and women have breasts and vaginas, we all know we have them, women know what men have, men know what women have. If you ask me it's perverted to try and sweep it under the rug and pretend we don't have them, to pretend we're something different than what we are. That's the definition of "perverted", pretty much.

Try to get a small meal every 3-4 hours. Eat until you are not hungry, and do it again in 3-4 hours.

After trying for 10 years. I finally lost 150+ lbs (12 stone) and kept it off for over 4 years now. I am now in amazing health, all around, not just thinner.





I did it without medicine, workouts, religion, going hungry or hating my food and without an operation or secret formula. I had tried counting: calories; carbs; fat; etc. I had tried jogging, swimming, weights, aerobics, crazy medicines and starving! But nothing ever worked well or lasted very long.





I also had Hypertension, High Blood Pressure, Chronic Asthma, vision and hearing loss. constant colds and ills, annual flu or pneumonia and more. I was approved for bypass surgery and taking usually between 16 and 20 pills a day.

Reply:I'm not sure if this really indicates incest. It sounds more like wanting her love to be of the same tribe. People were not allowed to court or marry outside of their groups during this time. I think brother is used more as belonging to the group not so much a biological brother. If you want real incest in the bible check out the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. After the towns are destroyed Lot, his wife, and two daughters flee. The wife turns back to look and is turned into a pillar of salt. Lot and his daughters hide in the mountains. Believing that the world has been destroyed the daughters get Lot drunk and seduce him in order to reproduce.

Do the following verses tell you anything about God's view of marriage? If so... what??

Ephesians 5:31-33


"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound mystery - but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.





Song of Solomon 7:10-13


I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me. Come, my lover, let us go to the countryside, let us spend the night in the villages. Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom - there I will give you my love. The mandrakes send out their fragrance, and at our door is every delicacy, both new and old, that I have stored up for you, my lover.





Ephesians 5:22-23


Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

-THis means When you marry...the husband and wife come together, and his body is not only owned by him and God, its now owened by the wife, same for the husband. honor your wife, and wives respect husband. -





Song of Solomon 7:10-13


I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me. Come, my lover, let us go to the countryside, let us spend the night in the villages. Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom - there I will give you my love. The mandrakes send out their fragrance, and at our door is every delicacy, both new and old, that I have stored up for you, my lover.





-This is the sexual/romance between marriage couple.-





Ephesians 5:22-23


Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.





-Husbands are suppose to be the head...and make things Godly. Put God first. Hes suppose to be the one praying, taking wife to church. We are to submit to that, and respect that-

And the song of solomon verse you quote says lover not husband or wife.
Reply:Yes a marriage is suppose to be between a man and woman God makes it perfectly clear. And when you say I do it isn't ment ot be taken lightly. You are to honor and respect your partner and keep your selfs only to one another. Please know in your heart it is Gods way. It is ok to say what you think and disscuss things together but in the end what ever the husband decides is how it should be. God give us a mind to use and he doesn't want us to use it to do bad only good. Hope this helps. In Christ Love

What are these insect seed pods inside the leaves of my pecan tree?!?!?

Inside the leaves, grown/created through the leaf of this Texas pecan tree are small green seed pods the size of dimes that look like tiny fruits connected to and growing straight through the membranes of the leaves. They look like tiny pomegranates but inside there are dozens and dozens of tiny insects with wings that look a bit like flies. Please, what on earth are these things and how do we get rid of them??

What are these insect seed pods inside the leaves of my pecan tree?!?!?
It sounds like you might have phylloxera (Pecan bugs is what my Grandpa always called them) Once the "galls" appear on the leaves, it's too late to spray for the season, but you can use an insecticide next season before they appear.





They look bad, but usually no lasting harm is done to the tree -although you'll need to keep an eye on it and spray it next year..


If the tree isn't treated next year, the infestation can get worse and you can end up losing branches ( or possibly the whole tree) - so you need to keep on top of it..





The things is, you won't know if the infestation is there again until the galls appear, and then it's too late to spray for the year, so call your local ag department or nursery and see if they can possibly identify it for you , and recommend a spray or treatment for next year.





I hope this helps...

What fruits or vegetables are good as fruit bowl decorations?

Received a fruit bowl as a present to be a center piece on my table. It comes with some fake fruit which looks terrible. What kind of fruit/vegetables would be acceptable as a centerpiece and would last a while if sitting out? Probably not bananas - they would go bad within days. Onions? Pomegranates?

Why has the US been Shipping Muslim Extremist Schoolbooks into Afghanistan...for 20 Years?

The Jihad Schoolbook Scandal...





Why has the US been Shipping Muslim Extremist Schoolbooks into Afghanistan...for 20 Years?





And why is President Bush hiding it?





By Jared Israel


[Posted 9 April 2002]





======================================...





Have you heard about the Afghan Jihad schoolbook scandal?





Or perhaps I should say, "Have you heard about the Afghan Jihad schoolbook scandal that's waiting to happen?"





Because it has been almost unreported in the Western media that the US government shipped, and continues to ship, millions of Islamist textbooks into Afghanistan. (Islamist





Only one English-speaking newspaper we could find has investigated this issue: the Washington Post. The story appeared March 23rd. (1)





Washington Post investigators report that during the past twenty years the US has spent millions of dollars producing fanatical schoolbooks, which were then distributed in Afghanistan.





"The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then [i.e., since the violent destruction of the Afghan secular government in the early 1990s] as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books..." -- Washington Post, 23 March 2002 (1)





According to the Post the U.S. is now "...wrestling with the unintended consequences of its successful strategy of stirring Islamic fervor to fight communism."





So the books made up the core curriculum in Afghan schools. And what were the unintended consequences? The Post reports that according to unnamed officials the schoolbooks "steeped a generation in [Islamist] violence."





How could this result have been unintended? Did they expect that giving fundamentalist schoolbooks to schoolchildren would make them moderate Muslims?





=============





Let's be reasonable





=============





Nobody with normal intelligence could expect to distribute millions of violent Islamist schoolbooks without influencing school children towards violent Islamism. Therefore one would assume that the unnamed US officials who, we are told, are distressed at these "unintended consequences" must previously have been unaware of the Islamist content of the schoolbooks.





But surely someone was aware. The US government can't write, edit, print and ship millions of violent, Muslim fundamentalist primers into Afghanistan without high officials in the US government approving those primers.





So if the books weren't supposed to be Islamist, that is if their fanatical content contradicted US policy in Afghanistan, shouldn't the mass media and top politicians, such as President George Bush, now be calling for an investigation? Shouldn't they be demanding to know the identity of the official or officials who subverted the intended US policy by flooding Afghanistan with jihad primers?





Indeed, considering the disastrous consequences, shouldn't US officials and the media be questioning the very practice of violating the sovereignty of other countries by distributing millions of Islamic fundamentalist schoolbooks?





Yet using the media search engine, Lexis-Nexis, we could find no evidence that any mainstream Western newspaper, other than the Washington Post, nor any TV station or government leader ever questioned, let alone denounced, the export of millions of Islamist schoolbooks to Afghanistan.





Quite the contrary.





For example here's what the Boston Globe wrote in an article about the obstacles to education in Afghanistan, a year after the US invasion:





"The obstacles to accomplishing that goal are enormous. What few schools impoverished Afghanistan once had - about 2,000 - are now all virtually destroyed, pummeled by gunfire or turned into refugee camps. Teachers here have not been paid for months, even years. Those schoolbooks that still exist are pro-Taliban screeds and deemed unusable.


-- Elizabeth Neuffer in the Boston Globe, March 17, 2002 (1A)





The article implies that the unusable textbooks were produced by and for the Taliban - "pro-Taliban screeds." The author, Elizabeth Neuffer, is the Globe's UN Bureau Chief. Surely she must know that the textbooks in question were made in USA and that the US is continuing to ship Islamist textbooks into Afghanistan. Instead of exposing the scandal that the US promotes Muslim fanaticism in Afghanistan, she misrepresents the books and misleads her readers.





Other newspapers spun more elaborate lies. Here is the Daily Telegraph from Sydney, Australia:





[Daily Telegraph Excerpt starts here]





"AFGHAN children ran, skipped and dawdled to their classrooms like pupils everywhere yesterday for the start of a new school year -- with girls and women teachers back in class and subjects like math replacing the Islamic dogma of the Taliban.





"In a symbolic break from a war-scarred past, children opened new textbooks written by Afghan scholars based at universities in the US.





"There are even pictures of people -- images banned by the fundamentalist Taliban."


- The Daily Telegraph (Sydney), March 25, 2002 (1B)





[Daily Telegraph Excerpt ends here]





By beginning the article with the irrelevant but cheery image - "Afghan children ran, skipped and dawdled...[etc]." - the Telegraph prepares us for an upbeat news experience. We are not disappointed. We are told that in the new textbooks:





"There are even pictures of people -- images banned by the fundamentalist Taliban."





Again we get the impression that the Taliban were responsible for the bad old texts but due to the US invasion "children opened new textbooks...".





Unfortunately, as the Washington Post investigators reported:





"Even the Taliban used the American-produced books, though the radical movement scratched out human faces in keeping with its strict fundamentalist code." -- Washington Post, March 23, 2002





Other than their objections to the human face, the Taliban were perfectly happy with the US-produced primers.





As if presenting evidence of a sea change, the Telegraph tells that now Afghan children have schoolbooks "written by Afghan scholars based at universities in the US."





Similarly, an article five weeks earlier in the Omaha World-Herald declares that, "Afghanistan stands at least a chance of hauling a modern, healthy society up out of the ashes of war and oppression," partly because University of Nebraska at Omaha "officials and staffers" will be "cranking up their presses in neighboring Pakistan" to churn out schoolbooks, all funded by "a $ 6.5 million grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development [AID]." (1C)





Neither newspaper mentions that the bad *old* schoolbooks "were developed in the early 1980s under an AID grant to the University of Nebraska-Omaha and its Center for Afghanistan Studies." -- Washington Post, March 23, 2002)





What about the US government? Have any US congressmen demanded an investigation to find out who in the US government was involved in the production of jihad primers that "steeped a generation in [Islamist] violence"?





No they have not.





=====================





Speaking of forked tongues...





=====================





What about George Walker Bush?





You may recall that George and Laura Bush have made passionate speeches denouncing Islamic fundamentalism. At first Mr. Bush told us we needed to attack Afghanistan in order to stop Mr. bin Laden. But later on he and Laura Bush told us we were fighting to crush the vicious fundamentalists.





Has George Bush said anything about the textbooks?





Yes, Mr. Bush talked about the jihad primers in a March 16th radio broadcast. He held nothing back:





"And before the end of the year, we'll have sent almost 10 million of them [that is, new textbooks] to the children of Afghanistan. These textbooks will teach tolerance and respect for human dignity *instead of indoctrinating students with fanaticism and bigotry*." -- My emphasis - Radio Broadcast, March 16, 2002 (1D)





Note the phrase, "instead of indoctrinating students with fanaticism and bigotry."





So according to Bush, Afghan school children won't have to contend with bad schoolbooks anymore because finally the US has taken charge, replacing those other guys, those evil educators who published textbooks "indoctrinating students with fanaticism and bigotry."





The amazing thing is not only that he tells such total lies but that he delivers them with such righteous indignation.





What about the new textbooks? Will they "teach tolerance and respect for human dignity" as Honest George promises?





To be precise (which may be unwise in today's world) how will the new textbooks that George Bush Junior is shipping into Afghanistan differ from the old ones? You know, those old books that were also designed at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and paid for by the US government agency, AID? You know, those old, un-American books that George Bush Junior attacked for "indoctrinating students with fanaticism and bigotry"? Those terrible old books that were shipped into Afghanistan by Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan and George Bush Senior?





Here's the Washington Post again:





"On Feb. 4, [Chris Brown, head of book revision for AID's Central Asia Task Force] arrived in Peshawar, the Pakistani border town in which the textbooks were to be printed, to oversee hasty revisions to the printing plates. Ten Afghan educators labored night and day, scrambling to replace rough drawings of weapons with sketches of pomegranates and oranges, Brown said."] - My emphasis, Washington Post, March 23, 2002





So it appears that the only change is that some violent pictures have been removed from the printing plates and some fruit has been added. There is no indication that the texts have been changed.





What does a non-fundamentalist Afghan educator think about the new schoolbooks?





"'The pictures [in the old schoolbooks] are horrendous to school students, *but the texts are even much worse,'* said Ahmad Fahim Hakim, an Afghan educator who is a program coordinator for Cooperation for Peace and Unity, a Pakistan-based nonprofit.'"


-- (My emphasis, Washington Post, March 23, 2002)





So the Untied States government is right now shipping into Afghanistan millions of Islamic Fundamentalist schoolbooks whose texts, according to a non-Fundamentalist Afghan educator, are not just "horrendous," they are "much worse."





Is it possible that this is all a terrible mistake? That Mr. Bush and US AID just don't know what's in the new schoolbooks?





Apparently not.





According to the Washington Post, the "White House defends the religious content" of the schoolbooks. And as for US AID, the Agency for International Development, which pays for the books:





'It's not AID's policy to support religious instruction,' Stratos said. 'But we went ahead with this project because the primary purpose . . . is to educate children, which is predominantly a secular activity.'"


(-- Washington Post, March 23, 2002)





So because education is predominantly secular it's OK for the schoolbooks to be entirely fundamentalist. Likewise, since marriage is predominantly monogamous it's OK to cheat. And since banks are predominantly places where people deposit money, it's OK to rob a bank.





Got it?





Mr. Bush describes the texts of the old books as "indoctrinating students with fanaticism and bigotry." But note, having been republished in the new books, these exact same texts have been reborn. Now they are "religious instruction" (says US AID) and "religious content" (says the White House). It's a modern miracle.





Reading these news reports and statements one might feel a certain sympathy for citizens of the US and allied countries, required to hold in their minds at one time a) the conviction that Mr. Bush is sincerely fighting Islamic fundamentalism in Afghanistan and b) the knowledge that the US is spending millions of dollars to indoctrinate Afghan school children with Islamic fundamentalism.





Not to worry. This problem has been solved by the US and allied mass media, which, with the exception of the Washington Post, have never told their readers and viewers who it was that produced the old books or what it is that's in the new ones.





Even the Washington Post has pulled its punches. For example, consider the headline of the March 23rd article, the only one that deals critically with the jihad primers.





Here's the headline. (Headlines are quite important because with any given article, most people only read the headline.)





"From U.S., the ABC's of Jihad; Violent Soviet-Era Textbooks Complicate Afghan Education Efforts."





"Violent Soviet-Era textbooks." This phrase doesn't even make it clear that the books were shipped in by the US government! They could have been hateful *Russian* books.





And the phrase, "Complicate Afghan Education Efforts" sounds like the books are hindering current US attempts at effecting progressive change. Nobody would guess from this headline that US AID has been forcing Islamic fundamentalist texts on Afghan kids for 20 years or that they're still importing the same texts today, minus the guns and with more fruit.





In the body of the article the Post asserts without evidence that steeping "a generation in [Islamist] violence" was an "unintended consequence" of giving Afghan children violent Islamist schoolbooks.





"Unintended consequence" is fast becoming the US Establishment's favorite excuse for the many disasters of its foreign policy. "We didn't know. We weren't prepared. We used old maps. We didn't see the train. We thought there were tanks in the refugee column. Who could have expected this to happen?" and on and on.





But does the case of the Islamist textbooks involve unintended consequences? Doesn't it in fact appear to be deliberate policy?





In a forthcoming article we will examine other 'unintended consequences' of US policy in Afghanistan.





-- Jared Israel

Why has the US been Shipping Muslim Extremist Schoolbooks into Afghanistan...for 20 Years?
It could be just a case of incompetence, and other priorities.





This article says that the books were to be rewritten in 2002; and maybe they were. I couldn't find anything more recent.

X-Rated Porn In the Bible!?

You Christians boast this is God's word? Jesus would be embarassed.





Song of Songs 8:1-3 "If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother's breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me. I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house-- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink [i.e., her vagina's semen!], the nectar of my pomegranates. His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me."

X-Rated Porn In the Bible!?

And to the rest of the world who don't understand the song of songs from 1 to 8.





Song of Songs





is an allegorical interpretation justified its inclusion in the Biblical canon.


As according to Jewish tradition in the Midrash %26amp; the Targum, it is an allegory of God's love for the Children of Israel. In Christian tradition that began with Origen.





It is allegory for the relationship of Christ and the Church or Christ and the individual believer (see the Sermons on the Song of Songs by Bernard of Clairvaux).





This type of allegorical interpretation was applied later to even passing details in parables of Jesus. It is also heavily used in Sufi poetry.





How about this following verse in the Quran





Sex in the Quran





Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will--2:223





Virgins await those who enter paradise. 2:25





It's OK to have sex with your wives on the night of the fast. 2:187





Have sex with your women whenever, however, and as often as you like. 2:223


Vigins await those who enter paradise. 4:57

But the single-minded slaves of Allah will enjoy a Garden filled with lovely-eyed virgins. 37:40-48





Female companions await those who enter the Gardens of Eden on the Day of Reckoning. 38:52





Allah will reward faithful Muslims after they die with "fair ones with wide, lovely eyes." 44:54





Allah will reward those in the Garden with beautiful wives with wide, lovely eyes. 52:20





Allah will give those in the Garden women of modest gaze whom neither man nor jinn have touched before them. 55:56





Allah will reward believing men with "fair ones" (beautiful women) in heaven. 55:71-72





Those in the Garden will be attended by immortal youths with wide, lovely eyes. 56:17-23





Allah made virgins to be lovers and friends to those on his right hand. 56:36-37





Those in the Garden will be waited on by immortal youths, as beautiful as scattered pearls. 76:19





Those in the Gardens will have maidens for companions. 78:33








and this





Narrated Jabir: Jews used to say: 'If one has sexual intercourse with his wife from the back [The vagina as clearly shown below], then she will deliver a squint-eyed child.' So this Verse was revealed:-- 'Your wives are a tilth unto you; so go to your tilth when or how you will.' (2.223) (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (peace be upon him)), Number 51)"





"Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) declared that the Jews used to say: When a man has intercourse with his wife through the vagina but being on her back. the child will have squint, so the verse came down:" Your wives are your tilth; go then unto your tilth as you may desire" (ii. 223) (Translation of Sahih Muslim, Book 8, The Book of Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Number 3363)"





"Jabir (b. Abdullah) (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Jews used to say that when one comes to one's wife through the vagina, but being on her back, and she becomes pregnant, the child has a squint. So the verse came down:' Your wives are your ti'Ith; go then unto your tilth, as you may desire.' (Translation of Sahih Muslim, Book 8, The Book of Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Number 3364)"





"This hadith has been reported on the authority of Jabir through another chain of transmitters, but in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Zuhri there is an addition (of these words): 'If he likes he may (have intercourse) being on the back or in front of her, but it should be through one opening (vagina).' (Translation of Sahih Muslim, Book 8, The Book of Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Number 3365)"





"Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas: Ibn Umar misunderstood (the Qur'anic verse, "So come to your tilth however you will")--may Allah forgive him. The fact is that this clan of the Ansar, who were idolaters, lived in the company of the Jews who were the people of the Book. They (the Ansar) accepted their superiority over themselves in respect of knowledge, and they followed most of their actions. The people of the Book (i.e. the Jews) used to have intercourse with their women on one side alone (i.e. lying on their backs). This was the most concealing position for (the vagina of) the women. This clan of the Ansar adopted this practice from them. But this tribe of the Quraysh used to uncover their women completely, and seek pleasure with them from in front and behind and laying them on their backs.





When the muhajirun (the immigrants) came to Medina, a man married a woman of the Ansar. He began to do the same kind of action with her, but she disliked it, and said to him: We were approached on one side (i.e. lying on the back); do it so, otherwise keep away from me. This matter of theirs spread widely, and it reached the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him).





So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur'anic verse: 'Your wives are a tilth to you, so come to your tilth however you will,' i.e. from in front, from behind or lying on the back. But this verse meant the place of the delivery of the child, i.e. the vagina. (Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 11, Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Number 2159)"





So to people how try to be mindless and speak nonsense, be sure that your holy book don't speak of sex too.

And after six days Jesus told him what to do and in the evening the youth comes to him, wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the kingdom of God.

Lot and his daughters shared with us as well.


The men of Sodom wanted to bugger two angels abiding with Lot. Lot said, "Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known a man; let me, I pray you, bring them unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes." --Genesis 19:8.





But the Sodomites preferred male angels. The Lot family escaped; Mrs. Lot looked back, became a pillar of salt; father Lot and daughters fled to a cave, at which time the elder daughter proposed: "Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father." --Genesis 19:32.





"Thus were both daughters of Lot with child by their father." --Genesis 19:36.

The two characters are of vastly different social castes, he had multiple flocks with shepherds that worked for him, she was forced to watch her siblings flock. The part about him nursing at her mother's breasts alludes to an ancient custom, friends who both had children would nurse each other's children if it were necessary. She was wishing that they were of the same social caste, not literally siblings.


As far as oral sex, a lot of the views concerning sex came out of the dark ages, not the Bible. The only things banned by the Bible are bestiality, extra-marital, homosexual, and anything harmful or demeaning to either party.

X-Rated Pornography in the Bible:





Song of Songs 8:1-3 "If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother's breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me. I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house-- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink [i.e., her vagina's semen!], the nectar of my pomegranates. His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me."





She wished if he was her brother so that she wouldn't have to take him home in secret. Now if he was truly her husband, then what would prompt her to wish that he was her brother? Were husbands back then not allowed to live with their wives? If so, how did they then consummate and have children and raise generations and societies? Were they allowed to live with each others for a while?





The obvious answer, that only the ashamed people from the Jews and Christians would deny, is that the "lover" was NOT her husband, and she was not his wife.





Further more, according to "Sex in the Bible" documentary film, the two were "a maiden (virgin) and her lover" and not husband and wife. Listen to this for yourself.





"maiden" means virgin; an unmarried woman; a single girl, etc...








Fantasizing about a girl he calls his "sister". Her vagina tastes like wine for him. And they had sex all night long. After he satisfied her really good, she wished if he were her brother (her biological brother nursed by her "mother's breast" as she said) so she doesn't have to take him home secretly:





Let us look at Song of Songs 4:9 "You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace." Fantasizing about his sister? at least he shows in this verse that he would!.





Let us look at Song of Songs 4:10 "How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!" Making love to his own sister? "pleasing is your love (making???) than wine"?





Let us look at Song of Songs 4:12 "You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain."





Sleeping with his sister: Let us look at Song of Songs 5:4 "I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My lover is knocking: 'Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.' I have taken off my robe (i.e., he showed his penis to her. Underwears didn't exist back then!) must I put it on again? I have washed my feet, must I soil them again? My lover thrust his hand through the latch-opening; my heart began to pound for him." What a disgusting way for someone to talk so pervertly about his sister like that!!.





Let us look at Song of Songs 5:8 "O daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you-- if you find my lover, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love." Teaching women to be sexually too open.








His sister's vagina tastes like "wine":





"How beautiful your sandaled feet, O prince's daughter! Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of a craftsman's hands. Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies. Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbi.


.......


I said 'I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.' May your breasts be like the clusters of the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples, and your mouth like the best wine. (The NIV Bible, Song of Songs 7:1-4, 8-9)"





According to the documentary film "Sex in the Bible" on A%26amp;E TV Station, the Hebrew translation to "Your naval" is referring to the woman's VAGINA. This was sent to me by my dear brother in Islam Mike who embraced Islam just recently; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him.








Christians practicing pornography and sodomy. Apparently they think it's ok to do it!





I am a strong believer that the person's behaviors in life are influenced by the way he was brought up and the things he/she believes in. Since open sexuality and pornography are so high among the Christian society (with all my respect for you), could it be that Christians don't see the Bible as a book that really prohibits such acts? or could it be that Christians see high pornography in the Bible and think it is ok to do it?





Most Christian women wear (occasionally or often) mini skirts that expose 90% of their legs to the public, wear bikinis that expose 90% of their entire bodies to the public, go to bars and night clubs where Satan is having a great time there and watch movies that have inappropriate sexual fantasies scenes in it, such as a boyfriend making love to his girlfriend, etc....





Most Christian men have no problem looking lustfully at other women, going to clubs and bars in a hope to get laid with some woman someday and watch movies that have inappropriate sexual fantasies scenes in it, such as a boyfriend making love to his girlfriend, etc....





My question is then, if you are a Christian that fits in the above categories, then what makes you think that you are any better than the guy and the girl above in the picture who are practicing pornography?





Oh and there's more....
Reply:sex is obviously not horrible silly man. god intended it to be between a husband and wife.....unless your Gay or something like comment 1, i can see why you'd say that?
Reply:That sounds gross. I would not let my kid read that filth.
Reply:You are taking that wayyy out of context. Yes, its a little explicit. Yes, its in the bible, BUT, its portraying a man and wife. Not an man and acquaintence. Oh and might I add, vaginas do not have semen...
Reply:First of all - get your quotes right - Song of Solomon 8 1 - 3 reads as follows:





Song of Solomon 8


1 If only you were to me like a brother,


who was nursed at my mother's breasts!


Then, if I found you outside,


I would kiss you,


and no one would despise me.





2 I would lead you


and bring you to my mother's house—


she who has taught me.


I would give you spiced wine to drink,


the nectar of my pomegranates.





3 His left arm is under my head


and his right arm embraces me.

Trying to lead people astray - well lets just say you will have to account for your actions. Hope you have a hot suit.
