Comment on Soycucks making peace with their Vaxdicks

  And we have to even be careful when digging at the origins. I mean, the schools where you'd learn ancient languages are compromised. I've heard some very shaky apologetics of that sort.

  Just listen to LGBT apologetics, and you'll see what I'm saying. Things like, "Deuteronomy says that men are not to dress as women, and I'm really a woman, so this doesn't apply to me." Now, if you dig at the original wording, you may find that it mentions specific clothing items. It may read closer to "Don't let women wear combat gear or let a man wear an apron, for this is an abomination to the Lord thy God." If that is the case, then the real issue here is not about the clothing, but the underlying social roles. If all the women are out fighting wars and the men are at home doing chores, cooking, and taking care of kids, it just won't really work.

  This element may even have relevance to the Original Sin. I mean, why was Eve alone with the Serpent? Why wasn't Adam taking her of her and accompanying her? Without Adam's guidance and leadership, she thought the Serpent made a good proposal. And why did he also eat the fruit? So Adam let Eve (and therefore also the Serpent) set the direction of their family.

  A lot of times, God's mercy is spontaneous and we have miracles or sometimes just "gut instincts" that prevent a tragedy. It seems that God uses the foolishness of mankind. I remember a Sunday School teacher saying that he and his wife were arguing on the interstate highway, and he missed the turn-off. So he was fussing at her for causing him to miss the exit. So he had to go a mile out of his way to get turned around to have another chance at the exit. When he returned, there was a pileup. At that point, his spirit changed. He was thankful, not upset about missing his exit, since he could clearly see that if they made it the first time, they could have been involved in the multi-car collision.

  Sometimes God may act in a psychic sort of way. Like if you suddenly feel an urge to check the lugs on your car, and you find that someone has loosened some. Or in the book that "Chariots of Fire" was based on. The Christian runner visited a woman who had survived a bad fire, I think to the point she had to have electrolysis done on her eyelids since the lashes were deformed from the scarred skin and growing toward her eyes. She gave him a letter she was going to send him but hadn't, and he figured he'd read that on the bus. And his spirit was drawn to a man on the bus who looked very depressed. He talked to the passenger and found he intended that to be his last ride and that he was going to commit suicide at his destination. Not knowing what to do, he handed him the woman's letter where she explained her ordeal. I don't know if he received God's salvation then, but he did change his immediate plans to not include suicide.

    That's a very good explanation. When I first borrowed my Catholic friends' Bible and read it when I was 10 (I was from a non christian, religious family), the phrase on womens' dress was my first question to him

    RE: Compromised teachings. Yes. Its obvious to older generations who lived life, and can tell when frauds start adding their agenda. Unfortunately, young people get brainwashed or disillusioned. They will have to suffer and be lost till they find their way to the truth.

    RE: The fruit. From the tree of knowledge, that God forbade to touch, lest they die. "Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame" shame is a sign of vulnerability - a naked body can be hurt or killed. Its awareness of death. Babies do not understand mortality, and are not ashamed. Neither are animals.

    God said they will die if they touch the tree, but neither knew death. The fruit gave them knowledge of mortality, making them ashamed of nudity.

    Women birth. The fragility of her baby gives knowledge of Death to women. A girl becomes a woman through childbirth.

    Women reject men, killing their ego. Thus giving knowledge of Death to men. A boy becomes a man, when a woman's rejection forces him to 'grow up'.

    Knowledge of Death is the transition from childhood bliss to adulthood maturity. Children who see death become mature early aka "lost childhood"

    RE: God's mercy/Miracles. Yes, 100% agreed. Every 'near miss' is God's mercy and warning. Driving too fast and almost crashed ? Thank God's grace and drive more carefully. God gives us MANY chances. Its us who have to pay attention and learn.

    God is good, and even in the worst suffering we have to believe in His Will.

      Adam and Eve were naked because God never told them not to be, and they had no sin consciousness. It wasn't until they ate that they knew they were naked.

      That is much like having consciousness of crime. Cops look for things such as trying to clean up the crime scene, avoiding cameras, hiding the weapon, etc. If you do those things, then you know you committed a crime. So then you can't argue mental illness or self-defense. Reloading is another thing that fits in this category. You can't claim you flew into a psychotic rage and couldn't stop yourself if you have the ability to stop and reload your weapon. In that case, you'd be more likely to be caught dry-firing at the victim than reloading. Reloading tends to establish intent.

      What I said at the beginning was true for the pre-curse time. Now, it is more the other way, where nakedness is associated with evil or at least not having moral authority in your life (like if demons took that from you). In the NT, there was the "Maniac of Gadara." He was naked, cutting himself, fighting, and crying out.

      And yes, there are exceptions. For instance, OT prophets wore nothing when they were trying to get answers from God. They shed anything that marked their identity or could block them from receiving God's information/instructions. And yes, they were vulnerable and exposed. But I guess that's about like sex in that you only have your partner to shield you, and gaining prophesies is a bit like that.
