Live births and partial-birth abortions Eric Harrah, former abortion clinic worker, says that "live births" were the industry's "dirty little secret." In the industry for 11 years & owner or partner in 26 abortion clinics, Harrah said, "it was always very disturbing, so the doctor would try to conceal it from the rest of the staff." Live births from partial-birth abortions recently made headlines in Ohio when a woman was being prepared for an abortion at the Women's Med Center in Dayton. The woman went into premature labor and was then admitted to a Dayton hospital where she gave birth to a 25-to-26-week-old infant. Women's Med Center is operated by Dr. Martin Haskell, the developer of partial-birth abortion. According to news reports, this was the second time in four months that a woman had given birth during preparations for a partial-birth abortion at the center. The increasing demand for intact fetal body parts is the main reason the abortion industry wants to protect partial-birth abortion from any restrictions, Crutcher says. Partial-birth abortion "is about maximizing profits. First, you sell the woman an abortion. Then you turn around and sell the dead baby you take out of her. But you have to take it out whole, or you don't have anything to sell." |

Interesting wrote: in the Bible where polygamy is called a sin. Titus 1:6A "If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, .."OPPOSITE OF BLAMELESS?BLAME polygamy is DUMB(cf O.T. history) Going through the internecine interfamilial warfare that had at its core the evil of polygamy, the O.T. teaches by example that polygamy is foolish, hurtful, destructive, and absolutely opposed to the design of marriage. [URL=http://www.christian-thinktank.com/polygame.html]]]POLYGAMY POLY GAME[/URL] The data for the NT seems rather clear. Although it was already a minority practice (outlawed in many countries), the stance of Jesus, Paul, and the early church are emphatically condemnatory of it. Not all things foolish are condemned as sin: some are condemned as foolish, some as destructive, or as less than the best. But we still are to be blamed if we don't read the history of bad choices and learn NOT to follow that bad example. |

DJC49 wrote: Erasmus a popular myth with those of you who don't have a bible, but re: your outdated myth: Erasmus did not add the verse aversly, but in fact found Greek texts which supported what was already in his Old Latin texts.(Donald L. Brake indicates this in his thesis presented to Dallas Theological Seminary and reprinted in the book Counterfeit Or Genuine, edited by Dr. David Otis Fuller [Grand Rapids: Grand Rapids International Publication, 1978], 205. This is futher verified by both Dr.Fuller Dr. Hills.This has now been admitted by Dr. Bruce Metzger, that your(&his) Erasmus story was apocryphal(The Text Of The New Testament, 291)Metzger notes that H. J. de Jonge, a respected specialist on Erasmus, has established that there is no evidence of such events occurring. Therefore, opponents of the Comma in light of the historical facts should no longer affirm this report. IN OTHER WORDS STOP LYING or, to use charity, and assume you didn't know this and were unwittingly propogating a lie, 2 Pet 3:8 "But of this one thing be not ignorant.." and, by the by, you "no bible' types want to use the GREEK Lxx to correct the Hebrew O.T. in hundreds of places, and you complain about Latin mss supported by Greek (per Jerome).Mt.7:1-4 |

DJC49 wrote: ANY NO It is not true that 1 John 5:7 is absent in all pre-l6th century Greek manuscripts and New Testament translations. The text is found in eight extant Greek manuscripts, and five of them are dated before the 16th century (Greek miniscules 88, 221, 429, 629, 636). Also,there are at least 8000 extant Latin manuscripts, and many of them contain 1 John 5:7f; the really important ones being the Old Latin, which church fathers such as Tertullian (AD 155-220) and Cyprian (AD 200-258) used. Now, out of the very few Old Latin manuscripts with the fifth chapter of First John, at least four of them contain the Comma. Since these Latin versions were derived from the Greek New Testament, there is reason to believe that 1 John 5:7 has very early Greek attestation, hitherto lost. There is also reason to believe that Jerome’s Latin Vulgate (AD 340-420), which contains the Johannine Comma, was translated from an untampered Greek text he had in his possession and that he regarded the Comma to be a genuine part of First John. Jerome in his Prologue to the Canonical Epistles wrote, "Irresponsible translators left out this testimony [i. e., 1 John 5:7f] in the Greek codices." Hills-"It was not trickery that was responsible for the inclusion" of 1Jn5:7 |

[URL=http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=17246]]]Fetal profits promoting partial-birth abortions[/URL] An abortion clinic routinely performed partial-birth abortions and even live births in order to maximize the profits from the subsequent sale of undamaged fetal tissue, claims a former technician for a business that markets fetal body parts. On July 17, 2007, Senator Barack Obama spoke to President Cecile Richards, Steve Trombley, and other senior leaders at a Planned Parenthood Action Fund meeting. To this cheering...audience, Senator Obama promised, "The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act." These words inspired and rightfully energized the PP... leadership....Only one week after the U.S. Supreme Court's April 18, 2007 decision upholding the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban (read Infanticide), Obama and 17 other Democratic senators introduced Senate Bill S.1173, FOCA. FOCA would nullify the... ban on partial birth abortion. Infanticide would again be the law of the land. FOCA would also invalidate all state laws limiting or restricting abortion by any means including parental notification, informed consent, health and safety regulations for abortion clinics. here, Obama's worse than McCAIN. |

thanks, Jim!If I were Muslim, I would wonder about the statement in the Qur’an, 5:51 "O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as awliya’ (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but awliya’ to one another ..." There are examples to prove this to be false. A non-Muslim country sought to bring freedom from tyranny in Afghanistan, freedom from tyranny in Iraq, the Kurdish Muslims are overjoyed at the prospect of freedom. In the end of the last century a non-Muslim country fought another non-Muslim country to liberate Muslims. During that time Jewish doctors treated Kosovar Muslims contrary to the sura above. If I were Muslim I would think twice about the imam’s preaching to hate the Jews and Christians when many imams and Muslims have never met or seen Jews or Christians. This is the most profound prejudice one can describe. Many Muslims who come to the west are surprised at the friendly reception they receive. Why should you make Mohammed’s enemies your enemies? If I were Muslim I would want to read the Qur’an to see what it says. Christians,too, should know the enemy. If I were a Muslim I would want to investigate why the rest of the world thinks that Mohammed was a pedophile. Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64—re: Aisha |

DJC49 notes Mark 7:6,7 Bible. quotes ESAIAS 29:13 "THIS PEOPLE HONOURETH ME WITH [their] LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME. HOWBEIT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING [for] DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN." [Mk 7:6,7]Lxx 29:13. reads: "THEY HONOUR ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME: BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING THE COMMANDMENTS AND DOCTRINES OF MEN." "THIS PEOPLE HONOURETH"not the same as "THEY HONOUR" LXX "THEIR" of lxx is NOT quoted in the AV, rather, the word is supplied (were the AV authors inspired to quote the Lxx?) "TEACHING [for] DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS" not the same as "TEACHING THE COMMANDMENTS AND DOCTRINES" LXX obviously, not the same documents, even in English. and the Greek differs in wording, word order, and number of words. Even your own best example shows LXX quotes differ VASTLY from the Authorised Bible.

Jim Lincoln wrote: Engineer, good versions of the Bible have John 11:53-8:11 Hey, that reminds me: as you've been about conceding to Ryrie King James Bible as a good bible to use, I don't get your continued use of the ASV when you told me: [URL=http://www.sermonaudio.com/new_details.asp?ID=25927]]]Bible text thread[/URL] Jim Lincoln | Nebraska 8/1/08 2:24 PM Engineer, all I really need to point out, that the KJV is wrong for example, 7 of them where it uses the word "Jehovah" "Yahweh" may not be the perfect rendering of God's name, but one thing is for certain, "Jehovah" isn't God's name! And you told me after this [URL=http://www.sermonaudio.com/new_details.asp?ID=25926]]]Jim's comment to Engineer says use ASV[/URL] "ASV ... since ...so much more accurate translation.."

just a reminder: keep in mindOlympic athletes hear the cries of tens of thousands of cheering fans in China, Almighty God will also be hearing the death cries of tens of thousands of murdered Chinese babies. Many of their mothers will be screaming also as the Communist Chinese government applies their one-child policy through forced “abortions.” All “abortions” are forced because no child chooses to be murdered, but many police in Red China force mothers into murdering preborn children. As well-fed men throw the hammer, starving Chinese prisoners hammer at big rocks to make gravel until it kills them. Pro basketball players twist as they shoot baskets while Chinese prisoners twist as the police shoot their heads with bullets to sell their fresh organs. Sprinters use poles to jump over bars, & Chinese Christians are locked behind bars and beaten with poles. As millions watch runners “suffer” through long races, millions of Chinese prisoners suffer torture for not working hard enough in factory-prisons as they make cheap toys and tennis shoes. Beijing is polluted with the shedding of innocent blood.innocent people, born and preborn.

rogerant wrote: Jer 31:22 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a NEW thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man. The fact is that they used the word "thing" and it is inspired. Hebrew: châdash khaw-dash'A primitive root; to be new; causatively to rebuild:—renew, repair. Strong's definition here ;new:—fresh, new thing. "thing" Matthew Henry says here They are encouraged by the promise of a new, unheard-of, extraordinary thing; a creation, a work of Almighty power; the human nature of Christ, formed and prepared by the power of the Holy Ghost: and this is here mentioned as an encouragement to the Jews to return to their own land. And a comfortable prospect is given them of a happy settlement there. Godliness and honesty God has joined: let no man think to put them asunder, or to make the one atone for the want of the other.See what a blessing the word of God is, when you let it speak to you, and don't try to correct it? And we note your inability to contort "Is 66:8 "...who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? " where a woman ALSO gives birth to a 'thing" ...the Church of God. |

DJC49 wrote: Absolutely NOWHERE else in the Bible is any woman referred to as giving birth to a THING Christiana said Jer 31:22 "How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter: for the LORD hath created a new 'thing' in the earth, A woman shall compass a man." KJV Is 66:8 "...who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. "Is. 66:7 "Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children." v7 The whole verse is expressive of a great and sudden salvation, which God would work for his church, like the miraculous delivery of a woman, "Who hath heard such a thing?"....the coming of Christ, and the sudden propagation of the gospel. v8- As soon as the voice of the gospel put the the Jews into her travail, in Christ's and the Apostles time, it brought forth the new thing (predicted in Christiana's Jer 31:22) known as the Church. |

DJC49 wrote: KJV translation (vs) NASB (renders) as "Holy Child" of course, the NASB is only paraphrasing here, as they admit in side note "literally, Holy Thing"All Bible versions at times speak of Jesus Christ as being a thing or something neuter. In Matthew 1:20 the angel of the Lord says to Joseph: "fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for THAT WHICH is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost." Notice the angel does not say "he", but "that which",: it is neuter both in Greek and in English. In Lk 1:35 THAT HOLY THING which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." That holy thing is neuter, yet we all know that Jesus Christ is a person, in fact, God manifest in the flesh. I John opens with a reference to Jesus Christ, yet it refers to Him as a thing. "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life." Yet Christ is not a thing, but a person. I John 5:4 "WHATSOEVER is born of God overcometh the world." This is a neuter. Are all who are born again a 'thing'? We're all still waiting for DJC49 to tell us just what Bible is best. If we who use the King James only agreed with him, we'd ALL be wrong! |

Dissent Speech Prohibited: May 2008 SB 08-200: SECTION 8 amends Colorado Revised Statutes 24-34-701 as follows: Publishing of discriminative matter forbidden. No person, being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent, agent, or employee of any place of public accommodation... shall publish, issue, circulate, send, distribute, give away, or display in any way, manner, or shape or by any means or method, except as provided in this section, any communication, paper, poster, folder, manuscript, book, pamphlet, writing, print, letter, notice, or advertisement of any kind, nature, or description THAT is intended or calculated to discriminate or actually discriminates against... SEXUAL ORIENTATION, marital status... in the matter of furnishing or neglecting or refusing to furnish to them or any one of them any lodging, housing, schooling, or tuition or any accommodation, right [marriage], privilege [adoption], advantage, or convenience... on account of... SEXUAL ORIENTATION, marital status... [which] is unwelcome or objectionable or not acceptable, desired, or solicited.The State of Colorado thus already makes Christian books illegal: this is the next step. Think the unFairness doctrine could mandate an atheist rebuttal after the pastor's pulpit delivery?
