Criticism directed at Peter Cooper made him boil; when he finally cooled down he was stopped on his tracks. Samuel Colt wasn't the Peacemaker he aspired to be, but he gave it his best shot. The notion of having a conversation over many miles was an idea for dingalings until Alexander Graham...

No, nor does a tomb equal the "heart of the earth." It's not even below ground.

People didn't really cotton to Eli Whitney. John Deere had his de-tractors. Robert Fulton often went against the winds. Samuel Morse had to send and receive his messages in code. Thomas Edison needed deodorant (99% perspiration). George Eastman was always having to close his shutters. The...

A woman walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she’s going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer tells her that the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan, so the woman hands over the keys to a new Rolls...

Post-millenial? It makes sense it won't happen till after these silly "millenials" are out of the way.

Yeah, things like that just don't happen, do they? Maybe the afterlife itself is only symbolic, as you know you're to die, just thinking about "where you're going" lets you die 'happy,' so you're eternally happy, as there is no other feeling. We just can't let an old book written over many...

Enough of these Sominex for the Christian Soul threads!9

The pharisees' enforced demands were "overly stringent" compared to stoning the man for gathering wood on the sabbath? One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto...

Maybe they should do another play on Uncle Tom's Cabin, with a black girl as Simon Legree and a Japanese black belt as Uncle Thomasina the crossdresser.

Sign Gifts? Yes, usually; unless I'm sending the gift anonymously.

And what did Jesus say about the sabbath? The only times he is recorded as saying anything about it were the times he was confronted about it. "My father is working until now, and I myself am working." "It is right to do good on the sabbath." And he refused to criticize his followers for...

On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised [Leviticus 12:3]. --> For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love [Galatians 5:6]. Likewise: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do...

How does it compare to chopping firewood?-- which resulted in a man being stoned because he did it on the sabbath.

You know all about them, do you?

No, Moses didn't make God. Alcott said: ↑

So no one should go to jail for theft? And you answered only a small part of my post. I will quote it again for you Alcott said: ↑

The commandments were just moral laws to the ones to whom Moses presented them. To me, the different commandments may or may not be criminal law. I advocate the death penalty for murder, and prison for theft, for 2 examples. Do you believe the sabbath command is the same requirement with the...

Let's also ask him what the penalty is for working on the sabbath: Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the sabbath day. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation; and they put him in custody...

And is sabbath observance an outward or an inward identifying circumstance? And is [outward] circumcision still required? BTW precisely where is God's International Dateline? You might be out there on a ship and not know whether it is evil to reef out a sail, depending on what day it is, or if...
