Pagan band demands "quiet area for fornication"

you, my friend, are wound much too tight. Read the book of Esther to see how a concubine (prostitute) saved the Jews.

The Arabs argue that Sarai was the concubine. Your interpretation that all sin is equally repugnant to God is unsupported by scripture. How would you know that "all sin is equally repugnant to Him"? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. The pharisees used Jesus's associations to condemn him to death. You share their sin (thou shalt not covet) when you condemn a whole people based on the your narrow interpretation. You need Jesus to learn to forgive, not to stand in judgment of people.

I against abortion but none of Bible verse you use say against it...no "thou shalt not kill" only where body made. Jewish faith says no soul till first breath.

[twigs]

I have no desire to debate abortion. But I defend life when necessary. With no apologies.

[RussianConservative]

Druids used to scry future with guts of sacrificed humans.

[RussianConservative]

Also, pick lots for one person to die each year for blood to sacrifice on fields.

[twigs]

all sin is equally repugnant to God is unsupported by scripture

That's not true. You may want to read the entire Bible.

You share their sin (thou shalt not covet)

You are correct--I am a sinner. However, I fail to see that in this particular instance that I am coveting.

you condemn a whole people based on the your narrow interpretation. You need Jesus to learn to forgive, not to stand in judgment of people.

I do not condemn. These are words from Jesus: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

[wimpycat]

I don't know that word, but guess "scry" means to predict or divine the future.

Yes, if they are real Druids they need some human sacrifices, to see if their fornicating will make a good wheat crop this year.

[wimpycat]

There's a very good American short story by Shirley Jackson, called "The Lottery" that deals with that subject. I read it in highschool. If you can find it, it's worth reading.

"...time for long boat raid on coast."

My Varangian pals tell me they're planning to tour Eastward this year. First Novgorod, then Kiev.

Russian girls very pretty, they say. ;^)

[RussianConservative]

Yes but us half slav half vargars pretty mean customers come meet our shield wall. :0)

[Dead Corpse]

Genesis 2:7, when God "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
Oopppsss...

Face it. The world and everything in it was made from Frost Giants slain by Odin.

[RussianConservative]

Ahhh, joy of good foritorium, almost as necessity in any good house as good vomitorium....can't have feast without one.

[Treebeard]

I had a parakeet named Onan, because he was always spilling his seed upon the ground...

[RussianConservative]

Nononon, from bodies of Titans slain by Zues.

[RussianConservative]

What about man born on island without word of Christ...is he automatically condemned? If so, then you say God makes some men to be damned?

[wimpycat]

Ahhh! You Russians and your sense of humor! LOL!

Za Vas!

[wimpycat]

ROFLMAO!

[headsonpikes]

It could be argued that the Vikings/Varangians were the founders of both the English and Russian states.

Not bad for a few thousand ruffians. ;^)

[Dead Corpse]

Oooooohhhh... don't let Thor hear you talking like that. ;-)

[RussianConservative]
