451: Is Birth Control Sinful?
Thus, the doctrine that the only God-given purpose for marital relations is for the purpose of having children is wrong. Opposition to birth control is based on this false assumption. Many good people who have misunderstood the teaching of the Bible on this point, have mistakenly assumed that Genesis 1:28 applies to Christians today, when it says, "Be you fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it." This, however, was, obviously, a command given to Adam and Eve, not to all mankind today. Not every command given to every individual in the Bible applies today; we are not to build an ark because Noah did, neither are we to stone adulterers because the Jews did. No Old Testament command applies today, because the Old Testament was fulfilled and replaced by the New Testament at the death of Christ. Study Romans 7:6; Galatians 3:23-25; Hebrews 9:15-17. Those against birth control say that since the bearing of children is the only God give purpose for marital relations, it is a ... ...

453: Review: Telling Lies for God: Reason vs Creationism By Ian Plimer
Review: Telling Lies for God: Reason vs Creationism By Ian Plimer Dr. J. Sarfati Shrill and unscholarly, even by anti-creationist standards May 28, 2001 Readers should be aware that Plimer is a member of the Humanist Society of Victoria. Its membership application (1994) says 'I subscribe to the objects and rules of the Humanist ... He also claims on p. 278 that belief in life after death is evidence that one has not been 'taught how to think'. It seems the main reason for this tirade against creationism is that it challenges his religious faith. He uses about every unfair rhetorical trick in the book, including leading questions and guilt by association. ... Under the heading, "A Smear Letter" Lippard quotes from a form letter from Plimer which says, "Furthermore, if you were at the debates in Sydney (18.3.88) or Brisbane (30.3.88), you would surely have noticed an entourage of young people (principally boys) accompanying Gish and who continually touched him.

454: Who is the ANTICHRIST?
... This is the deceiver and the antichrist." From the Bible we can clearly see 3 things. First, the "antichrist" is defined as anyone who doesn't believe Jesus is the divine son of God. Second, "antichrists" appear to actively teach against Christ. Third, there were many "antichrists" in the world when John wrote the book. This directly contradicts the teaching of modern speculationists who say that one antichrist will arise at some still future time. The Greek word from which our English word "antichrist" is translated is very simple to understand. It is a simple compound word and means "anti" + "Christ" = "antichrist". We use the same compound word every day. We have people who are "anti-smoking" or "anti-gay" or "anti-hunting" or "anti-Semitic" or "anti-abortion". There really is no big mystery as to what the word means. "Anti-Christ" is anyone who opposes Christ. Take this test to see if you are an "antichrist": 1. Do you actively teach or simply believe that Jesus Christ never ... ...

458: Pope Offers Catholics Time Out Of Purgatory By Y2K Indulgences
It is purely a tradition of man, established by man's authority, not from God in heaven (Mt 15:1-9; cf., Acts 8:18-24; 1 Jn 1:10; Js 5:16). Moreover, there is no such thing as purgatory. Again, we submit that nowhere in God's inspired word will one find the doctrine that says people leave this world and enter purgatory to cleanse themselves before they get to heaven. Rather, the Bible teaches that upon our death, we will either go to paradise or torments, and can never cross over to the other, to await the final judgment (Lk 16:19-31). Further, the article mentioned "rosary" and "stations of the cross," two things which are not as the oracles of God (1 Pet 4:11). It is worth noting that Martin Luther was right to rebel against the Catholic church and its teachings, but he went FROM BABYLON PAST JERUSALEM TO EGYPT. His disgust for Catholic perversions drove him to an equally sinful extreme--faith only. The Bible teaches that one must OBEY, DO, FOLLOW, and WORK in order to be pleasing ... ...

465: Scientology is not a Religion: Kent
... It should not be, however, the only issue over which we evaluate the German-American debate over Scientology's religious claims. Intimately related to the religious question are human rights questions. Some people assume that religious practice is a guaranteed human right, but even a superficial examination of world events shows that many atrocities occur in the name of God or religion. Universally, therefore, religious belief must receive absolute protection, but religious practice stemming from that belief must receive protection only until it begins to violate the rights ...

... Moreover, the Logos was subject to change: he could become a sinner. Such was the teaching which Arius began to set forth in about 311. Alexander, the Catholic bishop of Alexandria, convened synods which condemned his views, and he was forced to leave Alexandria. Nevertheless, he gained a great following. There were three reasons for this:' a. His views seemed to protect the unity of God against the danger of polytheism. b. They satisfied the deep-rooted Greek idea that God cannot be the creator of the material universe. c. They gave high honor to the Son or Logos of God and even declared him to be God. The controversy spread to all parts-of the East. Theologians, monks, and church leaders took sides in the debate.

God, Jesus, and the Spirit found in the New Testament in order to fight against heretical tendencies of how the three are related Elaboration on the concept of a Trinity also serves to defend the church against charges of di or tritheism. Since the Christians have come to worship Jesus as a god (Pliny, Epistles 967), how can they claim to be continuing the rnonotheistic tradition of the God of Israel) Various answers are suggested, debated, and rejected as heretical, but the idea of a Trinity one God subsisting in three persons and one substance ultimately prevails. While the New Testament writers say a great deal about God, Jesus, and the Spirit of each, no New Testament writer expounds on the relationship among the three in the detail that later Christian writers do. The earliest New Testament evidence for a tripartite formula comes in 2 Corinthians 13.13, where Paul wishes that "the grace of the Lord Jesus, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit" be with the people ... ...

478: Christians can eat test tube meat and genetically modified foods
Some permit meat only when the farmer or rancher had treated the animal with kindness and consideration and given them only the food of which these animal rights activists approve. Some of them are more vocal than people who are activated by religion, but both groups would force their dietary prohibitions on others. As a result, their prohibitions have been adopted by alleged Christians, who would urge abstinence on others in the name of the will and design of God. But what does God say? Fortunately, ancient Christian literature has much to relate on whether it is ethical to eat various foods, such as the meat ... Some small sects allegedly kept kosher and others commanded vegetarianism, but their writings have not survived, so we today cannot assess whether the allegations of their proto-orthodox opponents about them were accurate or whether the sects allowed for exceptions and qualifications. The only extant writer to limit meat intake was Clement, and even he advised against ... ...

... Yehudim is a unique word in the Old Testament the Babylonians and Persians used to refer to the Hebrew population from Judah. The word "Jew" is common today but no one in the Bible before the Babylonian Captivity of 587 BC was ever called a JEW. JEW and Christian were names enemies gave the people of God.

The fundamental question to be answered is whether or not the life that has been conceived in the mother's womb is a human person, separate and distinct as an individual from the mother.
