Moderators Bravus Posted April 4, 2005 Moderators Share Posted April 4, 2005 Definitely: but on the whole I'd rather save the tortoise and skim some of the billions in gambling revenue in Vegas to feed the homeless. Plenty of people stuffing themselves tupid at the all-you-can-force-down buffets there too, to be shared around. Quote Truth is important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodema Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Nevada is a big state, and Carson City and Las Vegas are just two of its cities. Parts of NV are dirt poor. I don't know about CC but LV is rolling in dough. Maybe they should send some to CC for the needy. Quote "After such knowledge, what forgiveness?" -- T.S.

Guest Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 DA 286 When questioned, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath days?" Jesus answered, "What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the Sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days." Matt. 12:10-12. The spies dared not answer Christ in the presence of the multitude, for fear of involving themselves in difficulty. They knew that He had spoken the truth. Rather than violate their traditions, they would leave a man to suffer, while they would relieve a brute because of the loss to the owner if it were neglected. Thus greater care was shown for a dumb animal than for man, who is made in the image of God. This illustrates the working of all false religions. They originate in man's desire to exalt himself above God, but they result in degrading man Page 287 below the brute. Every religion that wars against the sovereignty of God defrauds man of the glory which was his at the creation, and which is to be restored to him in Christ. Every false religion teaches its adherents to be careless of human needs, sufferings, and rights. The gospel places a high value upon humanity as the purchase of the blood of Christ, and it teaches a tender regard for the wants and woes of man. The Lord says, "I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir." Isa. 13:12. This is the result of Jer 17:9, Rom 8:7, The hit on the 4th commandment by Protestants and Catholics...the influence of evolution....PETA... and cheapo impotent NFDMTTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
