Garden of Eden???,..?

Wally Perrien: What does being an atheist have to do with the actions of a pedophile?He should be held accountable for his actions and should have thought twice about effing a child.

Monroe Rainey: Is it not a victory for those who believe in not being accountable for one's actions and doing whatever one feels like?

Toby Women: answer: the really ingredient the Bible tells us with reference to the backyard of Eden’s region is latest in Genesis 2:10-14, “A river watering the backyard flowed from Eden; from there it replaced into separated into 4 headwaters. The call of the first is the Pishon; it winds via the completed land of Havilah, the position there is gold…The call of the 2d river is the Gihon; it winds via the completed land of Cush. The call of the 0.33 river is the Tigris; it runs alongside the east aspect of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.” the precise identities of the Pishon and Havilah rivers is unknown, in spite of the unde! niable fact that the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are nicely effortless. If the Tigris and Euphrates suggested are an similar rivers by technique of those names at present, which could placed the backyard of Eden someplace contained in the middle East, in all probability in Iraq. It won't be able to be mere twist of destiny that the middle East area is the position the planet replaced into maximum lushâ€"the position the position the backyard of Eden replaced into positioned. If oil is, as maximum scientists believe, frequently decayed plants and animal matter that has decomposed, then that's the area the position we could anticipate the great deposits of the substance we call oil. because the backyard replaced into the epitome of perfection, it stands to reason that the decomposition of the earth’s maximum ideal and luxury organic and organic resources could produce large shops of the earth’s surprising oil. people have hunted for the backyard of Eden for hundreds of ye! ars to no avail. there are multiple places that people declare! to be the unique region of the backyard of Eden, yet we are able to't be positive. What got here about to the backyard of Eden? The Bible does no longer extraordinarily say. that is in all probability that the backyard of Eden replaced into thoroughly destroyed contained in the Flood or that it lies decomposing into oil buried under centuries of sand deposits....Show more

Janita Tetlow: If all modern technology really is all taken away in Heaven, then a kid who'se always wanted to drive a Ferrari but never had the chance to, will never get to in Heaven........

Estrella Northway: Words without feelings behind them are just so much noise.

Maria Bengston: who knows could be nice

Cliff Jacoby: Alarming.

Will Camus: .:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men - Though I should be able to speak all the languages which are spoken by people. To speak foreign languages was regarded then, as it is now, as a rare and valuable endowment; compare Virgil, ! Aeneas vi. 625ff. The word “I” here is used in a popular sense, and the apostle designs to illustrate, as he often does, his idea by a reference to himself, which, it is evident, he wishes to be understood as applying to those whom he addressed. It is evident that among the Corinthians the power of speaking a foreign language was regarded as a signally valuable endowment; and there can be no doubt that some of the leaders in that church valued themselves especially on it; see 1 Cor. 14. To correct this, and to show them that all this would be vain without love, and to induce them, therefore, to seek for love as a more valuable endowment, was the design of the apostle in this passage. Of this verse Dr. Bloomfield, than whom, perhaps, there is no living man better qualified to give such an opinion, remarks, that “it would be difficult to find a finer passage than this in the writings of Demosthenes himself.”And of angels - The language of angels; such as they speak. W! ere I endowed with the faculty of eloquence and persuasion which we att! ribute to them; and the power of speaking to any of the human family with the power which they have. The language of angels here seems to be used to denote the highest power of using language, or of the most elevated faculty of eloquence and speech. It is evidently derived from the idea that the angels are “superior” in all respects to human beings; that they must have endowments in advance of all which man can have. It may possibly have reference to the idea that they must have some mode of communicating their ideas one to another, and that this dialect or mode must be far superior to that which is employed by man. Man is imperfect. All his modes of communication are defective. We attribute to the angels the idea of perfection; and the idea here is, that even though a man had a far higher faculty of speaking languages than would be included in the endowment of speaking all the languages of human beings as people speak them, and even had the higher and more perfect mode! of utterance which the angels have, and yet were destitute of love, all would be nothing. It is possible that Paul may have some allusion here to what he refers to in 2Co_12:4, where he says that when he was caught up into paradise, he heard unspeakable words which it was not possible for a man to utter. To this higher, purer language of heaven he may refer here by the language of the angels. It was not with him mere “conjecture” of what that language might be; it was language which he had been permitted himself to hear. Of that scene he would refain a most deep and tender recollection; and to that language he now refers, by saying that even that elevated language would be valueless to a creature if there were not love..

Bernadette Roel: If you don't love, there is nothing you can do that is really holy. All the speaking in tongues etc is nothing but noise. You have to follow Gods command to love each other.

Torrie Weissenbach: Love is superior to spiritual! gifts in and of themselves.Though I speak with the tongues of men and ! of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.a. The Corinthians were enamored with spiritual gifts, particularly the gift of tongues. Paul reminds them even the gift of tongues is meaningless without love. Without love, a person may speak with the gift of tongues, but it is as meaningless as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. It is nothing but empty noise.i. “People of little religion are always noisy; he who has not the love of God and man filling his heart is like an empty wagon coming violently down a hill: it makes a great noise, because there is nothing in it.” (Josiah Gregory, cited in Clarke)b. Tongues of men and of angels: The Greek word translated tongues has the simple idea of “languages” in some places (Acts 2:11; Revelation 5:9). This ha! s led some to say the gift of tongues is simply the ability to communicate the gospel in other languages; it is the capability of learning languages quickly. But the way tongues is used here shows it can, and usually does, refer to a supernatural language by which a believer communicates to God. There is no other way the reference to tongues of . . . angels can be understood.Read the rest in this commentaryhttp://www.blueletterbible.org/commentaries/comm_v...

Dana Russian: in some ways innocence is best....just think no bills, no pollution, no fighting....we will find out...

Tijuana Tatsak: Yes indeed. However, he is sorry now so that makes all the difference. The Catholics have always lied to get out of stuff they do. I think its a rule.

Benita Nancy: My Roman Polanski? Sorry, I don't have one - I swapped mine for a Ridley Scott.Well, he should be accountable for his actions, but equally his accusers must do so properly. I don't pretend to know enou! gh about the case to know the rights and wrongs of it.

Bo Perham:! You'll lose all that when you die, whether or not Heaven exists.

Silvia Stclair: Is it not a victory for those who believe in not being accountable for one's actions and doing whatever one feels like?Watching to mirror, Ann?

Flor Lizardi: OUR Roman Polanski? Huh? I'm Atheist, not a band wagon atheist, and I think he should serve time for what he did.

Eulah Hugill: I honestly believe that when you mature you will see that true and deep meaning in life comes through relationships not through technology. Truth is in heaven all persons will be enjoying life in the way we were originally designed to enjoy it, no suffering, no pain, no disease, no war. If it actually takes some gadget of modern technology for someone to enjoy life I am quite sure God will provide it.

Sylvie Snetting: Good to see you're using a different news source to Fox. And no, atheists are not all morally bankrupt, evil people who believe they shouldn't be responsible for their acti! ons. How about we talk about the catholic church, who protects it's most evil from the repercussions of their sexual discrepancies while we're on the subject?

Jana Sakasegawa: Bullcrap. You're spreading half-truths and outright lies. And you're doing it about Fr. Groeschel, a man whose vomit you are not worthy to clean.Yes, you need to be speechless.

Donny Bankson: "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." (New International Version)

Madlyn Fallis: The verdict tells us that 13 year olds are on the menu. Where was the trial held, Switzerland? And their the police guards at the Vatican, it is all clear to me now, He was only following the leads of his church. And the movie lead will be played by Kevin Bacon, it all comes back to Kevin.

Arlene Maycumber: It's the Catholic Church that likes to fondle little boys and girls. Polanski is just one person, and just because he is ! Jewish, it does not correlate to Atheists at all. You surely are a trol! l.

Mercedez Trabue: the garden of eden was created as a paradise for man and woman and all the animals of the earth which lived in harmony with each other.there was no need for work b/c food was very ample and they were clothed with the glory of Godyou are assuming that man did not have any job to do and they just sat around all day.man was to dominate the earth and manage it.man gave names to all the animals, birds and fishesyou are assuming that man would not develop any technologyman had the wisdom to name the animals and birds and fishes which are so advanced that even I as a biologist would not have dreamed up so many consistent and appropros names for the animals and birdsdo you not think that he would have been able to develop high tech in a rapid series of events.you see the evolution of invention through time like the cave man days b/c man was put out of the garden of edenif man had stayed in the garden of eden, he had the knowledge of God built in and would ! have been able to tap into that resource of knowledge and he would have invented all of the known inventions within probably 10 years.instead of all of the defunct foolish and rudimentary inventions, he would have leapfrogged over everything that it would boggle your imagination.just think, he had the knowledge of God and would have been in the garden of eden and would have been able to build the space shuttle in 20 years or less.that is how you should be thinking.you need to lose your pessimistic attitude and think of the optimistic possibilities. and then, maybe, God would enlighten your understanding of just how majestic and mighty God truly is....Show more

Willie Tun: Never thought of it that way. I guess I would have to agree I'm not one to go camping, backpacking, fishing, hunting etc.. Plus they didn't even have concrete!!! How you supposed to make a kickass pool to skate in without it?

Lyman Gauld: Don't wrack your brain over it. The garden of eden is o! nly a fable.

Sammy Hatzenbihler: Back then it didn't exist. You ! wouldn't have known about it and therefore you wouldn't have missed it. Heaven is nothing like this earth. Those who are saved will have a mansion of their own but not the kind like on earth. We will not need electricity, games, etc. Read the Bible and find out more... God enabled humans to develop these things. It's in the Bible.

Armando Somes: As Mother Nature, a beautiful, natural garden or park is the Garden of Eden for me. Hum, possibly heaven will be different for each of us. It may consist of the things we love best.

Jade Ohno: um...no. in heaven it will be so nice we wont even THINK OF WANTING the technology. isnt the point of technology to help us and keep us busy? well, in heaven we wont need to be kept busy or helped out because Jesus will be there and everything will be perfect. even if there is technology in heaven, who told you God cant make it appear whenever you want??

Georgina Natal: 2/3 = 0.666 ... to infinity of "nothing" yetbet! ter is only 2/3 of good --> better --> bestso never let it rest till good gets betterand better for some gets best for allof these "three": faith --> hope --> charity, onlywhen perfect: charity: is it never fail: 13:8,10,11which requires putting away child-ish sides warspart-iality is not (yet) perfect-ion: 13:10 (Luke 13:32),not even if your part of their part vs your part: 1Pet 4:14we only faith + hope for what we don't (yet) have: never failso put on charity (thinketh no evil to forgive) above 7 law things:- forgiving one another- forbearing one another- longsuffering- meekness- humbleness of mind- kindness- bowels of merciesColossians 3:1-3 and 12-15.

Kandi Lough: I am sorry you have such a shallow life. There is much more them games to have a great life. Can all that tech. bring an end to death and sickness to really give meaning to life. God can and will. That is what the garden did not have is all the thing that bring sorry to man today.

Benita Nancy: No ! matter how many gifts of the Spirit you may have they are nothing compa! red to the power of love.

Booker Warlick: Nothing is worth anything without love. Without love speaking and doing is nothing at all. For love is worth doing all things, but without it nothing is anything at all.bless you.In other words what we do is nothing unless we do it in love.take care.

Leticia Laiben: If your speaking to someone harshly and without love, what your saying has no effect. Like a glass breaking or a "clanging cymbal."

Lanita Reichman: Considering that the 2004 John Jay Report commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) concluded that only 6% of all priests against whom allegations were made had been convicted and about 2% sentenced to prison at the date of the report, it's not surprising. What is surprising is the grounds - the US refused to provide the testimony of the attorney general at the original trial.How this becomes an atheist/christian issue is beyond me.

Zulema Baccam: So what if you took just one mi! nute to think about whether or not all of these technological advances are here only to steer you way from true happiness, happiness that you can have without all of these things?

Tatiana Evanosky: What does this one man's escuses for his deplorable actions have to do with "The Catholic Church" being "evil". If he was a Senator instead of a priest, would you conclude that the U.S. Government is "evil"?? There are sinners in every organization. Does that mean that all organizations are inherently evil? But wait! There are sinners that don't belong to any organizations, too! Could your comments possibye reveal an underlying bigotry on your part?

Barton Sease: absolutely everyone could be a infant molester and we will not even blame celibacy as an excuse for such act. even whilst such regulation replaced into ! no longer around yet priest do this to their followers using fact of hu! man weak spot and the main considerable reason, the devil. yet from all and sundry why a clergyman for that count number? How do you anticipate to take heed to sermons approximately morality from him? Will you have confidence your babies around them for even a minute? once you're kneeling and praying which comprise your eyes close, are you particular he's no longer finding down at your breast and imagining something else. a spiritual chief could desire to be harmless like the God he represents or could besides get out of priesthood in case you may no longer administration your urges. Wolves interior the pulpit, pay attention! If i'm going to capture one interior the act, i'm no longer able to think of two times if he's a clergyman or no longer.

Ardelia Liptow: Our Roman Polanski?I think it's funny how conservatives are so anti-hollywood but one of their favorite presidents was Reagan, an actor, and they love Palin, a news broadcaster

Anton Waln: Shayatin

K! ristina Brockwell: Just noise. Nothing more than noise.

Salvatore Walls: That priest is adding insult to injury- which is despicable.

Armanda Hertel: You really don't have a clue.First off, the Garden of Eden and Heaven are 2 seperate places.Heaven is all about Jesus, and if one doesn't have a personal relationsip with HIM then they won't see heaven....Show more

Gregory Dilg: Huffington post is full of Bull-poop.I'm not catholic, but majority of priests are not pedophiles, and only a small amount are; I believe there's probably almost an equal amount of catholic pedophiles as there are Muslim pedophiles.I think they are just picking and choosing his words.Quite a few teens (who know what sex is) probably would seek it from someone as old.

Arnulfo Seegars: Lets pray for all the children who are in the Roman Catholic churchNo sane parent would let her child anywhere near catholic priests

Emeline Albracht: Why would an atheist be pleased about it?! I'm not sure what to think about it, to be honest. If he did it, he des! erves the sharp end of American Justice. But the prosecution did some shady stuff, the judge seemed to be pandering to the media...these things are never as cut and dry as people would have you believe.

Elsie Resner: How evil can the catholic church can be? I am speechless and totally disgusted!

Sharie Sommerville: A person can have just about every gift the Holy Ghost gives, but if they do not have love, they are just a person making noise. The gifts come without repentence - Jesus give them liberally, as a way for His people to serve Him and edify the church and the believers; however, a person can be very gifted and have no compassion, character or love. Jesus wants us to have the compassion and character as well as the gifts.

Marcia Cheathan: It is digusting, however the articles title says teens. I'm not gonna watch the video because I know the RCC, as well as many other sick individuals in this world have taken advantage of children. Some "teens" ! are smarter than what you give them credit for, and they use it.

Whitley Leopold: Antie pantie is right.
