At that time, God dealt directly with his people. If they broke his laws they were punished. Each crime had a proper punishment.

The Bible tells us to abstain from blood. With the Jehovah's Witnesses involvement in the medical field, there has been much progress made in finding alternatives to blood transfusions. We love our children but we do believe in doing God's will.

Abortion is taking a human life. Cloning is wrong because only God creates beings. I don't know enough about stem cell research to make a comment about it yet.
Sadly . . . what you do claim to know says far more about what you "don't know enough about" than do your claims. May God forgive you for what you do not know . . . but think you know. The ignorance incorporated into what you "think you know enough about" is extremely dangerous. God bless.

That seems to be your pat answer for most questions.

That was not the question I was asking or issue of that little story.

If you think I do believe in dragons and will not allow that they might exist then why should we believe in your impossible creatures?

Reciprocity is fair play and you can hide in fantasy but will not allow others the same.

We are so far apart we will never be able to communicate any better than you have done with others.

I can only suggest that you follow your Bibles advise and sit at the back of the church, shut up and take advise from the men.

Come and find me if you ever grow up child.

So there IS something that your god can't do after all?
Go look at the scripture I just posted.
Snakes and Donkeys exist.

There is much I don't know, naturally but what have I said on these forums that you think I don't know about?

Of course I worship God.

If you choose to believe in dragons, that's your choice.

Yet another pathetic dodge to avoid the question put to you. I didn't ask you if snakes and donkeys exist, I already know that they do. I asked you why you believed in the existence of talking snakes and talking donkeys but not in dragons.

Please at least make an attempt at answering the questions that are being put to you.

I think she already gave you the stock answer for this one......God can make them talk if he wants to.
Of course, that may have been in answer to something else.......it fits almost any question

Unfortunately....this is the STOCK answer you get from most when they have no explanation. It's rather sad that they have to resort to this...I would much rather they look at the issues we present with their minds fully open instead of with their biblical blinders firmly in place.

Until you want to promise everlasting life in a 'heavenly' type place, tell them by praying that they might get whatever they ask for (Of course that's a might, but that doesn't seem to faze them) there's not a lot of chance they'll willingly remove those blinders.
Hope springs eternal when thinking you'll get something given to you rather than having to work for it yourself.
