May dear neighbors, friends, and brethren have a blessedly wonderful 2008th year since the birth of our LORD Jesus Christ as the Messiah ...
... by being hungrier:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.cardiology/msg/f891e617d10bd689?
Hunger is wonderful ! ! !
It's how we know what GOD desires, which is all that is good.
Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve paid for with their and our immortal lives.
"Blessed are you who hunger NOW...
... for you will be satisfied." -- LORD Jesus Christ (Luke 6:21)
Amen.
Here is a Spirit-guided exegesis of Luke 6:21 given in hopes of promoting much greater understanding:

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be healthier...

J A - 21 Jun 2008 15:03 GMT For centuries scholars have noticed the errors and contradictions in the Bible. However, since over most of that time, the church authorities had the power to silence, torture and kill anyone raising inconvenient questions, Christian mankind spent many centuries not hearing any challenge about what they're being told by religious authorities.
One interesting facet of the personality of Jesus the "great healer", is that he didn't care to help non-Jews. In Matthew 15:21 -- 28, a Canaanite woman begs him to perform an exorcism and he tells her he doesn't want to waste his energy on a non-Jew. He finally does perform the exorcism, after his disciples and the woman continued to plead with him. What would you think of a medical doctor who had to be begged to treat a person outside his own religious or ethnic group?

Answer me this, does god know all things? Did god create the earth and life? Does god play a part in the events of life on earth? Does god have a plan? If god has this plan, how do you know what it is? Is the bible the word of god? Is the bible an actual record of god? Is the bible an actual record of events? Is god a trinity or a single being in a family? Is god male or female? Is jesus god? Is the earth only as old as the bible says? Does prayer work? Are prayers answered? How many people came to see jesus shortly after the birth? Was jesus in a manger still or someplace else? Why didn't jesus author writings? If jesus did author writings where are they? How long did jesus stay in the grave? Why are the customs of christianity so different from the events they are supposed to represent?

This simply shows that you continue to be guided by the spirit of error (self) so that the Holy Spirit is absolutely right to convict you:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.cardiology/msg/1b584f9c6852c5fd?
However, a Spirit-guided understanding of the following passage of the Bible helps the discerning answer the following truthful version of the question you asked:
Did Balaam's donkey have a soul?
*** begin Numbers 22:21-33 ***
Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the princes of Moab. But GOD was very angry when he went, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat her to get her back on the road. Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path between two vineyards, with walls on both sides. When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against it. So he beat her again. Then the angel of the LORD moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat her with his staff.
Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?"
Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now."
The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?"
"No," he said.
Then the LORD opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.
The angel of the LORD asked him, "Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me. The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared her."
*** end Scripture reading ***
May GOD continue to bless the writing of His word in these usenet newsgroups, in Jesus' awesome name.
Amen.
A Spirit-guided comment about Numbers 22:21-33:
Balaam's donkey had a soul that could have been slain by the angel of the LORD.
Moreover, even Balaam's donkey knew not to fear humans who can kill the body and do nothing more but instead she feared GOD, Who can kill both body **and** soul.
"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." -- LORD Jesus Christ (Matthew 10:28)
Amen.
May you be wiser than Balaam's donkey by choosing to repent by publicly declaring with your mouth that "Jesus is LORD:"

Answer me this, does god know all things? Did god create the earth and life? Does god play a part in the events of life on earth? Does god have a plan? If god has this plan, how do you know what it is? Is the bible the word of god? Is the bible an actual record of god? Is the bible an actual record of events? Is god a trinity or a single being in a family? Is god male or female? Is jesus god? Is the earth only as old as the bible says? Does prayer work? Are prayers answered? How many people came to see jesus shortly after the birth? Was jesus in a manger still or someplace else? Why didn't jesus author writings? If jesus did author writings where are they? How long did jesus stay in the grave? Why are the customs of christianity so different from the events they are supposed to represent?

> How long did jesus stay in the grave? Jesus' body was in its earthly tomb for 3 days and 2 nights.
Jesus' soul was in hell for 3 days and 3 nights preaching to the eternally condemned.
It was not until Jesus' body and soul were reunited in hell that the Messiah took the keys to death and hell from the devil thereby taking all worldly power and authority from satan.
This is the same worldly power and authority that the devil offered Jesus if He would bow down to worship satan.
> Why are the customs of christianity so different from the events they are > supposed to represent? Christianity has no customs because it is not a religion but rather a personal relationship with the risen LORD Jesus Christ.
Because each person is different, each personal relationship will necessarily be different.
When there are shared rituals, people are following each other rather than having a personal walk with Jesus. In the extreme case of religion with its rituals there are cults.

This is why it is written that GOD's one day is like a thousand years for us.
This means GOD's one day is way beyond our lifespan...

Therefore, GOD's one day is beyond worldly understanding.

GOD is always right.
You will always be wrong without GOD.
May the following passage from 2 Peter 2 help promote greater understanding:
For if GOD did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; if HE did not spare the ancient world when HE brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; if HE condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if HE rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— if this is so, then the LORD knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings; yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the LORD. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you. With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood! They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness. But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—a beast without speech—who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud." (2 Peter 2:4-22)

This means GOD's one day is way beyond our lifespan...
... even the lifespan of the early humans in Noah's time.
(You) Therefore, GOD's one day is beyond worldly understanding. (me) It's very easyr to understand. A day is a 24 hour period of time. The idea of god being non-temporal is that it is eternal, it does not end. The phrase has no relation to a day unit of measure or a year unit of measure. Your just confused.

Just as Jesus has no earthly father, we, who are Christians (either Jew or gentile) have no heavenly mother.
You are invited to our wedding but you will have to be dressed appropriately (robes washed white by the blood of the Lamb) or you will be thrown out.
(me) Ok, so the god dude is male...... no heavenly mother...........does that mean an asexual birth? What kind of robe? Blood stains, it will be kind brownish red. What there are bouncers at the wedding?

Instead, you remain pathologically untruthful. (me) Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. Thats a start. Genesis 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
So we start with a seven day period of time, Adam lives 930 years..........there are a whole lot more. In fact you can google and find very nice christian sites that spells out just how old the earth is.

It remains clear to the discerning that Balaam's donkey was alive and had free will because she freely chose to fear GOD instead of fearing physical injury/death under the rod of Balaam.

Love is the lifeblood of a soul.
Just as blood is proof of body, love is proof of soul.
Truth is simple.
May we, who are Christians (either Jew or gentile), continue to pray for your perishing soul, dear Adonis:

We have a body and a mind. The Hebrew word that translated to soul is nephesh means animal, a breathing creature. In the Greek psuche, means the multiple things, your breath, your mind, your life, us, you; it depends on the context the word is used. Your donkey story coming out of the OT would be translated from the Hebrew language, so the translated word means a breathing creature i.e. it's alive.

As I said - I don't need a heretic who doesn't even belong to the only religion the christ started to pray for me - when you won't be saved yourself.
Your god is would not have started his church unless he wanted you to belong to it and would be discerning enough to eliminate YOU from consideration.

Such is the perpetual state of all who are guided by the spirit of error (self).
This simply shows that the Holy Spirit is absolutely right to convict you:

Answer me this, does god know all things? Did god create the earth and life? Does god play a part in the events of life on earth? Does god have a plan? If god has this plan, how do you know what it is? Is the bible the word of god? Is the bible an actual record of god? Is the bible an actual record of events? Is god a trinity or a single being in a family? Is god male or female? Is jesus god? Is the earth only as old as the bible says? Does prayer work? Are prayers answered? How many people came to see jesus shortly after the birth? Was jesus in a manger still or someplace else? Why didn't jesus author writings? If jesus did author writings where are they? How long did jesus stay in the grave? Why are the customs of christianity so different from the events they are supposed to represent?
I'll stop here, you answer these and well move forward.

Free will is the ability to make a choice of options with similar results.
Your god is not allowing you that.
WHat he is saying is - chose my side or I will punish you completely and eternally. That is not FREEDOM of choice - that is coercion. Your freedom of choice is a fraud. That is the equivalent of holding a gun to your head.
OF course - since your god is also the creator of all evil - it may be possible that he PREFERS you do evil rather than good - since you have no way of knowing.

Since you have never been able to prove with verifiable evidence the existence of your god - then your claim is that something that does not exist is the source of you knowledge.
That would explain the empty head.
Don Kirkman - 22 Jun 2008 20:49 GMT It seems to me I heard somewhere that Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD wrote in article <80eca678-9f27-4b76-a0b4-584933bd9da4@25g2000hsx.googlegroups.com>:

>> The bible does not say. It does not mention the local town folk. So what are the >> Magi?
>Men from the east (China), who were much smarter than King Herod >because it was their choice to receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit >in everything they said and did: From the vicinity of modern Iran. The Biblical Magi were astronomers/astrologers (not kings) looking for signs in the stars. If they came seeking the baby Jesus they probably arrived a couple of years after the birth, long after Jesus and his parents left Bethlehem.
"The Magi (singular Magus, from Latin, via Greek µ???? ; Old English: Mage; from Persian magu? and Kurdish mâgî) were a tribe from ancient Media[1], who ? prior to the establishment the Achaemenid Empire in 550 BC ? were responsible for religious and funerary practices of the ancient Iranian peoples.
"Later they accepted the Zoroastrian religion and developed it into Zurvanism, which would become the predominant form of Zoroastrianism during the Sassanid era (AD 226?650). No traces of Zurvanism exist beyond the 10th century. In English, the term may refer to a shaman, sorcerer or wizard; it is the origin of the words magic and magician." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magi
"Chinese Language "Victor H. Mair provides archaeological and linguistic evidence suggesting that Chinese wu (? "shaman; witch, wizard; magician", Old Chinese *myag) was a loanword from Old Persian *magu? "magician; magi".[10] He describes:
"The recent discovery at an early Chou site of two figurines with unmistakably Caucasoid or Europoid feature is startling prima facie evidence of East-West interaction during the first half of the first millennium Before the Current Era. It is especially interesting that one of the figurines bears on the top of his head the clearly incised graph ? which identifies him as a wu (< *myag).]" [Ibid]
>"When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was >furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its >vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time >he had learned from the Magi." (Matthew 2:16)
>> >> Was jesus in a manger still or someplace else?
>> > Often in Mary's arms. It is to laugh. :-)

>The house (inn) had a vacancy the following day. It just did not have >any vacancy on the night that Jesus was born. Chung has read the inn register, so what he writes must be true.
In that culture the animals were sometimes kept in a place within the house.

He had no scribes, but several fishermen, a tax collector, and assorted others as his chosen followers. One of them might have been a radical, a revolutionary or an insurrectionist, according to some interpretations. He himself was said to have been a builder.
The Biblical scribes, associates of the Pharisees, were the guardians of the Jewish writings for the temple and the synagogues, not historians. They generally were among those opposing Jesus.

If kings had scribes - and the christ had them too =- where are the documents - Andrew?
Surely - they would have been kept as the holiest of things - and protected to the death.
Gee - not even a mention of them in your bible - not ONE. No mention of scribes following your christ around. No mention of documents from scribes - nothing.
Most of the quotes of the christ from the bible are from Paul and Luke - two people who NEVER saw the christ in life - when he would have said the things THEY quoted.
If your god is so almighty and so all-knowing - Why was he so all stupid as to not leave behind PROOF of his words. Why did he only reveal himself to his followers (Brethren) and apostles after he supposedly rose from the dead? For that matter - why was NO ONE THERE when that happened. Why did he not appear in front of the Temple in Jerusalem as a spectacle for all to see - or in front of Herod or Pilate? He was god - why not in front of Caesar - imagine how that would have spread around the world.
Yet - it didn't. There is not ONE record of the christ in life in the historical record of HIS time. (Or for that matter - moses too - moses performed showier miracles than the christ did). THe Greeks were prolific writers - documented WONDERS of the world - yet the escapades of the christ are never mentioned until CENTURIES later - and as Myth.
As I have shown before - your god - the creator of evil - is just another god made in the image and likeness of man - right down to his Blonde Hair and Blue Eyed Arian form. And YOU cannot prove the bible is anything but fiction - so you also cannot prove your god ever existed.
You don't belong to his church - and you pick and choose what you want your religion to be.
