One could argue that the people who made the vaccines made up the evidence "proving" the vaccines don't cause autism and disbarred the doctor who made the claim to cover it up. I'm not necessarily saying they did-but the motive is there, I mean seriously how many billions does the pharmaceutical companies make every year? And how much money they would lose if just one of their vaccines was shown to cause autism? Human greed knows no bounds. Those people making those vaccines are just as greedy as anyone else, they don't give the slightest care about your health-other then they can make a buck off of it.

Most Christians are familiar with the teaching that we are not under law but under grace. Galatians 3:24-25 (KJV) 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. But! That does not mean we are antinomianists (lawless). 1 Corinthians 9:19-21 (NASB95) 19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law; 21 to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law. Christians are not under the law of Moses but are under the law of God: the law of Christ. This shows up in scripture far more often than we realize. Remembering: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proverbs 25:2 (NASB95) 2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Deuteronomy 29:29 (NASB95) 29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law. Isaiah 28:9-14 (KJV) 9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. 14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meaning there are clues, prophetic hints that may not yet apply under the old covenant that will apply in the new (none of which draw the stark contrast between laws as in): Jeremiah 31:31-34 (KJV) 31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 N O T according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put MY LAW in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now notices all the subtle references to the law other than the law of Moses: Exodus 16:4 (KJV) 4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. 2 Chronicles 6:16 (KJV) 16 Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. Psalm 78:1 (KJV) 1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. Psalm 89:30 (KJV) 30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; Proverbs 3:1 (KJV) 1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: Proverbs 4:2 (KJV) 2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. Proverbs 7:2 (KJV) 2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Isaiah 51:7 (KJV) 7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. Jeremiah 6:19 (KJV) 19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. Jeremiah 9:13 (KJV) 13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; Jeremiah 16:11 (KJV) 11 Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; Jeremiah 26:4 (KJV) 4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you, Jeremiah 31:33 (KJV) 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 44:10 (KJV) 10 They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers. Ezekiel 22:26 (KJV) 26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Hosea 8:1 (KJV) 1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. Hosea 8:12 (KJV) 12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. Joshua 24:26 (KJV) 26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD. Nehemiah 8:8 (KJV) 8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. Nehemiah 8:18 (KJV) 18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner. Nehemiah 10:28 (KJV) 28 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding; Romans 7:22 (KJV) 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: Romans 7:25 (KJV) 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 8:7 (KJV) 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 1 Corinthians 9:21 (NASB95) 21 to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law. Galatians 6:2 (KJV) 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Nehemiah 10:29 (KJV) 29 They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God’s law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- God's Law which was given through Moses... does not mean just the Law of Moses as Jeremiah 31:32 and 1 Corinthians 9:20-21 make clear. In fact at many points the line between the two is quite blurred and this is no problem for God because in the righteousness of Christ imputed to our account... our faith in him fulfills the Law of Moses by his righteousness and by the overall purpose of the Law of Moses which was to drive us to faith in Christ. Think of it as the Law of Moses is like the law of gravity while the Law of Christ is like the law of aerodynamics.

The Culture’s War on Women Miley Cyrus is a child of her heedlessly decadent times. By JANICE SHAW CROUSE on 8.28.13 @ 6:08AM Robert Frost’s poem “Mending Wall” describes two neighbors who meet every spring to walk the fence dividing their properties. After a hard winter, damage has to be assessed and repaired. Perhaps, after Miley Cyrus’ controversial and crass performance at the VMA awards, it is time to assess today’s culture and seriously consider how to repair the damage to the nation’s girls and women. The objectification and exploitation of women — as seen in all its crudity in Cyrus’s performance — is a wake-up call for us all. Is that what women really want? Is that what any of us really want? But isn’t that the inevitable result of our anything-goes, sex-and-drugs saturated culture? Since the early ’60s, our nation has been experiencing a harsh cultural winter. Howling winds of change — insidious myths and outright falsehoods — have undermined and torn apart the faith, values, and morality that have held together a diverse and multicultural people. Those myths — those attacks — those falsehoods — by those who present themselves as champions of women’s rights constitute a very real “war on women.” It is a senseless war of promoting casual sex: spreading the myth that women don’t need marriage, pushing a culture climate that objectifies and exploits our girls and implementing public policies that inevitably lead to women being the majority of those in poverty. That war against women has loosened and upended many of the foundation stones of Judeo-Christian principles. Primary among those huge boulders crashing into the culture are: casual sex, cohabitation, and the collapse of marriage. Conventional wisdom says that if you tell a lie often enough, people will begin to believe it. The mantra, heard from middle school onward, is that… sex is great recreation… it’s free and fun. Sadly, many girls don’t recognize the lie until it’s too late. Start sexual activity in your early teens, and you’re likely to have more than a dozen partners (four times higher than those who begin sexual activity in their early twenties). Further, girls who are sexually active in their early teens are twice as likely to get an STD and about 40 percent will become pregnant. According to Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician and author, “Almost half of all girls are likely to become infected with an STD during their very first sexual experience.” Girls are far more susceptible to STDs than guys because of the biology of the cervix. And, a report, The Cost of Free Love, from Concerned Women for America (CWA), documents the fact that there are now some 49 different STDS. There is no escaping the fact that we are in the midst of an STD epidemic with more than 20 million new STD cases every year — the majority of them affecting 15-25 year olds — triple the number just six years ago. These inconvenient facts go unreported and supposedly responsible adults still encourage early sexual activity for girls. Even less discussed are the psychological and emotional problems associated with early sexual activity. Only one-third of girls who had early sexual activity describe themselves as “happy” as compared with over half among those who waited. More than a quarter of sexually active girls report depression. Sexually active girls are three times more likely to commit suicide. The bottom line is that 72 percent of girls who are sexually active admit they desperately wish they had waited. As Dr. Miriam Grossman warns in her book, Unprotected, women are hard-wired to attach through sexual behavior and no condom will protect them from the psychological consequences of sexual permissiveness — empty relationships, feelings of self-contempt and worthlessness, even depression. Students at Yale University have a sad term for it now — SWUG-Nation — Senior Washed-Up Girls. The Yale Daily News quoted one of them: “Whatever empowerment we’re supposed to be deriving from this version of the feminist movement is looking pretty thin on the ground.” The harsh realities of casual, drunken sex should make the choice of abstinence very simple and uncomplicated. If there were more honest discussion of the pain caused by promiscuity, the market value of virginity would dramatically increase. In addition, the trend to cohabit instead of marrying produces at least two opposite problems. Couples are delaying marriage beyond the time when the woman can have children — resulting in record levels of infertility (a heartbreak for millions). Numerous other couples are having children without the benefit of marriage. A quarter of women who cohabited before the age of 20 have a child — leading to record levels of single-mothers, record levels of poverty and record levels needing government assistance. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that almost HALF of all women are living with a man they are not married to. That number is a sharp increase from 43 percent in 2002 and 35 percent in 1995. In the absence of real-life husbands and fathers, the government is becoming the father in too many families - though not a very effective one. Today, record numbers of Americans are dependent upon government assistance to survive and almost half of Americans are “one crisis” away from the “bread line.” Personal wages, at barely over 50 percent, account for the lowest share of income since the government began tracking the data in 1929. We’ve tried fixing our economic problems with government solutions, perhaps it’s time to look at root causes. In 2009, Caitlin Flanigan, in a Time magazine cover story, wrote, “There is no other single force causing as much measurable hardship and human misery in this country as the collapse of marriage.” If you visit the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, you’ll see a bronze sculpture of a woman with three children playing around her. Called “Happy Mother,” the sculpture amounts to a celebration of fatherlessness. Put simply, since the 1960s, American elites have vigorously promoted the myth that women don’t need marriage, with the result that marriage rates are now half what they were in 1969. Only 21 percent of Millennials (those young adults ages 18-29) are married. According to the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, the average age of marriage for women is now 27 years old and 29 years old for men, up from 23 and 26 in 1990. Still, despite the ideological onslaught’s effect on our values, Pew Research reports that more than 60 percent of young adults want to get married. But couples today think they have to have an expensive ring, extravagant wedding, a house, a car and… the list goes on and on. While materialism and ambition are certainly factors in the decline of marriage, another factor is monumentally important: today’s young people have few role models of happy, healthy marriage. Dr. Neil Clarke Warren, founder of an Internet Matching service, interviewed 500 couples, asking them to tell him about marriages they admired. Nearly half could not recommend even a single healthy happy marriage. But the trends are not just statistics; there are personal stories associated with every data point. In their book, Premarital Sex in America, Mark Regnerus and Jeremy Uecker describe “sex scripts” — stories prevalent in the popular culture that shape attitudes. The authors make the case that women are disproportionately harmed by these cultural scripts that denigrate marriage. Women don’t see sex and marriage necessarily linked together any longer. Therein lies the harm: The girls and women, in Regnerus’s economic terms — are trading their most valuable commodity and getting nothing in return … except, of course, heartache, disease, infertility, and poverty. Having a baby out of wedlock means a 50-50 chance that a woman and her children will end up in poverty. Having a second child out of wedlock raises the likelihood of ending up in poverty to more than 60 percent. This assessment of the fence-lines is clear: We are fast approaching the point of no return in terms of the harms from casual sex, cohabitation, and the growing number of single mothers. Re-establishing the walls of morality, faith, and marriage is no longer something that would be merely nice; it is a vital necessity for the well-being of the nation’s girls and women. Like the neighbors in Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall,” we must lift the heavy boulders — of truth — and put them back in place. We must repair and restore the cultural and public policy boundaries needed to defend our girls and young women against the culture’s pernicious “war on women.”

What does it really mean when people say "this is more then I can bare." I mean most stuff in life we don't have the choice of not bearing it. If something is really more then a person can bear do they just die? Anyone understand what I am talking about?

Assad's appeal to the UN, for one. The lack of support from allies. The huge number of enemy nations on Syria's side. The over-anxiousness of Obama and especially Mr. Vietnam War-Protestor himself (John Kerry) letting his CFR allegiance show too much... The recent evidence that Barack Obama's brother Malik Obama is tied to the Islamic brotherhood... The fact that we did this same crap once before in Iraq (Bush II) and some would say twice before in Iraq (Bush I as well). But the lone ranger for sure in Bush II. What would Assad have to gain from chemical attacking his own people? And would he have allowed such media access to the places he chemical attacked if he did do it? There are too many sources around the world that declare the rebel's in the fight pull these kinds of stunts to play the media like the untruthful whore they are. Obama has no right or authority to act as the world's Police Chief. He can ONLY appeal to the UN and make his case there. Otherwise his interests are not global interests but special interests. Assad should appeal to the UN and accept the terms that if he is found responsible for the chemical attacks he must step down and face war crimes charges. If he is found responsible and refuses to surrender then the UN will lead a force into Syria to bring him down. If he is not found responsible, then the UN will assist him in putting down the rebel faction responsible. Plain and simple.

Yoo really need to post some proof of this 'Syrian government wouldn't gas their own people' nonsense or else stop repeating it. They have killed their own repeatedly and the entire world knows it. Why don't you? I'm sure they have both killed plenty of eachother, thats what happens in a civil war, people kill each other, this do know! I can't post the videos that are being posted of rebels shooting canister weapons, you could easily find them your self if you were actually interested in knowing the truth, but I'm guessing you rather stick to what the mass media wants you to believe, and the propaganda that it uses to sway American opinion Either way neither the rebels or Assads government is good for the people of Syria its a war of two evils, and it wouldn't matter which side we attack it won't help America or the Syrian people

It is rather amazing that you know personally two of the 5000 or so people in the country that acquire GBS each year. My wife is also an RN and she is more committed to us getting the vaccine than ever before. but then again, with 35000 plus people dying a year from the flu, it seems the flu is a much larger danger than GBS What you don't realize is that people don't "die from the flu"; the majority of those who do die after having flu like symptoms are given a diagnosis of flu, but in most cases those people are elderly with many underlying disease process to begin with and their immune system is over taxed because of these disease processes. Such as HIV victims, Cancer victims, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and many thousands of others who already have underlying lung diseases, the list goes on and on. A diagnosis of flu on the hospital medical record is a "catch all" diagnosis that covers many already underlying ailments the patient already has. An elderly person with COPD will most likely have a weak heart and will ultimately die of heart failure even though they presented to the hospital with flu like symptoms. Patients come to the hospital with flu like symptoms all the time who end up having a final diagnosis of pneumonia, or some other form of exacerbation from COPD but are still classified as "the flu" on medical records. This is not factored in when CDC, NHI and other health reporting surveys are carried out. One of my close friends who acquired GBS after the flu shot lives in California and emailed me about it. We have been friends sincve high school. My other close friend attended the same Christian fellowship I did. This was seven year ago for her diagnosis, and she can no longer work because of the residue debilitating effects the disease left her with. I do not believe it is a coincidence that I happen to have two close personal friends who acquired GBS after a flu injection. But amazing, yes. Our God is an amazing God who puts us in the right place at the right time to help others. That is not fact.Many die from the flu every year.See the facts from CDC.Yes,GBS can be acquired but it is very rare.Don't let that be a scare factor in not getting a flu vaccine.We risk our lives everyday by getting in our cars. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/disease.htm http://www.flu.gov/prevention-vaccination/vaccination/# Two good information resources regarding the flu shot.

It was like I was reading my own mind, reading your post, I feel the same way! considering the numerous videos flooding the web showing the rebels shooting a chemical canister weapon, whether its sarin gas we don't know but its well known knowledge that they have chemical weapons, its more likely the rebels to be using them than Assad, either way neither government is one we would like, nor should we be involved in any strike, as such an attack has only negatives in its wake, nothing positive would ever result in a strike against either side

Does the Bible teach geocentrism?No.Nowhere in the Bible are we told that the Earth is the center of the Universe.Scripture is not science but the ultimate test of all truth.I did not see one Bible verse supporting your claim.

Neil, I am not sure what you purpose here is, but I would suggest that here on Christian forum the use of name calling and insults is not really helpful. What you are proposing is a radical change in what most of us believe, thus it will take some extraordinary evidence to change our minds. I would tell you that one and two word answers does not really fit that bill. Perhaps you could cut out the passive aggressive insults and instead just support your position. Just a thought ETA: and maybe a bit about yourself, what your background is, what your training in this area is? It is always helpful to know where a person is coming from

she still does not understand the sin problem

Can you imagine if the Lord commanded someone to do this today? Also, this is a post-Eden time period wherin a prophet is commanded to minister naked. Not even a loin cloth. Therefore, nakedness in itself is not always a sin and is not always immodest. Saul got his kit off too. And David, An ephod, by the way, is pretty much a loin cloth. And here we have another naked prophet. The Bible does not seem to imply that all these were sinning in their immodesty. Perhaps the deterioration in the perception of nudity is in that we perceive the nudity itself to be sinful rather than our reaction to it? These are, dare I say it (lol) provocative points. Interesting verses. Thank you Alpha. I would also venture to point out that the raciest book on the Bible, the Song of Solomon, gives me the impression that finding the opposite sex attractive is not a sin. I think that it becomes lust the moment we contemplate acting on that attraction inappropriately. And it becomes immodesty the moment that we intend to stir thoughts of intercourse with us in others. Clothing alone doesn't make such invitations - body language, and vocal tones can be far more suggestive. Yes,clothing alone does make such invitiations. What I mean is I don't think that clothing is the only thing that makes such invitations. Yes,clothing is probably #1 but their are some other flirtatious gestures that can lure a man.The problem is the many,many women who are walking around everywhere you go with inappropriate apparel. Inappropriate to you . Again, I don't think you should assume a woman is *trying* to 'catch men' or cause problems based on their clothing. It's just something to think about. I don't think that clothing is #1. It's usually just incidental. Unless it's sexy lengere, because that sure isn't designed for comfort. Why do these conversations always end up being about women's clothing? There appears to be three verses in the Bible that directly address modesty, and two of them are talking about jewelry, adornment, gold, pearl, costly array, the kinds of things that would be stupidly expensive in those days. It appears to me that if there is a culture where it is the norm for women to wear only a loin cloth and breast wrap, or no breast wrap at all, and a woman comes among them clothed from head to toe in silk and jewels so not a lick of skin is showing and she holds her head high and rebukes the other women for being immodest then she is actually the immodest one. In an Amish village a woman wearing jeans and t-shirt would be immodest. A NASA Space suit can be made immodest in the wrong context! This verse also uses the word modesty but I'm quite sure that applying it to clothing guidelines would be grossly out of context.

Aliens from other planets that are not from the kingdom of God. Ah, then I don't know. But I am reasonably confident that grey men are not abducting earthlings for experimentation, and our politicians are not lizard men. But if the evidence changed, and it was proven that there is life on other worlds I don't think that would disprove Christianity. God's revelation to humankind about Earth would remain God's revelation to humankind about Earth. I'm sure there's no reason why He couldn't maintain a garden on another planet, or several, if He wanted to.

Their eyes are DEVOLVING slowly. The entire universe is decaying, buddy. Funny, even you say that, here: “Given enough time, they'll probably either vanish, or be able to detect something other than visible light.” In order for your first part to hold true, you'd have to prove that a malformed limb hurt the chances of survival. If it didn't, then it wouldn't stop the creature from procreating. Sure, there are plenty of mutations that hurt creatures, but are you definitively telling me that the beginnings of an eye (that couldn't yet sense light) would get the creature killed? How? Why? Also, your use of the word "devolving" is puzzling. Sure, the fish is losing sight, but it doesn't need sight. Any change is evolution, whether you feel it is going backward or forward. If being more "simple" suddenly made it easier for an organism to survive or procreate, you can bet that would be the direction in which it would change. Evolution isn't change for the sake of some platonic ideal; it's the response of organisms adapting to their environment based on changes in the environment and mutations. How do you know the opposite? We have all sort of evidence that thing have evolved over time. So, when we run into a "hole" in the data, you're claiming that we can't possibly assume the same mechanism is in place. It's like we need to be able to see every single organism since the dawn of life on the planet to be able to prove evolution, and if we have one gap, suddenly the entire idea needs to be thrown out the window. Basically, you're running a God of the gaps argument. The context was the universe, not Earth… The level of entropy in the universe doesn't matter for what is happening on earth. It's quite possible for entropy to behave in one area differently than another when it is getting energy input from a different source. So, if you take your kitchen, for example, and put an ice cube in some water, the ice will eventually melt, and the temperature of the water will get colder, until the temperatures match. Now, pour that water into an ice cube tray, put it in your freezer, and watch the electrical input to the compressor drop the temperature of the water and turn it to ice. When you put energy into a system, it's not isolated. Your freezer doesn't care what is happening in your living room. Even if you have ice cubes melting all over the rest of your house, your freezer is still doing its thing. We talk about evolution in context of the earth, because that's where we can observe it. When you change the subject to the universe, that is you attempting to abuse the second law of thermodynamics. It doesn't work that way, and you're just shifting goal posts to try to keep talking about an isolated system in a system that is not isolated.

I pray that if God grants us a daughter that we will be able to show her a different way than what is portrayed by the media and the culture.

That's crazy I never heard of a church doing that and, as far as I know, none of the churches here where I live, do that. Good thing, too. I'm late to everything. Like first song late, not invitation late.

ahhh its the measles! I have had colds worse than the measles, even food poisoning was worse than the measles, people who get the measles don't usually die from them unless they have some other underlying illness, notice the article mentions 5 of the 21 were vaccinated so it proves vaccines are not 100% effective........honestly people are led to believe you will die from some of these diseases, most of them have a very short duration period, and once its over you have a real lifelong immunity with no need for booster shots.

actually what is proven is the CDC knows full well there is a predisposed amount of children that will have a bad reaction to vaccines, they have no screening process to figure out who these children will be, but they know full well they exist, so its a roll of the dice if your child will be one of these unlucky children that will have a severe lifelong injury, I guess you could factor all the people who don't get measles or mumps, chickenpox and others to justify vaccines being a real good thing, unless your one of the unlucky parents that had a beautiful child who was perfectly healthy and meeting all their milestones, and in one afternoon on a well visit to the doctor their whole life was changed forever personally I think that the whole industry needs to figure out why this occurs, I believe they could be made a lot safer, in many different ways

actually they won't or wouldn't lose any money since congress gave them a get out of jail free card, all vaccines are protected against litigation, if you were injured by a vaccine there is a fund set aside that will pay a minimal amount and that is after the pharmaceutical companies have run you through court for about ten years, lawyers really don't even want to take vaccine injury cases because they are nearly impossible to prove, and the damages have been limited by a deal made with congress , you sign a waiver when you receive a vaccine it covers that you could be injured and even die from the injection, you were duly warned when you signed the waiver and got vaccinated.........how they can have a risk to injure people and still get to be called "safe" I'm not sure, the definition of safe means "without risk of injury" they should be labeled relatively safe, as the pharmaceutical companies already know there will always be a very small portion of people who have a bad reaction, some even die

Well put, Alpha. I know plenty of Christians (my wife, included) who believe in evolution. Evolution doesn't preclude the existence of God in and of itself, but rather, just parts of the two accounts of creationism in Genesis.

~ Torah~! For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18 Torah~! Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12 Torah~! Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Romans 3:19-28 Now How Cool Is That~! For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11

This is very difficult for me to explain since you are a new believer. In Galatians 3:11 it says The just shall live by faith. Not only are we saved by faith, we also walk with Jesus by faith. We trust in what God wrote in the Bible. We listen to and obey God's Holy Spirit. When we become believers in Christ, His Spirit comes to live inside of us. His Spirit is there to explain the Bible to us and also to give us power to live the Christian life. He lives in us all the time, and He is stronger than any demon. That is why the apostles were able to drive out demons in the book of Acts. Jesus protected them and gave them power. The Bible says "greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. 1John 4:4 says "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He Who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. " I met a woman missionary, a widow, who had gone to Africa many years ago with her husband. The people loved her and did not want her to return here after her husband died so she stayed on. She spoke of new Christians who were not afraid of evil spirits because they had no power over those who had received Jesus to come live in them. The Spirit of Jesus protected them and the demons were afraid of Jesus in them. Read Ephesians 6:10-17, Finally, my brethern, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you might be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities , against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. Therefore take up the whose armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. verse 14. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication (begging) in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perserverance and supplication for all the saints-- and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the Gospel" This was Saint Paul asking for Christians to pray for him for the right words with which to preach the Gospel. It is instruction on how to stand against evil to tell others about Jesus. So that is what I would encourage you to do. 1. Ask God to fill you again with His Spirit to empower you to do His will. Pray for strength and wisdom as to how to talk to your friend. 2. Go and tell your friend how Jesus has changed your life. Tell him how Jesus suffered on the cross to deliver him from the power of the evil one as well as from sin and eternal death. And then tell him how Jesus arose from the dead and now sits in heaven beside God our father and is praying for us right now. 3. Tell him that all he has to do is ask Jesus' Holy Spirit to come into his life and live in him, and to ask Jesus to be the one who is his master who directs and manages his life. Then tell him to tell the evil spirit that he doesn't want to listen to him because the evil spirit's master is the father of lies, the devil, and that your friend only wants to listen to Jesus from now on. Then he can tell it to go away and never bother anyone again. While I have prayed for wisdom on how to answer you, I will ask for some people I really respect to also advise you and to correct anything I have said. George is himself a missionary, and Fez lives in South Africa, and others. We are told in Revelations that satan was overcome by the blood of Jesus (when He died on the cross) and by the testamony of the saints. The saints are you and me. Plain people in whom Jesus lives. We are told in Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to ovserve all thing that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. Back to Galatians 3:13 They are talking about how the law is a curse on people. But that Jesus became a curse for us so that we can receive God's favor and blessings. If Jesus took the curse on Himself to free us from it, He has freed you from other curses also. The Bible says in verse 13 that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree [the cross]), that the blessings of Abraham might come upon the gentiles [you and me since we are not Jews] in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the [Holy] Spirit through faith.

Eugenics never went away. Family Planning began as a eugenics movement, the woman who founded it believed that an increase in availability of abortions to the poor would have the natural effect of lowering the birthrates of 'undesirables' such as criminals, ethnic minorities, the mentally ill, and people with naturally unsuccessful traits. It was an act of social engineering born directly out of the eugenics movement. It's really quite bothersome that every kid isn't taught this in school when their class is discussing these social issues.
