Please read Matthew 19, the first 12 verses. Jesus was quoted as saying that marriage was instituted in the Garden of Eden and was between one man and one woman. Between that time and ~30-33 C.E. the definition of marriage changed to include man and wife/wives by man.
Looks to me like Matthew was trying to "redefine traditional marriage!"
Basically yes, Jesus did. A more accurate statement would be "Jesus defined Christian Marriage as the same as the original marriage found in Genesis 2:24."
Genesis doesn't teach evolution. But if there is no life that is like human in the universe to ever be found, by the time that conclusion is conclusively reached, the Bible would be proved wrong. ('The End/Armageddon is nigh' is the relevant paraphrase)
The mother-in-law of my sister-in-law lived in a house near Utica NY and the septic system couldn't handle TP either. There is a story that another of my sisters-in-law visited and directly went to bathroom. Flushed the TP and promptly clogged the system. The men had to go out and dig up frozen ground in Upstate NY winter night just to un-clog the whole sewer system.
Ha ha. I wasn't there, but had a good laugh when I found out about it.
Please read Matthew 19:4,5, I quoted it in my GGP. The relevant part says: Haven’t you read, he replied, that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’
He quotes Genesis 1:27 and 2:24. I guess that a more complete statement would have been 'Matthew 19:4-6 is Jesus' definition of marriage.' And that is what my point was regarding this off-topic theme of same sex marriage, namely, Jesus' view.
What is the difference between unlawful and illegal?
Matthew 19:4-6 is the definition of marriage. Definitions are by definition exclusionary. Marriage means Husband and Wife. In this passage Jesus said both 'male and female' and 'man...united to his wife.'
Strong's definition of Pornea or fornication is found here:Strong 4202 Note def 1a
Jesus used that word in many places, note Mt 19:9 and Mt 15:19
If you have arguments based on the Bible, I will be willing to hear them. Note again that I am not saying you and another woman can't marry. Just that NOWHERE in the Bible does Biblical marriage include same-sex unions.
But as I said before, Jesus didn't get involved in politics. As an example, he didn't say anything about the common morals of the Romans, the secular power of the land in that time.
Therefore, according to WWJD, (what would Jesus do?) in regard to same sex marriage, he would not have got involved, except where "christians" claimed it was ok religiously with his Father.
If you want to really shake a religionist to the core, find an extraterrestrial that doesn't age or die, lives in a paradise/heaven, and knows nothing of the LORD God or ole sweet Jesus. That will break their faith if anything will.
Although he hasn't published the research yet, Sigmund said a variation of the surface also repels oil, a first for the industry.
It also says that the Hydrophobic properties are based on physics alone and not chemistry.
And...
the UF surface may be the most or among the most water phobic. Close-up photographs of water droplets on dime-sized plastic squares show that the droplets maintain their spherical shape, whether standing still or moving. Droplets bulge down on most other surfaces, dragging a kind of tail as they move. Sigmund said his surface is the first to shuttle droplets with no tail.
I have a question. You seem like you might know the answer. Do 'naturally occurring ribozymes' mean that they can arise from chemical reactions not involved with living organisms? Or are they natural in contrast with Artificial ribozymes
Just two days ago I saw a dog with one functioning leg. It was incredibly sad and a little funny at the same time. It didn't seem that he was in pain, but to get around he jumped forward or sideways with its one functioning front leg. the other front leg was held sideways as if in a sling. I so wanted to take a picture or video, but the owner of the dog was facing me the whole time I could have gotten my phone out. The only problem was that he made up for his disability in mobility with barks.
The owner is looking for a wheelchair for him. I have seen paraplegic wheelchaired (word?) dogs before playing fetch. Seem pretty happy.
I read the link, (I know, I must be new here) fascinating stuff. It is for people still with undamaged nerve ganglia. But I wonder about gene therapy. I imagine that could possibly be better. There has been some success in injections, like described here on/.
I read something recently about a chicken's eye and how it differs from a human's. Here's the link Short version: sharp color vision across the field of view and extra cones to see violet/uv, and double cones to see movement.
Could a person who has AMD get an injection of cone/rod dna/proteins in their eye and get regeneration?
I have a question for you. A real honest to goodness question that I didn't find a clear answer to in Wikipedia. Are Supersymmetry and the Standard Model competing theories or complementary? Or put another way, Do they describe the same thing differently or can both be true? Thank you.
I'll bite if we define omniscient as all knowing of what happens right now. (I find no convincing evidence in the Bible for the Greek/Roman idea of fate)
A God that allows you and I to choose our own path.
If God created us with free will, then he would allow us to follow said will until evidence was beyond a shadow of a doubt that humans can't govern themselves. And why would He help or hinder us if we go against his will.
Or put another way, is Fixed Action Pattern or free will what humans have? And if we have free will, isn't it only such if we have the freedom to will our own actions into reality?
They're not always men and sometimes they're as innocuous as writers for sitcoms and television showing that women should play the subservient role in any relationship or else it will fall apart.
Sitcoms almost always portray the father/husband/man figure as a bumbling idiot that is coerced into unwittingly doing his wife's/partners/childrens' wishes.
You have a good point. However there is a need to balance accidental emergency shut-off pushing. What happens when going 70 on I-10 and big red easy to push button gets swiped?
I thought about it and maybe a better solution would be a two-stage button with some noticeable travel. 2-5 lbs (10-25N) for start and 10 or 15 lbs (50-75N) for emergency shut-off?
Side benefit, adrenaline and excitement will help with pushing that hard.
And as you said: Screw Aesthetics! put that info right there.
I hope that there will be a standard for shutting down any make or model push button start car. And then putting that info on or near button. Like Airbag warnings on visors, but more visible.
Here is another interesting tech that would be very useful in some contexts, and scary in others.
Burris has built one of the most sophisticated rifle scopes we’ve ever seen. It has a laser rangefinder that can automatically adjust your sights to compensate for the fall of each bullet over long distances. Just point the crosshairs at the target, push a button on the side of the scope, and a bright red dot will show you exactly where the bullet will fall. We were able to easily hit targets at 400 and 700 meters without any experience at long-range rifle shooting.

And finally what about what Jesus says at Revelation 22:15: (NIV) Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. Also Jesus' Father said this one chapter earlier:Revelation 21:8, (NIV) But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars–their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.

Jesus in the Bible did not get involved in politics at all. Period. John 6:15: Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself. See also Luke 13:32,33 and John 18:36 (also there he condemns Christians getting involved in war)
As to your BTW, here is the relevant quote, Matthew 19:4-6:4“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
But as I said before, Jesus didn't get involved in politics. As an example, he didn't say anything about the common morals of the Romans, the secular power of the land in that time.
Therefore, according to WWJD, (what would Jesus do?) in regard to same sex marriage, he would not have got involved, except where "christians" claimed it was ok religiously with his Father.
But God is by definition "life elsewhere."

I thought it is pretty cool stuff.
