I waited to post this for a few. It's a "response" to you. You (not long ago) You responded to my post on "Death Penality, Mainly (And chain gangs). I won't say anything on the "chain gangs" here.. but I hope you see why I am against the "Death Penality".

You mentioned the "Bible says" an "EYE FOR AN EYE". This is true, but what you don't know (in a Biblical sense), there are different dispensations (Time periods), there are different reasons things were spoke to different people at times. I studied the "Bible" (as well as all religions) many years. I am VERY factual. I can promise, MOST won't make sense, unless you spent alot of time to learn. There is NO WAY possible I could "explain" most subjects in depth. However, I do know them well. If anyone here "reads this", I am not a "Bible thumper". I am just a person who believes in it. I am a person who spent a near decade in study. I will NOT in any sense, try to convert you. I will however, say what I believe (and I can back up most why). I don't go to church myself. My study was for me. I did write a Biblical program that was used all over the USA as a teaching tool. It took close to 3 years, C++ programming code. It's registered in the US "Library of Congress". It's called "Disciples_Quest_".

Now to "really explain" why an "Eye for an Eye" is not valid today, would be way beyond the scope of this blog. To be "blunt", I wouldn't have time. I can however say, If anyone wants to ask me a "question", about anything. I will answer. I don't know everything (nobody does). But I promise I will be "more real and truthful" to you then anyone. I can also say, I know for a FACT, I know as much as anyone else.

Matthew: 5:38 - 5:44 (Jesus Speaking).. 1611 KJV Bible

Ye had heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth;

But I say unto you, that you resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

And if any man will sue the at law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

And whosoever shall compel ye to go a mile, go with him twain.

Give to him that that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.

But I say onto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you. do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you.

I want EVERYONE here to know. I am a VERY "Factual person". I am probably "too direct" for my own good". With that said, I am willing to talk to ANYONE.. In Im's, blogs or whatever. Any subject really. If I don't know what your talking.. I'll try to learn. That's what this thing is about... Learning really...

Take care all, Gary :)
