    Thanks for the article. If you read the book of Revelation, you understand that the "harlot" is the world empire of false religion. She will be destroyed by the governments turning against her. Only Christ's kingdom will rule after all others are destroyed.

    Daniel 2:44 "And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite."

    What is the question? Really? Are you a Pedophile looking for attention?I have to wonder.

    Sickening reports of pedophile rings, which greedily exploit children sexually, are flooding in from all over the world. The victims are both young boys and young girls. Lured by unscrupulous men, they are sexually abused and then threatened or lavishly spoiled to encourage them to remain with the “club.” The men who plan and perform these vile acts are often prominent leaders of the community and sometimes do so with the full knowledge and protection of the police and the judiciary

    systems. Money can buy a lot of things but not everlasting life. Pedophiles can be redeemed and be as good as any.

    My question is, why worry about that when I think that society neutered people long before religion had much to say about it.

    There was no sex instruction in Genesis chapters 1-3. Just that "something" called male and female started to exist and produced babies somehow. I don't see how sex and reproduction got off the ground at all based on the limited data in the texts. Even in the NT, sexual organs such as vagina and penis are not mentioned. Late in OT times, shoots and such are referred to as penile organs used in worship. Greeks and some others drew these on their gods as in Mayan culture.

    Seems to me, early humans/first male may have mated with higher primates and that was the reason a woman was made for him as he was doing things with animals and none was found to be a good "helper" to him.

    I'd worry more about what species you are than what gender.

    And males have culled off women gathering slaves in wars all human history. Taking cute smaller controllable cute ones who could cook and clean. Seems malekind has been intent on murdering off female kind since Eden. Gen. 3 16 He said to the woman:

    I will intensify your labor pains;

    you will bear children in anguish.

    Your desire will be for your husband,

    yet he will dominate you.

    No wonder there is no good sex down here. I don't know where people finally came up with the genitals to do anything or the manuel to tell them how.

    Just my take of history and college courses, etc.

    Thank goodness, pretty much ALL religions including Jehovah's Witnesses are expecting instruction during a golden age following a cleanup of earth and a "new scroll" or updated instructions for living on earth forever in peace, safety and good health. Acts 20:28, 29.

    How dare the government stop the church from telling other people what to do?

    They do know that people want gay marriage to be legal, but not mandatory right?

    I think it's more to crack down on Priests who won't leave children alone. They are supposed to have no sex, not know sex. Maybe the Catholic Faith needs to allow Priests to marry, and then they might get Priests who don't want children, in sex that is!

    1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

    2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

    3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

    4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

    5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

    >> 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:1-6

    By telling Churches who they should allow to adopt is to tell the Church what they should believe. They're very wrong.
