I hope you are in my list.
Nicw to meet you Miss Rica..
I feel very glad you are now my friend.
Keep in touch.
Eiko
Thank you very much for your acceptance. I'm glad that and keep in touch.
Hi Br C**,
I hope your flight was nice and safe.
Are you not tired of flying over the continent? I hope you are not.
I understand resurrection in Bible almost always meant get life again on the earth as a physical being. Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego were so and some people in early Christian congregation were so.
However in the case of Jesus. He was resurrected in a physical being once, but he ascended to heaven soon after he appeared in front of his acquaintances.
I'm afraid this is not exactly a resurrection on the earth. This description suggests he lived after his death in heaven. This allows the interpretation there's a kingdom of heaven after our death.
How do you think of the meaning of his resurrection.
Best wishes,
Mer
Does anyone drop me a line here please?

Rules for liberation
Hello good afternoon Br D**,
I had thought your mail was lengthy..
Religion played a kind of role as regulation to excessive sexual relations. Because humans are greedy and horny. I am amazed to find Filipino or Filipina are very conservative with a view to sexual relations. I think it is because of the strong ethical influence of Catholicism.
On the other hands, look at Japanese lads! They have no religious restrictions, and they are free to love anyone. But I think it's much better to suppress their freedom. Free love is one of our fundamental human rights. Religion ought to play a tap for their free will, but not to be a lid against their natural healthy desire to seek for their opposite sex.
That's my belief. I myself had to spend a dark age throughout my twenties and it's 32 years old that I had a first date with a woman. I went to graduate school so..
Bible rules are not for suppression but for liberation of humanities.
Thanks for talk to me on the chat. I'm always available!
Sincerely yours,
Mer

Yeah, already.

i enjoyed ur last email
Me:
Thanks! I haven't checked your last mail, though.
Do you have a class today? I guess you are sending this in your lab.
don:
not yet, will have a class tomorrow
but i have something to do in the lab after the lunch break
what are you doing today?
Me:
I'm off today and killing time in browsing internet.
don:
nice to have some time off
as soon as classes start tomorrow then we here will be kept much busy attending to insistent and persistent students
Me:
Are you going out with a girl back in your country? Among Jehovah's Witnesses?
don:
i used to, but it's hard here
you know the filipino culture, women must be courted and won over
it's not often that couples talk about marriage
some would want to enjoy time as couples, or as "steady" as we call it
Me:
It certainly depends on each individuals and many young unmarried girls want a guy to marry them. Otherwise it is out of their concern. I'm married so I cannot offer them any promise on marriage, so nine out of ten girls exclude me from their list. I love my wife so no problem though.
But there are many seductions in my life. Some girls don't want me to marry but still hope to have relations. I must be careful. But it's a sweet temptation. I think marriage certainly limits our freedom to love someone, but between unmarried people, love or pre marital relation is just a result of their free will.
don:
i understand
but im not for premarital intercourse
Me:
You say ' fornication ' is bad. If fornication means weird sexual practices I agree with them. If fornication means pre marital relations I think it's just a natural today. When Jesus said in Mattew 'except for fornication' fornication there does not mean pre marital relations for sure.

In other words, marriage is not absolute if we failed to keep its nice relations.
don:
right

Thanks. It's good not to have intercourse between you so you have no problem because your counterparts also know the circumstances. Also it's good to know their characters before marriage first.

Happy marriage
Hello good afternoon Br C**,
Sorry for coughing in front of you.. It was offensive!
What fornication is varies from ancient times to modern days. On the other hands, adultery usually refers to affairs with married people or a person outside of their marriage, so it becomes a cause of divorce from also a secular point of view.
If fornication means strange or weird sexual behaviour, it could become the cause of divorce from secular points of view, too. What strange or weird sexual behaviour varies in each individuals, it's just hard to define.
Anyway it was amazing for me to find how you stand on a liberal idea about divorce. Divorce is one of options for married couples.
In short, divorce is possible if two parties agree of course, and it is possible even if one party disagree with it but had it some cause as fornication in one part or the other.
I don't think porneia means premarital relations, though fornication might mean. Couples will marry after going out with one another and knowing well, so marriage is a result not a start of their partnership.
I married a lovable woman and it is just out of the question to think about the possibility of having extra-marital relations, my question about divorce in your organisation is sheer out of curiosity.
Sincerely yours,
Eiko

Take it easy! Nothing so serious but for your private affairs.
You removed me because I offended you by sending a stupid tag and comment? Our friendship has just started and I only hope friendship, not sexual ones since I got married to a woman and we are very happy , think it over again? If I did offend you, I feel very sorry and appologise. Sorry anyway.
Concentrating for them to learn by heart as many nouns as possible first.
Instead of using various verbs, just direct him to use only one verb, which is 'have'
These two points are deducted from my experience. As a teacher of English, of course.

I will always go forward lest my wise wife get hurt.

Price of pride
When I married her, I thought she was a star of hope in my life. I persuade her to marry me proposing many fabulous words to her.
It is no wonder if she thought she would be my perpetual or life long partner. She agreed to marry me. One million dollars seem to be considerable money. Yes, but I'm not a salaried man. I'm a writer. This money is a compensation for the weight of responsibility I owe to her. I bought her life. I couldn't pay her compensating my life. Instead one million dollars. Rather I'm glad to her submitting this amount of money. This is a price of my responsibility. Not cheap, but not expensive at all.
Three people, one is judge and the other two will be chosen among private citizen, will see her and me each. They will decide whether her claim or my sue are appropriate corresponding to worldly standard.
This money is a price of my pride, I'd rather appreciate that.

Misalliance
Three women have passed through my life after I started living alone. First one was 5 years senior to me and she didn't want me to marry her. She was very rich - her asset was 14 million dollars. She told me when I proposed her that whether there's any benefit from our marriage. It might have been just out of the question for her to marry me -it would have been misalliance so to speak.
Happy marriage
Hello good evening Br D**,
Thank you for you let me know the account in first Samuel. I can't recall it correctly, though, I try to find the description there. Simply put, I rest assured the injunction of blood was less punishable than the violation of Sabbath.
Personally I like your standpoint on fornication. Sex ought to be held only between married couples. This is not only acceptable in Christian point of view but also in secular point of view. Reality is often very different from what it ought to be.
I must admit humans are erroneous on this matter, but humans ought to strive for realising its ideal. If married couples love one another profoundly, they cannot have extramarital relations. Let me say one excuse. I am completely faithful to my wife. I never had any extra-marital relations with other women. In the first place we didn't have to since we love one another deeply. I just observe what worldly people do and simply cast a question.
Sincerely yours,
Mer

Confession
But before I married her three years ago I had had relations with a woman. I confess I had suffered from her incessant betrayals and that caused the separation definitely.

Sue for divorce
I married a woman in October, 1995 and at the same time we started living together. We lived together till January, 1998. So we lived together for two years and four months.
It is already 11 years and 5 months since we separated. Three women have passed through during these years. I am now in love with a woman whom I knew in April, 2006. We are in love for three years till now.
I asked my legal wife to divorce me. She said it's OK on conditions that I pay her alimony $1,000,000 and living expense $2,000 per month.
I'm glad she agreed to divorce me. I sued the issue in court to settle the money I ought to pay and get a document paper for it.
I haven't slept with my wife for more than eleven years of course. Is she still my wife only because we are married?
In relevant information, we have no kids.

On divorce
Hello good evening Br C**,
Sorry for not attending the meeting and not sending questions. I have just started working in a new office and I've got many matters to learn first and that's the reason of absense, not giddiness at all ;-)
No one knows whether God exists. It is very hard to verify whether God exists or not, so we need to believe in God in order to have faith. I believe in God, but my notion of God is probably different from what you grasp as God, but it's OK, we both believe in God.
In a same manner no one knows whether resurrection will take place in the future. I think resurrection is possible in future. It is not a matter of half a century or century, but tens of millions of light years ahead in such a sense as science makes almost everything possible. I think it's possible for the deceased to have new life again, but I'm afraid it's unnecessary. We have a limited life span but in such a sense as wishing our lineage last forvever.
It is just hard to verify the existence or non-existence of God and the event of resurrection and therefore you believe in God and his miraculous act.
Back in our ordinary life my question tonight is how you think about divorce. Do you admit it under some circumstances?
I hope to see you on Thursday!
Sincerely yours,
E.Onoda

Science makes everything possible
Thanks for posting and your regard. I appreciate that.
I think resurrection will take place eventually. I mean it's not impossible and it's not a matter of two or three years. It is a matter of tens of millions of light year in future.
Science will enable the dead to get a new life again. Science makes almost anything impossible possible. The the dead will be resurrected after tens of hundreds of years to come.
It's possible, but no one try to do so.

Yeah I was unwell this one month after I came back from other city. I was working in the city for one year and three month.
I'm now so so OK. What was my sickness? Vertigo or giddiness. I couldn't walk straight for a month. Lying all day long. Despite that I worked for no less than twenty hours a week. Albeit I will work 35 hours a week as of tomorrow.

Calm morning
Hello good morning my friends!
Very calm morning indeed. No wind absolutely. No sound with the exception of murmuring of birds probably a dove and cry of dogs far far away.
Then I hear the whispering of small birds high above the sky.Sun starts shinning and wind starts blowing.
New day starts also today too.

Hello good evening Br C**,
Thank you for many quotations from publications of the society.
You say Jesus will hand over power in Kingdom of God after 1000 years.
You say Jesus is a son of God. I think a son will succeed the Kingdom and don't return its tenure to his Father.
That is my simple impression after reading your explanation.
See you in tomorrow meeting.
I will send you another question before soon.
Sincerely yours,
Mer

Hello good evening Br D**..
In this letter 'you' refers to 'institution' not specifically Br D** yourself..
I appreciate your explanation to injunction of blood in New Testament.
I think it's enough not to use animal blood in offering for the purpose of idol worship and of course not to drink blood just in order to keep abstinence of blood, but it's up to you. You ought to act as you think. No one can dissuade you from your decision. We all respect your decision.
In law there's an exception in applying it which is justifiable defence and emergent evacuation. Injunction of blood also ought to exclude the case which relates to a matter of life and death. Where's tolerance in your faith?
As to fornication. It is very natural for unmarried couples to have sexual relationship before their marriage. Many people have sex freely as long as they are under consent. Marriage usually regulates only their economic relationship, not their sexual relationship.
You often says fornication is bad, extramarital relationship is bad. But many people do so. I don't disagree as to the idea of sex ought to be done between married couples. But this decision is worthy if it is based on their free will.
I think fornication Bible warns not to do is not sex between unmarried couples, but rather excessive lust ordinary people usually don't have.
This is my impression I had in my Bible reading. How do you think about this? Bible is not a book of prohibition as you often emphasise. Let's take it easier, shall we!
Please respond to me when you can. I wait.
Sincerely yours,
Mer

Essence of God
Hello good evening Br H**..
Yes, this is based on my personal experience. About 33 years ago in Kora a very old guy who is Jehovah's Witnesses refused to take blood transfusion in operation. He's dead as a result of this action. At that time his case was reported in a newspaper.
He was over 80. He must have had a death from natural cause sooner or later, but anyway he refused to live longer by possible medical procedure.
I know two other cases as I told you before.. A married couple was attending some church regularly. After about a year of attendance they took their baby in a church. Their baby was apparently suffered from jaundice and probably the day was the last day on earth. He was swelled more than two times from ordinary state with full of yellow skin. They never visit the church again after this.
A guy was attending the church, after 9 months of his attending he was unable to come any more. Later I heard he was killed by cancer.
Probably in both two cases they must have been looking for rescue in soul. Here lies the essence of religion I suppose.
I think resurrection will take place. For God's eyes it comes soon. But for human eyes it will take millions of years. Science can do anything, that is I believe the essence of God.
By the way.. what do you do in the United States?
Sincerely yours.

Kingdom of God
Hello good morning Br **..
I finished reading your lengthy reply very late last night at around 3 am. Thank you very much for your enthusiasm to defence for your faith. This is not a sarcastic. Bible what is today was written many years ago and it's been 1900 years since the last chapter was completed. Bible has been interpreted in many ways as well, depending on how to interpret the verses. That's fine if you have some conviction based on faith in your direction of life. That not what others say it's wrong or right.
Yes there is an injunction of fat, pork and blood in Old Testament and blood only in New one. You interpret the prohibition of blood is still in effect over all Christians not only as offering, drinking but also for medical purposes. You can use fractions of red and white blood cells, platelets, plasma and other blood derived medicines such as immuno-globulin, etc. according to conscience of each Christians but you mustn't donate blood or receive blood transfusion.
This is a faith matter. Faith relates to how to live and sometimes heavier than life itself.
I understand and I should like to respect your faith.
In many Christendoms Sunday is called Lord's Day which means the day of Jesus or God.
Sun was an object of worship in many ancient Orient civilisations such as Egypt or Babylonia. Jewish Sabbath is taken from sundown on Friday to Saturday night till three stars are visible. So I confirmed it one day and 40 minutes. (So it was not 1.5 days as I thought before in my previous reading.)
Jewish people experienced Egypt and Seleucid occupation from 323 - 198, 198 - 166 BE respectively. It can easily be guessed that the custom of which day the day of rest is shifted from Saturday to Sunday influenced by the traditions of such occupant countries who believe the God of Sun. I think the resurrection of Jesus and baptism as a ritual also come from Sun worship since the sun is the one that repeat birth and death every day.
But officially yeah it was Constantine who implemented Sunday is the holy day adopting sun worship so common among other orient countries. Cross was also adopted from the sign of Sun god in Babylonia at the same time. And this was the reason you exclude Lord's Day and Cross in your Christian belief.
In several ways you excluded some customs major Christendoms implemented after the death of Jesus. Your belief is similar to original Christianity. In a sense it is a restoration movement to original Christianity in the first century. I myself feel Christianity today has been made through many traditions Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestant put into effects.
You seem to be different from Christianity since you don't use cross, don't celebrate Christmas, don't have church, but that's the very reason of what you are.
No questions? Yes, I have. In Kingdom of God, is the King Jesus, not God? Is there difference between Kingdom of God and that of Heaven? Then where is Heaven located ? Since we see two expressions in Gospels.
Sincerely yours,
Mer

Two letters
Aritificial blood
Hello good afternoon Br **..
Yeah I was supposed to wait your sending a reply for my first email. So sorry too.
>this decision was made by a group of older men
That's right, but that does not necessarily mean in 21c all Christians ought to follow.
Refrain from blood was commanded because still in early century blood was sometimes on the table. ( I read this description from 'Apologeticus' written by Tertullian (ca.155–230) or even if it were not on the table animal blood was used in idol worship. From such various point of view I guess blood needed to be kept away from Christian's mouth.
When we think about the meaning of command we must consider its background, context,etc. For example because Mose's law was repealed by the death of Jesus today's Christians no more try to follow Mosaic law. I guess old congregation leaders as St James couldn't realise the real meaning of the death of Jesus and said so just to ease the tension between Gentile and Jewish congregations. For example Jews don't baptise while Jesus did so though, let alone they must have thought they are different from Gentiles in treatment of blood.
Blood prohibition was appears three times in Bible. One is in Genesis and this command was given to Noah, and second was in Leviticus given to Israelites. the third one was in Acts. So many agree Old Covenant was replaced by New Covenant. Some say command given to Noah was not nullified by New Covenant so command given to Noah is still in effect.
Is that so? I'm afraid not. Jesus is greater than Moses, let alone than Adam, Noah. Since Jesus existed before the first man, I think we ought to put maximum significance on the Advent of Jesus in if we were Christians and that's the meaning of I though the Redemption.
I'm glad you take fractions of red, white blood cell, platelets, plasma, but are you originally doing so? or sometime after you decided not to accept blood transfusion you decided to accept such products derived from blood? Not sure.
Suppose you were banned to take milk instead. Do you insist powdered milk, condensed milk, milk candy, soft cream are OK since they are not milk but a product derived from milk? So if someone take red, while blood cell, platelets, plasma at the same time is it OK?
But aside from all what I wrote here, whether you take blood or not belongs to conscience of each individual Christians. In Acts we read Refrain from blood, whether it includes merely evading to use animal blood for sacrifice or too far to include blood related medicines as immunoglobulin, or blood transfusion in operation. It's up to us not up to other's decision. I merely believe if some Christians accepted blood transfusion you cannot blame they are a violator. I think so.
So my question this time is do you use artificial blood in need if it were invented some day in future?
Yes, I am now in ** and attending the meeting regularly as of 11th of April. I wish you were here, but let's resume Bible study on line! I appreciate your advice.
At second world war you refused to go to war and put into camps in Germany. It was very meaningful because war in general is against humanity, conscience of Christians. But how about the refusal of blood transfusion! That benefits who?
I say to myself.. This feeling is from my personal experience. He's dead in hope of resurrection. Probably resurrection will take place in millions of years in future time. But till then who cares?
See you in next email.
With Christian sincerity

Hello good evening Br **..
Oh, you were still composing your thoughts about my first mail. Sorry, I was impatient and made you hurry.
As you say if Mosaic law was repealed in Christ death, that's what I pointed out about the meaning of Redemption.. but it seems this idea is not original..
Blood prohibition was mentioned three times that is in Genesis to Noah, Leviticus to Israelites, and the third one is to Gentiles in Acts.
Command given to Noah is not Mosaic law, that's why this law is not nullified by the Death of Jesus? Moses recorded a command given to Noah since he is the one who wrote the first book Genesis. Is there any difference between command given to Noah and Mosaic law? I don't think there is.
As to the description in Acts about it I read Catholic had already solved this matter in 1442 Session 11 of the Council of Florence.
So my main question is isn't blood prohibition nullified through the death of Jesus?
If not, what was the meaning of Redemption?
Please take your time as long as two weeks. I will send another email after that.

At second world war you refused to go to war and put into camps in Germany. It was very meaningful because war in general is against humanity, conscience of Christians. But how about the refusal of blood transfusion! That benefits who?
I say to myself.. This feeling is from my personal experience. He's dead in hope of resurrection. Probably resurrection will take place in millions of years in future time. But till then who cares?
See you in next email.
With Christian sincerity

Yeah I was supposed to wait your sending a reply for my first email. So sorry too.
>this decision was made by a group of older men
That's right, but that does not necessarily mean in 21c all Christians ought to follow.
Refrain from blood was commanded because still in early century blood was sometimes on the table. ( I read this description from 'Apologeticus' written by Tertullian (ca.155–230) or even if it were not on the table animal blood was used in idol worship. From such various point of view I guess blood needed to be kept away from Christian's mouth.
When we think about the meaning of command we must consider its background, context,etc. For example because Mose's law was repealed by the death of Jesus today's Christians no more try to follow Mosaic law. I guess old congregation leaders as St James couldn't realise the real meaning of the death of Jesus and said so just to ease the tension between Gentile and Jewish congregations. For example Jews don't baptise while Jesus did so though, let alone they must have thought they are different from Gentiles in treatment of blood.
Blood prohibition was appears three times in Bible. One is in Genesis and this command was given to Noah, and second was in Leviticus given to Israelites. the third one was in Acts. So many agree Old Covenant was replaced by New Covenant. Some say command given to Noah was not nullified by New Covenant so command given to Noah is still in effect.
Is that so? I'm afraid not. Jesus is greater than Moses, let alone than Adam, Noah. Since Jesus existed before the first man, I think we ought to put maximum significance on the Advent of Jesus in if we were Christians and that's the meaning of I though the Redemption.
I'm glad you take fractions of red, white blood cell, platelets, plasma, but are you originally doing so? or sometime after you decided not to accept blood transfusion you decided to accept such products derived from blood? Not sure.
Suppose you were banned to take milk instead. Do you insist powdered milk, condensed milk, milk candy, soft cream are OK since they are not milk but a product derived from milk? So if someone take red, while blood cell, platelets, plasma at the same time is it OK?
But aside from all what I wrote here, whether you take blood or not belongs to conscience of each individual Christians. In Acts we read Refrain from blood, whether it includes merely evading to use animal blood for sacrifice or too far to include blood related medicines as immunoglobulin, or blood transfusion in operation. It's up to us not up to other's decision. I merely believe if some Christians accepted blood transfusion you cannot blame they are a violator. I think so.

So sorry
Hello good evening Br **..
Oh, you were still composing your thoughts about my first mail. Sorry, I was impatient and made you hurry.
As you say if Mosaic law was repealed in Christ death, that's what I pointed out about the meaning of Redemption.. but it seems this idea is not original..
Blood prohibition was mentioned three times that is in Genesis to Noah, Leviticus to Israelites, and the third one is to Gentiles in Acts.
Command given to Noah is not Mosaic law, that's why this law is not nullified by the Death of Jesus? Moses recorded a command given to Noah since he is the one who wrote the first book Genesis. Is there any difference between command given to Noah and Mosaic law? I don't think there is.
As to the description in Acts about it I read Catholic had already solved this matter in 1442 Session 11 of the Council of Florence.
So my main question is isn't blood prohibition nullified through the death of Jesus?
If not, what was the meaning of Redemption?
Please take your time as long as two weeks. I will send another email after that.
Best wishes,
Mer

Council of Florence 1442 Session 11

> it's only Mosaic law that is rendered null and void by "the New Covenant".
I thought this is the meaning of redemption, but I guess many knew already..
However the fact is this is given to Noah.In 1442 in the council of Florence, session 11 as to Acts description this is interpreted as follows.
>It firmly believes, professes and teaches that every creature of God is good and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because according to the word of the Lord not what goes into the mouth defiles a person, and because the difference in the Mosaic law between clean and unclean foods belongs to ceremonial practices, which have passed away and lost their efficacy with the coming of the gospel. It also declares that the apostolic prohibition, to abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled, was suited to that time when a single church was rising from Jews and gentiles, who previously lived with different ceremonies and customs. This was so that the gentiles should have some observances in common with Jews, and occasion would be offered of coming together in one worship and faith of God and a cause of dissension might be removed, since by ancient custom blood and strangled things seemed abominable to Jews, and gentiles could be thought to be returning to idolatry if they ate sacrificial food. In places, however, where the Christian religion has been promulgated to such an extent that no Jew is to be met with and all have joined the church, uniformly practising the same rites and ceremonies of the gospel and believing that to the clean all things are clean, since the cause of that apostolic prohibition has ceased, so its effect has ceased. It condemns, then, no kind of food that human society accepts and nobody at all neither man nor woman, should make a distinction between animals, no matter how they died; although for the health of the body, for the practice of virtue or for the sake of regular and ecclesiastical discipline many things that are not proscribed can and should be omitted, as the apostle says all things are lawful, but not all are helpful.
So this is already settled in Catholic world.
As to the deference between order to Noah and Mosaic law, I don't think there's substantial difference since Pentateuch was thought to be written by Moses.
