Re: Down syndrome is a lifestyle choice!

Is autism also a lifestyle choice? Some people are born with diseases how do you know it is not just Gods plan to have that person suffer. I can't believe you seriously believe that these disease are lifestyle choices. It is proven science (what you call atheist propaganda) that down syndrome is caused by an extra y/x chromosome. This cannot be a result of them committing some type of sin because it happens in the womb. Genetic mutation actually happens quite frequently, if it didn't we would all look the same!

Think about it

Re: Down syndrome is a lifestyle choice!

No one is born with these things. They are all choices and escapes used to be lazy. Back in my day, no kids were autistic and I never saw a single person with this downs BS.

It is all because they do not follow Gods Golden Rules.

Re: Down syndrome is a lifestyle choice!

I'd say that autism is rather a test. Autists are usually more eager to study books unattended. With proper parenting, the children will study the Bible, with bad parenting, the will read fantasy or sci/fi instead. An improperly parented autist might think that people who haven't read the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" or "Lord of the Ring" are odd. Obsession by the number 42 is also common.

Increased rates of autism is thus a will of God, because He wants to see how good the parents are in guiding their children to Jesus. If you want the test to end or become less intensive, all you can do is to spank your kids diligently (Prov 13:24). However, if the rates suddenly drop, you'll get in trouble too, because this might mean that God refudiate parenting benchmarks altogether. This is likely to precede the Rapture, and you really need to spank your kids diligently to be Rapture Ready™.

I love it when atheists don't even know the science they claim to support.

trisomy 21

Look it up - see whether it has anything to do with x and y chromosomes. Or mutation.

No wonder you can't understand the word of God.

Maybe the atheist is autistic!

So if they were choices, how come they look physically different, and lack certain bones/muscles etc.?

They are cursed by God for their insolent crimes against Him.

If they would only love and obey God, He would not punish them.

Exodus 15:26 (King James Version) 26And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Wait, I'm not sure where you are going with this. People get diseases, after they were born. They were once healthy.

But people with Downs syndrome are BORN with this disease. They haven't done anything wrong yet...

And why are you saying that someone with Downs syndrome can't "love and obey" God?

A retarded can't even figure out how to open a Twinkie. How would it ever learn to love Jesus. Come on. Have you ever met one?

Well sure I don't deny that you can get some of them to work hard. We used to have ol' stupid jimmie do yard work for us at the church, but I finally had to let him go because he was taking a dump in the flowerbeds.

Actually I had to get Brother BJ and his boys in security to run him out of town because he kept coming back.

Well, clearly some of them are more intelligent than others. Why can't one love Jesus?

Re: Down syndrome is a lifestyle choice!

You're ridiculous.

What else are you going to come up with, cancer is a choice? AIDS was created by the devil because we weren't worshipping him?

er it was created because people were worshipping him (and still are).

Trisomy disorders[sic] are not a disease - they are demonic possession. As the learned Pastor has pointed out such demonic occupation often occurs in utero. God is quite clear on this and has commanded many such demoniacs to be hacked out of their mothers' bellies and .. well He doesn't say what to do with them next: JOB DONE. That is how much God loves us (and hates them).

EPHESIANS 3
14 For this cause I bow my knees vnto the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heauen and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you according to the riches of his glory, to bee strengthened with might, by his Spirit in the inner man,
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, that yee being rooted and grounded in loue,
18 May be able to comprehend with all Saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height:
19 And to know the loue of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that yee might bee filled with all the fulnesse of God.

There could be a couple of Biblical explanations for this. One, the retard may have been touching itself in the womb. Or maybe it was aroused by its mother's birth canal, both disgusting possibilities that surely offend the Lord.

On the other hand, maybe it is being punished for the sins of its father, or its father's descendants.

5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
