Again all men are born free from their very first breath. I have but 1 master, and its none of you or any man alive. So it should be for all.

Do tell. It sure isn't God.

Revelation 3:16 (hey, look, another 3:16) "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."

I suspect you have two masters, and they're both nuts.

Good! So you won't object to the shackles or the floggings, then.

...So you'll provide me and my family room and food, cloths etc., and I go bust my hump working for you? Sign me up!...

You? Sure. Your family? If they're strong and productive, otherwise I'd just sell them or kill them (they are my property after all, why feed a wastoid?).

Still sound like a deal to you?

Re: are cadbury creme eggs sinfull?

To be honest, slavery is kind of funny to me. Everybody is free. Its only when you accept that you are a slave, that you are truly a slave.
I dont know really what slaves complain about either.
So you'll provide me and my family room and food, cloths etc., and I go bust my hump working for you? Sign me up! Sounds like everyday living here in America.

Re: are cadbury creme eggs sinfull?

Sometime ago, I read somewhere that young children were being kept as slaves to work on cocoa farms harvesting the plants from which chocolate is derived. It bothered me a little until I remembered that God cares about slaves and gives careful instruction in His Word on how they are to be treated. He always advises the slaves to be obediant to their masters.


So, seeing as how slavery is not expressly condemned in the Bible, I am now only worried about the precise conditions of slavery on the cocoa farms. Because if the slaves aren't being obediant, that would not make God happy.

Now, I know that this seems a little "off-topic" regarding Cadbury Creme Eggs. But it is important to not only consider the symbolism of the eggs, but whether or not the ingredients for the candy are being produced under a system that is pleasing in God's eyes.

God is the center of all things and He is to be the center of our hearts. He certainly should be the center of our creme-filled candies, don't you think?

Re: are cadbury creme eggs sinfull?

first off, why make it into a cross? the cross is not what you should worship, but the man/god that died upon it! the cross or things in ITS likeness are mere idols people seem to worship more than the man/god that died for our sins!
and girly its chocolate, it matters what you believe not what you eat! it matters not what goes in your mouth as compared to what comes out of it. ill look up the passage on that and get back to you shortly.

You're right, it doesn't matter what you eat.

It does matter if what you are eating is distracting you from Jesus.

Eating pagan fertility rite foods is a distraction from Jesus, and therefore a sin.

Re: are cadbury creme eggs sinfull?

When you put it that way, we are closer than I thought. But somehow, the actual candy needs to burn and cause pain, but it also needs to somehow soothe the pain as well perhaps cause a mild euphoria. Maybe it needs to be candy within a candy, with the hot sauce in the outer layer and some sort of numbing and mildly intoxicating agent, like lidocaine and grain alcohol in the very center?

Hmm, yes, that would work! A hard-candy core filled with grain alcohol and lidocaine.

And since both of those will wear off by the time the hot sauce moves through the system, the consumer will receive a reminder the next day of what awaits should he ignore Jesus.

I don't recall any Biblical prohibitions against eating candy.

That's because you've never opened a Bible!

It's just candy. It can't destroy your soul.

Re: are cadbury creme eggs sinfull?

I think this candy hits on all your points, Professor!

This is an egg (representing birth), made of tasty chocolate (the loving teachings), filled with an unpleasant surprise (betrayal), which causes unimaginable pain and suffering and makes the consumer wish he would die. But eventually the pain fades (resurrection), and the consumer can finally enjoy other foods again, which will taste far better than they ever did before, because they aren't soaked in Death Sauce (ascension to paradise).

Finally, the shell, white, and yolk are three parts which only constitute an egg when combined together -- just like the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Re: are cadbury creme eggs sinfull?

But that is the very reason that candy is a poor medium for teaching about Jesus. His story involves His divine birth, His loving teachings, His betrayal, unimaginable pain and suffering, death, resurrection, ascension to paradise, and then the ultimate revelation that He and God are One single entity along with the Holy Spirit.
