    Honest question from a Christian. Please answer.

    Hello,

    My names is James Darton. I am currently involved in research that deals with free radicals, which account for many functions of the body. What my colleagues and I have been working on is a way to end the human dependence on them, and theoretically enable indefinite lifespans with constant treatment.
    My question is:
    Is this wrong to do? I have not read the Bible fully, and was wondering if I would be creating abominations.

    Thanks.

    I don't depend on free radicals. I'm sure if you poll some of my friends around here, they will all agree that the radicals should all be locked up. For life.
    May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

      I believe you misunderstood, or you are making a joke.
      In which case that is rather funny

        Adam and Methuselah lived for almost 1000 years. If God allows your research to expand lifespans to where he originally intended them, I don't think there will be a problem.

          Glad to hear a solid answer, thank you.

            Mr. Darton, if God wanted us to live thousands of years, don't you think He'd eliminate these Muslim Radicals of yours?

            He created the Universe, He can certainly get rid of a few radicals. Just look at how well-stocked Guantanamo Bay is with the creatures!

            I think that your work is attempting to go against God's Will. I'd suggest praying long and hard with the Pastors here to determine whether this is the case.

            I'm told that clicking the Praypal button at the bottom of the page will summon their undivided attention.
            Bible boring? Nonsense!

            You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!

              Welcome to God's favorite forum Jimmy. We've encountered your kind before, coming in here pretending to be doing "reaearch" when in fact they come to mock Jesus.

              Please provide us with the name of the institution which you are doing this so-called research for. the name and phone number of your boss/professor too. Once the DOF investigates and clears you, we'll be happy to answer your questions.

              You haven't told us what church you attend, or anything about your beliefs.
              Who Will Jesus Damn?

                With regard to science and God, there is a pretty simple dynamic that probably dominates many True Christian minds.

                1. The Truth is of God.

                2. Science is OK as long as it does not contradict Christian Truth.

                The Bible is the ultimate Word of the ultimate Being. God not only knows every detail of the Universe, He designed the Universe from the void up.

                God could have told His Chosen People about free radicals and ways to combat them. For that matter, He could have told His favorite people about metallurgy, basic chemistry, and geometry. Since God knew the Universe and every natural law from the inside out, He certainly could have done that.

                But in His wisdom He revealed no science that an iron-age camel-flogger would not already know. Just look in the Bible. Nevertheless, True Christians know that the Bible is, as Jerry Falwell famously said, the perfect textbook for all knowledge of not only morality but biology, chemistry, and astronomy as well.

                Praise ye the Lord!

                  Unless you've found some chemical treatment that eliminates sin, your research is doomed to failure. Luckily, however, there is a way to achieve immortality, and it requires no research whatsoever:

                  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

                  Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name.... Jeremiah 10:25

                    Amen, come Lord Jesus, Praise, Praise, Praise...

                    Even if you got rid of the muslim free radicals, why bother? Any decent white Christian could kick a islamic's ass, I routinely smite them with my wide margin KJV Bible. PLUS - who would want to live forever in this body instead of going to live with Jesus??

                    2 Corinthians 5.6-8: Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
                    Isaiah 36.12 - But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
