Deuteronomy 23 2 No one of illegitimate birth shall enter the assembly of the LORD; none of his descendants, even to the tenth generation, shall enter the assembly of the LORD. Oh, too bad for you if you were born out of wedlock, or the result of a rape. God doesn't want you or your children, no matter how good a life you lead. Too bad that most of those children who were saved by anti-choice protestors and were not aborted have no chance of getting to heaven. They just can't win, according to God's word, can they? Del

Hi Del, As a fellow veteran of Catholic Schools, my recollection is that the Mother Church was a bit selective about the parts of the Bible it chose to highlight. Readings tending to come mostly from the New Testament, which apparently had been subverted somewhere along the line by socialists and moral relativists. The camel and the eye of the needle, let he who is without sin cast the first stone, stuff like that. I can understand how righteous fundamentalists would choose to deemphasize that subversive propaganda and go for all those tried and true Old Testament. But I wonder how all those old Jews in the desert knew so much about what Christ wanted taught before He arrived, and why all that old stuff is inerrant while the new stuff all got corrupted. It's a mystery to me, but having lapsed I don't worry about it too much anymore. Cheers, Dan.

You mean the poor castrati who sang for the Pope in the Sistine Chapel had injury added to injury by being told, Hey, we LOVE they way you guys sing, but now that the song is over, no way are you coming with us into the assembly of the Lord because we have testicles and you don't? It seems so unfair. John Wayne Bobbit can't enter the assembly of the Lord, either. I guess he wife can, though. Although I don't know about women. Can women enter the assembly of the Lord? Maybe men can enter the assembly of the Lord, and women can enter Lord & Taylor.
