What was the purpose of the dietary laws in the OT (see Acts 10:9-16)? And...why are they no longer viable? What parts of the OT law should we follow / not follow?
- biggzipp
okay i have looked at this very little (the whole idea of some food being forbidden to eat). obviously from how i live i say eat whatever...but that was certainly not the case in the OT. i am still perplexed on what the big deal was on eating certain foods - sure it was a law but i don't understand the heart behind the law.
- Magen Bradley
purpose of dietary law: Lev 11...if you were to eat certain animals or touch them you would become unclean because they were unclean. you would be unclean until evening. the Lord said "consecrate yourselves....be holy, for i am holy". some say it was a test of obedience like Adam in the garden....some it was a distintion between nations (to be set apart)...others say the animals the jews could not eat were detestable because they used in idolatry.
- Magen Bradley
and...in acts 10 it says "what God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy" so to say the law of moses is done away with because of Jesus. what should we follow and what can we omit from the law???? i think we can put away from the law....i'll write later...this is getting long.
- Magen Bradley
First yes we are on this week. I guess I will start the talk on our stories with Christ. As a child my family did not go to church but my parrents had grown up in church so we did have some christian influence in life. However by no means would I call it a Godly enviorment nor was it a horrible life. Kids are crazy so will continue later!!!!!
yo, I meant let's talk about that at hometeam, but whatever
- biggzipp
Questions 1.Chances of Sarah Pallin having a talk show on Fox are? 2.Chances of new Sarah Pallin scandal are? 3.Chances of pres run in 2012?
1. Even 2. zero (but the current scandals may expand, but zero new ones) 3. She'll try, Party will tell her no
- Matthew DeVries
pretty good, pretty good, I'm not sure the GOP is that stupid (parts of it are, but not all of it)

Holy shit.

Ouch.
- Thomas
Oh man. Too much death this week.
- Dave Friedel
They come in waves with celebs. He makes three (Ed McMahon and Farah Faucett).
- Thomas
I am just, just, shocked.
- Mark
Whoa... Very strange day.
- Aaron Hood
Some sources are saying an overdose of sleeping pills :(
- Mark
Shock. Shock. Shock.
- Dave Friedel
I maybe over blowing this I just thought Leo Laporte would have broken into his shows to report the news. The death of Jackson is a cultural event of epic proportions.
- Mark
I'll remember where I was at this moment.
- Dave Friedel
Is this real?
- Fleagle
I was just thinking that Dave. I remember where I was whern Diana died too
- Mark
CNN.com still doesn't have confirmation on their site. Either TMZ rushed it out or CNN's late to the party again...
- Thomas
TMZ is more ballsy and has less of a reputation to protect than CNN so they took a chance I guess
- Mark
I noticed that, Thomas. We'll see! Hopefully we're not putting him in his grave before his time.
- Veronica
BBC News Live http://news.bbc.co.uk/1...
- Mark
BBC are being VERY cautious about the Death thing
- Mark
The mainstream news beat Twitter on this story.
- Mark
Twitter.com is being hammered. Not suprising.
- Mark
Wouldn't be the first time FF or twitter jumped the gun...
- Thomas
CNN Live: Fire dept won't reveal his state due to HIPAA laws. Blitzer can't get confirmation.
- Dave Friedel
this is insane
- Veronica
latimes; he's in a coma, CNN: he's alive.
- anna sauce
According to LA times blog, he's in a coma as of 2:46. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow...
- Thomas
I will take a COMA any day over Death. Fuck yes there may be hope!!!!!!!!!
- Mark
I hope tmz was just jumping the gun
- Jason Tullos
I had a friend who had a cardiac arrest and was revived... but died a few days later. It's worse than a heart attack.
- Dave Friedel
Depending on how long he wasn't breathing, he may be technically alive, but...
- Thomas
We will worry about bringing him back later, if he is in a coma at least he is alive
- Mark
It's interesting that CNN isn't even mentioning the TMZ article. You'd think they'd at least reference it and say "let's wait for confirmation"...
- Thomas
thats what the BBC is doing Thomas
- Mark
"unconfirmed" etc etc
- Mark
Lets just hope he is in a coma. I mean he is either dead or in a coma right?
- Mark
Twitter is dead, too.
- Steve Hampton
CNN now going with the coma story
- Thomas
LA Times has changed from Coma to DEATH
- Mark
Is this bigger than John Lennon dying?
- Steve Hampton
LA Times is going with dead now: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow...
- Veronica
its big. Very VERY big
- Mark
CNN HLN Update: Michael Jackson is in a coma.
- John Fox
RIP Michael!
- Fee501st
Probably as big as Elvis', Lennon's deaths
- Mark
So CNN is about 30 minutes behind
- Thomas
way to go, CNN
- Veronica
They're the news leader, right? :)
- Thomas
Well, either they wait and get it right or call it early and possibly get it wrong. They're supposed to be reputable.
- aldenoneil
CNN just called based on CBS and the times
- Jason Tullos
Certainly for people around Veronica's age including me, this is probably the biggest cultural death in our lifetimes that we are old enough to understand
- Mark
MJ in Coma according to CNN!
- Divya Mistry
I'd say this is bigger than Lennon and Elvis. MJ is a huge icon in Asia. Especially in India.
- Srujan Ameda
LA Times is confirming the King of Pop's death.
- John Fox
CNN just announced death
- Thomas
@Thomas Dammit, if I'd have had it confirmed by CNN 30 minutes ago, I could have.. erm...
- Ian Betteridge
Hope you're at peace finally MJ. RIP.
- Dave Friedel
Poor guy.
- Andrew Leahey
BBC are saying its a shame cos people have tickets for his show and wont be able to go. Unbelievabe
- Mark
Last time I felt like this was 12 years ago, staying up all night when Diana passed away. The space-time continuum shifts and you always remember where you were at that moment.
- Dave Friedel
CNN just made that Diana comparison...
- Thomas
CNN is saying itll be devastating for the Jackson family. You don't say?
- Andrew Leahey
I remember Diana's death very well. I was up late watching SNL with a friend of mine during a sleepover party, and the news came on and interrupted it. We didn't know if it was part of the show or not.
- Veronica
Yeah, Twitter is not holding up well right now.
- Veronica
Yeah, I was moving at the time Diana died. The TV was the first thing I hooked up...
- Thomas
I was playing Donkey Kong Country on the Super Nintendo when I heard about Diana.
- Mark
Not at all.
- Andrew Leahey
The threes thing is always so weird and creepy. And true.
- Veronica
Ehh, its usually a stretch Scott, since theres never a clear time-limit on the 3 rule.
- Andrew Leahey
There it goes on DIGG.com
- Mark
Wow, look at all the people gathering...
- Dave Friedel
I just got back from a friends house and my mom was crying, thats how i found out! (about Diana)
- Fee501st
No doubt most digged story in history
- Mark
This is going to be a major world-wide event, obviously.
- Veronica
Is it just me or is the internet in general feeling sluggish?
- Andrew Leahey
I am sure tens of millions of people are on the net than would normally be
- Mark
Yep, this feels just like Diana. That was worse because there was over 6 hours of waiting to find out. But it still is shuddering to see a milestone in life go by so fast.
- Dave Friedel
Micheal Jackson is/was a world wide music icon to all! Sad day in the music industry for such.
- Bryce Campbell
I remeber when the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, I was in 3 grade class and we was watching it live on TV, its was scary at the time
- Fee501st
Its not just a sad day for the music ind Bryce, believe me the world will mourn
- Mark
CNN anchor was talking about how everyone always expected him to return to the top some day. Totally did.
- Andrew Leahey
Millions will take to the streets in cities around the world
- Mark
I really hope this wasn't a pill overdose.
- Dave Friedel
I'm sad for his children. What a strange, sad life.
- Veronica
Did not see that coming
- Joe Demartino
See we are about the age in which we only really knew his weird phase, not his talented phase
- Mark
Mark, agree totally!
- Bryce Campbell
I am anyway. 21 years old
- Mark
BBC just confirmed. He is officially dead
- Mark
Mark, you're making me feel very old. :P
- Dave Friedel
I was an 80's baby, so I remember the talented time.
- Veronica
this is so sad. don't know what to say. I grew up with his songs, in the 80's.
- diego morelli
I'm 23, but totally remember him for his talent. He's still on my playlists.
- Andrew Leahey
The pop icons from the 60's-80's are slowly disappearing.
- imabonehead
He was like Reagan or video games. He was the 80's.
- Dave Friedel
For any of you too young to remember or experience it, Michael was the most amazing person to set foot on a stage. He completely changed the game. IMO the most amazing performer of all-time. This is truly devastating.
- Fleagle
adding his songs to my Napster Library as we speak
- Edgar Rodríguez
whats his best album im going to download it on Spotify
- Mark
I would have loved to see him perform. I remember waiting up all night to see the live premiere of the Scream video with Janet. Loved it.
- Veronica
Mark: Thriller
- Andrew Leahey
I agree: Thriller
- Veronica
Veronica: I remember too. CBS News aired it later that night.
- Andrew Leahey
I remember seeing him in the Wiz. I think that was the only movie he starred in wasn't it?
- Dave Friedel
Oh no, the news are starting the rumours not that he was overworked for the 50 tour concerts
- Mark
Thriller was his best, he had a lot of great songs on so/so albums after that.
- Andrew Leahey
Yea, Thriller by far
- Fee501st
Man in the Mirror.
- Dave Friedel
I'm 19 but I think honestly that Michael Jackson is the most important star of the 20th century. Thriller was his best, in my opinion.
- Diego Espinoza V.
After they confirmed he was gone I turned off the news, I feel like them going on about his talent is rubbing our face in the fact that he's gone.
- Andrew Leahey
Beat It was my favourite
- Iain
Smooth Criminal for me ^____^ http://is.gd/1dxdV (havent been on friendfeed long, is this the most active post anyone has seen?)
- Anthony Kam
I know Andrew but they have to fill the air :/
- Mark
Don't forget Smooth Criminal
- Fee501st
Don't stop til you get enough
- Andrew Leahey
Say say say.
- Dave Friedel
Can you imagine how popular he would have been had he not had the scandals?
- Andrew Leahey
Dave: Moonwalker: http://www.imdb.com/title..., and we musn't forget Captain EO.
- aldenoneil
I know what you mean
- Mark
Oooo, Don't stop till you get enough. Good call Andrew. I love that song. 70's!
- Dave Friedel
CNN playing MJ tunes now.
- Veronica
Moonwalker! who had the game? A friend had it, i remember playing it
- Fee501st
Beat It!
- Dave Friedel
Oh man, these songs are so good.
- Veronica
Some news channels are saying he was not upto 50 dates of his upcoming concert, but you can't predict a heart attack. A 40 year old man in perfect health can have a heart attack.
- Mark
I Want You Back - Jackson 5
- Andrew Leahey
Beat It was right before Thriller the video. The Thriller video was like a movie launch. Everyone sat around on the premiere night to see the longest video ever on MTV.
- Dave Friedel
Oh c'mon, iReport?
- Veronica
His creditors are not going to be as sad at the news as we are, thats a fact.
- Mark
Yeah thanks Mark for pointing that out...
- Dave Friedel
iReport? REALLY?
- Divya Mistry
Yay, CNN...
- Thomas
Playing Billy Jean on soptify
- Mark
Jon Stewart just did a bit on CNN giving up and using iReporters.
- Dave Friedel
I don't care about David.. WHo's this guy? Get off phone d-bag. You tell 'em Veronica
- Divya Mistry
Ah soptify - is that an new and exclusive service Mark? :)
- Iain
yep
- Mark
lol
- Iain
Jeff Goldblum died too aye?
- Andrew Leahey
CNN... you learn it in middle school "Show... don't tell" Show MJ, don't tell me about MJ.
- Divya Mistry
This is MIND BLOWING: He ultimately sold more than 750m albums worldwide and won 13 Grammy awards.
- Mark
I saw someone else report the Jeff Goldblum thing too. That had better be fake.
- Veronica
Nope, fell to his death.
- Andrew Leahey
Jeff Goldblum?
- Mark
Dude, the person I read said car accident. Rumor spreading?
- Veronica
Yep, filming in New Zealand. So much for the rule of 3.
- Andrew Leahey
Can you contemplate selling almost a billion albums? 13 grammys! I mean come on.
- Mark
Dude, that would suck. So much for the buckaroo banzai sequel...
- Thomas
Not heard about Jeff Goldblum dying - when was that?
- Iain
he sold more ALBUMS than there are VIDEOS on youtube
- Mark
Jeffs wikipedia entry has not said anything about that yet!
- Charlieray
Better be fake
- Iain
Chaos theory.
- aldenoneil
There is nothing on Google News about that at all.
- Veronica
yea i call fake!
- Fee501st
Total fake
- Andrew Leahey
Jeff story is a fake, for sure. Nothing on any news story, besides we'd hear that right away on CNN.
- Divya Mistry
Google's robots are not "that" quick i guess
- Srujan Ameda
Very suspicious that his name is in the subdomain.
- Andrew Leahey
Totally fake.
- Veronica
http://hashtags.org/search... just rumors atm
- Anthony Kam
Search twitter though, spreading like *wildfire*.
- Andrew Leahey
woa
- biggzipp

- Mark
sorry mark! we'll make a new thread.
- Veronica
Did anyone load that jeff golblum link on twitter? Wondering if it's a phishing site...
- Thomas
Showing confirmed both on MSNBC and Fox News.
- Kim Landwehr
Who is this CNN lady? First of all, she's putting words in that iReporter's (?!) mouth.
- Divya Mistry
I loaded, I'm not sure. Checking out mediafetcher.com
- Andrew Leahey
Kim - Fox news confirmed, and then immediately said that their reporters are waiting out side till UCLA Med Center confirms it
- Divya Mistry
His death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage. <------ I was just too young to experience that :(
- Mark
Dang, no kidding? So.....what else is going on?
- Tdubya
celebs dropping like flies, veronica you need to be careful for the rest of this week

9-11 was like this (in terms of net overload). FriendFeed's ajax updates make this the best source for me right now. Interesting...
- Dave Friedel
BBC confirmed it around 5 mins ago..
- Mark Aitken
Right now dozens of authors are beginning work on the Michael Jackson tell all stories hoping there book is the one which will sell millions
- Mark
The news RT's on Twitter look like a FriendFeed commercial since this gives me no results: http://search.twitter.com/search... while this does: http://friendfeed.com/search... and with much less noise...
- Patrick Mackaaij
Maybe he still has time for one more "Thriller" dance.
- Ruben
UCLA Med Ctr website is down!
- Divya Mistry
CNN had confirmation from the coroners office apparently
- Iain
Sad, sad day. :( I loved him when I was young and his music is still awesome. I always felt sorry for him too - he was clearly fucked up and it wasn't his fault.
- Amy
Man had issues, but holding the baby out the balcony... I can sleep soundly while chalking that fuck up to him.
- Anthony Kam
Like all artists, I judge him by his art, not his life
- anna sauce
A weird individual, but he encountered challenges totally unique to child stars
- anna sauce
Well said Anna.
- Mark Aitken
I also think his popularity shouldn't be underestimated- friend went to a concert 6 years or so ago in Germany and was astounded by how many showed up- 10K? or something insane
- anna sauce
Macaulay Culkin's and Corey Feldman's phones are ringing off the hook.

Do Linux users pay a "Microsoft tax?" - http://digg.com/linux_u...
"well a pos windows machine that you have to take to GeekSquad to get fixed once a year(unless you're more pc savvy than the regular user) vs. a Apple Machine that works perfectly most of the time. Doesn't seem like a tax to me. Just seems like you're paying a little more for a way-better product."

I'm not sure Palin has ever thought about half of this stuff before, and that alone should disqualify her as a legitimate VP. 2. If I was in Couric's shoes I would find it hard to keep my composure and not lash out at the idiocy of most of these answers, or non-answers in actuality."
