Young Blood Can Reverse Aging Process

Young Blood Can Reverse Aging Process - newser.com

Excerpt from this article:


"Blood-sucking vampires may have been onto something after all. According to groundbreaking new US studies, the blood of young mice can rejuvenate the brains and muscles in older mice, effectively reversing the toll of aging, the New York Times reports."
-------------------------------------------------

It wouldn't surprise me if scientists discovered that giving older people blood transfusions (from young blood donors) would reverse some of the effects of aging.  The Bible says "For the life of the creature in the blood." - Leviticus 17:11.

Maybe one day entrepreneurs will open up "Blood Bars" for older people who want to get blood transfusions just to feel younger. But even if this turns out to be true, receiving such blood will never alter the truth of the Bible, which says: "It is appointed unto men once to die, and after that the judgment." (Hebrews 9:27).

National Guard Soldier Gets Death Threats for Funeral Pic

Headlines:  National Guard Soldier Gets Death Threats for Funeral Pic - newser.com

Ecerpt from this article:

"A National Guard soldier has been suspended indefinitely from military funeral duties after a picture of her and other soldiers clowning around a training casket surfaced on social media. "We put the FUN in funeral," read the caption on the photo posted on the Instagra..." 
--------------------------------------------

This article sounds a lot like another recent article in the news: Of Course High Schooler Took Selfie With Dead Body, Posted it on Instagram!). Humor is a gift from God and I think there are many good and appropriate things Christians can laugh at (beginning with themselves!). But death isn't one of them.  The Bible says:

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." - Hebrews 9:27

And

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men." - 2 Corinthians 5:10,11

Benefitting from Biblical Funerals

Today is Monday, May 20, 2013. Why don't you start this week off by listening to a couple of good sermons- yes, good sermons - about death and funerals. And if you are into the Goth culture, so much the better!

UK Police to Treat Attacks on Goths as Hate Crimes

UK Police to Treat Attacks on Goths as Hate Crimes - France 24

Excerpt:

A British police force on Thursday began recording attacks on goths and punks as "hate crimes" similar to those suffered by people targeted because of their race, religion or sexual orientation.
Police in Manchester, northwest England, said the new policy would allow them to better protect goths, easily identified on the streets by their black clothes and pale make-up, and members of other "alternative sub-cultures".

I don't hate 'Goths.' And I would never do anything to hurt those who are into that lifestyle/culture. But I would recommend that they listen to the following "Gothic Sermon:"

How to Benefit from a Funeral, by Dr. David Murray

This One's for You, Abby!

"Roses are black

Violets are violence

I'll tie you up to a rack

and gag you with my silence"

-A Goth Poem

I like medical mysteries. I have read many of Patricia Cornwell's books, as well as the novels by Dr. Robin Cook. I also like shows like NCIS where science is used to solve a crime. And I'd be lying if I said that I didn't like Abby (played by Pauley Perrette).

But I do find Abby's "Gothness" disturbing. I have heard that in real life she is not into the Goth culture at all - that this is just a part of her character for the show. I hope that is true.

Unfortunately, fans tend to emulate their favorite stars. And Abby has a lot of fans. She is sort of a 'Goodwill Ambassador' for the Goth Culture.

I just want to make 2 very brief comments about Goth:

1. First of all, I would recommend that Abby (Pauley Perrette) and all of her millions of fans listen to the following "real life Gothic Sermon:"How to Benefit From A Funeral."

2. Second of all, for those who are searching for truth - and hoping to find it in the Goth culture, I would ask them to check out this sermon: Demons and Magic
