the behavior of the Sadducees towards another is in some degree wild, and their conversation with those that are of their own party is as barbarous as if they were strangers to them.
The Christian texts portray the Sadducees as opponents of Jesus of Nazareth. An example is Matthew 16.1-6:
Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Jesus asked that he would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said to them, ‘When it is evening you say, “It will be fair weather, for the sky is red”; and in the morning, “It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.” Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.’ And he left them and departed.
Now when his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.’

Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Luke 11:10 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

…but you should know…Ask-Seek-Knock- must be ONE

All the best….

I asked Google a question but wasn’t given a direct answer. Instead I was presented with different articles along with the one on Li Ching-Yuen. So, please, permit me to digress a little by putting across my question here.

Is it true that in China there was a time when if anyone lived up to 100 years such a person was regarded as a waste and was, for that reason, injected with poison to die? Please, I need contributions with references. Thanks!

ben abba,
i just added you on facebook. i want to ask you questions, if you’re still here. what did mr immortal (the 2800 year-old man) told you about “Jesus Christ?” as you also said not quite literally, he is a knights templar, am i right? who was his grandmaster back then, could you ask him where they hid the treasures (just kidding)?

humprey89,
kababayan pinoy din ako, taga davao pala. im afraid you cant argue more with opethian, it seems he does have a lot of ammos in him since he said he’s a graduate of bio engineering. but using the Scriptures (i prefer to use this term rather than the Bible because the Bible is wrongly translated and it is of pagan origins and Father Yah dislikes pagan practices refer to http://www.eliyah.com/thescriptures/ for correct translations directly from the original hebrew writings) to back things up such as with the case of Methuselah living for about 969 years is quite credible enough if you’d ask me. and if we base on what the Scripture is saying, we must also agree that man is not immortal for it is written by the moment adam and eve ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, man became mortal.

thus, on my opinion about mr immortal (the 2800 year-old man) himself is that he is not immortal. it would mean, if he trully exists, he is older than Yahshua HaMashiach. and if that’s the case mr ben abba, could you please bring me to him. i want to personally ask him questions.
lest, if you are lying mr ben abba about the existence of mr immortal (the 2800 year-old man), you otta be ashamed of yourself. you should stop doing so.

now about Li Ching-Yuen, The Amazing 250 Year-Old Man,
if this story is true i guess his diet was the main factor that contributed to his longevity. let us remember the things that keeps us alive: food (diet), oxygen, water. these things are common to living things of the 5 (others argue 6) Kingdoms of Living Things here on Earth. but what made the difference in mr Li Ching-Yuen’s case? the answer can be found in this article.
“… Li was able to read and write as a child, and by his tenth birthday had traveled in Kansu, Shansi, Tibet, Annam, Siam and Manchuria GATHERING HERBS. For the first hundred years he continued at this occupation. Then he switched to selling herbs gathered by others…”
somehow, the herbs where incorporated in his diet (food). and food is one of the three factors that govern a living thing.
if we want to live a long life, we must eat foods that minimize, or could be, stop the aging process

add me on facebook, junnereyguinid@yahoo.com the name’s jacques demolay. i have a lot of insights about life. peace everyone.
