Endorenna Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 (yawn) What Jae said. With one addition. Wacky people like the guys who came up with that wierd idea about a very simple verse are the ones who give us Christians a bad name. -_-

Endorenna Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I know. Let me rephrase: It's people, saved or not, taking the Bible out of context like that that gives Christians a bad name.
Astrotoy7 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Like many things in books of old, it is a lifestyle hint that aims to promote health. If you drank water from different sources(even today) you can get quite ill. Anyone from US/UK/OZ dare to try non bottled water from the Asian subcontinent....? Try it, i'll be sure to send you a get well card As for drinking urine, it is a recommended survival tip if you are stuck at sea. If you drink seawater, the salt will dehydrate you quicksmart, lessening your chance of survival. mtfbwya
jrrtoken Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No! But I do it anyway, cause it's sterile and I like the taste.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I didn't know thirstiness was so blasphemous. *runs to the bathroom*
Mav Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No! But I do it anyway, cause it's sterile and I like the taste. Hah, Dodgeball, funny stuff
Samnmax221 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Hah, Dodgeball, funny stuff I want Vince Vaughn to die.

Aash Li Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I think people should learn what a cistern is first... >.> Its a huge box in the ground, made of stone or the like for collecting rain water. The one where I used to live was made of cement, but it had a huge hole in the side, so obviously it didnt work anymore. Oh, and technically, your own urine is sterile until it hits the toilet.
Samnmax221 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Oh, and technically, your own urine is sterile until it hits the toilet. It is however full of waste products.
RedHawke Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I want Vince Vaughn to die. Yeah but he wasn't the main reason to watch that movie... thankfully.
DeadYorick Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Wow the Bible is full of wierd stuff that today people would raise their eyebrow to. Such as this passage Can't you boil salt water if your stuck out in sea? Wouldn't that be better then drinking your own urine?
Samuel Dravis Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I don't see how the quoted verse has anything to do with drinking pee.
Samnmax221 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I don't see how the quoted verse has anything to do with drinking pee. Apparently cistern means penis.
Bee Hoon Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Anyone from US/UK/OZ dare to try non bottled water from the Asian subcontinent....?Why, yes. If the water doesn't get you, the tiger-sized rodents (all carrying Yersinia pestis) and sentient plants will. It's a difficult life, friend.
Andurilblade Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Um, has anybody looked at the context of said verse? Proverbs 5 is Solomon warning his son against playing around with women. It's an exhortation to be satisfied with your wife. So, the verse isn't talking about pee. It's not even talking about water. It's talking about sex.
Astor Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 So, the verse isn't talking about pee. It's not even talking about water. It's talking about sex. I'm not familiar with the bible - but if it is talking about sex, why doesn't it actually say it in clear words?
Sabretooth Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Anyone from US/UK/OZ dare to try non bottled water from the Asian subcontinent....? PROTIP: Asia is not a subcontinent
Endorenna Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I'm not familiar with the bible - but if it is talking about sex, why doesn't it actually say it in clear words? The Bible uses many literary forms, including metaphor. There are parts that are meant to be completely metaphor, and there are other parts that are literal history. Based on the context, it's clear that this is talking about sex. It's like calling someone a bookworm. You're not calling said person a moth larva that eats paper, you're saying that he reads a lot. All the verses before Proverbs 5:15 are talking about not sleeping around with a bunch of women. The ones after are talking about the benefits of not cheating on your wife. So, unless Solomon decided to randomly throw in a health care verse, it's talking about only having sex with your wife.
LordOfTheFish Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Wow the Bible is full of wierd stuff that today people would raise their eyebrow to. Such as this passage Can't you boil salt water if your stuck out in sea? Wouldn't that be better then drinking your own urine? Yes.
Endorenna Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Hmm...I'm not exactly a survival expert, but wouldn't boiling the salt water evaporate the water and leave the salt? o_0 Just wondering.
LordOfTheFish Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 After doing a little research, I take back what I said. I found out that boiling sea water will only concentrate the salt, making the water even more hazardous to your health.
