Tony Erikson Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 I didn't take it in the end. I think in the eyes of god I would have been forgiven. I think men would not have been so understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrietStar Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Surely if you haven't got to the bit 'thou shalt not steal' then you could plead ignorance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavydog Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Hear me out here. Im not normally a thief. Im staying in a hotel tonight and beside my bed is a bible donated by those lovely people the Gideons. I started to give it a read and as god said, it was good. I want to carry on reading it but i am getting tired and have to be up early. Do you think anyone would mind if I took the book? My reasoning would be that potentially it could turn me into a good Christian and by default i believe my sin would be forgiven. If I dont take the book I may never find god and become a Christian and therefore be living my life in sin. I'm stumped. hey why not take the book and then make a good donation to the gideon society? your problem solved and they get some much needed cash!!

chem1st Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 They did have LCD TV's back then, but he was crucified for not having a license. Back in the days when you had to pay a tithe to hear God's word over the EMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ sheffield Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I wonder if they had LCD TVs back then. i could read it online but I think that reading the bible in its original format would be more authentic. I think I shall wait for a sign. You'll be waiting forever, he never signs them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gideons are spreading the word of God. I got one last year...and yes I am a Christian.....I phoned them to ask if I could buy one and the response I got was that they don't sell them....and then I was told to read between what was being said...they don't sell them. If you missed your opportunity though there is a cheap shop on the tramstop at Hillsborough that is selling them for £1 each. If you still want one and missed it I will be very happy to buy one for you edit....just seen you didn't take it.....my offer still stands...if you want one I will buy it and arrange to get it to you. Many Blessings to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 On a similar line, my ma has recently been in hospital and came home with a book entitled 'An Hour with Jesus', she said someone had left it on her bed. I thought it quite funny as she is 95 so told her an hour is OK, but no longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gideon's one is good as it has a section in it that you can turn to in any situation and it gives guidance as to what to read. There were about 30 for sale in the shop on Hillsborough tram stop last week....at £1 each. And it wouldn't have been stealing....they are placed there for people to read (and take...even though it says don't take them). The hotels and venues that have them in rooms have plenty more supplied to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
