Atonement

Man in India marries dog as atonement



11-11-2007 NEW DELHI - A man in southern India married a female dog in a traditional Hindu ceremony as an attempt to atone for stoning two other dogs to death — an act he believes cursed him — a newspaper reported Tuesday.

P. Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.

Selvakumar, 33, told the paper he had been suffering since he stoned two dogs to death and hung their bodies from a tree 15 years ago.

"After that my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear," he said in the report.

The paper said an astrologer had told Selvakumar the wedding was the only way he could cure the maladies. It did not say whether his situation had improved.

Deeply superstitious people in rural India sometimes organize weddings to dogs and other animals, believing it can ward off certain curses.

The paper showed a picture of Selvakumar sitting next to the dog, which was wearing an orange sari and a flower garland.

The paper said the groom and his family then had a feast, while the dog got a bun.

Friends,

The Indian man still sees his doctrine is right, he is proud of his doctrine...
This is an exmple of a false doctrine, a false atonement, of course, it is from the teaching of a false teacher, who had taught him to merry the dog. False doctrine will produces false practise. Beware of false doctrine. Also beware of the false teachers. Do you want to marry a dog? No ! Do you teach other to do so? No !

I think I better remind myself, to ask myself this question, about my relationship with God, closer or not closer, this is a very important question. If my doctrine is right, I will be very close with the Lord, this is the yard stick and measurement of every doctrine.

For those teachers who had taught wrong doctrine, they are punishable, for a beginning, I am asking them to write on the white board with a red marker pen , 5,000 times, (the number of MSS), repeating this sentence ---"I will not teach wrong doctrine like VPP again !"
