Voting Question: What should happen next in my story?

It takes place in Madagascar, where a boy is to one day become the magic man. I want it to be a love story, but I want it to be like no other. What would make it different? How would they meet? What would the woman be like? And what problems would they face. They live in tribes by the way, and hunt game and harvest honey. Also, should they have a boy or a girl, and what would make them different? Thank you! And heres a peck of my book! Btw, I5. :) Over the past week, Mandy and Hertz avoided each other, but cast longing looks at each other’s backs. Everyone could see they loved each other and wanted to be together, and did not understand why they refused to see each other, but everyone kept to themselves. Huana was learning quickly and would gather plants in his spare time to ask about them later. When someone was hurt, the magic man would have him construct him on what to do, and Huana would help prepare the medicine. He would often climb the jagged spires and watch the nightfall over the land, to take in the beauty of his home. But after a whole cycle of the moon, Huana wanted to know more than plants. On one of their days in that lush paradise the magic man had first took him to, he decided to ask. “Well, Huana. How would you like to learn songs and rhythms?” The old man asked with an amused look on his face. “What is that?” Huana asked grinning with excitement. The magic man looked around the stone walls surrounding the green heaven. “Have you ever noticed that sounds echo in the pinnacles? The sounds never die. It moves around these parts for eternity, bouncing though the walls. The voices of our ancestors are carried though here, always moving. You never die, but live within the stone walls. And if you are lucky, you can hear them.” Huana looked at him in wonder. “Have you heard them?” He asked with burning curiosity. “Yes.” Huana waited to hear more and was disappointed when he didn’t go on. “Now, I will tell you what songs and rhythms have to do with the voices and spirits. Songs and rhythms have been passed down to father to son for generations, and it was not look ago that the song and rhythms could only be given to the magic man to his son. These songs and rhythms are made to call the spirits to us, the good ones. They hear the sounds and know the meanings. Each rhythm and each song has meaning, some of healing the body and others for healing the soul. I know a few to persuade animals to our will, like to come to us in a hunt, or to ward off evil spirits.” The wise man said placing a drum in front of him. “This is a song and rhythm to keep the evil spirits away.” He said before bowing his head. more

Resolved Question: What's a good printing service in the UK?

I am trying to find a place where to print a few digital photos (high street or online... it doesn't matter). I decided to do a first test and I printed a couple of pictures at Boots. The results were appalling. The prints had nothing to do with the originals. They were over-saturated, they had an evident red cast (believe me... if I can spot a colour cast, it means it's very bad) and they were extremely dark. The printer couldn't be that bad. They must have run some evil enhancement algorithm that believed to be better than me at fixing a photograph. As far as I can see around, most printing services modify your pictures before printing them and there is no way to stop this thing from happening. Do you know of any company that lets you print your photos at a decent price and lets you choose whether you want your pics to be enhanced or not? I'm not looking for ultra-professional labs that charge me £2 per pictures and I am not even searching for an outstanding quality level. I just want an average lab that does not destroy my pictures before sending them to the printer. more

Resolved Question: Ramadan: Emergency(Muslims Help)?

[4.74] Therefore let those fight in the way of Allah, who sell this world's life for the hereafter; and whoever fights in the way of Allah, then be he slain or be he victorious, We shall grant him a mighty reward. [4:95] Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of God with their goods and their persons. God hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath God promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,- [8.12] When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. [8.39] And fight with them until there is no more opposition and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do. [8.57] Therefore if you overtake them in fighting, then scatter by (making an example of) them those who are in their rear, that they may be mindful. [9:4](But the treaties are) not dissolved with those Pagans with whom ye have entered into alliance and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided any one against you. So fulfil your engagements with them to the end of their term: for God loveth the righteous. [9:5] But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise r egular charity, then open the way for them: for God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. [9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection. [9.111] Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain; a promise which is binding on Him in the Taurat and the Injeel and the Quran; and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Rejoice therefore in the pledge which you have made; and that is the mighty achievement. [9.123] O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil). Can anyone break that down and tell me the true meaning. I was on a site filled with people bashing Islam and they've tried to use that as proof that we are violent. Thank you in advance. Salam@first answer: that doesn't help at all.Thank you Susan. A few atheist users have been trying to explain that to them. Everyone there is so hung up on 9/11 and base everything on that alone.

Voting Question: is William Munny the man with no name?

(The Good the Bad and the Ugly 1862 )Blondie gets the 200,000 and decides to move back east not quite making it to Illinois. He meets his future wife in St. Louis and decides to buy a farm and settle in Missouri and starts a family. After assuming the name of Josey Wales he losses all his family and everything after Red Legs pillage and loot his farm and stealing a lock box containing the rest of the gold. (The Outlaw Josey Wales 1865) After riding off into the sunrise he takes Lone Watie's advice and heads for Mexico. After assuming the name Hogan, still worried about Union authorities, he meets up with Sister Sara and they move in together. (Two Mules for Sister Sara 1866) After Hogan tires of the whoreing, gambling and other vices he decides to dump Sara to become a man of the cloth moving north to a small town in Texas and becoming a preacher to a small but growing congregation. The Towns Sheriff is the notoriously mean spirited Stockburn. Stockburn fears that the preacher will expose the fact that he is corrupt and evil so he slips into the preachers house one night and unloads six shots into the Preachers back while he sleeps. On the third day the preacher rises from his death bed as inspired by some kind of divine intervention. Not knowing what God wants him to do he figures he has been brought back as some sort of avenging angel set out to get revenge upon those who have brought grief and havoc to his life. After exacting revenge on Stockburn (Pale Rider 1869) God intervenes once again stripping the Preacher of holiness and casting him out. Being striped of holiness, he still possesses a Christ like mentality of being just and helping people. He assumes the name of Joe and rides into the town of San Miguel and takes care of business with the Baxters and the Rojos. (Fistful of Dollars 1873) After realizing that he still posses the immortal powers and establishing that he is the "Jordan of gunfighters" he desides to become a bounty hunter full time. Realizing that his body is mortal after the beating he receives by the Rojos he aquires a leather hand brace to help steady his right hand, his shooting hand, and quickly realizes that he still has special powers that allow him to never miss with his maimed hand. He sets out on a wide range of bounty hunts assuming the name Manco which he feels is appropriate seeing how he is maimed and one armed for the most part with the exception of shooting. (For a Few Dollars More 1876) As the years pass Manco slips into the depths of evilness and God once again steps in and strips him of all special powers. Broken and bewildered Manco finds himself once more in St. Louis and meets once again his future wife, Claudia. After falling in love, Claudia cures Manco of all wickedness and evil and makes him pure again. (Unforgiven 1881) He assumes the name William Munny and like he did in the past he once again buys a farm. Being without much money he can only afford a small desolate piece of scrap land were he is forced to raise hogs. After Claudia dies he sets out for one last killing with Ned. After Neds death he has lost all hope for life and roams the earth numb and detached becoming a Stranger. (High Plains Drifer 1882) After ridding the town of Lago of all wickedness and evil God assumes that there is good in him once again, thus allowing him to move back to St. Louis for the third and final time and becoming a law man. After getting notice of the death of a Tuco, a long lost friend from way back, he rides out to Oklahoma for the funeral. After learning that Tuco has left him his ranch and a nice little nest egg Cooper decides to stay in Oklahoma and raise some Cattle. (Hang 'Em High 1889) After being so fed up with the system and the ways of the law, Cooper decides to go rogue and ends up in New Mexico and lapes into a state of vagrancy assuming the name of (Joe Kidd. 1896) That is the last we have hear of this character......... more

Resolved Question: all religions say that god can see everything in the the future(near/or far),right...?

ok, for christians/Jesus followers: if god knows everything and can see what's to come(well, some christians claim that Jesus was plan before the angelic beings exist. the blue print was done for Jesus/god's son purpose on earth. why did god created lucifer and his rebellious followers if he knew it before hand....? if you gonna say that it's b/c it's against god's nature then why did god cast satan off to where humans recite or create humans where satan was caste off...? and who is the real blame for mankind's weakness and failure in this world...? will you point a finger to satan like adam and eve or point to the real blame on god, b/c he allow satan to continue to exist or allow satan and the evil spirits to live with the earthling creatures..? the bible almost balance the whole world's problems but there are still many that he left it un answered..... and yeah, every time there is no answer to something- all the religion people will say is "there are things that god doesn't want us to know" BALONEY...!!!!

Resolved Question: Is this an okay story beginning?

Hello It might not be any good. Sorry it's so long. My writing isn't that good. No one in Mistlake have ever heard of the words evil, malicious and wicked. Marlamin Loyalar could walk into Darstina Silversgleaming home at any time of any day with no perplexity. Blissful conversation with no dishonest backbiting could to be heard. Nothing was ever done that wasn't out a compassion and good meaning. Wandattra Goblinsfoe was born into Mistlake to great celebration. Music was played in never ending high spirits and food was never in short supply. "Bless you and this little wonder" "May she be as happy in life as we provide" Compliments were cast around the warm air that became darker as the night drew in. Long hours passed as the celebrations closed to an end. Magnys Goblinsfoe headed back home tired and weary but full of joy thanks to the people of Mistlake. "Sleep my baby for walk the forest ever of hope and glory sleep my baby sleep by baby" She sang the old well known lullaby taught to her by her family from generations. Wandattra Goblinsfoe was beautiful and innocent. Magnys was saddened by the recurring thought that her daughter would never know what a great man her dad had been. "Some it' ain't right since that child been born. I can feel it and I know that I ain't one to say things about a here baby." "I know you mean no harm but you just keep them suspions aye yours to yourself. Ye hear me" Darstina Silversgleaming waved a finger at her neighbour. Marlamin Loyalar bowed his head down and drank his mug of hot chocolate. No one made it better than Darstina Silversgleaming. She was an elderly woman who had time for everyone, except herself. "Oh alright. Best be of, then" Marlamin slipped his hat back onto his overly large head and stepped out into the night heading home. He knew he shouldn't listen to himself when he started thinking things like that, particularly when Darstina Silversgleaming didn't believe it. His thoughts and the party played heavily on his mind during a restless night of little sleep. The morning came quicker for some. Work resumed for another week's pay. Every man and his wife were seen waving goodbye in the early sun. Marlamin Loyalar headed to his own place of work working on the fields. "Nice day t' day" Called over Sunimer Walert bending over to reach for the bag of seeds he'd let go of when the warmth had become to much leading him to take a rest. "Oh yes lovely" Marlamin considered asking him about his suspions but decided he had to forget about them. "Me wife says 'you be careful out there, take a nice long rest I don't want ye turning up here wit' someit wrong wit' ye, I know ye can't stand the heat that well' But I'm no going home wit' someit wrong wit' me..." Sunimer was talking for a long time. He often talked about his wife and their family. By the time he'd finished they'd ended up in the pub. Music filled the walls of the tavern accompanied by the muffled stir of several conversations. The barman, who persisted in giving out his name, beat a heavy hand on the bar in time to the quickening pace of the music. "Me wife will be sayin' stuff if aye don't get home" Sunimer headed of home leaving a half finished drink on the table. He said Marlamin could have the last of it considering he wasn't. Marlamin bowed his hat to the barman and walked of home. He decided to visit Magnys Goblinsfoe just to put his suspisions to rest. "Hello Marlamin Loyalar" She said after opening the door. He smelled of alcohol. She gestured for him to come in. "Hello, Just wanted to see how little Wandattra Goblinsfoe was doin'" He said standing out of place in the warmth of her house. "She's asleep, Do want a coffee?" Asked Magnys heading for the kitchen. "No thank you. Good she's asleep and no bother" He smiled at Magnys and moved to the door. Magnys looked as he made his way home. Marlamin was a nice man she had always thought. He had wanted to check on her daughters well being, how nice she said to herself before falling asleep after in bed. "Marlamin! Marlamin!" It was only early in the morning barely even light. The knocking on the door woke him quickly. Struggling to prise himself from sleep he stumled to the door. When he opened the door he found Sunimer Walert looking upset and distressed. His face had become a purplish red. "She's gone, open me eyes and she's nay there, she's just nay there, anywhere" said Sunimer hurriedly. Thank you for any help and answers more

Resolved Question: Do you believe in "vampires"?

In the bible in Leviticus chapter17 verse 10 It says "And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him from among his people." "Hmmm... I wonder who the strangers among us are. Another mention of “vampires” in the bible is Matthew chapter 8 verse 28-34. Many people have heard of the story where Jesus casts out the two devils into a herd of pigs and they run over a cliff to perish in the water. But if you look closely at what this section really means you will see it in a different light. First off what made me take a closer look was verse 34 “ And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.“ What manner of people after seeing one of Jesus miracles would beseech him to depart from their coast? “Vampires” that’s who. Lets go back up to the beginning verse 28 and 29 “And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.” “And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?” They come out of tombs, are exceedingly fierce, so that no MAN may pass. These are obviously “vampires” Lets go on further to verse 30 and 31 “ And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.” “So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.” Lets think for a second what does cast out really mean? Could it mean that they were made to show their true form? If so they must hide or be hunted therefore they go into the pigs. Verse 33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.” If they were just people that had their devils cast out there would be rejoicing. The term befallen means something bad happened. If they were ‘vampires” then this would be a bad thing. Also think about it when people of that time era and in our no so distant past when someone could do magic they were considered to have devils. So since the “vampires” have power and looked human this is how the humans then rationalized it. The whole city must have been vampires as well or else why wouldn’t they except him? They turned him away so that what happened to of their friends wouldn’t also happen to them. There is a lot of proff that evil things that feast on blood exist just search and you shall find. I found all these in one day how much more can you do for yourself. (Acts ch. 21 vs. 23-26) What is this vow that they speak of, is it a vow of allegiance to Satan? (Matthew ch. 12 vs. 39-45), (Proverbs ch. 1 vs. 10-12), (Proverbs ch.2 vs.16-19), (Proverbs ch. 3 vs. 31-32), (Proverbs ch. 12 vs. 6), (Isaiah ch. 28 vs. 15), ( St. John ch. 3 vs. 19-21), (St. John ch. 21 vs. 23-24), (Revelation ch.17 vs. 6) (Revelation ch. 18 vs. 2), Read Matthew chapter 13 all of it. But for my point verse 11 when asked why he spoke to the multitude in parables he answers saying “Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” Who are them? This world has dynamics that is beyond comprehension. I think that “vampires” are fallen angels or demons. Think about it what are “vampires” known for... immortal, charm, deception, lust, beauty, magic, strength. All attributes that demons or fallen angels would have. Also they have to hide from the sun, symbolic maybe?? I believe in “vampires“. Not that they are exactly the same as we imagine them and they are probably not called “vampires” at all. Satan and his angels did get cast down to earth and all. God said that they are here why have you never seen them? I believe that by making themselves out to be fictional characters that many people lust after and desire to be makes their endeavors easier. They blind in with the “vampire” groupies they wont be unmasked till later at the end times when Jesus’ radiance shows them for what they really are. Its in the bible, majority of the masses will be deceived. Will you fall in the snare? I don't ever say that something is impossible even if it does seem crazy to the majority. God says to be set apart, to be different than everyone else. It also says that non believers would look and not see. My eyes are open to the Lord and I think like no other I know. And no I am not crazy just have a unique belief... everyone’s entitled so please be nice. more

Voting Question: Why is JESUS called the HOLY ONE why OH WHY?

So far we looked at the Anointed ONE and the anointed ones and today we look at the HOLY ONE and holy ones. Last time we said the anointed ones received their anointing from the ANOINTED ONE. Today I say that that holy ones or saints received their holiness from THE HOLY ONE whose Holiness is infinite. Psalm 15 and 53 say; There is NO ONE who does good not even ONE among the sons of men. But about the Holy One he speaks volumes; Psalm 16:10 Says that he would not allow the HOLY ONE to see corruption. This says that though he would die his body wouldn’t see corruption. Other references to the HOLY ONE are Psalms 22:3, 71:22, 89.18 . Proverbs 9:10 Isaiah: 5:19, 1:4 They have forsaken the LORD and provoked the HOLY ONE of ISRAEL to anger, 5:24 they have cast away the law of the LORD and despised the word of the HOLY ONE of ISRAEL, 8:13, 17:7 At that time shall a man look to his maker and his eyes shall have respect for the HOLY ONE of ISRAEL 10:17,20,12:6, 29:19, 23, 30:11, 31:1,33:21,37:23,40:25, 41:14,16,20,43:3, 14, 15, 45:11,47:4, 48:17, 49:7, 54:5,55:5, 60:9,14, 62:12 About the Holy Ones this says that the HOLY ONE is coming with his holy ones Deuteronomy 33:2 Zechariah 14:5 1st Thessalonians 3:13 Jude 14 Hebrew 2:11 For he that makes men holy and those made holy are of one family for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. The HOLY ONE makes men HOLY and he himself is just one individual as the others who receive are called holy ones. WHO was this HOLY ONE? He was so Holy that strange things happened before and after he was born: Mark 1: 24 & Luke 4:34 The man with an evil spirit cried out, Leave us alone, what have we to do with you JESUS of NAZARETH? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are the HOLY ONE of GOD. Luke 1:35 Therefore the HOLY ONE to be born of you will also be called the SON of GOD. We are sinners from birth how is it that this one was holy from birth? For example who teaches small kids to steal? Jesus was the source of HOLINESS and we his brothers are made holy by him. The HOLINESS is the same but there is a SOURCE and those who receive holiness. JESUS is the HOLY ONE and also the ANNOINTED ONE, he is the ONE! And the HOLY ONE is GOD and that is why he is called the HOLY ONE! Even though what he was, was just a man, who he was and is, is far greater! If who he was depended on what he was he would have been stuck as a man. God can be a ROCK but who he is remains the same. more

Resolved Question: Why do people think good deeds will get them into heaven?

The Bible says that nobody is good enough to get into heaven. Each one of us has broken God's commandments--not one person is excepted. You have personally lied and committed other sins. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) Let God be true, but every man a liar...( Romans 3:4) The Bible teaches that even your righteous acts are like filthy rags to God. It does not matter how many good deeds that you do, you still cannot go to heaven based on your deeds. The Bible teaches that your good deeds do not commend you to God in any way. You've ignored him choosing to live life the way YOU see fit. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness's are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isaiah 64:6) According to the above verse, we still come up short even when we try to do good deeds BECAUSE we are not doing them under God's authority. We do them because we think they are good. We ignore what God says. "But I never killed anybody and I'm not a dope addict!" You're still a spiritual crook. YOU HAVE BROKEN THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE BIBLE and you are as guilty as a harlot, a whore monger killer, a thief and a liar. What is the greatest commandment? Matthew 22:36-38 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ALL thy heart, and with ALL thy soul, and with ALL thy mind. THIS is the first and great commandment. It doesn't take much thinking to know that the unregenerate man has broken this commandment every day of his miserable life. Ungrateful, thankful to the God that made him and hath provided life to his carcass. The Bible teaches that if we could earn our way into heaven, Jesus died for nothing! I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. (Galatians 2:21) But he did not die for nothing. Righteousness does NOT come by the law and good works prescribed by false religions like Catholicism, Islam, etc. We need Jesus to pay the price for our sins. We can't do it. God will not accept our made up religions and attempts to please him. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO PLEASE GOD AND THAT IS THROUGH HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST. Not the pope, the Roman priest, Buddha, Muhammad, et al. God is holy. We are sinful. By his very nature, God cannot have fellowship with us sinners. There is no amount of "good" that we can do to make up for our crimes against God. They must be punished. And the wages are DEATH. Somebody has to DIE. Oh, you'll die physically, sin requires that. But you've got a choice about that SECOND DEATH where a man goes to hell and the lake of fire.... We deserve the death penalty. This includes both physical death (the casket) and spiritual death (when the soul is cast into hellfire). The wages of sin is death...(Romans 6:23) God doesn't want to remain your enemy and he does not want you to go to hell. As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die... (Ezekiel 33:11) The Lord is...not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Peter 3:9) It does not matter how many good deeds you do you will not go to Heaven period. more

Resolved Question: Conservatives, taking the Bible into account, what would do if the world ended tomorrow?

Given that the Bible says all of these things, doesn't that mean the conservative policies are NOT Christian? How would you explain this when your judged by your creator?

Resolved Question: Does the opposition even realize that even if McCain was elected...?

It's more than likely he would've done what Obama has done--but in the reverse: Ignored health care reform Ignored campaign finance reform Ignored Wall Street reform Expanded on Bush's programs--including bank bailouts, more immigration enforcement, more oil drilling, more troops in Afghanistan and he would've stayed the course in Iraq. Expansion of the Patriot Act, another war with Iran (you know how much he wanted to "bomb" that country during his campaign stops!), and denial of jobless benefits for the millions of Americans that are out of work and can't find a job; while blaming Democrats for the whole mess. Stimulus bills? It's highly doubtful that he would've implemented them--because being a "war" President meant ignoring the needs of the people on the home front like Bush did. So between McCain and Obama, what was the true alternative to the 2008 election--if what Obama has done in two years is so...*evil*, but going back to sit Old Grouchy Pants in the White House wouldn't have been any better of a choice? Doesn't anyone understand that being President means doing things that are both popular and *unpopular* and is most likely going to piss off one side and make the other more giddy than a teenage girl going to her first prom? Polls are showing that voters like Obama more than his policies, but what can one person have done in light of the worst recession in 80 years? Not done anything for two years and acted like it wasn't his fault in the first place--while professing a certain degree of ignorance and stupidity at the same time? Thus angering the American public in the process? The GOP claims that they have all the answers to our nation's problems, but would you put blind faith in a party that brought this country to its knees--in the first place--through gross mismanagement and expect them to do a better job than the Democrats four years down the road? Just like that? The thing is, no one has the right answers to anything these days. But we are certainly able to jump to the worst conclusions possible by assuming the worst and not even giving people the *chance* to correct an otherwise bad situation. We're too consumed with hatred and denial, ignorance, and outright stupidity. We're ready to cast aside common sense for fear and loathing just because we don't happen to like what's going on. But isn't this what we wanted when we all started to throw our votes into a broken two-party system? We cast our lots with the lesser of two evils each and every time and then are hell bent on making sure that the other side of that "evil" is brought back into a place of power so that they can do...what? Make things worse than before? Spend an entire year or two trying to upset the applecart? Turn the clock back ten or twenty years? Even go for the Big Cheese and attempt impeachment proceedings--all the while wasting precious time and the patience of the American public? Does anyone else besides me see a pattern here in the coming years? Our country, our government isn't going to get *anything* done that will address the needs of the people. Because...hey! We have front row seats to the worst tag-team wrestling matches on the planet: Where two sides are constantly fighting each other 24-7 with no end in sight--using whatever they can at their disposal: Ropes, chairs, dog-chains, anchors, steel bats...whatever they can get their hands on! And people like you and me? We're always going to be at their mercy and nobody really knows what's going to happen next. We are always going to be the ones holding the bag, wondering if anyone is truly listening, or just waiting for the day when things implode again for no apparent reason. Thoughts? more

Resolved Question: Do Christians Actually Believe the Bible?

The bible says you are being deceived. Biblical texts that were in existence prior to the Council of Nicea 325 CE, where the divinity of Jesus was established and where the Virgin birth was confirmed to be real by vote, opposed the divinity of Jesus. Many of the gospels taught that the world was created by an evil god and that salvation came through denying the Hebrew God. (These are valid Christian beliefs.) Salvation came through denying the divinity of Jesus. Do you not believe the words written in your own bible? Do you not see the warnings that have made their way into the text by the hand of the real God? Nowhere does the Bible say that either Jesus Christ or his Father rule this world. On the contrary, Jesus said: "The ruler of this world will be cast out." And he added: "The ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me."—John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11. The Bible shows that an intelligent, unseen person controls both men and nations: "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." "The one called Devil and Satan . . . is misleading the entire inhabited earth."—1 John 5:19; Revelation 12:9. John 12:31 "Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.” Matthew 4:8-10, Satan the devil shows Jesus the glories of the world and promised to give them to him if he worships Satan. Could Satan make this offer if the world is not his? 2Corinthians 4:4, “The god of this system of this has blinded the mind of unbelievers so that they might not know Jehovah.” Satan, an angel created by God, became envious of God. He challenged God's right to rule. He used a serpent to deceive the first woman, Eve, and got her and her husband, Adam, to disobey God. (Genesis 3:1-6; 2 Corinthians 11:3) Satan also said he would turn all of Adam and Eve's unborn offspring away from God. So God is giving Satan time to prove his claim, Job 1:6-12; 2:1-10. With him ruling the world today are some of the angels he deceived from heaven down to the vicinity of the earth. Rev 12:7-9 7 “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceived the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. God knew his thoughts and casted them down to earth. The fall destroyed the previous earth signaling the origin of devil and demons. They decided then to oppose good/GOD. This happened between Gen 1;vs1&2) Isaiah 14:12 - How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! HOW IS IT YOU DO NOT BELIEVE OR HAVE FAITH IN YOUR OWN BIBLE? more

Resolved Question: The birth of Jesus. Which version is the best?

Everybody knows the Biblical story of the birth of Jesus peace be upon him, however, (apart from Muslims) most - if not all - Christians do not know about the Quranic story of the birth of Jesus peace be upon him. So among the two versions, which one is more reasonable and logically acceptable? ♦The Biblical version: => "{1:27} To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name [was] Mary. {1:28} And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women. {1:29} And when she saw [him,] she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.{1:30} And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. {1:31} And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. {1:32} He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: {1:33} And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. {1:34} Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? {1:35} And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." [LUKE] ♦ The Quranic Version: => { Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects. She said: "I seek refuge from thee to ((Allah)) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear Allah." He said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son. She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?" He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us':It is a matter (so) decreed." So she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place. And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: She cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!" But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree): "Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee. "And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee. "So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man, say, 'I have vowed a fast to ((Allah)) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talk with any human being'". At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought! "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?" He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah. He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live. "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable. "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"! Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is. Verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord: Him therefore serve ye: this is a Way that is straight. But the sects differ among themselves: and woe to the unbelievers because of the (coming) Judgment of a Momentous Day! How plainly will they see and hear, the Day that they will appear before Us! but the unjust today are in error manifest! But warn them of the Day of Distress, when the matter will be determined: for (behold,) they are negligent and they do not believe! It is We Who will inherit the earth, and all beings thereon: to Us will they all be returned.} [Quran, Maryam (19): 16-40] Plz no need for offensive answers...O sister of Aaron!!! Mughirah Ibn Shu-bah(r), a companion of the Prophet Muhammad(s) relates that He was receiting the Qur'an before Christians in Najran and whilst reciting the Ayah: ~At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! Truly an amazing thing hast thou brought! "O sister of Aaron"!Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"~ ~{Qur'an 19:27-28}~ The Christians confronted Him and said: ~"You read "O sister of Harun" (i.e. Maryam) in the Qur'an, whereas Moses was born much before Jesus."~ Mughira Ibn Shu-bah(r) did not know the answer so when He came back to the Prophet(s) He asked Muhammad(s) about it, where upon Muhammad(s)said: ~"The (people of the old age) used to give names (to their persons) after the names of Apostle and pious persons who had gone before them."~ ~{Sahih Muslim-Kitaab al adab-vol 3-Hadeeth#[2135]-}~ This Hadeeth of the Prophet opens up 2 avenues of explanation:1} Many Islamic scholars say that Mary(r) had a brother named after Prophet Aaron(a) which could have been possible as many of us (like the Prophet(s) says) give names to our children after the names of Apostles and pious persons. 2} Abdullah Yusif Ali says in his commentary ~"Mary(r) is reminded of Her high lineage"~ which means that She was a blood descendant of Prophet Aaron(a) and Moses(a)and She was given a title of honour after a name of an Apostle of which lineage She came from. Even though Mary could possibly had a brother in her lifetime named after Prophet Aaron(a) the second explaination weighs in with more evidence. However i have found orienlentalists not to be satisfied with the satisfactory answer that the Prophet(s)has given and furthermore they still accuse the Prophet(s)of anachronism.As for the father of Jesus, I guess if you thought about the creation of Adams you would not ask this question,for Allah is able to say "be" for something and "it is". Jesus doesn't have a father and that's why his birth is miraculous. He is the word of God, given to the virgin Mary. That's the Jesus peace be upon him we believe in. more

Resolved Question: 6. For those who reject their Lord (and Cherisher) is the Penalty of Hell: and evil is (such) destination?

SURAT AL MULK 67 1. Blessed be He in Whose hands is Dominion: and He over all things Hath Power― 2. He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving― 3. He Who created the seven heavens one above another; no want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. so turn thy vision again: Seest thou any flaw? 4. Again turn thy vision a second time; (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited, in a state worn out. 5. And We have, (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire. 6. For those who reject their Lord (and Cherisher) is the Penalty of Hell: and evil is (such) destination. 7. When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath even as it blazes forth. 8. Almost bursting with fury: every time a Group is cast therein its Keepers will ask "Did no Warner come to you?" 9. They will say: "Yes indeed: a Warner did come to us, but we rejected him and said `Allah never sent down any (Message): ye are in nothing but an egregious delusion!' " 10. They will further say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence we should not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!" 11. They will then confess their sins: but far will be (Forgiveness) from the Companions of the Blazing Fire! 12. As for those who fear their Lord unseen for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward. 13. And whether ye hide your word or publish it, He certainly has (full) knowledge, of the secrets of (all) hearts. 14. Should He not know― He that created? And He is the One that understands the finest mysteries (and) is well-acquainted (with them). 15. It is He Who has made the earth manageable for you, so traverse ye through its tracts and enjoy of the Sustenance which He furnishes: but unto Him is the Resurrection. 16. Do ye feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the earth when it shakes (as in an earthquake)? 17. Or do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones), so that ye shall know how (terrible) was My warning? 18. But indeed men before them rejected (My warning): then how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)? 19. Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except (Allah) Most Gracious: truly it is He that watches over all things. 20. Nay, who is there that can help you, (even as) an army, besides (Allah) Most Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers. 21. Or who is there that can provide you with Sustenance if He were to withhold His provision? Nay, they obstinately persist in insolent impiety and flight (from the Truth). 22. Is then one who walks headlong, with his face grovelling, better guided― or one who walks evenly on a Straight Way? 23. Say: "It is He Who has created you (and made you grow) and made for you the faculties of hearing, seeing, and understanding: little thanks it is ye give." 24. Say: "It is He Who has multiplied you through the earth, and to Him shall ye be gathered together." 25. They ask: When will this promise be (fulfilled)? If ye are telling the truth. 26. Say: "As to the knowledge of the time, it is with Allah alone: I am (sent) only to warn plainly in public." 27. At length, when they see it close at hand, grieved will be the faces of the Unbelievers, and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise fulfilled) which ye were calling for!" 28. Say: "See ye?― If Allah were to destroy me, and those with me, or if He bestows His Mercy on us― yet who can deliver the Unbelievers from a grievous Penalty?" 29. Say: "He is (Allah) Most Gracious: we have believed in Him, and on Him have we put our trust: so soon will ye know which (of us) it is that is in manifest error." 30.

Resolved Question: Why do missionaries go abroad instead of preaching to Americans in the US?

It is tomfoolery for American Churches to be sending Missionaries overseas! America needs more missionaries than any other place in this globe. Doesn’t the Bible say: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8). When I was in Africa, I was glad to see missionaries come there that they have come to preach the gospel with some of them spending all their time playing video games. Now that I have actually lived here, I will advise all American missionaries to come back home and preach here for we need more missionaries on the home front than in other places. The Bible translators can go to the uttermost part of the earth, but evangelists and teachers should stay put. It is sanctimony going to other places when the abomination of desolation is standing in the holy places. Here, nudity sells meanwhile the people we (Americans) are trying to redeem consider it evil. Here in America people do not talk about God in public places but there are religious and moral instructors in Government Bilingual High Schools in those same places you sent and send missionaries. So who needs more missionaries than the other? If you look at it; New Guinea does not prohibit teachers from telling their students about God; in America they do. You cannot even display the Ten Commandments’ tablets in a law court ; a place meant to uphold justice. No wonder the law here though they say is blind but can actually differentiate one’s color. In most courtrooms in Africa, even though the law is the weapon of the strong, but the Ten Commandments’ plate is still displayed behind the Judges. So who needs more missionaries than the others? In America it is acceptable for a student to tell classmates she is a witch and no one does her anything. In other places such declaration fetches you the judgment prescribed by God in the Bible, because no one should suffer a witch to live (Ex 22:18). So if those people try at least to practice the Bible then they really don’t need your missionaries. Perhaps we should refresh our minds with righteouness essentials: “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye” (Mt 7:3-5). Please refrain from all these sanctimonious gospel, and call your missionaries back home. Send out this SOS: "the situation is critical at home, and we need more supplies: ammunitions and more men if not we will lose the home front to the enemy". This is the telegraph you all should send out to your missionaries. In addition, "our young people will have to accept the draft due to shortage of men, because many have already died to hedonism and mundanity". Until then, America should suspend sending missionaries overseas.But if Christians are persecuted in other countries where it is sometime a crime to preach Gospel, why do we need to send our missionaries to those countries where they will fear even their life. We have millions of homeless and mentally ill people living in our streets that desperately need the touching hand of Jesus. Missionaries should go among the homeless and mentally ill people shouting in the street instead of going to countries where they reject the Gospel as a whole. more

Resolved Question: What do you think about these verses?

Resolved Question: How many have the Iliad from cover to cover?

I am a little shocked that some don't believe in the almighy overlord Zeus. It comes from this book see. Book One 1) Invocation and summary of the story of the Illiad: "Sing, goddess, of Achilles ruinous anger Which brought ten thousand pains to the Achaeans, And cast the souls of many stalwart heroes To Hades, and their bodies to the dogs And birds of prey." Lines 1-5 2) Zeus, explaining the absolute power of his will to Thetis, the mother of Achilles: "Nothing can be revoked or said in vain nor unfulfilled if I should nod my head." Lines 526-527 Book Three 3) Hector, rebuking his brother for lack of honor: "Paris, you handsome, woman-mad deceiver, you shouldn't have been born, or killed unmarried. I wish you had-it would have been far better Than having you our shame, whom all suspect, Or having the long-haired Acheans laugh When you appear as champion-champion beauty- But have no strength, nor character, nor courage." Lines 40-45 Book Six 4) Hector, saying farewell to his wife: "No man, against my fate, sends me to Hades'. And as for fate, I'm sure no man escapes it, Neither a good nor bad man, once he's born." Lines 487-489 Book Nine 5) Achilles, questioning the motives for the Trojan war as Odysseus tries to bring him back to the fighting: "But why must the Argives fight the Trojans? Why did Atreus' son assemble and bring us? Wasn't it for Helen's sake? Are Atreus' sons the only men who love their wives?" Lines 336-340 Book Sixteen 6) Patroclus, asking Achilles for permission to join the fighting: '"Give me your armor to put on your shoulders; The Trojans might suppose I was you, Hold back, and give the Acheans' sons a breather, For breathing spells in war are very few. Then, with a shout, fresh men might easily Turn tired men from the ships toward the city." So, like a fool he begged; for it would be An evil death and doom for himself he asked.' Lines 40-47 Book Eighteen 7) Achilles' remorse for his hand in Patroclus death: "I sat by the ships, a useless burden, though there are better in Assembly- so may this strife of men and gods be done with." Lines 104-107 Book Twenty-two 8) Achilles, as he kills Hector: "No more entreating, dog, by knees or parents. I only wish my fury would compel me To cut away your flesh and eat it raw For what you've done. No one can keep the dogs Off of your head, not if they brought me ransom Of ten or twenty times as much, or more." Lines 345-350 Book Twenty-Four 9) Priam, King of Troy, begging for Hector's body: "'Honor the gods, Achilles; pity him. Think of your father; I'm more pitiful; I've suffered what no other mortal has, I've kissed the hand of one who killed my children.' He spoke, and stirred Achilles' grief to tears; He gently pushed the old man's hand away. They both remembered; Priam wept for Hector, Sitting crouched before Achilles' feet. Achilles mourned his father, then again Patroculs, and their mourning stirred the house." Lines 503-513 Achilles: "Don't be angry, Patroclus, if you learn- even though you're in Hades-I gave Hector back to his father for a worthy ransom But I shall give a proper share to you."

Resolved Question: Does today's propagated christian ideology enable men to justify corrupt behaviour?

I asked this question earlier but failed to get an answer on this. Do you think church men are honest or dishonest: for the most part. In my opinion I say they are the worst that humanity has to offer because they not only justify the corruption within themselves but they claim that God does too. If one listens to those who claim to be christians they will hear that they claim the difference between them and non-Christians is that they are forgiven. Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Mat 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled (with righteousness; this is absolutely the implication here). 1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Joh 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Joh 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. Jesus' teachings clearly contradict today's idea that one can be forgiven by just mental acceptance of his sacrifice, but isn't today's so-called christian beliefs guilty of teaching men that they don't have to stop committing wrong in order to be forgiven? On the contrary they say they can't stop doing wrong and then quote Paul's dialogue of a pre-converted man's struggles, in Romans 7, to justify their sins: as they claim that that is their experience and neglect to see that their experience contradicts Jesus' words. So again I ask, "is today's propagated christian ideology enable men to justify corrupt behaviour?" more

Resolved Question: My Captain America movie chain of events idea. Comic book junkies especially, what do you think?

This is how I would handle the movie given the opportunity. I'm pretty much on agreement with the casting choices so the only thing I will add is Adolf Hitler be played by J.K. Simmons. He will kinda be like Skuull's version of Nick Fury if you will since him and Cap are opposites to each other. ::The Beggining:: We are brough to Germany during the year of 1929. Johan Schmid is working as a porter at a hotel where a politician by the name of Adolf Hitler is staying at. He sees something in the young man. A hardened soul and a potential to do great evil. After awhile, he hires the youth to do some chores for him ranging from making certain people disappear to simple errands. From this moment on, Hitler takes Johan under his wing. Johan is 14 here. Now we go to America. This is a time with no cell phones and no TV. People were more nipped(spelling) with eachother and knew most by their first name. A young teen riding his bike, Steve Rogers, soluting the soldiers comming home for leave while delivering news papers which have headlines about the up-comming stock market. The depression is about to hit but the characters don't know it yet. This is a very feel good jazzy moment in American society and it is captured in this scene. People are happy and living pretty good. Employment is steady. Then the inevitable happens. More and more news papers talk about whats going on in Germany as a rising power is taking place during a very vulnerable time. Hitler is on the rise. Steve, listening to radio reports of Americans prepping for war as things unfold, talks with his friend from the neighborhood, Bucky, about joining the army. Bucky kinda gives Steve a look as if he is out of his mind. He explains that the military woudln't even look at him twice due to his physique. Despite everything, Steve goes to the recruiters the next day only to get turned down. Saddened, Steve goes home and to his room to throw his baseball at his ceiling and catch it as a coping mechanism. His mother calls him down saying that someone wants to speak to him. Asking who it is, his mom replies that it's a man from the army. Excited, yet skeptical, Steve goes down to see a man who introduces himself as Sgt. Nicholas Fury from the U.S. Army. The two go outside to take a walk in the nice summer night. People are sitting on benches talking about the upcomming ball game and saying hi to Steve. Fury explains to him that there is a top secret government project called "The Super Soldier", which he goes into detail with the kid. Fury tells Steve he is the ideal candidate for the experiment which will not only change his entire being, but make him suitable to go into what is explained to look like the next world war. The following day, Nick picks Steve up and the process and training begins. Back to Germany, we are seeing lots of politcal action going on as Hitler hints to all his followers that he has a special someone who he personally has been training to assist the good people of Nazi Germany to take over the world. We cut to a room where Johan is practicing hand to hand with some of Germany's best fighters at Hitler's expense. After seeing Johan dispatch the men, Adolf presents his apprentice with a gift. Asking Johan to bow before him, Hitler hands down a mask made from dead skin of Jews. Colored red from burns done by experiments and whatnot, Johan dons the mask and becomes a symbol of what Nazi German stands for. Fear in others. "From this moment on, you will, from no other than myself, be known as Johan Schmid, but be known to the people and the world as the Red Skull!!" replies Hitler. Steve undergoes vigorous training. After recieving the serum, Nick and scientists observe as Rogers competes with martial art granmasters, body builders, track runners, balet trainers, olympian athletes as well as mountain climbers. After all is finished, Steve Rogers, having the muscles, dexterity, agility, endurance, and flexibilty at human peak is now given the title, Captain America! ::Middle:: We are war. Years have gone by as the enemy has taken the fight to new grounds and gained more followers as well as taking over more land. It is now 1944. Japan has brought us into the war officially. Captain America, in his completed form, wearing camaflodge(spelling) army pants, a red white and blut with a star in the middle, armored top and his symbolic face piece, awaits on a boat with a bunch of other soldiers. This platoon is being lead be Steve's friend and mentor, Nick Fury. As the film goes on, it is found that Bucky has stowed away on the ship and lied about his age to become a soldier. He fights along Rogers in some of the battles. Nick smokes his cigars as he shouts out orders...... ...to be continued more

Resolved Question: Should Paul's writings be removed from the bible?

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. (Pro 18:13) In order for one to have an educated decision: one must first be educated. Paul micro-managed his followers, Jesus never did. Paul was caught up in the semantics of his faith; Jesus only cared about how to practically live out his faith and he taught his followers the principles by which he did so. Paul was rejected by all his followers in Asia, what caused Paul to be rejected by Asia? Was it his micro-managing of them? Was it his doctrine? Paul said that all scripture is inspire by God and that holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. Can we say that Paul's words are inspired by God? Just to say so without judging those words would be to base one's belief on what? A sound foundation? NO. So what if we can prove Paul's words were not inspired by God, would this prove his words should be removed from our bibles and he should be discarded as a heretic? We all make mistakes: don't we? But how can we judge Paul? The churches of Asia did and the all left him: including the church of Corinth. I know many people would not dare to judge Paul, but the churches of Asia did and the writing to the churches of Asia, from John, around the same time that Paul wrote to Timothy about all of Asia forsaking him shows that they did not reject Jesus: just Paul. Revelations 17 verses 9 and 10 tell us that John wrote Revelations no later than 70 A.D. and history scholars tell us that 2nd Timothy was the last book that Paul wrote before his death in around 67 A.D. so it appears that Revelations was written to the churches of Asia: around the same time Asia forsook Paul. What did Paul do so wrong that Asia would reject him, but make no mistake, in rejecting Paul they did not reject Jesus, actually one church, the church in Smyrna, seems to have gotten it exactly right. Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers;. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Rom 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: Rom 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Let's take a look at these words and see if they are right or wrong. I know many of you would like to quote other verses, but I want to ask you to refrain from your thoughts for a moment and just remain focused on the words that Paul wrote and see if they are correct or not. If they are not correct: then we can clearly say they are not from God and should not be considered scripture. Paul said if one does good: they will receive praise from the same. Who killed Jesus? Who killed Paul? Who killed Peter? Who killed multitudes of early christians: throwing them to the lions? Was Hitler a minister of God or Satan? Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? Beasts represent government in prophecy and Satan gives his power to them, so should you submit to all or any government (men who wish to force themselves upon you) are ALL governments from God or are they really ALL from Satan: as he told Jesus they were when he offered the power of them to Jesus? Luk 4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms/GOVERNMENTS of the world in a moment of time. Luk 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. Luk 4:7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. Luk 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Now a beast, in prophecy, represents Government and the Dragon/Serpent represents Satan. If one cannot serve two masters: is not serving government serving Satan? Are Governments (Men controlling and forcing they ways upon men) really from God, or was Paul a heretic? more

Resolved Question: Does this sound like Schizophrenia? Kind of long (sorry...)?

I've been feeling very strange lately. I really don't know how to elaborate on that, it's hard to explain. In November of last year, I became burned out (the doctor actually told me that) due to a lot of stress because of school and shows that I was in and stuff. Anyway, I haven't felt the same since. Everyday I feel very...confused? I don't even know if that's the right word. You know what depersonalization and derealization is? It almost feels similar to that. Like the things I'm so used to all of a sudden aren't very clear. Since I was burned out, my performances weren't as good as they used to be. Every negative thing that people have told me, everything that I have done wrong is burned into my brain. I used to be able to just let them go and move on and get better. Now I feel paralyzed with fear. My nerves are so shot I can't even focus right on the stage anymore. What's worse is the passion I once felt for it still seems to be there, but it's buried beneath a whole bunch of self doubt and confusion. I feel like I don't know how to act anymore. I know this may seem like just severe anxiety. But those aren't the only symptoms. I've always been the type of person to believe in otherworldly things (such as signs, spirits, synchronicity, etc...) but I've also been "here" (as in on earth, lol). Lately though, because I've been obsessed with 2 specific things, I feel like my belief in signs is getting a bit out of control. I think I see signs everywhere, but then second guess myself and tell myself to stay grounded. But then I;m confused as to whether that means I don't believe in that stuff anymore, then get scared that the universe won't talk to me or guide me anymore. All the while I'm thinking this, I'm also thinking how completely absurd I sound. My paranoia has been through the roof lately too. I'm always paranoid, but it's been extremely bad lately. I feel like everyone hates me, and since I haven't done such a good job and would constantly ask others if I was good enough, I'll never get cast again. People just seem like they hate me or are fed up with me lately. My thoughts are such a mess. Somehow, I can go from thinking about everything I've done wrong in shows, to my past crush who used to look at me a certain way, to how bad I am of a person, all in a matter of about 2 minutes. It's just one long endless thought. I'm very scared too and depressed. The depression is very heavy. More heavy than I remember it being. And when I say scared. I mean, terrified. I was in a church yesterday by myself. I like to go into churches and just talk to God and to Jesus. The whole time I was in there, I felt very on edge. Like someone was watching me. I felt bad and still feel bad for feeling that way. I felt like God and Jesus were mad at me and just that there was something evil around me.I feel bad for saying and thinking that, but I'm scared and confused as to why I feel like this. I do have a therapist, I've been seeing her for a few years. I told her about the signs and stuff and she asked me if I hear things talking to me, I said no. I told her sometimes I don't feel at home here. Like I don't belong on this earth, and she asked me if I thought I was some kind of made up queen of a galaxy for example, I said no. While part of me is still here and coherent with the world around me, I feel like that clarity is getting more and more hazy. Like the line between reality and fiction is becoming more and more blurred. Just so ya know, I do have a quite a few diagnoses. I don't know if that increases my likelihood of developing Schizophrenia, but they are: Borderline Personality Disorder OCD Generalized Anxiety Disorder Body Dysmorphic Disorder Social Anxiety Disorder Schizotypal Personality Disorder (but she decided to "undiagnosed" me. She said I'm an actress, not schizotypal. Ok...) Depression Any help here? What do you think? I should let you know, that when I was around 11, I started seeing things (such as saints and angels, for example), and lights would start spinning when I walked by (I have 3 family members to vouch for me on that one. They saw it, I didn't. Now when I get upset, sometimes lights bust and stuff. It's weird. (Ok, busting of the light inly happened once, but still.) So sorry this was unnecessarily long. Thank you for your help! more

Resolved Question: For all those Christian music lovers......?

Hi Just out of pure curiosity: 1) What are your top three Christian singers/bands? 2) What are your top three favourite Christian movies? 3) What are top three Christian songs and why? Most detailed answer will get ten points! Here are my answers: 1) Casting Crowns!!!!! (I love their music sooooo much) Chris Tomlin (and Louie Giglio) Steven Curtis Chapman 2) Fireproof Facing The Giants Flywheel (All by Sherwood Pictures) 3) While You Were Sleeping: I love this song by Casting Crowns because the message behind the words really spoke to me the first time I heard it. Its message basically states, what will happen if we are so ignorant to Jesus that we miss his coming. The line/s I love the most and that really makes me think is: Oh little town of Jerusalem Looks like another silent night The Father gave His only Son The Way, the Truth, the Life had come But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save Here I Go Again: Again by Casting Crowns. This song made me cry. The story and meaning applies to each and every one of us Christians. I guarentee that you have family of friends that are not saved. This song is about the hardship of evangelizing a friend. It shows the worry we have of being laughed or scorned at for our belief. Here are the lines that I feel most strongly about: I don't know what to say I only know it hurts To see my only friend slowly fade away Lord, You love him so, You gave Your only Son If he will just believe; he will never die But how then will he know what he has never heard Slow Fade: By Casting Crowns- This song is one that I live by. It basically talks about how we should not let ourselves go to evil temptations. The song talks especially about adultery and the relationship between a husband and a wife. The words that I like the best are: And thoughts invade, choices are made A price will be paid When you give yourself away People never crumble in a day Here are some links for you to listen to the songs. Feel free to do the same in your answer. While You Were Sleeping: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rqhG2yT-58 (By the way at the end of the song when he refers to America, the song isnt meant to offend people and tell you that you are evil. Im not trying to offend anyone by showing the song. I just like the meaning in general for the whole world not just America. If it helps, Casting Crowns are Americans themselves so they arent just ragging on America.)

Resolved Question: Good first chapter? Do you want to keep reading?

The wind brushed against my skin, and I shivered silently. I had no where to go, no one was there to help me. I shuffled along the cracked sidewalk alerted but weary. The sunset was the most beautiful color pink. Little bits of purple and yellow swirled itself through the sky. I gazed up at the beauty. I walked, minding my own business and a new park I haven’t seen before got bigger and bigger before my eyes. Before I knew it I was at the front gate, which wasn’t even closed. The park seemed not finished. All there was, was a swing set (half assembled) and a tree house. I blinked and the memory of my old tree house played in my mind like a rerun of my past. Me and my father were playing in our tree house. The tree house was lifted in the air by a tall tree, one that I did not know the name of. The walls inside were messily painted by me, age seven at the time. My dad built me a chair, a toy box, and a window sill planter for my tree house and it was so me, so special. I spent days up there with my dad, friends, or even by myself. Then one day my (Evil Step-mom) was angry at me for accidentally breaking a fine china plate. Isaac, my step-brother pushed me into the white, oak shelf where Gloria’s (My step-moms) china was perfectly seated. A small plate used for teacups, fell shattering onto the ground. The noise upset Ian, my second step brother and he began to cry. I dodged a slap from Gloria and sprinted into my tree house. Gloria climbed in after me and pushed me out. I broke my wrist and was in a cast for 6 weeks. Gloria said I had fallen out but my dad was suspicious because I had never even stumbled out that little door before, none the less fallen. I shook away the memory and stopped before really entering the park. I had ran away about 2 years ago, and if workers would come to work on the park in the morning, they might find me. I needed to find a place soon, or it would be completely dark, and dangerous. I heard footsteps trotting along the same side walk I was on and I turned around violently. A cop was searching the park for trespassers. I couldn’t be found, My face is on hundreds of flyers, everyone was still looking for me, still. After all this time the hope was still there… I gently and quietly sprinted to the bush that was growing solemnly next to the fence that surrounded the park. I crouched into a human ball hopefully invisible to the human eye. The cop walked past me and then stopped maybe two yards ahead. He turned slowly around and started toward the bush. “Beth?” he whispered into the bush. I closed my eyes in disbelief, how did he possibly see me? I stood up and brushed my legs off. I took a deep breath of air in as I realized, He had found me. “Bethany Mae!” He smiled. “ You are safe! Everyone was worried about you! Are you okay?” I shook my head and backed away. “Beth, its alright, you can go home to Ted and Gloria! They’ll be thrilled!” “That witch is still with my dad?” I said in a tone of voice I hadn’t used in years. “Witch?” he said unsurely. “ I can’t go back, tell them I’m safe but until Gloria is gone, I’m not going home.” The cop reached for me but I took off sprinting, anywhere, no where, somewhere. I needed to get away. I couldn’t go back to Gloria. She’d kill me. The cop was following me and so was a random person who had recognized me as I passed. My year as a track star paid off, I sprinted down a hill losing the unknown stranger. He had tripped over a skateboard and was pretty much rolling down the hill. The cop huffed and turned to assist the guy who had made his way down the hill tumbling and turning. I hiked over a fence into the school yard and around a bank. I finally had to stop to catch my breath but the followers were no where to be seen. They had found me, and they are going to tell people they had found me, and people are going to be looking for me harder than ever. more

Resolved Question: What doyou think of my Captan America film concept ideas so far?

This is just something I am ranting aboutjust for fun. This is how I would handle the movie given the opportunity. I'm pretty much on agreement with the casting choices so the only thing I will add is Adolf Hitler be played by J.K. Simmons. He will kinda be like Skuull's version of Nick Fury if you will since him and Cap are opposites to each other. ::The Beggining:: We are brough to Germany during the year of 1929. Johan Schmid is working as a porter at a hotel where a politician by the name of Adolf Hitler is staying at. He sees something in the young man. A hardened soul and a potential to do great evil. After awhile, he hires the youth to do some chores for him ranging from making certain people disappear to simple errands. From this moment on, Hitler takes Johan under his wing. Johan is 14 here. Now we go to America. This is a time with no cell phones and no TV. People were more nipped(spelling) with eachother and knew most by their first name. A young teen riding his bike, Steve Rogers, soluting the soldiers comming home for leave while delivering news papers which have headlines about the up-comming stock market. The depression is about to hit but the characters don't know it yet. This is a very feel good jazzy moment in American society and it is captured in this scene. People are happy and living pretty good. Employment is steady. Then the inevitable happens. More and more news papers talk about whats going on in Germany as a rising power is taking place during a very vulnerable time. Hitler is on the rise. Steve, listening to radio reports of Americans prepping for war as things unfold, talks with his friend from the neighborhood, Bucky, about joining the army. Bucky kinda gives Steve a look as if he is out of his mind. He explains that the military woudln't even look at him twice due to his physique. Despite everything, Steve goes to the recruiters the next day only to get turned down. Saddened, Steve goes home and to his room to throw his baseball at his ceiling and catch it as a coping mechanism. His mother calls him down saying that someone wants to speak to him. Asking who it is, his mom replies that it's a man from the army. Excited, yet skeptical, Steve goes down to see a man who introduces himself as Sgt. Nicholas Fury from the U.S. Army. The two go outside to take a walk in the nice summer night. People are sitting on benches talking about the upcomming ball game and saying hi to Steve. Fury explains to him that there is a top secret government project called "The Super Soldier", which he goes into detail with the kid. Fury tells Steve he is the ideal candidate for the experiment which will not only change his entire being, but make him suitable to go into what is explained to look like the next world war. The following day, Nick picks Steve up and the process and training begins. Back to Germany, we are seeing lots of politcal action going on as Hitler hints to all his followers that he has a special someone who he personally has been training to assist the good people of Nazi Germany to take over the world. We cut to a room where Johan is practicing hand to hand with some of Germany's best fighters at Hitler's expense. After seeing Johan dispatch the men, Adolf presents his apprentice with a gift. Asking Johan to bow before him, Hitler hands down a mask made from dead skin of Jews. Colored red from burns done by experiments and whatnot, Johan dons the mask and becomes a symbol of what Nazi German stands for. Fear in others. "From this moment on, you will, from no other than myself, be known as Johan Schmid, but be known to the people and the world as the Red Skull!!" replies Hitler. Steve undergoes vigorous training. After recieving the serum, Nick and scientists observe as Rogers competes with martial art granmasters, body builders, track runners, balet trainers, olympian athletes as well as mountain climbers. After all is finished, Steve Rogers, having the muscles, dexterity, agility, endurance, and flexibilty at human peak is now given the title, Captain America! ::Middle:: We are war. Years have gone by as the enemy has taken the fight to new grounds and gained more followers as well as taking over more land. It is now 1944. Japan has brought us into the war officially. Captain America, in his completed form, wearing camaflodge(spelling) army pants, a red white and blut with a star in the middle, armored top and his symbolic face piece, awaits on a boat with a bunch of other soldiers. This platoon is being lead be Steve's friend and mentor, Nick Fury. As the film goes on, it is found that Bucky has stowed away on the ship and lied about his age to become a soldier. He fights along Rogers in some of the battles. Nick smokes his cigars as he shouts out orders...... ...to be continued more

Resolved Question: What do you think of this poem?

My sister wrote this poem. She's only nine and three quarters. I said it was really good, but she thinks I'm saying that just because I'm her big sister. Tell me what YOU think. Cast Hill There was a hill that I used to live upon Not to far from a sign that said “Salon” It was called cast hill Parents of whomever went down on their bikes were the opposite of thrilled 99% of the people who went down went into cast They are severely hurt after they crashed Now let’s have a blast Let’s look at the past It was a great day for a bike ride Emily, Alex, Maggie, Cecelia, Lindsey and Ashley by my side I dare go down the hill I thought “What the hay, I doubt I’ll be killed.” With my heart thumping I got a rush and my adrenaline was pumping I knew about the hill When I told my parents where I was going they didn’t sound too thrilled I promised myself I would ride down, that I wouldn’t get hurt, so I went down I wasn’t hurt I didn’t go even near the ground I didn’t die, I didn’t crash I didn’t even get a scratch The girls all cheered The boys across the street in tears They were so disappointed that a girl had done it not a boy They were all watching Cameron, Niles, Kain, Josh, and even the stray dog, McCoy I was the first to survive biking down the hill without even stopping The grown-ups watching’s jaws were dropping Without being scratched, bruised, or in a cast Someone had survived oh at last Right then I made my first poem I’d been trying to make for years The girls and the boys rose their juice boxes and then they all said “Cheers!” They were all so proud they wanted to do it too Emily went down, her face had a frown, and out of her arm came red goo Alex’s turn and right when she was about to finish , she ran into a curb She ran into the curb and seemed really confused Not long after that she discovered a bruise Maggie, went down without any second thoughts She failed, and she got lots and lots of cuts Cecilia hesitated We all waited Maggie started to get bored and pushed Cecelia down Cecelia yelled at Maggie as she went down with a huge frown She got a bloody lip Even a badly bruised hip “Your turn Lindsey.” Cecelia said with an evil grin Of course, she fell down and scraped her chin She tried to sing a little lament She didn’t sing it very well, since she lost some teeth when she hit some cement I’m surprised that she didn’t even cry Lindsey also got a broken nose and a black eye After Ashley saw all of that she said “No way Jose! I quit!” We all talked her back into it She went down and had a huge fall Ashley, believe it or not, had the worst injury of all All the girls had gone down at last After all of that I was still sad to see Ashley in a full body cast Finally the boys wanted to go down all at the same time They thought they were the kings, the best, the prime But who were the girls, us or the screaming, and crying people with short haircuts Then I thought to myself sarcastically “Oh yeah, the girls are us.” more

Resolved Question: What do you think about what this teacher has to say after working for years in an all black school?

I read a book by an expatriate Rhodesian who visited Zimbabwe not too many years ago. Traveling with a companion, she stopped at a store along the highway. A black man materialized next to her car window. “Job, boss, (I) work good, boss,” he pleaded. “You give job.” “What happened to your old job?” the expatriate white asked. The black man replied in the straightforward manner of his race: “We drove out the whites. No more jobs. You give job.” At some level, my students understand the same thing. One day I asked the bored, black faces staring back at me. “What would happen if all the white people in America disappeared tomorrow?” “We screwed,” a young, pitch-black boy screamed back. The rest of the blacks laughed. I have had children tell me to my face as they struggled with an assignment. “I cain’t do dis,” Mr. Jackson. “I black.” The point is that human beings are not always rational. It is in the black man’s interest to have whites in Zimbabwe but he drives them out and starves. Most whites do not think black Americans could ever do anything so irrational. They see blacks on television smiling, fighting evil whites, embodying white values. But the real black is not on television, and you pull your purse closer when you see him, and you lock the car doors when he swaggers by with his pants hanging down almost to his knees. For those of you with children, better a smaller house in a white district than a fancy one near a black school. Much better an older car than your most precious jewels cast into a school where they will be a minority. I have been in parent-teacher conferences that broke my heart: the child pleading with his parents to take him out of school; the parents convinced their child’s fears are groundless. If you love your child, show her you care — not by giving her fancy vacations or a car, but making her innocent years safe and happy. Give her the gift of a white school. Of course, even the whitest schools are riddled with liberalism. There is only one way to educate your children in a way that does not poison their minds. If at all possible, home school your children. Educate them yourself. more

Resolved Question: Why do People support Paul as though his words are God's?

Atheists, you serve no purpose in this discussion: so please find somewhere else to post. Mohammad claimed to have an experience with God: so why not believe him? Joseph Smith claimed to hear from God: why not support him? The Pope claims to be God's Authority on Earth, why not listen to him: after all he speaks for God. Ellen G. White supposedly had multiple expediences and surely she must be right: no? Jesus said worship the Lord God and serve Him only. Paul stated Governments are ministers of God: so HOW DARE THE USA OVERTHROW HUSEIN AND THE TALIBAN? Hitler/Bush put a gun in your hands and you violate everything Jesus stood for, in loving your enemies and turning the other cheek, to obey Paul: who was rejected by all of Asia? (2Timothy 1:15) The men of Asia knew Paul personally and you feel that Paul was an Apostle because He said so and countless other millions who knew him not also believe so, but does God side with numbers? Look at Romans 13:1-6 and one cannot but see that Paul was wrong and his death is proof that his words are false. Notice Revelations 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. The Dragon (Serpent) is Satan and Beasts are Governments Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Satan gives his power to Government and always has. If I overthrow a government and succeed: am I good or evil? How do you think governments gained power up until democracy took place? So were all those Governments evil and democracy good? Or were some of those governments good and some evil and then which were good and which evil? Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms(GOVERNMENTS) of the world, and the glory of them; Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Is Jesus right and God is the only one to be served, and you cannot serve to masters, or is Paul right: when he says governments are ministers of God? Jesus never said to serve Government, only to return to Caesar that which was his: coins that had his image on them, proving those coins belonged to him. He was not even saying to pay taxes and only did so because his purpose was not to deal with government: at that time. Jesus never actually paid taxes: if one looks closely Mat 17:24; And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? Mat 17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? Mat 17:26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Mat 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them (LOOK CLOSELY PEOPLE: Jesus was not a Roman and thus obligated under Roman law to pay taxes and he states not to cause offense AT THAT TIME. Jesus had a different purpose then to deal with Government directly at that time and he is clearly against giving the tax and thus states to do so "lest we cause offense" and he is hindered from completing his purposes.), go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. The fish yielded the money and Peter gave it: but clearly Jesus did not think it right to support Caesar. Luk 20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? Luk 20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? If the answer is so simple: where is the trap? Luk 20:25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. Give Caesar his money and serve GOD AND HIM ALONE; you cannot serve God and government. Love people: if you serve Government you are supporting murder; Am I wrong? Ask the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. Both the governments that oppressed those people and those who claim to be liberating them are guilty of the same things. Early Christians died for their faith and early governments saw them as enemies to their power and seeing that they are S more

Resolved Question: What do you think about these verses of the Holy Qura'n?

Resolved Question: look what Jesus says about prayer... real fact?

Jesus is a pure ******** liar. prayer is described as wishing... read a few quotes below.. 1) And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:21-22 NAS) 2) Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8 NAB) 3) Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst. (Matthew 18:19-20 NAS) 4) Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. (Mark 11:24-25 NAB) 5) And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (Luke 11:9-13 NAB) 6) And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14 NAB) 7) If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. (John 15:7 NAB) 8) It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. (John 15:16 NAB) 9) On that day you will not question me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. (John 16:23-24 NAB) -------------------------------------------------------------------- A lot of Christians >ignore< what Jesus actually says in the Bible. They also tend to add things to the actual words to make them say something else. If you honestly and truthfully read these quotes, without adding to them, it is very easy to see that Jesus is *not saying* that ***God will >*think*< about your prayers.***** He says God will grant all your prayers. Clearly, God doesn’t grant all prayers and this proves that Jesus was a habitual liar. I went to the church and the priest of churches lie* also "they say if you tithe (give 10% of your income to church) then god will answer your prayers. some churches talk more about money than about god. purely this is fraudulent. eg prayer has no limitations to what jesus says ... you could basically pray for anything you desire.....eg if you pray for evil powers, a powerful healer, ultimate knowledge and to be a god.. it will all be rejected because god has a will.. and its up to god to reject 99.99999 % of all every bodies prayer.. no wonder 50% (3 billion) of the world lives in poverty on $3 of less. more

Resolved Question: Ramadan: Sodomy/lesbianism: Muslims, why do you blame Christianity for the spread of sodomy and lesbianism?

Muslims, do you know that despite your generalized attacks on Christianity over the rampant sodomy and lesbianism in the west, the Christian scripture condemn the act more than does your scripture? From what I have been seeing in Yahoo Q & A and elsewhere, whenever Westerners exercise their lustful liberties Muslims seem to blame Christianity ignorantly or mischievously. These are what the Holy Bible says on Sodomy and lesbianism: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" (Romans 1:26-28) "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites . . . will inherit the kingdom of God." (I Corinthians 6:9-10) "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. " (Leviticus 18:22-23) "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. " (Leviticus 20:13) "There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, or a sodomite of the sons of Israel. Thou shall not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God."( Deuteronomy 23:17-18) 'And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done. And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel." ( 1 Kings 14:22, 24). "And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made."( 1 Kings 15:11-12).

Now let me tell you how it looks from a perspective of an outcast yes thats a good word why don't we keep it not just an outcast but the one deemed by the society as a monster a freak as a very dangerous criminal insane maybe but don't worry I won't kill you not yet anyway huh so why am I a criminal did I do something bad ? hmm maybe yea but you don't need to do bad things to be cast outed by the society sometimes standing up especially to the ones that hold aurothity and money a lot of it prestigue yes it can actually make you a criminal thats how the world works of course I raped and killed and generally deserved that title I deserved to be a criminal so thats who I am Im definetly not a heroe but sometimes evil can be beaten by something worser sometimes its the only way sometimes its how the world works. Adleast the one I live or witness after all Im a monster to boot but this too can have its advantages the ultimate freedom that it gives but also the responsibility Im an Immortal Judge that judges and decide and sometimes by decisions can have consequences for an entire galaxy or planet especially if I deside to destroy it. So I need to take responsibility for every action and life I take thats what makes me special but also kinda ordinary I look ordinary but Im not ordinary however I won't allow anybody to recognise me unless its all the part of a plan or my game. Because life is all a game and Illusion of perception we live in a world that is actually a game programed by a very high entity be the ancient being we know and reffer to as God the all mighty philosopher or more exactly the source of everything we know the source to which I have acces conviniently. I told you already that the world as we know is merelly an Illusion of perceprion but did you understand what I meant by it did you comprehence the full meaning of it we live in a world that is an interface in which we write our own stories we are the authors of each and everyone life is a stage on which we play for our audience no more exacly spectator God is our spectator a witness to our will and desires and to our stories. Im also a witness but I do not spectate I take part in some stories and sometimes rewrite it for my own convinience to make a mark Im here Thanks Marcello for you're some what supporting answer oh don't worry its just a draft version Im from Poland ,trying to see the reaction I will correct the grammar as to introversion thanks for noting that ,its very hard to do it thank you very much more

Resolved Question: what kind of "spell" did he used on her?? How can I have her back instantly?

My ex-girlfriend left me for some guy whom according to her is so much awesome than me. We're both bisexual and I'm a girl and we've been together for a year in a long distance relationship but I've visited her twice and was planning on visiting her again on June. We had our up and down moments but we had been improving a lot and she was so happy the last 2 weeks when she told me she was glad she got me back for real and promise to make everything better for us, she even told me she was obsessed with me again and she wouldn't be with anybody else but me. When I asked why she breaks up with me, one of her reason is because she needed someone beside her but she was ready to move in with me to Seattle. Another reason that actually really hurts and cannot be fixed is because of my size. I'm too small for her, she told me yesterday, but before that she has always been telling me she loved my size and my size was perfect. Even when she left me for him now, we still contact each other and I know she still loves me a lot but she couldn't get her mind off of him. About this guy, she only met him several times and she didn't even pay much attention to him. He was a Wiccan and he knew how to cast spells. My ex got sick and stayed home with me for 2 weeks. We were so happy together and I was staying up all night guarding her sleep because she told me there was some evil spirit that watched her at night and actually bit her neck though there was no bite-mark. Right after she get better and came back to school for the first time, she was still happy with me in the morning, but in the afternoon, this guy showed up and gave her a rose then took her shopping then to the park and danced with her and that only 1 time made her fall head over heel with him though she didn't even really know the guy. She broke up with me right that night to be with him. There are times when he's not around, she would call me and says sweet things like she still has a special place for me in her heart and I'm still special for her and she wants to be with me and we actually got closed and kissed again one time (cyber kiss) but then she stopped all of sudden because, "I still smell strongly of him, it's bothering me that I tried to do this with you." And other times, she would be so sweet with me until he calls and her head starts to get all wrap up around him that she ignores everything else, including me. I really don't trust this guy. He told her he broke up with his ex for 2 months now but still lives with her (who would believe that???). Since she started seeing these people who used drug at the place she met him for the first time(when she didn't have any feeling for him), she changed completely. She was no longer faithful, she used to hate smoking because she has asthma but now she smoke a lot, she used to disgust people who smoke weed but now she's on it. I really want to get her back, not only with me, but back to who she used to be. The sweet, faithful and promising and full of passion girl I feel in love with. Please help me! more

Resolved Question: my chapter 1 of my novel please be honest about your response please?

here is my first chapter of my novel.. tell me what i need to work on, but i will tell you. that by the end you will want some questions answered, but they will be answered towards the middle and the end so sorry about it. Chapter 1 Time is everything for this… thing can’t be discovered from the depth from within herself. Yes she is a girl, but not normal for she has something that even fears the Flyte, which is what they call themselves for coming together to handle the most important issue in the last three thousand years. Failure happened and now it’s time to regroup. The next move has to be it, or things could get very interesting. “Torsomi you have failed completely. Do you know how angry I am at you”. the boss man sad, his voice very deep, and grumpy. The young man walked forward a few steps and the women that stood beside him caught a glimpse of a smile appear on his face. His eyes were completely shut but even if they were open it wouldn’t help with knowing your way around the dark room. The only light that was shown was very little and it cast glimery shadows on the chair that the boss sat that was facing the other side. No one has ever seen his face, but he’s the most feared. The handsome young man bowed to show his respect to his master. His shirt was white and it stuck to his body as the creases formed when he bent down. His eyes opened, lifting up his head. The short style brown hair hung maybe to ear length, tilting his head before he spoke. “yes sir. I’m sorry about this, I know I was a little to careless. I didn’t know she made friends so quickly, or it could be that the boy wanted to be a hero” Torsomi stopped talking after he heard glass smash, then both eye brows came up. He took a solid breathe and then relaxed his face. “ I won’t fail you again sir. I promise” “oh I know you won’t fail me this time because if you do I’ll kill you”. “I understand sir.” torsomi greets him a nice smile like he didn’t take his words serious. “one more thing”. “next time… don’t keep me waiting. You know I hate that”. the boss said, and waved his arm for the mistress to step forward. “yes sir. I’m sorry about your drink. Would you like another”? the women said, her voice welcoming even though she’s completely shaking from the inside out. She must never let him know that she is nervous or he might kill her; his temper is that bad. Her long side bangs get into her eyes and she brushes then back, but it fails and she ignores it. “yes” he said in an evil tone like he’s planning something. “wait mistress” the boss said so demanding the women sprung back to face him like a reflex. She had a clip bored in her hand shaking for the pen to stay firm in between her fingers to get ready to write something down. “yes sir”. “tell me” he paused. The women waited to let him finish.” I want you to do me a favorite”. his voice trailed off in the mist of the darkness and secretly behind the chair he smiled, showing his bad teeth or who knows it could have just been the lights shadow, but it could make anyone scared for life looking at the evil within that grin. more

Resolved Question: If the 'great dragon' is said to deceive the whole WORLD, what does he use to deceive rational humans with?

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 8:7 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelation 12:9 Does this great dragon, "old serpent" use the natural reasonings, and philosophies, to seduce our intellect to question the God of truth, for the reason of error ? Since the "old serpent" was made more cunning than any creature....is that why He is such an effective deceiver and His darkness is nearly undetectable ? How was He able to deceive Eve into questioning God, that he could get her on the level of rationalizing so he could usurp the authority and dominion over the earth that God gave to Adam ? And I will put ENMITY between You (old serpent) and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. Genesis 3:15 Jesus exposed this 'darkness' masquerading as 'light' and said... "But if your eye be evil (Eye of Reason, full of Enmity)?, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!? Matthew 6:23 Concerning this very question.... did the Lord give the Apostle understanding to fight off this power of deception....for He said.... "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."

Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, which has said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.

Resolved Question: Are you prepared for death ?

Some quotes It is reported that , as he was taking in his final breaths, Harun Ar-Rashid selected a shroud and , staring at it recited: مَا أَغْنَى عَنِّي مَالِيهْ هَلَكَعَنِّي سُلْطَانِيهْ " My wealth has not availed me. My power and arguments (to defend myself) have gone from me!"(69:28,29) When Mu'adh bin Jabal was about to die, he said, " O, Allah , I have feared you my entire life , yet today I am hoping from you (i.e, hoping for your mercy). O Allah , you indeed know that I did not love the world for a long stay in it, for the flowing of rivers, or for the planting of trees; but rather for the thirst of the midday heat(i.e., for fasting on a hot day), for striving hours at a time (in worship), and for sitting near scholars in circles of remembrance (i.e., gatherings wherein you are remembered)." And when Umar was in the final moments of his life, Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said to him "congratulations to you for paradise, o leader of the belivers". "O Ibn umm al-mughirah," Umar said, " And what makes you know ? By the one who has my soul in his hand, if I possessed all that is in the east and in the west, I would have ransomed it all to be saved from the terror of the beginning (of Judgement Day)" When he was on his deathbed, Abu Bakr summoned for Umar to come to him. When the latter arrived, Abu Bakr said "indeed , i want to give you some final advice-if you will accept it from me: Indeed , Allah azza wa-jall has rights during the night, wich he does not accept during the day; and rights during the day, wich he does not accept during the night. And verily, He Azza wa-Jall does not accept voluntary acts of worship until obligatory ones are fist performed . Do you not see that those whose scales are heavy in the hereafter are heavy only because they followed the truth in the world, for doing so was heavy upon them(i.e, it required striving and effort, like an upward climb.) And it is befitting for a scale to be heavy when only truth is placed on it. Do you not see that those whose scales(i.e , scales of good deeds) are light in the hereafter are light only because they followed falsehood in the world; and doing so was light for them( i.e, easy, without strain, like descending a downward slope). And it is only befitting for a scale to be light when only falsehood is placed on it. Do you not see that Allah aza wa-jall revealed verses that inspire hope after verses that inspire terror, and verses that inspire terror after verses that inspire hope. This is so that a slave remains both hopeful (of reward) and fearful(of punishment), without taking his own life, and without hoping for anything other than the truth from Allah Azza wa-jall. If you remember and preserve (i., apply) this advice of mine, then let no matter of the unseen world be more beloved too you than death-wich, at any rate, is inevitable. And if you do not heed this advice of mine, then let no matter from the unseen world be more hateful to you than death." Ali, after being struck with the lethal blow, then charged Al-Hasan with the duty of washing his corpse, making it clear that Al-Hasan should not be extravagant in providing him with a shroud. Ali then said , "Indeed, I heard the messenger of Allah say: "Do not be extravagant with the shroud, for it will be quickly taken away from him(i.e, the earth tears it apart quickly)" Abu dawood 3154 And when you walk with me (i.e, carry me to the grave), walk neither fast nor slow, for if (my destination) is good , you will be hastening me towards it, but if (my destination) is evil, then at least you will have cast me from your shoulders (i.e, Freed yourselves from me)."

Resolved Question: The Prophet's companions ................ A Beautiful Quote?

1- THE KING OF SAINTS Abdul-Qadir Gilani said Last prophet,saw, warned ummah from fitna of shiane iblees which has been recoreded by sheikh abdul qadir jilani as follows: "A group will emerge soon who will abuse my Sahabah and endeavor to find faults in them. As such you should not keep their company, nor dine with them nor have marriage relationships with them from either side. You should not greet them either. The curse of Allah be upon them". (Al-Ghunya li-talibi tariq al-haqq wa al-din by Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, Page No. 179) 2- Imam Malik stated that the Rawafid are disbelievers because they hate the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them all. Malik said, "The Companions enrage them, and according to this Ayah"48:29", he who is enraged by the Companions is a disbeliever.'' Several scholars agreed with Malik's opinion, may Allah be pleased with them. 3- Abu Zur`ah ar-Raazee This great scholar was quoted as saying, "If you see someone degrade any of the companions of the Prophet, ((may Peace Be Upon Him)), know that he is a disbeliever. Because the Prophet, ((may Peace Be Upon Him)), was real, what he brought was the truth and all of it was conveyed to us by the way of the Sahaabah. What those disbelievers wish to do is to cast doubt on the reliability of our narrators in order to invalidate the Quraan and the Sunnah. Thus the disbelievers are the ones most deserving defamation." 4-Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: As for the one who goes further and claims that they apostatized after the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, apart from a small number, no more than ten or so, or that they became evildoers, there is no doubt that he is a kaafir, because he is rejecting what it says in the Qur’aan in more than one place, that Allaah was pleased with them and praised them. Indeed, the one who doubts that such a person is a kaafir is to be labelled as a kaafir himself, because what this view implies is that those who transmitted the Qur’aan and Sunnah were kuffaar or rebellious evildoers. The verse says “You (true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his Sunnah) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:110], and the best of them were the first generation. But according to this view, most of them were kaafirs and rebellious evildoers, and this ummah is the worst of nations and the earliest generations of this ummah were the most evil of them. The fact that this is kufr is something that no Muslim has any excuse for not knowing. End quote from al-Saarim al-Maslool ‘ala Shaatim al-Rasool (p. 590). more

Resolved Question: If 64 in base ten is 100 in base eight, should I call this a century?

The One, True God – Part VI Cosmos being born is magnificent glory from worlds gods adorn. The cosmos depends on gods’ ultimate story that time never ends. Time being parted into fragments and fractions never quite started. In the longest run, the origins of actions were never begun. Though it may seem strange, nothing starts or ends being, but all things must change. With enough good deeds, we will never stop seeing what the cosmos cedes. Gods in concert wake the cosmos from deep slumber for tomorrow’s sake. How gods may amount depends upon no number anyone can count. … United, gods form the cosmos that can provide shelter from the storm. Through any weather, we can find a place to hide with gods together. In the distant past, over common destiny, a shadow seemed cast. Tomorrow looked pale sometimes during history with the sirens’ wail. When heeding the call to arms and to go to war, we began to pall. We’ve made huge mistakes when not sure of who we are or what success takes. Worshipping was wrong when idols led us astray down paths far too long. We have often lied whenever we lost our way, and part of truth died. … Evil gods profaned the cosmos with delusion, and they were disdained. We were all once doomed without true gods’ infusion, and, by fate, consumed. For destiny’s sake in the scheme of larger things, gods give more than take. What can gods borrow if some absolute truth wrings all from tomorrow? Can we better serve our great-grandchildren today, in front of the curve? If we think ahead about how all have to pay, we’re much better led. How much do gods cost if we can’t learn from error, and prophets are lost? When we suffer pain inflicted by gods’ terror, we’ve nothing to gain. … The future looms dour if, to truths, our backs are turned, and destinies sour. Truth, some won’t foretell, so futures are badly burned in some kind of hell. The power behind self-fulfilling prophecy is an honest mind. Those who will condone dishonesty’s heresy will be all alone. Real, true gods despise, and seek to sternly correct anyone who lies. Those who will not learn about gods’ wisdom elect to let futures burn. Not heeding the call of the divine, we succumb to some final fall. Few ever applaud any disasters that come from mocking a god. … For the wind and rain, many who cannot believe use gods’ names in vain. But futile effort in making some weather leave brings little comfort. Ivory towers all seem inhabited by masquerades’ powers. Like blind leading blind “educators” vainly try deceptions of mind. Putting on mere show of our “facts” about nature, we’re convinced we “know”. Yet, as our facts change, and we become more mature, old knowledge gets strange. Some people have said, because they are deep and “wise”, that God is now dead. To grace and forgive, even if mortals despise, gods much more than live. … Though quite deeply flawed any world really evolved becomes a true god. A planet that grows as problems are really solved is where knowledge glows. Where Law is obeyed, and oblivion can’t prey, no one is afraid. Who follow the path of Law’s legitimate way need not fear gods’ wrath. As worlds fair and just journey forward throughout time, gods earn beings’ trust. With delicate stealth, evolution can sublime to create vast wealth. A world creating true knowledge and gifted lore transcends mere fating. When mortal being changes to become much more, fate is sent fleeing. … We sincerely think about all the things we do, to avoid the brink. When old problems vex, people can invent some new balances and checks. If our plans are sure to adapt to what may come, mankind will endure. Combining nations in a god’s single kingdom, furthers creations. Sometimes it may seem, after all is done and said, we live in a dream. Garden paths of yore have quite often only led to hell’s open door. In prisons and jails, over what we thought was might, irony prevails. Sometimes, in our haste, we can’t tell what’s wrong from right, and we create waste. … At last, when we cease to exploit one another, we will have true peace. When there is enough for each sister and brother, things won’t be so tough. If not behaving like sophisticated rust, we won’t be slaving. As all nations blend into one, true god all trust, misery will end. Some think might makes right, but sometimes strong may make wrong, and people take flight. True gods lead the way, while followers tag along, but some go astray. We’ll abandon hate if we are properly led to a true god’s gate. Misfortune is torn until there’s left not a shred when cosmos is born.I need 3, HH, and so do you. more

Resolved Question: Christians: What does it mean if a good Spirit LITERALLY passes through you?

No "off" answers here please, looking for a real answer to this, it is important to me. Fellow Christians. When my Grandfather died, I wrote his main eulogy for him. As I stood in the church speaking it, (my Grandfather and I had a close connection, not sure how really I didn't see him all of the time but we just did) I could feel like something or someone was right behind me on my right side, just about 1 or 2 feet away, behind my right shoulder. I got the feeling they were tall, taller than me (I am 5'9", my Grandfather was 6'3). I don't know what it was, I can guess, but I still am not sure. I think it may have been my Grandfather, possibly with an angel? Anyway, that happened about 2 or 3 days after his death we had the eulogy for him. A couple of days later my family and I went home. So now it has been about 5 days, give or take a day or two. I was sitting at the table with my dad. The table is rectangular and my dad (it was his father who had died) was sitting at the end of the table reading is newspaper and I was sitting in a kitchen chair on the side of the table (just like if you were about to eat, I wasn't eating though). I didn't have anything in front of me that I can remember, I think I was just sitting at the table when it happened. As I was sitting there, there was absolutely NOTHING out of the ordinary going on at all. My dad was just sitting there with his newspaper in hand, as he does and I was just sitting there, maybe reading something, I can't remember that part. As I was sitting there something LITERALLY went THROUGH my body just as fast as lightening hits the ground from the sky, and it was so strong that it Slammed my front half of my body down onto the table (it didn't hurt at all and I wasn't scared). It literally felt like something spiritual made itself strong enough to do that. It wasn't like a touch or anything. Whatever it was it Literally went THROUGH me. I felt it go into me from my back side and out of my front and the force of it through me forwards SO FAST, I could never repeat what happened to me again in this lifetime. The side of my face and forearms hit the table as it happened, I was shocked!!! To say the LEAST. I don't get that it was anything bad at all, when it happened it did not hurt and I did not get hurt (which I should have easily had been if you were thrown against something so fast!). I was not scared when it happened and I wasn't scared about it afterwards either. I don't get "eerry" feelings about it at all. I just can't say what had happened or why it happened. I'm still working on that, and this was some time ago, I would really love to hear some answer from you. But what could that have been? ---------- Another reason I know it wasn't an evil spirit is because when you read John, Chapter 5. Yeshua (Jesus) tells us Clearly that none of us go straight to Heaven or Hell. It says in John, Chapter 5 that on the Judgment Day that all will rise out of their tombs, then those who were true to the resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus Christ) will go to Heaven and those who were against it, will go to Hell. Yeshua (Jesus) clearly says that, so can’t really believe it when someone tells me that it was an "evil spirit", when it very well could have been my Grandfather or something or someone sent on his behalf to tell me something. Book of Revelation. The first ones to be cast into Hell will be Satan and his False Prophet. So, because of that statement, I do believe that the good and evil are hanging around. I’m thinking that the LORD can also grant people who have died some time to hang around to “finish” some things up, if they so wanted to, before being sent back to the grave, as eerry as that may sound. But we all go, one way or another and that is why we have to make a decision while we have time here, we never know when we are going to go. Does anyone have a decent educated hypothesis of what could have happened on that day, when it went through my body? Do you think it was my Grandfather speaking to me, something else? What reasoning would there have been behind that happening, do you think? more

Voting Question: So here it is, logically laid out; what Christians must believe based on the tenets of their faith. Surprise?

So I just wanted to finally lay out the logistics of some of the most basic arguments between Atheists/Agnostics and Christians. As I see it, this is the plain and simple logic that any intellectual Christian must have reached to justify their faith. However, most will claim my logic is flawed and that they believe in God because he loves them, and that they undeniably have free will; regardless of any and all logic which points to the contrary. But here it is, all laid out. Hopefully someone can provide some intelligible logic favoring Christianity, otherwise I will stand by my logical analysis uncontested. It is a bit lengthy, and I apologize. However, this topic requires attention to detail and explanation. Here it is: If you believe in a benevolent, omniscient, and omnipotent god that made you to be unique then you must believe in predestination right? As in you have no free will? Because if God specifically made you to be the individual that you are, and he knows everything and is all powerful; then clearly he knew the exact repercussions of creating you the way he did. Every decision you would ever make as a result of your unique formation. If you want to argue that perhaps you specifically weren't hand molded by God; you're simply the result of his overwhelming creation, you can take this argument back to the "creation" of Adam and Eve, where the Bible explicitly describes the painstaking detail involved in the creation of Adam, who according to Christian beliefs, is the predecessor of the human race. So, in creating him the way that God did, God had to have known how each and every aspect of Adam's creation would effect every life and every decision made by every descendant of Adam. Therefore, it is logically implied that Christians believe, or should believe, that they truly don't have free will, just the appearance of it. Since God clearly has already set humanity on a predestined course, starting with the casting of the first man. Arguably, one could say that this course may be altered by divine intervention, but surely God who knows everything, would already be aware of any necessary intervention along the time line and therefore already be fully aware of the results of his divine intervention, resulting no possible change of the predestined time line. So as i see it, you can either claim that God is not omniscient and omnipotent and that one has free will. Or one can stand by the omnipotence and omniscience of God and accept that everything is, and has always been, predestined. Unless anyone sees any flaws in my logic? Not even mentioning the contradictions presented by benevolence, omniscience, AND omnipotence all being characteristics present in a God governing over our contemptible society. As such, due to the predestined quality of life set out for humanity by the teachings Christianity, God is responsible for creating evil. He knew he would be putting evil into the world and that no one would have any choice in the matter what-so-ever. Evil is the direct creation of God, and not the result of any ill-percieved free will on our part. If you still choose to deny the logical ramifications of the teachings of the Bible (the reality of predestination) and believe that God did not create evil, then you must believe that he is not omnipotent and omniscient. He either is ignorant of its existence, or is powerless to do anything about it. Or possibly both. And if there is STILL an urge to neglect the aforementioned logical break down of predestination and God's undeniable creation of evil, then Christians can turn to their own religious text: The Holy Bible. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. (Isaiah 45:7, KJV) The King James version uses the literal translation of the Hebrew word "Râ‛âh" - which LITERALLY means evil. Almost all other versions of the Bible have softened the blow of this translation by loosely translating this word to mean "disaster" or "calamity". So there it is, let me know what you think. I'm open to any opinions based on a logical; or at least intelligible, foundation.-Don't misunderstand me, I am not arguing for Christianity. I agree that the current ideals of the Christian God as held by the masses is self-contradictory and cannot exist (for far too many reasons); at least not the way it has been portrayed. I am merely stating the two most basic concepts that Christians MUST believe, due to the logical ramifications of their "established" beliefs. I am in no way saying that I agree with those established beliefs. Merely pointing out a logical fallacy many Christians refuse to acknowledge.- I am also fully aware that the idea of predestination is contradicted by scripture. However the basic belief in an omniscient and omnipotent god requires predestination. Which challenges the validity of the bible. Since this forum does not have a response option this is how I will be responding to your feedback. Thanks! more
