According to Nicholi Tesla, I heard that if high voltage AC frequency is high enough, it will not electrocute you (even if the voltage is high). How high does this frequency have to be minimum in order for it to not electrocute you (considering your grounded and touch the live wire for a brief moment.)?

All the anti-war, anti-bush rhetoric floating across this site..If libs are all about "popular opinion", why dont they bow to the will of the people actually fighting in Iraq and let them accomplish the mission? It doesnt matter what *you* think, you're risking nothing.

They always complain about men being "visual". Well, it's natural for us to become attracted to a woman based on looks. Otherwise, we wouldn't be motivated to have sex and procreate.

My husband and I are constantly fighting over money. He has the chance to go work tomorrow and make some good money, but doesn't want to. He makes almost as much as I do, but we are still broke. What do I do? I have been having some bad thoughts because of it. We have been married almost 6 years and keep fighting over the same thing for 5 of those 6 years. I love him with all my heart, but I can't take the fighting anymore. HELP please!

We were in my physics class the other day, and one of my friends asked a question about the behaivor of light. He knew what it did, he just wanted to know why the light reacted in a certain way. Before our teacher could answer, another guy in our class, who is really religious, said "Because God made it that way." Everyone kind of ignored him a little bit, and our teacher went on to explain that we still didn't really understand what things like that really were. But the guy said that several more times when we asked a "why" question; "Because God made it that way."
So my question is, isn't this just an excuse to not look deeper into something? Whenever a "why" question is asked, the answer from religious people seems to be"Because God made it that way", and that is as far as they will go. Has anyone else seen this? Or if you are one of those people, do you use that when you don't know the answer?

Not only that, but also two viruses where detected and removed, but one of these is accessable through a link in a spam email, which i know for a fact i don't click on spam emails. Also another two programs downloaded themselves which weren't quite as large but still i had no idea about it until one started to run and the other tried to install. That 335mb program is called Outerinfo and I have no idea where it came from. I ran spyware scans this morning nothing but tracking cookies, also a schedualed virus scan, no viruses detected. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have no idea where these came from, or even what they do. I am in the processing of getting rid of them all though. Thanks.

I believe Speech
I believe Speech
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1st Corinthians 13:13
I believe in loving God unconditionally and I will try my hardest to be like him. I don’t just want to say I am a Christian and not live it out. To me in order for me to be a Christian, I need to work hard and follow what Jesus did or at least try too. I will share my faith and will never turn against him. I believe in God and to love him unconditionally, I will strive to want to know more about him. Ron Luce once said we have a choice on being a “seeker” someone who goes to church but doesn’t try hard to make their faith stronger. A “student” someone who reads the bible and wants to learn about God or we can be a “stalker” someone who just wants to know everything about God. I believe I am a stalker; I would like to know all I can about God.

The Question is ……… What MOTIVE did Jewish Scholars have to change the story of Ishmael ?

The Romans and Greeks could never conquer or Hellenize the children of Ishmael. That is why the Arabs knew the name of Allah generations after Abraham taught Ishmael and then Ishmael taught his descendants.

Gods plan was to save the lineage of Ishmael from all the disasters that were to befall Jerusalem and then the Final Prophet from the rod of Jesse (Ishmael) would come from the land of Ke’dar (Arabia).

God commanded Abraham to leave his family in the desert of Paran (Arabia) and we know from history that the miraculous well given to Hagar and Ishmael is beside the Black stone building built by Abraham in the Holy city of Mecca.

God sent Hagar and the first born of Abraham into the wilderness when Ishmael was a baby….. and not when he was a 17 year old like what the scholars wrote in the bible.

A mother does not carry a 17 year old on her shoulder and then place the crying child of 17 yrs. under a bush and walk away while he dies of thirst.

It is abundantly clear from the story in Gen. 21:14-19 that Ishmael was a little baby at that time. Following is the documentation of this statement:

According to Gen. 16:16 Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born. And according to Gen.21:5 Abraham was one hundred years old when Isaac was born. It follows that Ishmael was already fourteen years old when his younger brother Isaac was born.

According to Gen. 21:14-19, the jealousy incident took place after Issac was weaned. Biblical scholars tell us that “the child was weaned about the age of three”.

It follows that when Hagar and Ishmael were taken away Ishmael was a full grown teenager seventeen year old.

The profile of Ishmael in Gen. 21:14-19, however , is that of a small baby and not of a teenager.
Why ?

First : According to the Interpreters Bible , the original Hebrew for Gen.21:14 was “…and put the child upon her shoulder”. The same reading is rendered in the Revised Standard Edition of the Bible.

How would a mother carry a Seventeen year old teenager “upon her shoulder? Certainly he was strong enough to carry his mother !
Ishmael must have been a baby .

Second : In Gen. 21:15 we are told that Hagar “cast” the child under one of the shrubs. Again, according to this Biblical text Ishmael must have been a baby and not a seventeen year old man.

Third: In Gen. 21:16 we are told that Hagar sat away so that she may not see the death of the child before her eyes. Is that a profile of a husky seventeen year old teenager who was probably capable of being worried about his mother dying before his eyes? Or is it obviously a profile of a small helpless baby or at most a small child?

Fourth : According to Gen. 21:17, the angels told Hagar “arise, lift up the lad”. Is a seventeen year old young man a proper object to be “lifted up” by a woman? Or is that a reference to a small child or baby?

Fifth: In Gen. 21:19, we are told that Hagar went to fill the bottle with water “and give the lad a drink”. One would expect a strong young man of seventeen to go and bring water to his mother instead.

The non Jewish version of the story is fully consistent and coherent from A to Z; Ishmael was a baby and Isaac was not born yet when this incident took place. This coherence and consistency are confirmed by centuries-old traditions and even actual locations in Mecca where Hagar and Ishmael settled. This clearly implies that the real reason behind their settlement in Arabia (Paran) was not the dictation, jealousy, ego or sense of racial superiority on the part of Sarah. It was rather God’s plan; pure and simple. The lineage of Ishmael was to be protected from the disasters that were to befall Jerusalem and the surrounding area.

It may be relevant to indicate that this issue is not the only instance of inconsistency in respect to Ishmael’s story. The Interpreters Bible compares the story of Hagar and Ishmael in Gen. 21:14-19 with that in an earlier chapter (Gen. 16:1-16) and concludes “the inclusion in Genesis of both stories so nearly alike and yet sufficiently different to be inconsistent, is one of many instances of the reluctance of the compilers to sacrifice any of the traditions which has become established in Israel.” (Interpreters Bible, ibid, p. 604)


Obviously early scholars fabricated the story of a spat between Isaac and Ishmael so they could disown the first born and have a God only for themselves to the exclusion of all others.
