I have been looking at the tribes in Revelation. Some say these tribes are not to be taken literal..but i have been doing some research so tell me what you guys think...

- The word "tribes" in scripture is never used as anything but a literal ethnic group.

- Now, i realize the tribe of Dan and Ephraim are missing, but it is important to know that the OT has no fewer than 12 variant lists of tribes, and these lists include anywhere from 10-13 tribes, though the number 12 is predominant (Gen 49; deut 33, Ezek. 48) Thus, no list of the 12 tribes must be identical...

- Dan's tribe was probably omitted b/c they were guilty of idolatry on many occasions and as a result were largely obliterated (Lev 24:11, Judges18:1,30; 1kings 12:28,29)

- Ephraims tribe was also eliminated becuase of idolatry and paganized worship (Judges 17, Hosea 4:17)

What is the best way to visit the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas?

I'll be in Vegas for five days next month and hoped to visit the Grand Canyon while I'm in the general vicinity. I'd prefer to rent a car instead of taking a guided tour (for the sake of time and money). So, I wondered what the best route and place along the Canyon would be to get us there and back to Vegas before sundown.

Incredibly slow dvd burn speeds with Nero?

So I've with through an insane amount of work troubling with this problem..I've make some steps in the right direction but haven't come up with a total fix. I'm burning dvd's using Nero 7 Ultra, purchased in hopes of fixing my continual "burn failed" mesage.

1st - I figured it was my software so I upgraded Nero to the newest, 'most expensive' version (NO HELP)
2nd - I figured I had viruses or software malfunctioning of some sort so i did a "PC Restore", which is basically reformatting the whole thing. (Actually slowed down the computer a bit, but NO HELP)
3rd - I called Dell and told them my DVD Burner was jacked up...and 5 hours later..they agreed and sent a fella to put in a new one!

The last solution helped..I'm 1/2 when burning, but it's ridiculously slow...an hour per DVD..that is, if it doesn't die out at 4%. That would be fine, BUT it used to burn in 20 minutes tops, with ZERO burns failed. What's up?! Any advice other than what I've already done would be appriciated!!

Why do some Christians get involved with the occult by . . . .?

Why do some Christians get involved with the occult by consulting psychics who claim to be "Christian"?

I've heard that such psychics as: John Edward, Char Margolis, and Sylvian Browne claim to be Christian, some even claiming that their gift comes from the Holy Spirit working through them.

Don't all Christians realize that even the demons aren't above using God's name, or even Scripture, to trap the unweary--even believers? In fact, in Acts 16: 16-18, we find the Apostle Paul exorcising a demon from a girl who was following him around proclaiming him to be a messenger of God. The demons were making her say these things, even if what she was saying was true.

Why, then, are some so clueless, and why do some use such spiritistic avenues, that are so expressedly forbidden in God's word??? Furthermore, why do some subscribe to "New Ageism" and other belief systems that are rooted in the occult and are completely incompatible with the Gospel according to Scripture?

I think that my job fired me for some stupid made up reason?

I worked as a courtesy clerk at Ralphs and my school only permitted me to work 16 hrs a week since I have to do a lot of school work every day of the week (I have to finish a year's worth amount of work in just three weeks, so I'm always busy with school work). Anywho, I come to work today and they tell me that they are letting me go because I was "slow" at what I was doing. Which is complete BS because my cart bins were always empty in the parking lots, and I was medium-fast when bagging (I always get tips from customers when I'm bagging). Anywho, one day when I was doing carts, all the carts were empty and I was standing in the shade because it was 90 degrees outside, 10 minutes later the manager gives me a lecture about "sitting at Starbucks" and I was like, "WTF, I wasn't at Starbucks". And that was another one of their BS reasons. I'm not sad, I'm just pissed off that they can't tell me the truth as to why I was let go...
