Luke 16
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23In hell,[c] where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'

25"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

27"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

29"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'

30" 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'

31"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "

How can people be so blind? This makes me sad because I have a family member that has fallen away into atheism. I don't know what to do.

Only by accepting Jesus can your sins be washed away. I heard the analogy before that non-Christians are like people drowning at sea. If someone throws them a floatation device and they REFUSE to take it and drown, they have no one to blame but themselves. Likewise, God does not send non-Christians to Hell, they send themselves.

I don't want my brother to go to Hell for not accepting Jesus. At times this may seem unfair to me as to why God would do this. I realize though that we are ALL sinners and we ALL deserve Hell, yet God loved the world so much that if we accept the sacrifice of Jesus, our sins might be washed clean.

It is not a hard thing to do, yet I sometimes wonder about how fair this all seems. I know it is the truth because I have faith.

I just feel uneasy about it sometimes.

What can I do to get over this feeling?

The question is simple. Try to answer the question instead of going off on some tangent. Don't rant. Answer the question. The question is:

"If Hitler was a real Christian, is Osama a real Muslim?"

Acceptable answers will contain either the words YES or NO, and most likely be followed by an explaination why they either believe YES, or NO.

Here's the question one more time for those of you who are still confused:

"If Hitler was a real Christian, is Osama a real Muslim?"

Don't forget to include a YES or a NO in you answer.

Last night,I heard a kitten meowing, and at first I thought I was hearing things,but then my German shepherd,who loves cats,ran to the back door and started whining.I opened the door and there were two tiny kittens,about 4 weeks old,climbing out of a box that had been left on my back porch.I was SO mad,because this brings the total to 4 kittens that I have saved in 3 months,and I already have 13 cats.I can't find homes for these kittens,either.I've tried finding homes for the other two,and no one wants kittens.There are TOO MANY.If whoever owned the mother of these two had gotten her fixed,then I wouldn't have them to take care of.Now,my other cats are upset because there are strange kittens in the house,I had to buy yet MORE kitten food and milk replacer,and I'll in all likelyhood have to pay to get them fixed and vaccinated.I am by no means rich;I have finacial problems out the wahoo,but I would not leave these kittens outside to die.This is why everyone should fix their pets. Agree?

I have cystic breasts...and since this is breast cancer awareness month and I'm gettting older...I should really do one. My breasts have a whole bunch of hard lump like things called cysts. How do I distingush between them and something else? After I have a bunch of cysts and most of them are quite big. And they feel like what most would consider cancer/tumor. My doctor told me I have cystic breast a while back...so they aren't a whole bunch of tumors...but how do I distingush between the two? Or is the doctor the only one who can do that/ is she the only one who can proplerly do a breast exam on me or what? I forgot to ask her...anyone else know?

My problem is there are girls didn't like me because of my beautiful face. The other guys are very good to me. I'm glad and thankful a lot of them. I had asked them that why they are always doing anything good to me? They answered, I'm very sweet and cute girl. I think they are right? But I didn't understand there are girls very envy of me..? I had no do anything wrong to them. They said I'm beautiful girl and like to captivate with other guys but I never do it! But they didn't believe what I said is right. And they also said I'm a bad girl. I'm very sad and that make me feel very pain. I'm crying. I hate of myself. I have only a beautiful girl who is my best friend. She is a christian. We are always together us happy and enjoy. She had helped me a lot. I'm sure she is a wonderful girl. But this year, she is not here. She was going and stay in Phillippian to worship God. I miss her so much. She is a kind and humble girl. Since that day, I need to be with other girls. I'm a girl. Why?

I was watching Whoopi Goldberg's Special, "The word according to Whoopi and I posed this question in my AP Lit class since we were discussing language usage in literature. Apparently, Yahoo thinks that the N word is worst, because when I wrote it in it's true form they replaced it with astricts. Note also that the,"N" word in the dictionary means an ignorant person.
