The "love chapter" as 1 Corinthians 13 has been coined--includes a verse that some believe is about voluntary poverty.

1 Corinthians 13:3, "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing."

Do you see this verse as indicating Christians should have "voluntary poverty"?

Or is poverty a curse--when we do not have enough to supply our own needs and give to the poor, is this a curse?

What are your BIBLICAL beliefs about poverty--are we to embrace the 'name it and claim it'/'blab it and grab it' doctrine of prosperity or are we supposed to walk in some kind of voluntary poverty?

Were is the balance?
What bible verses do you base your beliefs on?

I took my daughter to this place that said they had casting directors from hanna montana and suite life of zach and cody.
When we got there they put us in a room and she talked to the guy that said he was the vice president and he talked to her and told her she was beautiful and she had all these great qualities.
But now they say she has to take these classes that are going to be so much a month.
I dont want to break her heart but I think it is a scam.
The name of the company was John Robert Powers and Assoc.. Does anyone have any info on this?
If so is there any place that she could try out for movies that is free?

My bf and I have been together almost 3 yrs. He keeps telling me that he's going to propose to me soon...He knows having a family and being married are #1 for me at this point. I have my career in order and we've dicussed marriage in the past....last night he told me that he basically agreed to propose soon to keep me from nagging about it....I simply ask...not nag about it. He said it won't be for another 2 years until we get married...I'm 23 and he's 36...I don't have an issue with his age...Only concerned about our ability to have kids....and besides...I want to start my family soon...How do I get him to realize that if he doesn't do something to commit further and make the next step in the relationship...that I'm going to leave him??? I don't want to...but I also don't want to miss out on a chance to be with someone who has the same goals in mind. I don't want to give him an ultimatum...someone told me to distance myself...but how?? and isn't that kind of mean???? HELP ME!!!!

I'm not trying to insult the Air Force; I respect all military branches.

The Navy, Marines and Army have their own Air Force. Many of the jobs in the Air Force can be done with the Navy.

What's the real point of an Air Force besides carrying the president around?

There's talk in league circles that former Chargers, Redskins, Chiefs, and Browns head coach Marty Schottenheimer wants to return to the NFL. But not as a head coach. The scuttlebutt is that Marty wants to come back as a General Manager.

What do you think? Think that Dean Spanos is smart enough to FIRE AJ SMITH and hire Marty Schottenheimer as General Manager? I would be 100% all for it (as long as they got rid of Norv Turner when they took out the rest of the trash).

I'm 5'1 in height. I weigh about 52kgs. I don't have big boobs...10A and wear size 6-8 tops. However, I do think my hips and thighs are a bit bigger and my pants are usually 8-10. I have always worn a one-piece swimsuit but I feel like wearing a bikini. Unfortunately, I'm worried I'll look too fat in one. Is it possible for someone my size to wear a bikini?

It seems a lot of people dont like them...and a lot of men seem to prefer all natural. I know that I can (and I have) dated plenty of men that like me just the way I am...but I'm so small its an inconveniance. So the "all natural" preference can only go so far, right?

Say that, from my frame of reference, persons A and B are moving perpendicular to the line between them, at the same velocity. Now suppose A shines a light in the direction of B. Since I see A and B moving with the same velocity, they must see each other standing still. Hence, according to A and B, B will see A's light. However, according to me, B is moving, so that by the time the beam reaches where B was when A shone the light, B will have moved and not been able to see it.

How does one resolve this paradox?

I am in the graphic arts field and had several part-time jobs in retail while I was in school full time. Retail or sales are obviously not my chosen career path and I feel these will not really fit in well. At the same time, I do not want an employer to see this as "lying on a resume." Should part-time work still be included?

First of all, if you've come here to flame, I would appreciate it if you would take your "insight" elsewhere. Every day I see Christians posting hundreds of questions, and I need not the discrimination of your ignorance.

Okay... so I have been following Satanism for going on 4 years now...

I fear I may be losing a rather large portion of my Faith in Satanism. I have followed the IX Commandments to the best of my abilities and constantly see myself becoming a better person because of it. But as I begin to, for lack of a better term, "grow up" and realize the world around me, things just seem helpless at times, and I am left almost hopeless in my pursuits. Please, indulge me in some sort of advice to renew and rebirth my beliefs.

...Okay, now time for the first part of my question to be ignored. Let the reporting begin! ;-)
