John 12:31:
Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.

John 14:30:
I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me,

John 16:11:
and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

Most scholars agree that 'prince of the world' means Satan. Hey, wait. It sounds like a Gnostic idea. According to Gnostics the material world was created by imperfect (and possibly malicious) god, not the true God. I think those bible passages reflect the dualistic idea of Gnosticism and Harold Bloom, a great litaray critic, pointed that out in his book Jesus and Yahweh; The Names Divine. Anybody noticed this beside me in here?

So many people don't know how to tell if they really working for the Lord Jesus Christ or are the the anti christ.

Do you test and try the spirits?

1John 4: 1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

1 John 4:2
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.

1 John 4:3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of anti christ, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is in the world.

If you don't hear them say that God has come in the Flesh as Jesus Christ the Son, be carefull...........

No race, color or gender are chosen by GOD Almighty in Islam. Everyone is evaluated by his Deeds. Islam is strictly against racism.

"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other. Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted. (The Noble Quran, 49:13)"


There is only one thing which makes a person superior to other i.e. piety, because race is not in the control of a person. In Islam, nobody has the right to claim himself superior on the basis of kinship because everybody’s ancestry meets with Adam pbuh.

Quran 17:70. We have honored the sons of Adam; provided them with transport on land and sea; given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred on them special favours, above a great part of our creation.

what im wondering is that if she had no understanding that what she was doing was wrong then why was she and the rest of us punished for an act that she didn't understand was wrong, and why didn't god protect the tree of the knowledge of good and evil like he did the tree of life only after they had eaten the apple? sounds like a setup to me. also, if things weren't exactly the way god wanted them then would they be this way?, since he is the creator of all things including good, evil and the devil and knows the end from the beginning?

when i fall in love, no matter how hard i try, in the end i really can't prevent myself from wanting to kiss the person that i fell in love with. i'm just a normal guy, and it's kinda in my nature, sorry.

and well (blush) then i kiss her. i admitt it, i kiss her!
(and other thingy's, but hey, there are also kids on this website)
but.no matter how hard i would try to stop myself...my lips move towards her lips..and well...yes...(blush)..then i kiss her..

NOW, ehm..the last hour i've seen about a 1000 christian reactions on a lot of questions, saying "if homosexuality would not be a choice, it at least is a choice if they act on it..and they can also choose NOT to act on their feelings"

QUESTION: How on earth can two people who are in love NOT act on those feelings? have christians never heard of Romance?

If you can please translate this from French to English:

Dans des terrains cendreux, calcins, sans verdure, comme je me plaignais un jour a la nature, et que de ma pensee, en vaguant au hasard, j'aiguisais lentement sur mon coeur le poignard, je vis en plein midi descendre sur ma tete un nuage funebre et gros d'une tempete, qui portrait un troupeau de demons vicieux, semblables a des nains cruels et curieux...

My husband is a diesel mechanic the largest mass merchandiser chain in the U.S. (won't say who just incase we can get in legal trouble asking this). Once a week he tells me somebody has come to demonstrate something on the jobsite that they are selling and the managers help push the product or the charity and insist that they are good employees by donating and supporting other companies. He may have a great job but we have bills just like everybody else. I feel they shouldn't be doing this at work. There should be a special meeting for those who want to attend demonstrations or give to charities through work.

me and a friend are what we call open-minded skeptics. Sure, supernatural things may happen, but can I see it? We mess around with the friggin Ouija boards every once in a while. we have stories, but we didn't think they were true because we don't believe the company were with. Maybe six months or less ago we finally got something when it was just the two of us in a room in a actually creepy house. Before this, we never got it to work, at least believably when it was just us too. but than we spoke with someone who was supposedly talking to us one of the first times we did it. we just didn't believe that first time. this wasn't our minds though, because we usually keep our fingures 3 inches from the plachette. in other words, we both saw it move by itself. since than we haven't been able to get it to work. because of our skeptic nature, we usually do it that way, but i was told you need your hands on it too work, that one time, we definetly didn't. were we doing it right?

can someone please translate this into spanish please
(it's for my project & it's supposed to sound very basic) :
-----
When I was little, my friends and I used to play outside all day long. We were not worried about school very much. My favorite teacher in elementary school was Ms. Citi. She was a very good teacher and I had fun in her class. My favorite part of the school day back then was recess because I got to talk to my friends. Besides school, my friends and I enjoyed going to the park. We went to the park every day after school. We liked it very much because we always had a lot of fun. Besides spending time with my friends, I also liked spending time with my family and watching TV. I used to watch a lot of cartoons when I was little. One of my favorite cartoons was Tom & Jerry. When I was little I also used to love going to theme parks like Disneyland. In my free time, I liked to draw and paint. Most of the time, I made things for fun, or to give them to my mom.

THANKS

If I'm not making sense then look at these quotes, they should help.

Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory.--Leonardo da Vinci

Every individual is at once the beneficiary and the victim of the linguistic tradition into which he has been born - the beneficiary inasmuch as language gives access to the accumulated records of other people's experience, the victim in so far as it confirms him in the belief that reduced awareness is the only awareness and as it bedevils his sense of reality, so that he is all too apt to take his concepts for data, his words for actual things.--Leonard Huxley
