I have some background in Spanish, but have not been disciplined enough to stick with the audio-lessons. Can anyone suggest a San Diego-immersion class /group that does not cost loads of $$$?

Leviticus 11:9-12 says:
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
It's in the same chapter as that little line about laying with another man in lust but it doesn't suggest anywhere that either is a greater abomination or sin.So while you dip your shrimp in that yummy garlic sauce you are doing about that same thing as having lustful gay sex.Why not just take that extra step?It's a choice afterall...

Ok, so I know this might seem corny or whatever coming on here with my personal issue, but I need an honest totally unbiased opinion, so this is really one of my only choices...So here it is. Lately my friends have been acting kinda shady *since my girl and I got back together* they dont call me so much, or wanna hang out like we did so I dunno what that's all about. Now as for my relationship. My girl has been acting kinda weird too. There is this one chick that she talks to that is "just a friend" but I think there is more to it (even though this other chick has a wife...she says she's still allowed to date as she pleases) So we were at pride and ran into this girl...it was the most uncomfortable feeling ever! Now I feel I have to worry about her so needless to say I broke it off with my girl. I feel like an asshole for doing it but we've been at eachothers throats lately. I love her to death, and I almost regret doing it, but I can't continue like this right?

I am so thankful that Jesus went all that length to save my soul, and I gladly accept His gift of eternal life.
Why people want to refuse it? What is so important to them that they want to decline this gift? Where they go rather than to be with God???
I do not get it...Everybody answer this..you and you and you....

Ok. I'm an 11 year old girl, and I'm at the crying point of being confused. Not even a month ago was I completely obssesedwith girls. I actually though I was beginning to be a lesbian. Which I would be ok with. But all I was thinking about was sexual urges towards girls. But now, I want the close-ness to be with a guy. And I want my relationship to be with a guy, but I still have little sexual urges to girls. I really want a boyfriend, but I want the urges to girls but also to guys. And it did occur to me I was bi, but I dunno. Is it a phase? Please don't critisize.

They get on here and ask these stupid questions so they can have some meaning in their already meaningless life. I try not to let them get to me, because I know they just want to piss me off. But if I saw one of those suckers on the street, I don't know if I'd be able to hold back, lol. I know that white people aren't the only people who are filled with racism and hate in their hearts, but we're the majority. White people really embarass me when they do that racist crap.

Paul(Saul) hated Christians so much he faked the whole Damascus road thing claimed to be an apostle and wrote his epistles contradictory to the old testament laws to lead people, unknowingly, away from God?

Bikers? (gangs led me to believe that anyone who drove a motorcycle was in a gang) Peeps who drove in vans (movies made me think that those were the peeps who kidnapped peeps) I saw a commercial bout someone not having their full arm or only one arm or something like that & I totally thought it was HILARIOUS. :$ :( (N) BOO to me to back when I was 5 !!! My Mom & Dad used to tell me, "That's not funny." I also used to be racist towards Black peeps but now I like Black guys ;) I'd really like to be in a multi-cultural rel. Back when M.J. was Black he was really popular. I got an M.J. doll for Christmas. My Dad asked me a Q & said, "Is it cuz he's Black?" I lied & said, "No." I didn't wanna admit the truth. Hmmm can't really seem to think of anything else.
So, to A my own Q, I'm more open to being friends w/ other races, I don't think that all bikers are in gangs lol & I DON'T think that it's funny to have 1 arm or whatever. That's just sad. I'm embarassed that I was like this @ age 5:$

In my condo, there is no 4th, 14th, or 24th floor because some Chinese people would refuse to move in, since the #4 sounds like the word "death" in Chinese. Would YOU live on floor #4 of a building?

My boyfriend Thomas, has been hanging with Nonchristians...and they have been influencing him in a bad way. Those friends, dont have CHrist. They sleep around, Curse, have anger problems, and treat woman bad. He tells me that his friends are true friends, and do everything for him. Ever since, those friends have been backstabbing, talking behind his back, calling him names, and etc. I never told him cause I cared for him, but Now im getting upset, cause their doing it more.

I often told him, to find out for himself...that theyll be bad friends. but he never listened.

Should I tell him? I dunno waht to do. If i tell he'll just yell at me, and ill get blamed...but i want him to realize who his true friends are.
