Please relate to this usage:
Agape received a broader usage under later Christian writers as the word that specifically denoted "Christian" love or "charity" (1 Corinthians 13:1–8). The New Testament provides a number of definitions and examples of agape, which generally expand on the meanings used in ancient texts, denoting brotherly love, love of one's spouse or children, and the love of God for all mankind.

Corinthians 13
The Excellence of Love
1If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

3And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does does not brag and is not arrogant,

I want to throw my 1st 4th of July BBQ at my home. Is there a normal day to do this over the long weekend (Sat., Sun., Mon., Tues.)? Or should it be just on the 4th? There won't be any fireworks, just bbq & drinks (alcohol & non).

Here's the question...

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnCX.6.kDwZM8whfm3pXMebsy6IX?qid=20060628113254AANNUwY

I got people saying that being hungry is a sin (wouldn't that imply that Jesus was never hungry?)...

I got a guy tell me they are all going to hell because he has never heard them praise Jesus...

Here's my two cents... regardless of species, beings that are too young to know any better cannot sin... but as a child or a piglet or a hamster grows up, it begins to learn the rules and conventions and laws of it's society and as a consequence, is given the choice to either follow them or not. Anyone who says that animals dont have agency apparently haven't met my dog - who will sneak off and misbehave the moment you let him and knows he'll be in trouble if he does.... Some animals may be smarter than others, but it is a long strech to claim that they just kind of walk around and never make their own choices...

What do you think?

Allah cites another similitude of two men…

One of them is dumb and deaf and cannot do any work, and has become a burden upon his master; wherever he despatches him, he does nothing useful. There is the other one, who enjoins justice and follows the Right Way. (Ask them):
"Are these two men equal?"

The five books of Moses were given to 3 million people who heard G-d speak to them.

From that we go to the New Testament which is mostly Paul having visions throughout his life and a bunch of others that had little first hand knowledge of someone named Jesus who alleged to be G-d.

Then we have the Koran with Muhammad as the sole source.

Why did G-d go from 3 million to a single point of failure?

Allah cites a similitude (of two men): one of them is a slave, who is owned by another has no power over anything. There is the other man whom We Ourselves have provided with a fair provision from which he freely spends openly and secretly. (Ask them); "Are these two men equal?"—May God be praised ! But most people do not understand (this simple thing)

“You are Peter, and on this rock I [Jesus] WILL BUILD MY CHURCH, and THE POWERS OF DEATH SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT.” (Emphasis added) -Mt 16:18

Do Protestants believe that the powers of death did prevail against it until modern day Protestants came about?

I trust completely in what Jesus (God in the flesh) said, how about you?

Are they trying to get rid of the ice? If so, why do certain restaurants have more ice to get rid of? Why don't I see this in sushi restaurants, then? Or is there some other reason? Nothing comes to mind, and I have been curious for years. Anyway, if you know, I'd love to hear. Heck, even if you don't know but have a good (or humorous) explanation, that would be great, too.

How can you be in the military for this country when your parents were allowed in the same restaurant as whites? How can you be Christian when you were originally Muslim before your parents were raped and separated through slavery? I'm just curious. The darker the skin, the deeper the roots but mentally and spiritually, are you guys still chained up? Oh my God, please no I feel the love, read the Bible, he died for our sins, this and that; just think before you answer. No offense to any one.

If the parking spot is to your left, you usually turn on your left blinker/turn signal and vice versa for the right. So what about in front of you?
