Society & Culture - 5 July 2006

There are only two classes of people in the world, both then as well as now: Those who repent of their sins and those who refuse to; those who turn away from their sins and those who won't. It is very important to understand this, because a person who comes to Jesus and becomes a true follower of His is always a person who is turning away from their sins. There is no exception. A person who is not turning away from their sins is not a true follower of Jesus, no matter what it may say on their bumper sticker. Being a follower of Jesus and being truly repentant cannot be separated from each other. When we speak about being repentant, you may ask, repentant of what? Repentant of our selfishness, our pride, our lust, our bitterness and resentment, and our lack of self-control, just to name a few.

It doesn't have to be verbal, it can be in a letter, email, instant message, whatever.

Last night a neighbor came to visit. he was standing on the porch and I saw a vapor rising behind him and went above his shoulders.it reminded me of cold mornings when you breathe and see what looks like smoke. In the Bible man is described as a vapor.God breathe into man the breath of life and man became a living soul, What did I see? The neighbor told me it might have been a spirit.Was it demon or angel?Please support your opinion.

I read that Germans are cold towards foreigners because of low employment. Is this true? Are they especially cold towards Russians or Americans? Thank you!

And why are most people so afraid to have a real discussion with someone?

Most Christians dont "Hate" homsexuals
Most Christians dont go around saying "Go to hell heathen"

Further, just because somone claims to be a Christian doesnt make them one, being a Christian involves actually following the teachings of Christ. I believe there is a different from being saved, and being a Christian.

I wonder how many people have actually known real Christians and how many people have just had encounters with radicals and insane people. And how much of these generalizations are from personal experience and how much is from tv and jokes.

What say you?

I have been seeing the term "bio" instead of "bi" in questions lately about bi-sexuality or ambisexuality. Is this a new term or are people just bad typists, or misinformed? I have never heard of anyone describing themselves as "bio."

While I'm on the subject, what's an "emo" person? I assume people are not referring to Emo Phillips.

My mother in law is jewish and superstisis. When her mother died she coverd all the mirrors in the house and before you could walk in the house you had to rinse your hands with water to''wash away the dead''. I thought this was rediculus. What about ''red ribbons keep away evil''. or putting your purse on the floor takes away money. She did not let me and my husband buy our baby a nursey untill after he was born, she said it was a jewish thing, it gives bad luck.

I wanted to know if any women (other than me) have a fetish for other womens feet? Do you like seeing other women barefoot? For example, I love to see the soles of womens feet...the smoother, the better! (Probably ties into my love for ticklish feet) I LOVE when my friends and I hang out in the summer and I can see their bare soles!
Whose feet do you like to see? Do they know? Are you open about it or secretive?
I just want to know if i'm alone...

They are almost as untrustworthy as Horoscopes.

If we had a book full of predictions for the coming thousand years, would it not be possible that some nut job that wants to be famous might read these predictions and decide that they will fulfill one so that they can go down in history as Prophecy #28? It's not like prophecies come in sealed envelopes that can't be opened until 2 years after they happen. Don't you think a deranged psycho like Son of Sam or Charles Manson or Adolph Hitler could be capable of such a display of Grotesque Artwork?

Something else I've noticed is that people are always trying to associate every single major traumatic event with an occurrence in the Book of Revelations. The Civil War, The Holocaust, 9/11, The Cold War, Hurricane Katrina. You name it. There was, however, no mention in the Book of Revelations about Tiananmen Square, though.

Could we all get together and not pray to our imaginary god that christians (and other religious nuts) will stop trying to pray for us? I think if we combine all our non-prayers together, our Non-god will hear us and negate their silly prayers.

Can I get an AMEN?

Do women have a foot fetish? Do women like to see other women's barefeet? If so, what part of the foot (if any) do you like to see? Do you like to see your friends feet or women you don't know?
I was just wondering if a foot fetish only effects men or women too.

Not just when mixed with white and african american, but any mixed person if they resemble a certain race more, people dont consider that they are mixed but just say they are of one race. I dont think thats cool that their other race isnt acknowledged.
Ex. Halle berry is referred to as African American but she is mixed

The Lady Hope story of Darwin's magical religious transformation is not true. It is an urban legend used by christians as propaganda.

"I was present at his deathbed, Lady Hope was not present during his last illness, or any illness. I believe he never even saw her, but in any case she had no influence over him in any department of thought or belief. He never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier. We think the story of his conversion was fabricated in the U.S.A. ... ...The whole story has no foundation whatever." - Henrietta Litchfield, Darwin's daughter

Do I have to post this every day until you people get it?

How good it would be if Christian joins together and pray for all the people in this forum so that they may stop writing sarcastic and rude comments and in turn spread love and joy. If u r a Christian just stop writing and pray for just one minute
Write ur suggestion please…
