I would question such practice, because God's prophets haven't been wrong or "trumped" by a latter prophet.

For instance, Smith taught polygamy. Now, they have trumped Peepstone, their founder. I guess he didn't see it "correctly". Blacks were frowned upon in joining the church because they had a totally racist myth about a "debate" in heaven.

and get laid that night...not because they're attractive but because most men aren't picky. Do women realize this?

I'm 23 and I work with a lot of older men, and all of them at one point told me that it dosen't matter what she looks like...Do women know this?

The apostle Paul was jailed, stoned and beaten for his beliefs. This did not deter him form spreading the gospel. Should we not be as strong minded and not be detered by atheists or the like. It does not matter what they say or do we should make know the gospel of Christ. Christ said they will persecute you as they did him and others before. We are no different, we even have it better because at the moment we do not face death in this country for sharing our faith. We should therefore be proud and stand firm be not wavered by evil.

I am not saying force someone to belief, but live a life that is Christ like and be an example for others to follow.

Too often I hear so called Christian polititians say they do not wear their religion on their shoulder, I think that is plain stupid. We are our beliefs, we are Chististians and Christ should be first before everything else.

Genesis 3:21reads, "The Lord made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them." (see also Genesis 3:7) In this account, when God banished Adam and Eve from the garden he still loved them. He cared about them. He sacrificed an animal in order to cover them and help them overcome their sense of shame. He could have woven a grass skirt and gave it to them. But he did not. He sacrificed an innocent animal. This points to the sacrifiicial system where God provides the sacrifice and the sacrifice involves the shedding of blood and the sacrifice takes away shame. Jesus was the final sacrifice provided by God. His innocent, shed blood on the cross takes away our shame caused by sin. God did it because he loves us. In that sense Genesis 3:21 is a prophecy about Jesus and what he does for us. Do you agree? Why or why not?

So, we are supposed to be a forward thinking, evolved species. So why are we supposed to do what god tell's us to?!
Back in the bygon ages people didn't wait until they were married to have sex. In Africa before the West took Christianity with them they had sex to procreate - as all animals do, they didn't have to have a ceremony.
If god created us all, he's created Gay people - so why is being gay wrong to a Christian?! It's not a personal choice, it's who they are.
Those who are brough up in a country where the major religion is not Christianity, why should they be punished for not having access to the 'teachings'? They are not believers...
Not allowing Condom use (Catholic) is inhumain for 3rd world nations. Did god tell the Catholic church that it's better for thousands of people to die? Women who have been rapped and been given aids or received blood transfusions have a right to have sex, why shouldn't they? But they can protect others too!

At the beginning of history the people had many gods, they had a god for everything. Then civilizations arose and of course they had their favorite gods, there were the ones that were all god and then there were the half god half man gods and they veried in strength. However there was one small civilization that had only one God and he was all powerful and would defend his worshipers with a vengeance. So my question is, what is the probability this one all powerful God was just their way of posturing so as to keep their enemies at bay.

Given the following rules to this language:

andur- = to see (add endings directly to stem.)
maami - father (drop the "i" and then add endings)
Ianna - John (no changes to proper nouns before endings)
Word order is : VSO. (verb, subject, object)

Anduro maami Iannas.
Andurit maamat Ianna.
Anduro Ianna maams.
Andurit Iannat maami.

Can you translate these sentences and give a name to any grammatical cases which may be present?

Ok I don't wanna start an argument but I really wanted to receive an honest response. I'm a spanish student and I really do love learning and speaking it but sometimes I wonder everytime hispanic/latino esp. mexicans talk it sounds very very loud when their talking I don't know maybe but I observed that even when they whisper or talk to their neighbors it seems that their fighting like really wild lol even when I watched telemundo and univision. but yea so I asked my Cuban teacher and she wasn't surprised with my question and laughed and she told me because hispanic people they have to pronounce everything by syllable plus the "R" really hard and sometimes the double "RR" so they can understand each other. Is this true? Any other feedbacks before I ask my Panamanian friend.

O yea in addition, EverytimeI hear Argentine news or when I hear them talk on tv they don't sound loud and they don't sound as if their fighting it seems that they speak spanish really soft.

Homosexuality is not greater or lesser a sin, however it is still a sin. People say that Jesus did not speak about it, however he did say obey the father in heaven. God's word throughout the bible is against any type of sin including homosexuality. People say they were born this way, that is nonsense. You are not born this way, it is a choice. When the idea comes to mind to sleep with a person of the same sex, it is a choice to sleep with that person. You were not forced into it. You were given the freedom of choice and the choice is to sin and commit homosexuality or chose not to and fight the feelings.
How can this be normal, if it were normal, shouldn't two men or two women be able to give birth? I guess the next question is what about those who prefer animals, I guess they were born this way too? NO, we were born with our physical characteristics, everything else is a choice to do or not to do.

It is in the new and old testaments, it is a sin.
