How do you speak Spain spanish? Like, how do you do the accent with the z's and c's and when and all that? Right now i think i speak with a mexican or puerto rican accent, i forgot what my teacher told me. I am just wondering if someone could describe the accent from where they come from, not just necesarily the Spain one. Thanks!

Answer this christians...the church just moves them on, they hardly ever get convicted! But because they are 'men of god' they get away with it...yeah this is a great example of the contradictory faith that is christianity "no man shall lie with man as they would a woman"

Everybody has seen the television show blasphermous jokes on Christianity as it's seen as acceptable. Yet other religions such as islamics go mad when a few artists pictures are released.
This is not what I would call equality.

It's wrong to commit suicide, however, the bible says Jesus was the incarnation of God. So if Jesus was God, and he purpously died on the cross, regardless of the reason, then is Jesus/God not a suicide, therefore, breaking his own rules?

Let me clarify this before people start going off on me like little 3 year olds having a tantrum. Why do we feel the need to define and restrict ourselves to one religion? Why is it that when we choose one, it's totally unacceptable to study another, let alone talk about it, let's say at Church or other religious meetings? Why is it that if you are one religion the others are 100% invalid. This is so narrowminded and just makes no sense to me. How many other people share my pain?

I wasn't going to post this, but I've been totally wiped out down to my underwear 4 times in my life and I recieved NO outside help to get back on MY feet. I did that ALONE!

In June, FEMA and Austin Tx, along with the Texas DWS setup a job fair/training for all the Katrina evacuees in the Austin area to be held at the ACC campus in East Austin.
Several of the evacuees said they had no transportation to get from the apartment complexes. So the city of Austin set up transportation for each of them to ensure they would be able to partake of job searching.The transportation consisted of nine buses and vans, to shuttle back and forth to the campus to ensure that the hundreds of people looking for jobs could be transported. The vehicles were brought right to their residences and every effort was made. Nine vans and buses transported a total of one person. Not one person per bus,one person total. At the end of the day, none of the Katrina Evacuees applied for any of the jobs.

Do we not considered a woman or child to be raped when some one or something has sex with them without their knowledge or consent? Were God to be tried in a court of law would he/she not be declared and convicted as a pervert and would his/her name not be on the child molestors list .

God didn't wake-up one day and pick His Son's mother at "random." Like the Psalm says, he knew her from the first moment and destined her (like all humans) for her ministry. He prepared her for it by endowing her with grace (Luke 1.28). Gabriel and Elizabeth humbled themselves before the "Mother of my Lord" (Luke 1.43), but fundies treat Mary like dirt. It's obvious that no one should ascribe "divinity" to Mary, but treating her with reverence as a fellow human, spiritual "mother" is no crime. Fundies supposedly should treat their own mothers with honor and love, and Jesus doesn't get "jealous." How can they treat their Lord's Mother with anything less than good human love and respect? No one has to worship her, but she can be rendered enormous human "love". She herself said "All generations shall call me blessed" (Luke 1.48). Fundies like to skip that bit of Scrip.

FUNDIE IN LINE FOR ALLEGED "HEAVEN": Let me in, Lord, Lord!

JESUS: "You dissed my mother, and yours. NEXT!"

I've been hypnotized before by other people, and have found some of my past lives... However I don't know how to relax enough to meditate or hypnotize myself so I can do it on my own.
Any suggestions?

As the Bible states, sin passed from Adam to all men.
But, if it was as some claim, and God made other people (hence there needed to be NO marriage betweenbrother and sister), then they would have been without sin and therefore one of them could have been the sacrifice for sin.

Would this not be a type proof that there WERE NOT other people created?

Dictatorship or communist countries do not allow for the freedom of religion. There are no freedoms, however nations found on Christian beliefs have all the freedoms. Why not relocate to a religion free environment such as these dictatorship or communist nations if you oppose christianity.

You want us to allow your atheist and racist beliefs, yet you do not want us to have our freedoms. Please remember we are not yet in a dictatorship.

There were several questions regarding whether or not the SDAs are a cult, but all of the questions were closed to answers. There are a lot of opinions, but I would like to draw attention to the Christian Research Institute's (a non-SDA organization) findings on this question.

This is still the position taken by today's Christian Research Institute:

Though several capable Christian scholars (e.g. Anthony Hoekema, J.K. van Baalen, John Gerstner) have concluded that SDA is a non-Christian cult system, CRI has continued to assert that this is not the case. We take this position based on the content of the doctrine which was stated in an official SDA publication (1957) entitled Questions on Doctrine.

Since SDA does accept the foundational doctrines of historic Christianity (The Trinity, Christ's true deity, His bodily resurrection, etc.) we do not believe that it should be classified as a non-Christian cult.

Official Statement of the Christian Research Institute.

The Christians in my family are arrogant. The Christians that answer my questions on Yahoo Answers about religion (just look at some of the answers I've received....why is it that when you say the word religion they automatically think that means Christianity. Aren't their other religions out there?). The men that founded this country were Christians and arrogant. If you're not an arrogant Christian, that's great and this question doesn't apply to you. I want to hear from the arrogant ones please.

The bible tells us that the sacrifice for the sins of man needed to be one that was without sin. If that was Mary, why the need for Christ?

Mary took a two dove sacrifice to the temple.
If she was without sin, why did she do it?
Jesus was baptized, but it is recorder that HE didit as an EXAMPLE for us to follow.
If Mary had no sin then why was it only recorded her act of sacrifice for HER SIN, and not explained as an example for us, as it was with Christ?

The angel told Joseph not to take Mary into his bed, until AFTER the child, Christ, was born.
There existed no prohibition for the whole of their marriage.
Even in the Bible, it was recognized by Christ, that he had brothers from his mother Mary.

HOw can this doctrine be, and what purpose does it serve, seeing as how it matters not anything about Mary, but Christ?

We are told that God did not need her, that he could have raised Christ up from a stone.
