Before 1948 there was no "Palestinians." But many of you are saying "Sure there was!" Well, if there was, who was the leader of this so-called Palestine before Arafat? There was none. What did the Palestinian flag look like? There was none. What was the official language of this so called Palestine? There was none. So this so-called country exited, yet it had no leader, it had no flag, and it had no official language...interesting!

You see, Palestine was and is the greatest hoax the arabs played on the world. EGYPT owned GAZA. JORDAN owned the WEST BANK. Those 2 cities weren't palestinian cities! They were Egyptian & Jordanian cities. So now you're asking "then why don't they ask for it back?" I will answer that with a question: Who the f**k would want these so called "palestinians"living today in Gaza and West Bank to live in their land?! Who would want these suicidal, homicidal, uneducated, poor, barbarian satanic freaks? Did you know Jordan's King Hussein killed THOUSANDS of "Palestinians"in September of 1980 in what became known as BLACK SEPTEMBER? So did former Syrian dictator Hafez-al-Assad! The arabs themselves have killed more "palestinians" than Israel has!

For two thousand years the central mountainous region of Israel was known as Judea and Samaria, as any medieval map of the area testifies. However, the state of Jordan occupied the area in 1948 and renamed it the West Bank. This is a funny name for a region that actually lies in the eastern portion of the land and can only be called "West" in reference to Jordan. This does not seem to bother the majority of news outlets covering the region, which universally refer to the region by its recent Jordanian name.

The term "Palestinian" is itself a masterful twisting of history. To portray themselves as indigenous, Arab settlers adopted the name of an ancient Canaanite tribe, the Philistines, that died out almost 3000 years ago. The connection between this tribe and modern day Arabs is nil. Who is to know the difference? Given the absence of any historical record, one can understand why Yasser Arafat claims that Jesus Christ, a Jewish carpenter from the Galilee, was a Palestinian. Every year, at Christmas time, Arafat goes to Bethlehem and tells worshippers that Jesus was in fact "the first Palestinian".

If the Palestinians are indeed a myth, then the real question becomes "Why?" Why invent a fictitious people? The answer is that the myth of the Palestinian People serves as the justification for Arab occupation of the Land of Israel. While the Arabs already possess 21 sovereign countries of their own (more than any other single people on earth) and control a land mass 800 times the size of the Land of Israel, this is apparently not enough for them. They therefore feel the need to rob the Jews of their one and only country, one of the smallest on the planet. Unfortunately, many people ignorant of the history of the region, including much of the world media, are only too willing to help.

He likes to hug me at random moments. And if I sit down he seems to think me a place to lay his head on or something..... He is the very cuddling type too.

I do not mind most times (hanging out alone). I do mind though when in public he shows affection..... Then it is a bit embarrassing.....

Anything I can do?

BTW: We are both 16 years old.

Most (not all) people who believe God exists point to books, holy scripture, or other writings as proof of existence. Most (not all) people who believe God doesn't exist point to the same writings as works of fiction. If God is all, then he exists and doesn't exist at the same time. That is a paradox. Do, then, the writings of faith prove his existence, non existence, or both? Thoughts?

So you want an intelligent reply? How about a witness to reply?
When I was 7 or 8 years old, I was staying with my Grandma Lorine & my father. My grandmother & I saw Jesus standing outside of the living room window standing beside a tree. I told my father so he went outside and stood beside the tree, we were worried because he stayed so long, when he came back inside he said that there was no one outside and I told him that he was still by the tree and that he was standing beside him the whole time. A little later, I saw Jesus' standing over my grandmother's bed.
Since then, I have had many many more sightings of Jesus and of course, the Angels come to. I have talked to people about this, and a preacher said that I was blessed to have seen the Heavenly Father and not to take for granted the gift that God has given me.

Theyre beliefs are based on one persons word ( Joseph Smith) who said god spoke to him and gave him the power to read some tablets(that no one has ever seen) and gave him instructions for better life.

theyre religion is so ridiculous they had to move to the middle of nowhere (utah) so people who where not mormon could not interact with them.

Obviously, I do not believe that there is a God. Just wondering what excuses pro-life believers can conjure up for this question. Don't bother answering if all you can come up with is "God works in mysterious ways."

So that there will be no accepting slavery, kiiling of children, raping women?

Rape:
"Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go." (Judges 19:24-25)

Killing children:
"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." (Psalms 137:9, KJV)

"And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever." (Exodus 21:5-6)

I'm not trying to bring any one down, just trying to have some fun and share knowledge with all that call upon the name of Jesus Christ and God Almighty with Love and Respect.

The Question is:
How does a person know when he/she has recieved Salvation from God? In other words.......... what is one clue that will tell you if a person has (God given) Salvation? The answer is in the bible.

Although the answer is somewhat simple but some may have to dig deep to find it. Please give a simple (as possible) answer which includes tracable scripture..... The first right answer will get the points.
And PLEASE.... no website addresses as I won't click on it and no two page, over kill explanation's.....lol. It's like shooting at a mosquito with a canon...lol. And if you post a joke, make sure it's funny or someone might take offense and report you.

May God bless all my brothers and sisters in Christ and I wish all others no ill will. I hope this brings some intellectual fun.

I was raised baptist and tried to be a christian. When my husband and i were married we had very similar beleifs. He was evangelical. Well a little into our marriage he decided that 7th day adventist were better christians and were more obedient to God. So we started going there over time I started thinking that he was right. then one day he said he thought they were wrong because of Ellen white. He knew of her before that, though. So he got frusturated so we quit going to church.Now we don't go to church cause no church beleives all the things he thinks our right. Like sabbath is on saturday ,hell isn't forever, but no church ,also doesen't beleive in a extra prophet like Ellen white or Joseph smith. What should we do? Im now very confused.
