Its such a lot of media hype.

Scots never have supported England in the Football and probably never will but it seems it was just this year the media decided to step up a hate campaign, even the bbc were seen to fake scenarios to promote the hatred.

Don't the English realise that the Scottish people don't take this seriously and its all banter?

We don't need any skeptics responses here, just a question for Christians, what is it going to be like. Literally gold? Constant worship? The Garden of Eden? Like here, only without sin? What will it be like?

From Nooma, Velvet Elvis, Mars Hill Church, Everything is Spiritual Tour. Some call him this generation's Martin Luther as far as reforming the church to closer to what God intended. If you know who he is, what is your opinion of him?

Wisdom 14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. Again, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more rotten than the vessel that carrieth him.

2. For verily desire of gain devised that, and the workman built it by his skill.

3. But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the waves;

4. Shewing that thou canst save from all danger: yea, though a man went to sea without art.

5. Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak vessel are saved.

6. For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.

7. For blessed is the wood whereby righteousness cometh.

8. But that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he made it; and it, because, being corruptible, it was called god.

9. For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful unto God.

10. For that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it.

11. Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and stumblingblocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.

12. For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life.

13. For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.

14. For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.

15. For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.

16. Thus in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong was kept as a law, and graven images were worshipped by the commandments of kings.

17. Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.

18. Also the singular diligence of the artificer did help to set forward the ignorant to more superstition.

19. For he, peradventure willing to please one in authority, forced all his skill to make the resemblance of the best fashion.

20. And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured.

21. And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.

22. Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.

23. For whilst they slew their children in sacrifices, or used secret ceremonies, or made revellings of strange rites;

24. They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer undefiled: but either one slew another traiterously, or grieved him by adultery.

25. So that there reigned in all men without exception blood, manslaughter, theft, and dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, tumults, perjury,

26. Disquieting of good men, forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of kind, disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness.

27. For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.

28. For either they are mad when they be merry, or prophesy lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear themselves.

29. For insomuch as their trust is in idols, which have no life; though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt.

30. Howbeit for both causes shall they be justly punished: both because they thought not well of God, giving heed unto idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising holiness.

31. For it is not the power of them by whom they swear: but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that punisheth always the offence of the ungodly.

I realize this may seem a rather odd question but I am serious and I am sorry if I hurt anyone by bringing up sad memories , When my father passed I could have sworn I seen his hand give a little wave of the fingers. I mentioned this to no one until a niece of mine asked if anyone had noticed such a thing and in all 4 of us thought we saw it but hadn't spoke to one another about it previously. He had been previously embalmed and the hand appeared to be in the original position afterward.

They always use genesis to control women and .... who do they think they are. In the bible other places if they read on that's not the only part talking about women. That's just how people do it, they mostly twist the words and make it for themselves and make people who actually are christians look bad or something. In other places in the bible it says that women(eve the first) was made to be equal to Adam. Woman is said not to have been taken out of man's head to be lorded-over by him, nor from his feet to be trampled upon, but from his side to be equal with him, from under his arm to be protected by him and from near his heart to be loved by him. Also the golden rule to treat others as you would like to be treated. Everyone was created equal and no one is above anyone else.

I understand Mister turning into Mr. and Miss into Ms., they're abbreviated. But there does Misses (as in a married woman) turn into Mrs.?!?!

This crossed my mind earlier and has been bugging me ever since. If someone could explain why it's abbreviated as Mrs., and where it came from, that would put my mind at ease.

Thanks in advance!

I am just wondering because I do. I am more than willing to listen and learn what another believes and why but when someone starts preaching to me telling me that I am wrong, going to hell, and judging me I tend to walk away or at the least stop listening. What do you think and how do you feel and react in these situations? (And just before someone asks I am a Catholic.)
