I ve come across scores of very very decent and many very high ranking officials from the corporate world as well as the civil service doing these acts. It sets me wondering if this is proper to be spitting once thru with one's business in the urinal and why do they use their cellphones there? Do they want to prove their authority or somethin? or is it snobery? I think it is snobbish to do so. How do you feel abt it?

i am confused greatly about the whole god thing,but what i do know is people say,he is the way and the life,he is forgiving,blah blah blah,then why are there people that say,are you ready for him?i find that kind of threatning,or people say,stop sinning or you will go to hell,whats with the scare tactics,this just makes me more confused and i dont think anyone even knows what to believe,other than what was grounded in our heads as children,and please no "if you dont stand for something you will fall for anything"...how can i fall if im not standing?or just beleive,thats what a cult leader says,scripture just makes me think you are crazy,anyone else get me,or am i just talking out of my azz?if im talking out of my azz thats ok too right?

You wake up at night to say your prayers
The dogs are awake the whole night through
May be the dogs are superior to you...

The dogs in the night would never stop howling
Sitting on the dung-hill as the do
May be the dogs are superior to you...

Nor would they leave their master's door
Even if they are beaten blue
May be the dogs are superior to you...

"Bullay Shah" its time you took the cue
Lest the dogs prove superior to you
May be the dogs are superior to you...



(I want your views on this Sufi poem by the great Saint "Bullay Shah")

If we go then that would mean everything we evolved from would go to. I am holding out hope that this is not the case but it would certainly seem to be true.

it is known that jesus kissed other guys and was always nude around them. Even in the last supper the apostle to the left is seen very feminine as a secret code. It wasnt that he was married it was that he was gay.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

Exodus, 20:4 (The 2nd Commandment - from which Jesus Christ said no Christian is excused)

I thought Michelangelo's David was a pretty good likeness really. Oh well, scripture is scripture, what to do...

There is a reference in the Bible for when someone gives you a "word" they say is coming from God that you are supposed to get confirmation from 2 other people, so you know it is definitely a word from God. Does anyone know where that can be found? Thanks so much for your help.

I believe that going by what you see in a particular religion, not just it's teachings alone testifies to whether it's the true religion or not. A prophecy from Jesus harmonizes with this statement.

"Likewise every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit; a good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, neither can a rotten tree produce fine fruit. Every tree not producing fine fruit gets cut down and thrown into the fire. Really, then, by their fruits you will recognize those [men]. Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness."-Matthew 7:17-23

There are numerous Christian charities that help people regardless of their religion or culture, such as Christian Aid and Cafod. The Islamic charities I have heard of only seem to give aid to muslims. I have never heard of any that do not discriminate. If anyone knows of any, please name them. If there aren't any, I would like to know why?

Benny Hinn claims to be a prophet of God and regularly issues specific prophecies regarding events that he claims will occur within specific periods of time. However, he has a documented history of making prophecies that have not come true (see below for a partial list). Since, according to the definition specified by the Bible that true prophets inspired by God can never be incorrect in their prophecies, [though this too can be debated because Jonah's prophecy, for example, did not come true even though he was a true prophet Jonah 3:4, 4:1–2], many Christian apologetics ministries, primarily those who oppose the Word of Faith movement in general, consider Benny Hinn to be a false prophet.

Rather than go through the whole punishment and sending Jesus and all that, he could have just wooshed, kicked Lucifer in the nutsack, kill all the snakes off (why have a repeat?) and started over.
