Is the custom unique to Judaism? I am wondering whether Moslems share this dietary law with Jews, since many of their religious laws regarding health and other matters appear to overlap.

I am also wondering about the reason or justification behind this restriction on eating meat and dairy products at the same time. I assume that the followers would not eat a cheeseburger.

Isn't murder a sin?

Replace the word sin with murder and you get

Jesus died for your murders.

Jesus Lied About Prayer



Jesus is quoted many times in the Bible saying that a believer can ask for anything through prayer and receive it. He even goes so far as to say that mountains and trees can be thrown into the sea simply by praying for it. This is clearly a lie, and can be proven to be a lie by any believer. Simply pray for me to be converted to Christianity right away. Or better yet ask God to move the mountains behind my house. He could make a lot of converts that way. If I’m converted today, I’ll post a public apology on my web site and devote my life to kissing God’s ***. If I’m not converted it would only be fair for you to apologize and devote your life to kissing my butt.



Here are the quotes from Jesus that proves that he lied:



1) And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:21-22 NAS)



2) Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8 NAB)



3) Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst. (Matthew 18:19-20 NAS)



4) Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. (Mark 11:24-25 NAB)



5) And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (Luke 11:9-13 NAB)



6) And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14 NAB)



7) If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. (John 15:7 NAB)



8) It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. (John 15:16 NAB)



9) On that day you will not question me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. (John 16:23-24 NAB)



A lot of Christians ignore what Jesus actually says in the Bible. They also tend to add things to the actual words to make them say something else. If you honestly and truthfully read these quotes, without adding to them, it is very easy to see that Jesus is not saying that God will think about your prayers. He says God will grant all your prayers. Clearly, God doesn’t grant all prayers and this proves that Jesus was a habitual liar.

i one time mocked Jesus in a chat room? like, if I were standing at the pearly gates and he was deciding, then almost let me in but was like "Hey, wait a sec, remember that time way back when you made fun of me in that chat room? Oh no way are YOU getting in! That's unforgivable, even for me!"

I am myself 100 % Polish but gays are OK for me as long as they are not too much feminine, I mean as long as they stay men. Well, generally I accept gay people and I count on character. I even think I of myself as gay or bisexual and I even feel horny when I look into guy's eyes. But I think that may gay Poles just hide they are gay and identify themselves as straight. Poland is country that is politically religious. Catholic Church there has strong influence on people and even government as long as government is not post-communist. Officially Catholic Church is supposed to accept homosexuality though it does not accept homosexual practices and gay marriages. There was a situation where even one very old 80 years old conservative priest at a local Polish church spoke against homosexuals so that I would say he discriminated which was very bad to hear that. It was once in MA but never in Chicago. I know some Polish have good opinion and some bad. What do you think about Polish people?

ok, growing up, i when ever i got the upper hand in a "debate with authorities" well, more like an arguement with my parents, they'd tell me this "quit while you're ahead"....what's up with that? to use another phrase, "winners never quit, & quitters never win". does that mean my parents WANTED ME TO LOSE?
this is perplexing...<---did i spell that right? i don't care to double check my spelling right now.
