Can you control your heart beat? Can you make it stop and start again at will? Can you prevent yourself from getting sick or dying? Are you in your own hands , today? Man, since the begining of existance has been trying to control their own destiny and has failed greatly. Oh yes, we now sleep on soft mattresses instead of the hard ground but issue still remains that we need sleep. So ask yourself(businessmen, doctors, lawyer, politicians, and everyone) : Who's really in charge here? Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? Job 40:9

Focus on the negative, and bad things will follow.

I have been following the anti-wittness post over the weeks on here and the responces to the rediculous questions..It is clear as scripture says that they would not be open to reasoning and would make up thier own teachings to thier own understanding(2 timothy 3:1-5). My question to you is ,should we make an effort to correct then online or should we just ignore this topic?

Whether its a carreer choice or something simple like buying a gift for a special person in your life, how do you know whether its God's will or not?

How come 90% of the questions and replies look and read like they were written by a kindergardner?

Come one people they even give you a spell checker. At least if english isn't your primary language you have an excuse.

If you think about it,...many Christians say that it is one of the viles, poured out on the community..but, what better way than to create something so horrible, and let people think that it was something in retaliation created by God?...This would surely turn people against God, wouldn't it? The disease, to me, is the result of the lifestyle that Satan created...to turn people against God. Satan will shine like a bright light, and fool many people,..what do you think?

"Full" as in satisfied with what you have completed thus far.
Satisfied with the legacy you would leave behind?
If no to these, what impedes you?

these days, religion is for creating the differences and increasing and not to unite the people. any suggestions or comments are welcomed.

I know the majority of you are itching to give a negative comment, but I'm just curious. So a simple yes or no would be nice. I ask this because I see a lot of comments about Jehovah's Witnesses that turn out to be false and disproven by information on the website and from actually speaking with one.

We (African Americans) use the N-word like pennies at a candy shop but are quick to be offended when used by other races of people. For a long time I was guilty. But as I grow older I've learned this.... If I call my children "STUPID" but would be willing to sue in the event that one of their teachers called them that, then I should be willing to take myself to court.

Black people wake up! If you make it a term of endearment, then let it be a term of endearment. If you should be ready to spend your life in prison for acting out when a white man call you N*****, then you should be willing to spend you life refraining from saying the word at all.

First of all thank you for visiting this question. Moving to the point, we all know that religion was created by man and hence it is not related to god in any way. But the people have modified it according to their whims and fantasies to suite their prowess. My question is actually on the objective on which 'religion' was first created. Please put forth your views in detail. And please keep in mind that this question is not about "God" or any of religious books and doctrines. So please exclude such topics. I thank everyone in advance. Good luck to you all.

1) It is the NUMBER ONE ADDICTION in the U.S. today.
2) Most men don't admit, or fully realize they are addicts.
3) Married men are committing adultry while viewing porn.
4) Porn addiction crosses all socio-economic lines and that includes all beliefs and faiths.
5) That viewing porn is directly related to other deviant behaviors, such as rape, kiddie porn and seeking out prostitutes.
6) That men are losing their jobs, marriages, homes, cars, and everything of value to them from porn addiction.
7) When a wife discovers her husbands porn addiction she is devastated and feels she can never trust him again.
8) Because porn is an addiction, it takes counseling and accountability. Without those two things, it is difficult to kick the addiction.
9) Boys as young as elementary school level are logging onto porn sites and becoming addicted. This activity will result in abnormal psycho-sexual development, dysfunctional relationships with women and deviant behavior.

This claim was famously made by the Rev Ian Paisley, moderator of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, and now head of the largest political party in Northern Ireland.

Just wondering if other protestants share this view.

There's signs that are clearly stated in the bible as far as the prophesy of Jesus' second coming. Many things are happening that are just too exact to the word of God. It's becoming a big concern for me lately, because I feel the strong urge to read more of the word and let people know that God wants our souls.

Perhaps in the past when english people discovered countries and were too lazy to pronounce it how it is,they created english pronunciations or borrowed them from other languages. But why don't we now start calling countries like with their pronunciations like they are supposed to be --"Mexico( with accent on e", "La France", "Nihon", "Brazil", instead of Russia say what it really is..i don't even know what it is in russian. etc etc.
