“14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. [c] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature [d] a slave to the law of sin.”

His behavior tends to be flamboyant. Is it rude to ask him to try to act differently around my other friends? I don't want to lose any of these people as friends.

Lev 15:19 And if a woman have an issue, [and] her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

Please provide names immeditaly as these harlots must be beat to death. Thank you for your cooperation.

As always, anyone who does not provide a name is collaborating with sinners and will be beaten.

May God's Love and Peace shine upon you.

For about the past 5yrs. I've been dealing with some inner conflicts, and trying to find my true direction. Everytime I have one of "those days" (spiritually), I find that somewhere nearby is a raven/crow. Either its crowing or just flying right above my head. Personally I think these birds are one of the most beautiful animals, but I cant help but to wonder...what is the meaning of these crows?!! I could really use some mystical insight here.

How do you view it? Honest beliefs only please. Do you think your whole spirit goes into another person? Can it go into an animal? Broken up and goes into lots of beings? Through DNA to our children? Through our deeds? Just curious as to what other people find plausible?

I live in Keene New Hamsphire, Chesire County. About six years ago my brother, my mom, and I were walking through a park in Keene. On our way back, there was a HUGE black cat, with floppy ears, and huge paws sitting in the path! It must of been a panther! Although the fish and game department say that panther left New Hampshire in the late 1800's, I do not believe it. The cat was to big to be a bobcat, or lynx, and it did not have pointy ears. All black, and in the middle of Keene, in a state park! I still remeber it and it still scares me. The "panther" did see us, but it just sat there, staring at us! DO you think it is possible! I do! There were also lot of other people in the park, but no one else seemed to have seen it.

For the Christian death is only temporary, we look forward to that day because we will live eternally in heaven.

The peace we have comes from the one who has kept all his promises to us.

He promised us he would suffer, die, and rise..

Luke 24:46He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

Then he delivered..
Acts 10:39"We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a tree, 40but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen.

He promises us salvation through faith..
Hebrews 9:27Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

He will deliver.

Are you afraid to die?

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. [Another biblical contradiction]

Willys cynical thought for the day;

Smart is when you only believe half of what you hear. Brilliant is when you know which fugging half!

Here are your top 7 winners of 2006 so far... Can't wait to see what the rest of the year will bring us!

In case you don't know, the Darwin Awards are an annual honor given to the person who did the gene pool the biggest service by killing themselves in the most extraordinarily stupid way.
 
Last year's winner was the fellow who was killed by a Coke machine which toppled over on top of him as he was attempting to tip a free soda out of it.
 
And the nominees this year, in reverse order, are:
 
7. A young Canadian man, searching for a way of getting drunk cheaply because he had no money with which to buy alcohol, mixed gasoline with milk. Not surprisingly, this concoction made him ill, and he vomited into the fireplace in his house. The resulting explosion and fire burned his house down, killing both him and his sister.
 
6. A 34-year-old white male found dead in the basement of his home died of suffocation, according to police. He was approximately 6' 2" tall and weighed 225 pounds. He was wearing a pleated skirt, white bra, black and white saddle shoes, and a woman's wig. It appeared that he was trying to create a schoolgirl's uniform look. He was also wearing a military gas mask that had the filter canister removed and a rubber hose attached in its place. The other end of the hose was connected to one end of a hollow tube approx. 30" long and 3" in diameter. The tube's other end was, for reasons unknown, inserted into his rectum and was the cause of his suffocation. Police found the task of explaining the circumstances of his death to his family very awkward.
 
5. Three Brazilian men were flying in a light aircraft at low altitude when another plane approached. It appears that they decided to moon the occupants of the other plane, but lost control of their own aircraft and crashed. They were all found dead in the wreckage with their pants around their ankles.
 
4. A 22-year-old, man was found dead after he tried to use octopus straps to bungee jump off a 70 foot railroad trestle. Fairfax County police said Eric Barcia, a fast-food worker, taped a bunch of these straps together, wrapped one end around one foot, anchored the other end to the trestle at Lake Accotink Park, jumped and hit the pavement. Warren Carmichael, a police spokesman, said investigators think Barcia was alone because his car was found nearby. "The length of the cord that he assembled was greater than the distance between the trestle and the ground" Carmichael said. Police say the apparent cause of death was "Major trauma."
 
3. A man in Alabama died from rattlesnake bites. It seems that he and a friend were playing a game of catch, using the rattlesnake as a ball. The friend, no doubt a future Darwin Awards candidate, was hospitalized.
 
2. Employees in a medium sized warehouse in west Texas noticed the smell of a gas leak. Sensibly, management evacuated the building, extinguishing all potential sources of ignition; lights, power, etc. After the building had been evacuated, two technicians from the gas company were dispatched. Upon entering the building, they found they had difficulty navigating in the dark. To their frustration, none of the lights worked. Witnesses later described the sight of one of the technicians reaching into his pocket and retrieving an object that resembled a cigarette lighter. Upon operation of the lighter-like object, the gas in the warehouse exploded, sending pieces of it up to three miles away. Nothing was found of the technicians, but the lighter was virtually untouched by the explosion. The technician suspected of causing the blast had never been thought of as 'bright' by his peers.
 
AND THE WINNER.....(ouch....)
 
1. Based on a bet by the other members of his threesome, Everitt Sanchez tried to wash his own "balls" in a ball washer at the local golf course. Proving once again that beer and testosterone are a bad mix, Sanchez managed to straddle the ball washer and dangle his balls in the machine. Much to his dismay, one of his buddies upped the ante by spinning the crank on the machine with Sanchez's balls in place, thus wedging them solidly in the mechanism. Sanchez, who immediately passed his threshold of pain, collapsed and tumbled from his perch. Unfortunately for him, the height of the ball washer was more than a foot higher off the ground than his testicles are in a normal stance, and his balls were the weakest link. Sanchez's balls ripped open during the fall, and one testicle was plucked from him forever and remained in the ball washer, while the other testicle was compressed and flattened as it was pulled between the housing of the washer and the rotating machinery inside. To add insult to injury, Sanchez broke a new $300.00 driver that he had just purchased from the pro shop which he was using to balance himself. Sanchez was rushed to the hospital for surgery, and the remaining threesome was asked to leave the course.
 
Note: This last one wouldn't normally count, because the idiot didn't die. But, because he cannot reproduce as a result of his qualifying act of stupidity, we have allowed it.

This is a serious question to Christians, no bashing intended:

What do you think is the nicest, most polite way a person can (or has in your experience) basically told you that they weren't interested in Christianity, or accepting Jesus into their hearts, etc. I really want to know, if you were telling someone about God and they told you they weren't interested -- how would you want them to say it? (This is assuming they didn't say yes.)

It is amazing to me that this whole Mel Gibson incident is being given wall to wall coverage, just like the birth of Angelina Jolie's baby. I mean sure this may be news for people who want to see it but every minute every hour is a bit ridiculous.
