I don't quite understand. I don't see the difference between the word except for the abscence of the "e" and "r." Either than that it's the same word. It's like this:

leader - leada(same meaning)
sneaker - sneaka(same meaning)
sofer - sofa(jking jking)

Do you see what I'm saying? Why complain that other races say it when we do it ourselves?

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE MEANING!!

Jesus says i am the way the truth and the life, no one cometh unto the father but by me." tellin the truth then he is the final judge and the Messiah- he cant be called good if you say he is lying!
Isaiah predicted Jesus to be the Messiah and the Son of God-dont lie and say your Jewish or Muslim and then call Isaiah a liar "Unto us a child is born, a son is given, and he will be the prince of peace, the almighty God, and the woderfull counselor." if Jesus isnt the Messiah what other Son of God is given-who else would be God almighty come to earth? dont lie and call yourself Jewish or Muslim-if your a heathen rejecting Isaiah just admit it but dont defame my Jewish religion-which gentiles come too and believe in Jesus heart and soul too-as predicted "He will be a light to the gentiles too" Isaiah 42 vs 1

If you are an interactionist, do you think nature and nurture have equal weight (50/50 %)?

Honest question. I don't mean to be flippant or offend anyone. I ask this becaues I wonder if the American Frontier (the unsettled Old West) created a unique situation for Mormonism to thrive, unaffected by the rest of the US. By the time the frontier had become settled to the point of territories becoming states, Mormonism had grown to the point that the Mormon Church had actual political power and could not be denied legitimacy without civil conflict.

I also ask this because I wonder if the Mormon Church would have the same power and legitimacy today if it were founded in today's society instead of during the time of the American Frontier.

Again, I don't mean to offend or be flippant. If my question reflects a lack of understanding, please educate me. I am genuinely curious.

Do you Christians really believe that if I, as a Jew, believe in God but not Jesus and uphold God's laws as best as I can and be as good of a person as I can (with a few slip-ups here and there, of course) that I'll be sent to hell anyway?

I'm not just talking Catholics, mind you.

Ever since i turned back to God and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and saviour I see crows. Its like they watch out for me. I hear them every morning and i see them throughout my day. Espically when I have the choice to do something i shouldnt do. I believe that God is using them as messengers to me.
Anybody else have this happen to them?

I was watching family guy and peter said 'thank god' then it cut to a scene where god apologized to some foreign religious figure about the 'thank god' thing. implying that it was the other guy(blue with 4 arms, who is he?) who worked the miracle and god got all the credit. This made me think... even if religion and god and such were real, how do you know which god worked the miracle? do you think that some of the more miniscule gods get ngry and jealous that no one respects them? if they really do exist, then why dont the gods (or just god) show themselves(physically) to everyone and then people would know he/they are real? I can tell already that someone is going to say that you know what god it is, because there is only one. well, how do you know?

Do you play along, or hang up on them? Is there something you can say to them that will scare them away from calling you back?

While not all Muslims are terrorists (of course) it seems like all terrorists are Muslim. Have any clerics spoken out against the violence toward innocent people all over the world that is being carried out in the name of Islam?

Neighbor A is a believer but of a different denomination than you.

Neighbor B is a non believer.

Would you treat the non-believer any differently than the believer? Please remember that non believer can cover more than just atheist and agnostic, the neighbor could be Hindu, Buddhist, Pagan, Satanist, etc...

Why is it that people say you act black or you act white? It's stupid.

Here's what I came up with:

Blacks are the only ones that use "ebonics"

White people aren't the only ones that are hypocrites with big mansions

Asians arent the only short people in existence

Hispanics aren't lazy so I don't understand where that came from(they are the best construction workers I've seen)

British people aren't the only ones with bad hygiene

To sum it all up we are actually all the same just with different tongue and skin color : )

Sorry if some of that seemed racist. I'm not looking for racism.
