Ok, this is no big deal, but Im curious to know what you would do in this situation. So, I went to del taco yesterday, my order was $2 bux, I was in the drive through, I handed the guy a $5 dollar bill, and he gave me the food, and handed me my change, as i drove forward, i noticed he had given me $8.00 back, he must have thought i gave him a $10.00. My question is, what would you have done, parked the car and returned the $5 bux that wasnt yours or keep driving?

In Matthew it boils down to you can't divorce your wife unless she is unfaithful. In Mark the teaching could be construed to leave the door open for polygamy. It mentions nothing about a woman being unfaithful. It doesn't say that a man who marries a second women committs adultery. In Luke, the teaching is that a divorced woman cannot remarry. However, the man is free to divorce as long as he doesn't remarry? Luke makes no mention of a woman's unfaithfulness. In all three Gospels, the scenario of a man's unfaithfulness is never considered. Is this subtle misogyny?

Matthew 5: 31-32; 19:9, Mark 10: 11-12, Luke 16:18

I saw this album in the music store under the gospel section. Four sodomites posing as ministers. Isn't this blasphemous?

The Word of God says many times that it is the Holy Spirit which is the seal/guarantee of one's salvation. If that be so, would anyone who does not have the gifts of the Spirit, or does not show the Spirit to be evident in his/her life be sent to Hell on the final day?

If evolution came up with an immune system how did it know that we (or any other creature) would need one? Did it know that it came up with viruses and the like? How can evolution reason this out?

first i have to say that quran was revealed to prophet mohammad who couldn`t read or write 1400 years a go in arabia. the spritual and moral content and the devine beauties of the quran is so attractive that most people become muslims because of
the strong love between themselves and the one god(god of ibrahim, jesus,moses and others who is one god and has no partners or son or daughter), it is a book that when recited moves people to tears. a book that is memorised completely by millions of people
but some people are after proofs , they cant have faith easily, they are after signs
if you are like them,I want to share with you just some of the many many miracles of the quran.

WORD REPETITION IN THE QURAN

keep ind that quran is considered by arabs whether muslim or NOT as the greatest piece of arabic literatureand and it was impossible to just add or delete words in order to get these balances.

The word "land" appears 13 times in the Qur'an and the word "sea" 32 times, giving a total of 45 references. If we divide that number by that of the number of references to the land we arrive at the figure 28.888888888889%. The number of total references to land and sea, 45, divided by the number of references to the sea in the Qur'an, 32, is 71.111111111111%. Extraordinarily, these figures represent the exact proportions of land and sea on the Earth today

The statement of "seven heavens" is repeated seven times. "The creation of the heavens (khalq as-samawat)" is also repeated seven times.

"Day (yawm)" is repeated 365 times in singular form, while its plural and dual forms "days (ayyam and yawmayn)" together are repeated 30 times. The number of repetitions of the word "month" (shahar) is 12.

The number of repetitions of the words "plant" and "tree" is the same: 26

The word "payment or reward" is repeated 117 times, while the expression "forgiveness" (mughfirah), which is one of the basic morals of the Qur'an, is repeated exactly twice that amount, 234 times.

When we count the word "Say," we find it appears 332 times. We arrive at the same figure when we count the phrase "they said."

The number of times the words, "world" (dunya) and "hereafter" (akhira) are repeated is also the same: 115

The word "satan" (shaitan) is used in the Qur'an 88 times, as is the word "angels" (malaika).

The number of times the words "man" and "woman" are repeated in the Qur'an, 23, is at the same time that of the chromosomes from the egg and sperm in the formation of the human embryo. The total number of human chromosomes is 46; 23 each from the mother and father.

The word "salawat" appear five times in the Qur'an, and Allah has commanded man to perform the prayer (salat) five times a day

*****look at the complete list of word repetitions in the link for mathematical miracles below***

2- Embryology in the Quran link:

3-Holy Quran and The Lowest Part of the Earth
http://inthenameofgod.brinkster.net/HTML%20DailyPrayers/The%20Holy%20Quran%20mentions%20the%20lowest%20part%20of%20the%20earth%20and%20states%20that%20it%20is%20near%20Jerusalem.htm

4-or in the qoran it is said that the universe is ever expanding which has been proven in recent years

5- it said there is cure in eating bee`s honey and it has been proven by doctors that honey has this effect

6-it said that sun and moon are rotating and it has been proven that they are rotating around their axeses

7-it is also mentioned that the earth is egg-shaped, not spherical, a fact which was recently discovered;

8-it also mentioned that the further the light travels in the universe, the weaker it gets, a fact now discovered by the theory of "tired light";

9-it also metions in detail the pulsar stars (al najm al tariq

and many more ....

http://www.harunyahya.com/miracles_of_the_quran_01.php

dont forget that qoran says that christianity and judiasm was from
god too but prophet mohammad was the last prophet for mankind ,who had the
the same message that jesus and moses and abraham and other propohets had.
and that is to worship one god without partners.

*to non-muslims: what do you say about the miracles( they are too many to be coincidenses )?
* to muslims : why do they ignore the clear facts and proofs?

here is a link to some famous scientists point of view a bout the miracles in the quran.

I recently got engaged to the woman of my dreams. And I was wondering about this. I looked up the the word fiancé in the M-W.com dictionary and the only definition given was "a man engaged to be married". So this means that I am HER fiance', but what am I supposed to call her? (Besides love of my life or my ball & chain). :)

I just read this quote and found that it qualifies as to what I believe a miracle is:
"Miracles... seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what is there about us always."

Agnostic here, not trying to change anyones religion.

Do you believe, as I do, that since Evolution is a Theory that has never been proven as a fact, and that Intelligent Design is a Theory that has never been proven as a fact, that students should be taught the alternative Theory of Unintelligent Design?

Why just look at the evidence, the human being during a day loses what physicists call "dark matter" and emit strange smelling "cosmic gasses". These are stupid things that the human body does, clearly evidence of having been designed - unintelligently.

Again, since Evolution has been been proven as a fact, alternatives should be taught in classes in America. Intelligent Design has never been proven as a fact.

What do you think yahoo answers, shouldn't Unintelligent Design be given equal amount of time, with Evolution and Intelligent Design?

Seems pretty sadistic, that a God, with infinite foresight, would go through with a plan that would throw the majority of the souls into the Lake of Fire. He has created an excess of suffering in existence. Why would he do that? Couldn't he just keep it to himself and not create this miserable damned world? Doesn't he feel our pain even when we're in hell? Doesn't his whole plan seem kind of sadistic to you? (He knew beforehand where every soul was going to end up, even before he made us...)

Any good Christian can tell you that God loves each and every one of us and feels our pain as we are damned. He knows our every action before we do it. He knows the hairs on our head, etc... Why create so many souls he knew were destined for damnation? (Don't tell me he didn't know exactly where we were going. Sure he gave us freewill, but nonetheless he knows exactly how we're going to use it.)

A truly loving and foresightful God would have spared the masses such misery, right?

I lie, and I lie a lot, but recently I was actually caught head on, and had nothing to say its like my mouth just shut. How do I deal with getting caught in a lie.

I know people will say "DONT LIE" but lets be realistic, thats life. The president lies, the government lies, your parents lie, everyone lies. I just want to know how to prepare for getting caught? Im thinking its like being preparred to get kick between the legs, you just hope it doesnt happen but when it does say ouch and then what?
