Silence whispers to my soul
Be at peace and rest your will.
Quiet all that in you screams,
Of solitude and joy take your fill.
Withdraw into this space,
Listen with a humble heart.
Only then can you go forward
Only then of life can you be a part.
The joy, the peace, the solitude,
How I wish I could forever stay.
But life is beckoning me come forward
Come forward and live this day.
So peace I will carry inside me
Joy and Love I will take to share.
This silence will remain in my heart.
To nourish , to give away, to care.
But oh great silence wait for me,
Be here if I need return a while.
I never leave here empty,
Nor go away without a smile

She complains about money being tight and not being able to get internet and cable turned on in time for school. Yesterday she bought a $250 bicycle that I know will only get used for maybe a month. She's like that, she makes and impulse buy and then gets bored with it sonn after. She is pissing me off because I will not pay for things that she uses. The jack for the cable and dsl is in my room and I am seriously contemplating getting it turned on and not telling her. What do I do?

throughout the NT it says over and over again that the people of Judah loved Jesus and placed their faith in him. It was only the Romans and the Priests that hated Jesus and wanted him dead. Why did they change their belief in him?

What do you lot think of this. Say in a murder or rape case both parties have to swear an oath on the bible. Now everyone knows for sure at least one is lying, so thats disrespectful. Everyone does it regardless of belief or disrespect.
Do you think the oath should be abolished, whats your opinion on it?

My twin sister puts her husband before me & will defend him against me, & she said that the Bible says that you must put your spouse before the rest of your family. Is this correct? If so, what scripture does that say that? If she divorces her husband, then what? Does she still put him before me?

Blood family is permanent, & marriage is not guaranteed to work out all the time. How is some dude gonna intrude my family & my own TWIN pushes me to the side to cater to him because "the bible" says so. She does other un-Christly things, so why is she stuck on that.

When she's going through a crisis, I'm the 1st person she calls on-not her husband. When she needs money, she comes to me-not her husband, so how is she supposed to put him before me.

or actually, just in general, when you come across someone you don't know, what do you do? Do you acknowledge them or just pretend they aren't there? Also, where are you from??

I'm just real curious about this because I just moved from the northern east coast and we've always been rated as some of the most unfriendly and rude people in the states, other than New York. I moved down south where people are supposed to be a lot friendlier yet, I've always talked to anyone I come across, no matter where I am.. walking down the street, standing in line, in the aisles in the grocery store.. it doesn't matter, and in situations like that, down here, people seem alot less likely to say hi or even acknowledge you. So I was wondering if maybe it had something to do with what part of the world you were from??

There seems to be a popular misconception, so allow me to clear it up.
Jewish people do NOT believe that jesus was/is :
1) G-d
2) the Messiah
3) a Prophet
4) a Rabbi
5) or even a Good person.
6) (And some do not believe that he even existed.)

Nor do we believe that the "New Testament" is true.
(So don't try to prove me wrong by quoting it, because you might as well quote the memoirs of the tooth fairy.)

And I know that some of you will say "well, I know a jew who believes in jesus so...".
That is not a good point. There are jews who believe in buddha, allah, atheism, and everything. That doesn't make their beliefs typical of jews. What I described above IS the typical beliefs of jews.

Lastly, jews do not believe that we and christians worship that same god, despite the christian claims to the contrary.

Was I clear?

Please keep your answers short.
I will not read long replies, esp. if they're just copy/pasted from some website (try posting a link instead).

I just had someone tell me there is "proven evidence" that Jesus existed and they don't have contact information so I can't ask where it is. Anyone else have it?

This is not school - this is not even a formal forum. Don't you people have better things to do with your time than just patrol for spelling errors? I mean, when the entire answer consists of "This wouldn't be a problem if you had better grammar or spelling" it doesn't show you as a smart person - it shows you as a nasty, anal person with so little going on in your life.

Aren't you here to answer questions? How about actually answering the questions posed instead of just remarks meant to shame or be mean.
