For anything at all to be, or to exist, didn't it first have to be an idea or plan or effort of something ? How could that not be so ?

I hath considered that prhaps if I make a list of homosexuals that have greatly benefitted society, I would therein prove to my followers that homoosexuals are neither "devil possesed" nor "living in sin, away from God"?

Did I miss anyone?

I've also heard that if you learn Latin it is the gateway to a myriad of other languages. Do any multiligual people concur?

Who says it is not right to kill, steal, and cheat? Would we as human beings automatically know that stealing, killing and cheating are wrong? If there was no religion at all wouldn't the world be similar to hell. People doing whatever they want because they don't know any better? Please all Christian and xtians feel free to explain.

So if you buy into the supernatural spooky bible, do you also believe in hobgoblins, witches? Maybe unicorns and leprechauns?
Or do you just choose which made up things to believe in and which not to believe in? C'mon you gotta know it's a bunch of crap.

Then why is the lack of an NDE in the vast majority of people who recover from near death not proof of the lack of an afterlife?

...for those who believe NDEs are more than just brain malfunction

Matthew 5: 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

1 Corinthians 4: 12-13 When we are cursed, we bless, when we are persecuted we endure it, when we are slandered we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.

2 Corinthians 4:8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

Romans 12: 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

I just want to encourage all of you; my brothers and sisters in Christ, to not give up even when people attack you and your faith. I hope these verse will encourage you. Lets continue to stand up for the truth on Yahoo answers.

God Bless you!

I was wondering what the easiest way to learn a language is? I have a hard time learning in a classroom. I can memorize words, it's the grammar and structure I have issues with. I also lose interest quickly. Are there certain programs that work better than others? I was thinking that the Rosetta Stone programs might work, but they're SO expensive. Does anyone know if they work as well as they're said to? Or if there's something out there just as good and not as epensive? I would prefer a program that can keep my interest, and also address my issues with grammar and structure.

Finally, should I learn Spanish or German? I want to learn German the most, but I know learning Spanish will be extremely useful soon if I stay in the USA.

Advertising isn’t just showing off products, it is tricking people into buying products – product of the year just means the company paid for the banner to show off, 85% of women agreed just means a few women out of 75 tested said it was ok, the science part isn't science at all. It is also subconsciously putting ideas into people's heads about how things are – women are the ones who clean the house, men are stupid and bad drivers to boot, you are ugly without make-up, you have to wear Lynx to attract women…

Advertising is everywhere, it is not just kept to the media anymore, on the sides of busses, in our streets, in our toilets...yes because I appreciate being told my vagina smells and I need to fill it with toxic chemicals while I'm sitting in a public loo...really I do[n't]!

Is there a way to avoid advertising?
Turning the TV over or just not watching, not buying magazines, not listening to the radio, that's all easy enough to do but what about other places?

It's good to see Noble Ones.
Happy their company--always.
Though not seeing fools
constantly, constantly
one would be happy.

Why doth ye realize that homosexual love and homosexual sex are two very different things?

Marriage is, ideally, and institution of love, not one of sex and babymaking (although it may include that).

Jesus sayeth unto you, love ALL men and ALL women, just as I have loved thee. Jesus loves ALL love, and NO sex (for pleasure).
