Everything except truth can be proven wrong. So why believe in anything else besides the truth that is right there in front of you? Look outside and ask yourself, "How?" and you know that-- like a seed-- it was planted and from it came you and everything else you see and cannot see.

Muslims believe they are saved by deeds. and God forgives every thing.
Christians know The Blood salvation of Jesus and are saved by Faith in the Holy Father and our Lord. is this about correct?

I have always had a really small build. I eat normally (lots of fruit & veg., little meat, but I also love to bake (& eat)).

I went to a new gym today, & there were a lot of older/retired people there. This older guy came up to me & stood next to me while I was jogging, making me stop the treadmill & take off my ipod.
Then he says to me "have you been on a scale lately?"

I told him I don't own one (which is true) but my MD recently said I was fine. He then told a friend of his & she came up to me in the parking lot later & told me "you know, you look like you have an eating disorder, look at your wrist!!"

(doesn't that just prove I have a small frame? my wrist is 5")

Also, if I was 194 lbs, would they walk up to me in the gym & ask if I've been on a scale lately?

I'd like to hear from some petite girls out there! thx

As salt resolved in the ocean
I was swallowed in God's sea,
Past faith, past unbelieving,
Past doubt, past certainty.
Suddenly in my bosom
A star shone clear and bright;
All the suns of heaven
Vanished in that star's light

Happy the one who has become like us;
who has become all surrender and contenment;
Who has become the pledge of love and madness;
who has become a jewel in the sea of purity.


Come, come, whoever you are.
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that

you have built against it.”


Lord, said David, since you do not need us,
why did you create these two worlds?
Reality replied: O prisoner of time,
I was a secret treasure of kindness and generosity,
and I wished this treasure to be known,
so I created a mirror: its shining face, the heart;
its darkened back, the world;
The back would please you if you've never seen the face.
Has anyone ever produced a mirror out of mud and straw?
Yet clean away the mud and straw,
and a mirror might be revealed.
Until the juice ferments a while in the cask,
it isn't wine. If you wish your heart to be bright,
you must do a little work.
My King addressed the soul of my flesh:
You return just as you left.
Where are the traces of my gifts?
We know that alchemy transforms copper into gold.
This Sun doesn't want a crown or robe from God's grace.
He is a hat to a hundred bald men,
a covering for ten who were naked.
Jesus sat humbly on the back of a donkey, my child!
How could a zephyr ride an donkey?
Spirit, find your way, in seeking lowness like a stream.
Reason, tread the path of selflessness into eternity.
Remember God so much that you are forgotten.
Let the caller and the called disappear;
be lost in the Call.


We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee;
we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.
We are as pieces of chess engaged in victory and defeat:
our victory and defeat is from thee, O thou whose qualities are comely!
Who are we, O Thou soul of our souls,
that we should remain in being beside thee?
We and our existences are really non-existence;
thou art the absolute Being which manifests the perishable.
We all are lions, but lions on a banner:
because of the wind they are rushing onward from moment to moment.
Their onward rush is visible, and the wind is unseen:
may that which is unseen not fail from us!
Our wind whereby we are moved and our being are of thy gift;
our whole existence is from thy bringing into being.

Since you have ZERO proof to support your belief, why can't you just admit that you have FAITH. Your FAITH is placed in yourselves and other people. You trust them to have the right answers, which you really don't understand well enough to critique. So you are trusting them with your eternity. WOW!!! You guys really have a lot of FAITH.

1) is it because you were taught so from childhood ? (think hard, dont lie)

2) is it because you had a near-death/ trauma/ almost-a-miracle experiance in your life ?

3) Is it because you need SOCIAL acceptance? ((this is a serious thought, because you want your kids to be like that and/or you need others to see that you are a good person... and much more reasons))

4) Is it because you found your self feeling the most familiar feeling of being ALONE and found out the best solution is to find friendship in god (either real or not).?

5) Family Pressure (certain cultures)?

Iam a man of science,

i donot believe in spontaneous generation (conjured from thin air, supernatural). i believe in FACTS, either "abiogenesis" (evolution from pre existing abiotic, inorganic substances and/or cosmic origin {spores/ meteores/ comet tail fragments containing water as ice })

I DONOT believe that god exists. but i have a 0.0001% belief bcoz my parents INCORPORATED that god exsits into my head.

Jesus made a number of very clear statements about money and wealth in the Bible. For example:

Matthew 6:19

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:24
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Money.

The message is clear. If you want to follow Jesus, you need to "sell your possessions and give to the poor." It is a very simple message, and easy to do. Have you done it? Chances are you own a computer, pay for an Internet connection every month, live in a home or apartment, have a car, etc.
