In accepting the need for exclusive divine revelations of spiritual truth, does a believer reject the idea that self is good enough to receive personal divine revelations of spiritual truth?

Many people who say homosexuality is a sin say this because it goes against God's plan for humanity. The bible says the purpose of sex is to show love and reproduce. Homosexuality is inherently a "sin" because it produces no offspring. Well, if this is true, this also makes masturbation, anal sex, and oral sex sins, even if practiced between heterosexual partners, sins because none of these make children. If people want to say that homosexuals are sinners, they also have to say that they themselves are guilty of the same sinning. (Everybody masturbates, and if you say you don't, you're lying.)

Well, I know for a fact that all of you have eaten at least 1 hamburguer in your life. BUT, SURPRISE! That one hamburger has been mind-controlling you all this time.

Why, do you ask? Well, those sesame seeds use nano technology to send electric pulses to brain-wash you.

IS THERE ANY OTHER REASON FOR THE SESAME SEEDS TO BE ON THE HAMBUGER'S BREAD?

Conspiracy? You decide. If you think this is BS, it's probably because you had a hamburger these days and the seeds are controlling your thoughts, and I think God is responsible for this.

It was last night, and here is what it was:

So it was me and my best friend, David, we call him "DaveO," though. We were walking in New York City, but nobody was there, it was all empty. On every sign, bench, billboard, newspaper, everything said this: 6 days, 5 hours, 43 minutes," but it would change every minute. It got down to 5 days exactly, me and DaveO were still walking around, then everything turned to fire, and flashed, and NYC was back to normal, people, cabs, planes, everything. The last thing in my dream was me picking up a newspaper that said, "6 days, 5 hours, 43 minutes." Then I woke up.

I think we're in for something big, and God is going to destroy something.

What a joke! A five year old who was supposed to destroy Israel and all of the "infidels", please! It is now proven for sure, beyond a shadow of a doubt that Islam is based on nothing but lies from the pits of Hell.

I think that old guy on "The Joe Schmoe Show" said that when someone said something that hurt someone's feelings.

I know, its a generalized question but I'm talking about people who just don't learn from their mistakes or stupidity about common subjects...

If so, what are your thoughts, memories of it? I was a little kid then, and I remember my brother being in the Vietnam War.

Does that mean that Pat Robertson should be charged with attempted murder for praying for the deaths of supreme court justices?

Think about it.

I just want to thank God for all of his wonderful blessings.
For giving me hope when there was none. For loving me when I was unloveable. And for never never never giving up on me even when I gave up on him! Praise his precious name! And thank you God for all the wonderful brothers and sisters out there!

God is, well, God, I dont know everything but I would think he/she would. God knows how everything is going to turn out...so back to the beginning, why go through the whole choice thing when he could just fix it so that we do everything as he supposedly wanted in the Bible.

Could it happen? They are considered "undead" yet they are alive! They have the life-giving force within them....blood, just like everyone else! With that in mind, would they act the same or different from normal people. Use any version of a vampire you want in determing your answer. I say they can get high. They can even smoke regular cigarettes, but would they get lung cancer?

I have never referred to a black person as an African American, isn't that presumptuous, how are you supposed to know where they're ancestors are from. I don't like labels like Italian American, Asian American, Mexican American... I thinks if you want to identify your self by your history then you are living in the past. Just be a red blooded American, the other crap just seems to be divisive. Polish American Club......give me a major break.

I can not believe the cynical, rude, selfish, and name-calling responses I got. Everyone JUMPED on me becuase I said why can't you give $1 to someone other than yourselves. A reputable organization, charity, in your community, even your church.

I am so depressed right now.. Am I totally alone in this? I help others every single second I get. Why do we live in such a selfish world? People in other countries are living on less than $15 a YEAR and there are so many rich people in our country who don't give a damn. $1 could help change someones life.

There are charities where you can pay for a new school, a training center for women to get jobs, a chicken, cow, or goat to produce food and income for famlies. ( All in other countries ).

Why does NO ONE CARE ?
