Psalm 137:8-9

8. O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us.
9. O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!

I find it to be absolutely ridiculous that the bible feeds us all kinds of lies and contradictions about "love your enemy", and yet, we see mass slaughter of suckling infants and innocent boys, girls, unarmed men, women (old and young), and innocent domestic farm animals by the tens of thousands! It is clear that the inconsistent man-altered, man-corrupted and morally corrupt bible is nothing but a false book, and can not be a Divine and Perfect Holy Book!

Any comments??

Okay, I need help with the proper way of saying these words. The dumbed-down phonetics (the dotted marks and backwards e's of the dictionary are not much help) makes it easier for me:

Sherbert (as in the fruity ice cream). Is it "sh-ur-burt" or "sh-er-bay" or... [insert your/correct phonetic way of saying it]

Bologna (the lunch meat). Why do some say "ba-lone-ee?" Is it "bo-log-na" or "bo-low-na" or... [insert your/correct phonetic way of saying it]

Lawyer (as in, the person with a law degree). Is it "loy-yer" or "lah-yer" or... [insert your/correct phonetic way of saying it]

Chipotle (the pepper). Is it "chip-pot-ul" or "chip-oat-lay" or... [insert your/correct phonetic way of saying it]

And the word fire. Is it one syllable or two? ("fih-er" "fyur")

Thanks to your help!

Does any one know or have information on what is a Keephas or a Ducheephath.

These are the strange creatures witnessed by Anah In the book of Jasher.

The book of Jasher is mentioned only twice in the bible. There are two lines that remotely mention it and these can be found in Joshua chapter 10 Line 13, and the second book of Samuel chapter one line 18. These lines read as follows:

Joshua: Chapter 10; Line 13: “Is it not written in the book of Jasher?”

Second book of Samuel: Chapter 1: Line 18: “Behold it is written in the Book of Jasher.”

The answer may fall into the realms of earths ancient history, such as Sumeria, Zacharia Stitchin , Planet X, Aliens and UFO's, anunaki, heaven, the gods, Egypt, Jason Martell, etc...

everyone has a master...no exception...think about it, what or who controls you the most...true freedom means you have a choice to do something or not...if you don't have a choice you are a slave...freedom comes only from One...and He never forces Himself upon you...if you do not want Him around He will keep distance from you...yet He is faithful to those who call on Him with sincerity...choose your master...then choose what life you want...

Can he change his mind? I mean, he has made all these predicitions or revelations about what will happen (despite human free will), but what if he changes his mind? And, if he/she/it could change his/her mind, why would he/she?

Many thanks for everyone's answers to my last question. I'd now like to ask what you think it is that sets Islam apart from the other religions? My own personal opinion is that there is something special about it, somehow closer to God, but I don't know how to put the feelings in to words. Does anyone else feel the same? Thanks!

Taken from a line of a Saigon song, "men pay a lot for virgin ***." As for want of a marriage partner, I think, it is but hypocrisy and not fair if a man should want to marry only a virgin wife if he, himself, is impure or also not a virgin. The same is true for the woman who demands the same. What do you think?

How can you "cast your cares on God"? I've been bogged down with money issues and every time I ask God to take this burden away from me, I have always been keeping it. Any suggestions?

I just found out that I'm a Leo (LION) because I was born on August 1st 1991 (08/1/91) and the first 3 letters in my name make SUN and the SUN is the LEO sign. Also my culture is Tongan and Tonga is said to be the only Country in the world to see each day first sense it's located in the South Pacific right there in the INTERNATIONAL DATLINE, now does that make me unique or special???

It's just weird because Tonga sees the sunrise before any other country in the world.....and I am damn proud to be a Leo, do any of you guys have anything intersting stories like mines that is related to your Sign???
