OK so im supposed to translate this letter aboout Mnt. Vesuvius by Pliny. Im almost done with the letter but i have a few paragraphs that i just cant completly figure out...do you know what any os the lines mean???


iubet naves parari; mihi copiam eundi facit. respondi estudere me malle. tum accipit litteras cuiusdam muliers periculo territae. navem ascendit ut non illi mulieri modo sed multis auxilium ferret. properat illuc unde alii fugiunt rectunque cursum in periculum tenet, tam solutus timore ut omina visa enotaret.

iam navibus cinis densior incindebat, iam pumices etiam nigrique lapides. c*um gubernator moneret ut retro flecteret, "fortes," inquit, "fortuna iuvat." udi ad litus venit, amicum vidit. eum territur hortatur. tum in balneum it et postea ad cenam, aut hilaris similis hilari.

Anything that yoy can provide me with helps =_

What do you plan to do about China?
Islam is illegal there and there are about 2billion people.

Its just too easy to be against "the West". Why don't you take a look behind you to "the East"?
Is it because they would flatten and annihilate you and wipe you off the planet with the mere flick of a wrist?

Some people may believe we are nothing more than this physical or biologocal body.Well I want them and others to read this completely and share their views.
Normal people(wether religious or not,believer in god or not) become happy after they do a good act, even if their action can't be justified by materialistic laws , for example sacrifising one's self for another person, or to give your kidney to someone else for free.
And they will get sad in their hearts when they do something evil , even if they make a good money(that their actions are justifyable by materialistic laws) ofcourse I am talking about 'normal' people whose heart hasn't changed dramatically.
So if we read between the lines it proves there is something more than this physical world it proves reward and consequence for our actions. >>
this is a feeling so deep in our heart(deeper than one can say because they were taught it in the school when they were child), it is deep there.
Just like we love and want the beauty , we love good acts( even if they dont make sense with materialistic laws).
you know, when something is in our heart there is a response outside, if there is the hunger inside ,there is food outside. if there is the need of love inside ,there is marriage and love outside.For every natural need or tendency or feeling that we have inside our hearts ,there is a response a satisfaction outside. the response to this feeling is that there is more than
this world, there is reward and consequenses.
Things make sense.
If we admire sombody when he get killed, trying to rescue somebody else which doesnt make sense by the physical laws,it means our hearts knows that there is more than this physical world.even if some people has become unbelievers and consciously deny it while their hearts unconsciously act in according to spritual laws.
and yes when god created us he put this in our heart.
Note that I dont say non-belivers dont do good acts,some of them do,beacause the truth is in their hearts but they consciously deny it.and sometimes they act in according to spritual laws without paying attention to it.
peace to you all
a muslim friend.

A true prophet will always prophecy the truth. Then help me understand the following

In 1897 "Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present, since October 1874," Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 4, page 621.

However I have been told my Jehovah witnesses that Jesus retuened in 1914.

"So does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of dangers and to declare things to come? These questions can be answered in the affirmative. Who is this prophet?...This "prophet" was not one man, but was a body of men and women. It was the small group of footstep followers of Jesus Christ, known at that time as International Bible Students. Today they are known as Jehovah's Christian Witnesses...Of course, it is easy to say that this group acts as a ‘prophet' of God. It is another thing to prove it." The Watchtower, 4/1/72, p. 197.

Because a real deist and atheist should be sure that hell doesn't exist
And a real agnostic should be sure that hell's existance is unknowable
So does even a slight worry about hell show that you are a doubtful theist?

Just look at the history of slavery in America. Many chose to run away. Being a slave does not mean, in your heart, that you have no choice about what you desire.

So why would freely chosing to be a slave to God be a poor analogy to what God requires of us to attain Heaven and avoid Hell?

i asked if boys and girls can be friends if the boy thinks the girl is fit. How about if the boy admitted that he would do something with the girl if she made a move?

AND....

Said 'boys are only friends with girls who are good looking because they are back ups'

He is very wise....

But can you be friends with someone when they liked each other 5 years before?

Well, when i was younger, i got a 99 on the Science subject in those tests that were provided by the state. You know, those tests with all capital letters, and a 97 in Language, and a 93 in Comprehension. Well no one really made a big deal out of it, but it bugged me.

I'm to believe in Him, worship Him, and never disobey Him, or He'll condemn me to Hell.

How does this differ from being a slave? Why does God want to be worshipped by slaves?
