I know a lot of you realize that their is a lot of question on here that are made up and more than likely by kids and young adults and older adults who like to stir things up to get people fired up and then they sit back and laugh. The type of questions these people ask are easy to spot, so why do a lot of you let it bother you. Either ignore it or have some fun with it. But some of you really get fired up over a made up question or comment. Makes me glad your not in my family, I'd be terrifyed to come out of my room.
Lighten up and laugh a little.

Its seems that it is more socially acceptable for someone (anyone) to say the word "cracker" than it is to say the word "******". Why is that? Shouldn't they both be equally derrogitory? I feel they NEITHER should be used, but I am boggled by the fact that TV/Radio never "beeps out" the word "cracker" and never fails to when the word "******" is used. To make my point YAHOO has even blanked out the word -n-i-g-g-e-r-. in my dialogue above and DID NOT blank out the word cracker. So my point has been well proven, even in just the simple act of posting this question.

Today my wife woke me up by telling me she caught me cheating she used pretty hot water and threw it on me around 5 am, and then kicked me out of the house. She threw my boots at me, and some clothes but no socks. When I was going to grab the boots she hit me in the face with my truck keys, causing a cut.

I got in the truck and it had a dead battery, so I had to get a jump from my neighbor who of course saw the whole thing. On my way to work, already late I got pulled over for speeding and got a big ticket, and almost got the truck impounded.

When i arrived at work my boss told me I was late for the last time and fired me. I got in my truck and drove to the bar, only to have the bartender tell me I owed and he wouldnt serve till i paid. I went to the liquor store and got some pepermint scnapps, and hug out by the high school drinking. Someone called the cops and I was arrested, this was last Thursday, anyone have a worse day then this?

Has anybody else watched people around you during the day and noticed that the majority of people seem very unhappy? Why is this?

My theory is that people are so used to being told what they should do and how they should think that they don't even know themselves. If you took away society and all that it tells them they wouldn't know what to do.

What do you all think?

Ok my girlfriend and I have been dating for quiet a while now, but we haven't actually gone out/ out yet. We've already make out, and well I've fingered her and I can't believe I am putting my business out...... well after long consideration I am finally ready to take the next step. I dunno how to go about it. I've got a track history. I've been with lots of guys and well girls and nothing has really meant anything until now. So how do I make it mean something and make it special for both of us. We've both been with girls. In fact she's been with more and I am scared of not measuring up. What do I do?

If you truly believed your theories of after life, why would you ever need to pray for the dead?
If they were good, they are in whatever heaven you believe in, yes?
If they were bad, surely they are languishing in some hell...
So just what on earth are you praying FOR ?
What could it possibly achieve?

Please dont take offence, I am just curious.

yes ,you can critisize it and say i dont think its true cuz of this or that but why insults?? DO you think it will make ppl convert ,when you isult their beliefs ? of course not ,on contrary they will defend it blindly .
as muslim ,i dont believe that jesus is god or son of god but its really hurt me when they insult jesus or say jokes about him or about or about any other prophet
so plz ppl let try to make the best use of this site in communication and expressing our different point of views in civilized way so all of use can gain benefit
what anyone can gain from insulting or attacking others ( as some questions in here or as in cartoon crisis ) if you dont know for some ppl religion is more important than their own childern

Jesus Christ is the best gift God could ever give.

God so loved the sinful, lost, depraved world that He gave His very best.

Can you imagine what it would be like to reject what God considers to be His greatest gift?

The purpose of God giving His gift was to save men, not condemn them.

“God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes on Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16, NIV).

Who will be saved? Only those who believe on Christ will be saved.

What about those who will not believe? The Bible tells us Christ died for men. But that does not automatically bring salvation to anyone. No person is saved unless he or she believes on Christ. To refuse God’s good gift is to be judged already.

Who is already judged? “Whoever does not believe stands condemned already because He has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son” (v. 18, NIV). Those who do not believe on Jesus Christ are already judged.

God’s purpose was not to judge the world, even though it was worthy of judgment and condemnation (Rom. 3:10-11; Isa. 53:6). Every one of us stands condemned before God’s judgment because we are guilty. We have broken His law. We have rejected the light He has given us.

Man is already condemned because of his sin. We are already under God’s wrath. The emphasis in verse 18 is on the continuing state of unbelief that results in a continuing state of condemnation for the unbeliever.

The person who refuses to believe is already under God’s wrath. Have you believed in Jesus, or have you refused to believe and are still in the category of one who stands condemned by God?

In strong contrast John 3:18 says, “He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (NASB).

There are really only two choices. Have you believed on Jesus Christ? Do you believe that you are a sinner, condemned and under the judgment of God? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God’s gift of salvation and that He died for you? Have you asked Him to be your Savior?

The only other choice is to do nothing. And if you choose to do nothing you remain under judgment. “Whoever does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” “Whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”

Let's not fail to comprehend or stress an important biblical truth that salvation is for all who believe on Christ Jesus, but condemnation and judgment is on all who do not believe on Him. The consequences of that judgment depends upon each individual's relationship with Christ Jesus (John 3:16-21; 5:24).

Who will be the judge? God has committed all judgment to Christ (5:22, 27). He goes on to speak of Christ as judging (5:30; 8:16, 26) or not judging (8:15, 16; 12:47), and of His word as judging men (12:48). His judgment is just (5:30) and it is true (8:16).

We are already under condemnation because we are sinners. Sin has ruined us. Moreover, John 3:19 tells us we are condemned because we actually prefer sin to the light of God’s righteousness in Jesus Christ. “Light” has come in the person of Jesus Christ, but men and women have turned from it. The bottom line is we really do not want what God wants for us until the Holy Spirit regenerates our heart.

What men and women do with Christ Jesus now determines what will happen when they stand before Him on judgment day.

Because sinful man would prefer spiritual darkness, if you love the light, it is only because God’s regenerating Spirit is working in your heart. You can come out of darkness into the light today if you will respond to the Holy Spirit’s illuminating power and presence. To everyone who believes on Christ, the Word of God says, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).

Salvation is BELIEVING in Jesus Christ!

Salvation is trusting or believing in, by faith, that Jesus Christ paid for your sins with His blood on the cross of Calvary.

"He that BELIEVETH on the Son hath everlasting life:. . ." John 3:36

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
We are NOT saved by WORKS!

The Bible makes it clear that OUR WORKS has nothing whatsoever to do with our salvation.

We don't receive it by our works - and we don't keep it by our works!

" NOT BY WORKS of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us,. . ." Titus 3:5

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8,9
Salvation is a FREE GIFT!

Salvation is the free gift of God. If we had to work to keep it - it would not be a free gift - and God would be a liar!

". . . the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

". . .by the righteousness of one THE FREE GIFT came upon all men unto justification of life." Romans 5:18
Salvation is a NEW BIRTH!

Salvation is not enduring or a process, but an event in time. Salvation is a NEW BIRTH. Just as your first birth happened on a certain time and day, so does the second birth.

"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a TIME accepted, and in THE DAY OF SALVATION have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted TIME; behold, now is THE DAY OF SALVATION.)" 2 Corinthians 6:2

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3

"Being BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." 1 Peter 1:23
You become a CHILD OF GOD!

Once you are born again SPIRITUALLY - you become a child of God.

"Beloved, NOW are we the SONS OF GOD, . . ." 1 John 3:2

"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, FATHER." Romans 8:15
Nothing can SEPARATE us from our Father!

Just as nothing can "negate" your physical birth, nothing can "negate" your spiritual birth.

My children will always be my children. We may have troubled times. Our fellowship may be broken, but our relationship can never be broken. They will always be my children. Nothing or nobody can change that! And once you are born again spiritually - God becomes your Father - nothing or nobody can change that! Your fellowship may be broken, but your relationship can never be broken!

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38

"My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." John 10:29
Jesus will NEVER leave us!

Jesus promised He will never leave us. Jesus could not say this if there was even a chance of losing our salvation.

". . .for he hath said, I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE, nor forsake thee." Hebrews 13:5

". . . and, lo, I am with you ALWAY, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Matthew 28:20
We already HAVE eternal life!

When the Bible speaks of possessing eternal life, it speaks in the present tense (hath, have, etc.) - SOMETHING WE ALREADY HAVE! If we had to work or endure to keep our salvation, this could not be true.

"He that believeth on the Son HATH EVERLASTING LIFE:.. ." John 3:36

"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE,. . ." 1 John 5:13

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, HATH EVERLASTING LIFE,. . ." John 5:24
