Wouldn't that glorify God to be generous in giving of your own abilities?

ok, here it is..i took this job which is great..i do hardly nothing and get paid. well, yesterday one of the ladies from our main store calls and said that they are changing some things and the dress code is one of those things. When I took the job and month ago, they told me that dress was casual and i could wear jeans, t-shirts, tennis and be comfortable. I just can't wear shorts, tank tops...etc. So, I took the job 50% because of that and 50% because of pay. Now they are saying no more jeans, t-shirts or tennis...we have to wear dresses or dress slacks. I have no dress pants...only have high heeled shoes for church...no loafers or nothing like that. And i am not going to wear dresses to work when I can't stand to wear them for 1 hour to church on sunday. Now I have to go buy more clothes and I really don't think this is fair.. We are going to have a conference call this morning and I am mad and don't know what I should say...Do you think this is right and what would you do?

Certainly poor people could benefit from the resources given to the pastor. Didn't Jesus do this. Jesus was not materialistic like many of today's people.

Church say that we were "cut off" from God thats why Jesus came to die. However God spoke directly to many other biblical figures and God' spirit rested on many prior to Jesus.

The thing is that yes man has a sinfull nature but men still hav a sinfull nature even after Jesus was crucified

I'm a non-muslim. Is fasting really helpful to our health, mind and our spirit? What we will get from abstaining from food, drink and sex from dawn until sundown? Your honest answer please.

I have heard comments from certain gay people saying that they don't like that type of activities that ruin the image of homosexuals, and these comments come from serious and professional gay people that don't like that sort of things.

What is your opinion?

Constantine was the last true Emporer of Rome, as well as the first to pass a freedom of religion act. He who squaks loudest rules the coup and so Christianity grew far faster then less agressive religion. Constantine duped the "believewhatevers" into believeing that god guided his hand in battle.
After reunifying the Empire with this brillant move he held the Council of Nicea at which most leaders of the newly found christian faith gathered to finally agree on a belief. This is not only when the day of worship was switched from saturday to sunday, but where Jesus of Nazerth went from man to Messiah. Six years later the Bible was ratifed.
Constantine was baptisied on his death bed because the Pope refused to allow the church to be founded by a pagan.
1) Did you know that your faith was a political move made 1700 years ago
2) You believe in Red Sea partings and walking on water, but why not real history.

I can prove constantine existed with physical proof. what about your belief

while christians supposedly believe there's only 1 God, yet they believe Jesus is god, the father is god, the holy spirit is god. is it that they don't really believe in 1 God, but they believe in 1 committee of gods comprising of 3 gods?. u think?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana
bananas contain tryptophan which, when ingested, increases levels of serotonin in the body (the same effect as Prozac). This can lead to various mood-altering effects (Leathwood and Pollet, 1982) including a reduction in depression (Sainio et al., 1996). As well, Xiao et al. (1998) found that eating just two bananas a day for three days increased levels of serotonin in the blood by 16%.

John Donne's vision of humanity?

No man is an island, entire of itself
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main
if a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were
any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls
it tolls for thee.

-- John Donne

It makes perfect sense to me.

My parents were on a recent trip and viewed something uncomprehendable. As they rounded a curve ready to crass a small bridge. They drove into what they explained as the most beautiful of things. A rainbow. The rainbow could be seen from both sides of the bridge. Both the start and finish. They said the colors were so vibrant that they thought they were actually being abducted by aliens. They said the top of the rainbow was a few feet above the car, and that they were completely surrounded by this color. As they drove through it in the distance was another much less vibrant one . I didn't give it much thought at the time, but within the past 2 months, both parents have been diagnosed with cancer. I am a spiritual individual, and wonder if this occurence has any meaning to what is happening in their lives. Any comments would be appreciated.
