I don't really read the bible, but when I do, I think that I feel really good. Why is this?

I'm a Canadian teaching a class of Japanese students and our subject is body language around the world. I read on a couple of Internet websites that the above gesture is an insult. Can you tell me if this is true? I don't want to mislead my students!

Thanks!

A muslim preacher (Imam) said that Jesus and all the other phrophets aacording to them (eg. moses, abraham, Isaac etc) were all Muslim. Its the western country that changed the bible and the whole story and claimed that Jesus was a Christian. Is this true? I need views from the Muslim's as well...

We don't know the date and time the place when jesus will come back. God could send him at this hour and at this time? It will be to late for jesus to plea our case for us.
If jesus was to come right now and say IT IS TIME. WOULD YOU SAY YES LORD I AM READY. OR WILL BE LIKE THE FOOLISH ONES WHO REFUSE TO COME TO THE GREAT FEAST AND SAY I AM TO BUSY RIGHT NOW LORD

Is it not really a sin? In fact, the Bible seems to condone polygamy through examples of God blessing polygamists and by its explicit statements regarding David.
When we read the Bible, we learn about some Prophets marrying many wives, even hundreds of wives in some cases. Let us look at some of the verses from the Old Testament:
In Exodus 21:10, a man can marry an infinite amount of women without any limits to how many he can marry.
In 2 Samuel 5:13; 1 Chronicles 3:1-9, 14:3, King David had six wives and numerous concubines.
In 1 Kings 11:3, King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.
In 2 Chronicles 11:21, King Solomon's son Rehoboam had 18 wives and 60 concubines

I know there is a city called Troy in Turkey, but did the events of Homer's Iliad ever happen? How would we ever know?

Many of us were raised Christian. Many still are, but some discover the truth and become atheist. Any ideas on what makes the difference? I think it has a lot to do with science. The more about science a person knows, the less likely they are to be Christian.

Surely believers, who have the advantage of an indwelling Holy Spirit with an "infinite mind," cannot be stumped by "finite minds" of unbelievers working within the confining limitations of reason, can they?

I like the thought of it, all I've done so far is kiss, and I'd like to do more, but when I'm around other ladies I get really nervous, and I cry. Why?? When I'm not around them, I can't wait, but then when the opportunity arises, I choke. The opportunity hasn't risen in a while, and that makes me sad too. how do you meet women? I would over the internet, but that would be too much pressure because I wouldn't know the person at all on top of that. Help!

I don't dislike Islam any more or less than any other religion. But really, does anyone actually thing that we are dumb enough to believe that Americans are coverting to Islam in droves?
Give it a rest all ready.

The Bible describes it as proof of the Holy Ghost entering a person, as a pure prayer language to God and a sign to unbelievers. I speak in tongues. What are YOUR thoughts?

the bible repeat itself with the same lesson over and over. Generation makes the same mistake over and over again they lose their faith do and wrong. Then the next generation comes and change everything so they want make the same mistake twice and go through trails...
So my question is If you had a chance to change an event in your family tree that would help you or prevent you from going through hardships would you do it?
