all forms of terrorism. "You're going down. You come against us with sword & shield. But I come against you in the name of My Lord God. You are going down."

Speaking directly against this mountain of terrorism. Jesus said that if we have faith of a mustard seed we could speak outloud to this mountain & it will obey. To abide in His Love & Word & ask what we will & He will give it.

I am just wondering. I recently picked up a book of poetry by Rumi, and have absolutely fallen in love with the guys work. He was a Muslim that believed in peace, and an interconnection between God and ALL things living. Or do you just watch the news and hate on the Shiites and Sunnis?

The Catholic church is the richest in the world. It even owns its own country! Why does it insist on collecting money from its poor believers? The Catholic church should be supporting its loyal followers, the poor, with gifts of gold.

What would you do if you meet someone you knew before, perhaps from the university you were together. This guy/gal is not really your close friend. Perhaps just ordinary friends, slightly closer than the relationship among acquaintance.

It has also been five years.

Would you walk up to him/her and greet him/her? Or would you just smile at him/her or would you just pretend you don't know him/her? What would you do?

I have noticed that many who do not receive the answer they expect write cutting comments to those who interpret the question differently than they intended when they wrote it.

The elephant is described differently by each blind man standing in different areas around him. Might be a tail. Might be a trunk or a side, or an ear. It is still an elepant.

Just getting tired of rude people.

If the world was destroyed by a flood why do we have intact ice caps? Ice floats in water. If the earth were covered in water the ice would have been carried off and crumbled and/or melted. These ice sheets show hundreds of thousands of yearly layers so they can`t have grown back. I know there will be answers along the lines of 'only a local area was flooded' but if god knew this to be the case, why get Noah to put two of each animal on the ark? The animals would have survived in areas not affected by the flood.

How did Noah build a boat made of wood, about the same size as the titanic? Gen 6:14,15 No wooden boat has ever even approached this size and found to be practical, in fact the closesed mankind has ever come to this size in a wooden vessel was the USS Wyoming in 1859, it was about half the size of the ark and still re-enforced with iron straps, it took on so much water due to buckling it had to hug the coast and be consantly pumped, how was the ark able to weather a storm?

Is it ok to ask a question, about the Bible, about a single verse, even if that question is asked 50 times, trying to get an answer that makes sense.

Is that such a bad thing? Do you think the Bible and its defenders would permit the person to ask the question, trying to understand.

Is that ok?

"Gothic" I have always been fascinated by the style, The people and the look! It is kinda mysterious and most of the 'GOTH" girls look pretty damn hot and sexy! The "GOTH" guys on the other hand... well I will keep that to myself.(LOOKS KINDA *** GUYS) But anyways, if there are any "GOTHS" out there give me a few answers on this and let me know what the deal is with it? I have met a few "GOTHS" in the past but never thought of to ask them what the "GOTH" culture is all about. So if anyone can give me and anyone else who is interested in "GOTH" some answers It will be pretty damn cool and interesting. Thanks for the insight. I will extend this question for 7 days.

Did you know the "church" used to say that the solar system was geocentric, and based it on the Bible.

I used to ask questions about this on yahoo answers, you know why, cause I was confused by those verses.

Someone, bless her Christian heart, said Sean, those passages are misinterpreted, the verses refer to the Earth being the center of God's universe, and not the center of the physical solar system.

Now, is it ok for me to ask questions, as I did on that topic, probably 50 times, looking for an answer that made sense.

Is it ok if I ask about the word abomination 50 times, trying to make sense of it, because its used in Lev 18:22 to talk about gay sex, and again in Lev 11:9-12 about shrimp. Is it ok if I try and understand the use of the word, why GOd thinks shrimp is as bad as gay sex?

Why does Jesus call the Canaanite woman a little dog in Matthew 15. I ask, cause heres another quote from another part of the bible, in Revelation 22:15 it says dogs don't get into heaven.


Now, I know of course that the use of the word dog in Revelation means male prostitute, and I of course know that Jesus was "testing the faith" of the woman,

Do you know how I "know" these things, and not just a plain reading of it,

cause I asked the question on yahoo answers, and a Christian gave me a good interpretation that made sense.

And from moments like that, came understanding.

Now, if I don't understand something, is it ok for me to ask about it, say why is child slavery permissible in Leviticus 25:45?

Is it ok to ask a question about the Bible as many times as it takes in as many ways for it to make sense to the questioner?

FINGER PRINTS
"Their skins will bear witness against them as to what they have been doing" (41:21)
The finger prints system at borders, criminal investigation cells and immigration centres prove the fulfillment of this Quranic prophecy.
GENETIC ENGINEERING
"They will alter Allah's creation." (4:120)
The holy Quran has prophesied the plastic surgery, genetic engineering and cloning in this short and concise sentence.
AIR TRAFFIC SYSTEM
"And by the heaven full of tracks" (51:8)
While prophesying about modern transport systems, Quran also foretold the air-traffic system which is an essential part of aviation. A person living in desert 1400 years ago cannot talk about such advance technologies unless revealed to him by God Almighty.
BOOKS PUBLISHED AND SPREAD
"And when books are spread abroad." (81:11)
The invention of printing press and publication houses and consequently spread of books every where is one of the marvellous prophecies of AL Quran made in the dark ages of ignorance

fagony = a smoker's cough
footbrawl = physical violence associated with the game of soccer
litterate - said of people who do not care about litter
catfrontaion = the cause of nightly noise when you live in a neighbourhood full of cats
polygrouch = someone who complains about everything
hicgap = the time that elapses between when hiccups go away and when you suddenly realise that they have
leximania = a compulsive desire to invent new words

I'd be grateful if you could give me some more examples of that kind of words (the ones I got are from the "Masterclass Proficiency" coursebook).

It'd be great if you could also give me the words that constitute the new one, e.g. hicgap = hiccup + gap

German words are very welcomed!

Thanx!
