Society & Culture - 16 October 2006

I have been molested as a girl, raped as a teen, abandoned as a young woman, burried a child at full term birth as well as 4 before term, I have faced an illness that has made my life difficult and now face another medical situation that needless to say is painful and difficult, and I was once homeless. These are just a few of the experiences that have made me who I am and taught me the most.
God is His mercy has held me and taught me from these things.

Genisis1:1
In the beginning God created the Heavens and Earth.

This informs us of the existence of God.

Genisis 1:2
...And the spirit of God was hovering over the water.

This tells of the existence of the Holy Spirit

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

This tells us that Jesus is God and was With God in the beginning.

My question:
After reading this, how can you doubt the trinity?

(1) In bible lots of verses are mentioned about King Solomon. In the book of 1 Kings Chapter 4 verse 26 we are told that Solomon had 40,000 horses. 2 Chronicles Chapter 9 verse 25 states that he had 4,000 horses. Solomon had 3,300 foremen according to 1 Kings Chapter 5 verse 16 , and 3,600 according to 2 Chronicles Chapter 2 verse 2 . Actually, how many horses and foremen did Solomon have? Should I do average?

(2) Ahaziah was 22 when he came to the throne (2 Kings Chapter 8 verse 26), but,
He was 42 when he came to the throne (2 Chronicles Chapter 22 verse 2). Actually, how old was he according to Bible?

(22+42)/2 = 32?

As these are mathematical, I can't find any way to adjust them. Help?

I see a teaching that says the Body of Jesus Christ is God (deity).

If this is true then what of the temptaion factor.

Jam 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

God cannot be tempted with evil.

Heb 4:15 For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

But Jesus Christ was tempted in all points.

If God cannot be tempted, then how was the man Christ Jesus able to be tempted?

God is a spirit. The man Christ Jesus is flesh.

If the body is God (deity) then the sacrifice was pointless.

Incredible DREAM! Maybe a past life?
I am a 32 year old heterosexual male. This is a dream unlike any other I've had! The realism was INCREDIBLE! I was in a nightclub from the 30's or 40's. I was sitting at a table when I realized that I was a woman! I looked down at myself and noticed a pair of very large breasts coming out of my chest! I was wearing a VERY tight silver gown that had LOTS of cleavage! I even had long blond hair (my hair is short and dark brown)! My whole body felt weird! I looked around and there was a man wearing a tuxedo sitting next to me (I had never seen this guy in my life!).I stood up and felt the tight dress pressing against my boobs, very narrow waist, and what seemed to be a HUGE butt! As I started to walk, I noticed how difficult it was because of the high heels I was wearing, and the tightness of the dress! I also felt my now long hair brushing against my back and shoulders. I asked a waiter where the restrooms were and I had a girl's voice!
When I reached the bathroom I saw myself in a full length mirror and couldn't believe it! I was a very beautiful woman that I had never seen before (maybe in her high 20's), I had very large breasts overflowing the cleavage, and I was wearing the tight gown that hugged my whole body! I was even wearing pantyhose (I could even feel them swishing against the dress as I walked!). I had very wide hips and very full thighs; I actually felt them through the dress! I stared at my reflection and I saw every detail of my body and face (I remember it perfectly!). I had long wavy blond hair and even make up (I could even taste the glossy red lipstick!). I had long, bright red fingernails, rings on my fingers, bracelets, a small gold watch, a diamond necklace (which I've never seen before but I could describe it perfectly), and I could feel the earrings dangling from my ears! I stood in front of the mirror checking myself out for a VERY long time (what seemed to me like more that 30 minutes)! I could feel my breasts like there were MINE! This continued until a very attractive brunette girl (that I had never seen before in my life either), entered the bathroom and told me: "Is there something wrong Samantha? Victor is worried about you!" I just stood there without saying anything, thinking this was a dream because I knew who I am in real life. I was just waiting to wake up but I didn't! I wanted to continue checking myself out, but this girl (that was dressed very elegantly too!) took me back to the table. The incredible thing is the perfect detail of everything! It’s as though I was really there! As I walked beside her I could again feel the tight dress against my voluptuous body and my breasts jiggling with every step I took! As I approached the table the man in the tuxedo (who I assume was Victor) stood up and said: "Are you all right darling?" I answered in the strange female voice: "I'm fine, thanks." The other girl then whispered to me: "You don't seem like yourself Samantha". In that instant I woke up feeling very weird! It was as if I had REALLY been there! I remember every detail of the place and of the people as if I was just there a few moments ago! What does this mean? Was I in the past? Maybe a past life? Who was this blond girl? Can anyone help?

How/ why?

I know when my heart is compassionate, for whatever reason, protecting, in truth, or tested, sincere prayers for others, healing, I feel God close and he helps with great compassion, or I feel him happy, Holy spirit.

Let me explain;
I believe that suffering has merit as it shapes and forms us and others. Much as a diamond is formed by years of pressure and heat. It is made from a lump of coal into a rough diamond. Which in turn is formed into a beautiful work of art. This is what I believe this does to our souls.

My friend, who is only 24 year old, is diagnosed with rare disease that causes breathing problems. He was recently hospitalized in intensive care because he wasn't able to breathe for 4 minutes. Luckily, he is saved by doctor, but it keeps getting worse.
Doctor said he has less than 6 month to live and sent him to hospice. I can only imagine what he is feeling right now. No one, I repeat, no one deserves to go through what he is going through. He is a good person and he deserves to have fun, enjoy life, play sports, date girls at his age.
Why does life have to work like this? Actually I am angry about this. Why does God let him suffer like that? Doesn't he at least deserve to live healthy and happy like everyone else?

P.S. I am a christian and by no means I am trying to criticize God or christianity. I am just angry, depressed and wanted to vent here.

There were three guys in a bar: a doctor, lawyer, and plumber; plus the bar tender. A police man walks by just as he heard a gun shot and the bar tender yell, "Why'd you do that, Joe!" The cop walks in and arrests the plumber... How did he know it was him? (The gun was on the floor and everyone was standing looking at the shot man)

My Life


Somehow it got into my room.
I found it, and it was, naturally, trapped.
It was nothing more than a frightened animal.
Since than I raised it up.
I kept it for myself, kept it in my room,
kept it for its own good.
I named the animal, My Life.
I found food for it and fed it with my bare hands.
I let it into my bed, let it breathe in my sleep.
And the animal, in my love, my constant care,
grew up to be strong, and capable of many clever tricks.
One day, quite recently,
I was running my hand over the animal's side
and I came to understand
that it could very easily kill me.
I realized, further, that it would kill me.
This is why it exists, why I raised it.
Since then I have not known what to do.
I stopped feeding it,
only to find that its growth
has nothing to do with food.
I stopped cleaning it
and found that it cleans itself.
I stopped singing it to sleep
and found that it falls asleep faster without my song.
I don't know what to d
