Society & Culture - 18 October 2006

A dear friend's mother always sends me e-mail forwards. I try to look at them briefly since she took the time to send it to me. Today I received one that I thought was in poor taste (it was about the school shootings) and which I did not agree with theologically (the e-mail basically said the school shootings were a result of God not being allowed in schools.) I think God is in your heart even if prayer is not scheduled in the school day. Plus, students can always pray silently. What would you do? Just delete and move on? Respond? Ignore?

Happened to me three times this week, and twice with the same group of people. I don't care if you are selling something, or politicking, or prostelitizing its against the law... isn't it to walk in without asking permission.

In Hell? Why can't three demons gather in hell, in Jesus name, and according to the bible, Jesus promises to be there in their midst... Does this mean Demons can conjure up Jesus and drag him to hell at will?

I'm working on a musical project for a couple of holiday parties late next month and am wondering what your favorite Christmas or winter-themed songs are.

BTW, my favorite is "What Child is This"

I need to work from home. I have 19 yrs. experience as a call center representative. So, I thought doing telephone work from home would be good. I've tried WAHA and Workingsol and others but, I haven't heard from them. The only ones I see is adult telephone chats that's hiring immediately and pays well and doesn't ask for an investment. I found this on a Christian website listed under virtural jobs. I do not want to sin. Please don't call me crazy or beat up on me. Only positive feed back please.

11. O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former, nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it, to insult one's brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner", or "O wicked", etc.]. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, etc.).

12. O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting)[] . And fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful

after this verse allah call us to co- exist with ppl even from different beliefs

I know there are plenty of Young Earth Creationist's out there (earth is 6,000 years old or less). When you look at those amazing pics from the Hubble and the explanation of some huge galaxy that has been colliding with another for 300 million years or something, do you think the scientists are deluded?
Example: http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdes...

Do you think the galaxy is even as far away as they claim? (541 million light years away or so). Do you think it's closer? I'm honestly curious.
Sorry for the dup, but I didn't get one single answer before.

Does that mean then that all the true Christians converted during Jesus's time are the only ones that will get to heaven then under this claim? Why bother then??? Why did Peter then say that the promise of being saved was not just for the people standing there that he was talking to but for even their children and for those who are far away and would hear the message too? (Acts 2:38)

For instance, if someone posts the question: What's your favorite soda? If you don't drink soda, why answer? IT DOES NOT PERTAIN TO YOU! {and watch...when I post this question someone will answer saying I'm rude or some mumbo-jumbo about respecting other people's feelings ):}

Lets say some total pyscho captured you and had ever intent to torture just shy of death ever day for the rest of his life. To the point where you would endure much more torture than Jesus ever did, and you were given the option early to end your own life. Would you do it? Do you think you would go to hell for it?
