I'm looking more specifically for a Haitian's girl name that when translated into English it means Hope... Like in Spanish we have Esperanza... anybody knows? Thanks in advance.

Aren't you just returning his property? His dog poops all over your lawn and he refuses to clean it up or chain his dog.

I think if we really looked after our brothers and sisters instead of killing them, they would be less likely to attack us.
As a so called Christian nation, wouldn't it be nice if we all acted a little more like Christ?
I think that's a nice thought but I'll bet there would be some 'christians' who would hate me for saying that.
God bless you all.
May peace reign.... soon

She insists that Jesus is keeping her alive. I told her Jesus wants her dead. Which one of us is right?

I have heard chapter and verse used to justify almost everything. From torture and murder, to the editing of t-shirts. A quick skim and I see the potential for arguements backing up genocide (from the story of Joshua) and the subjugation of women into property (pretty much the whole old testament). I -know- that these are not -valid- arguments, but the words are there. Are there any points of view that the bible -can't- be used to back up?

I want to know if the events, especially, the miracles of Christ, found in the four Gospels, were personnally witnessed by the authors of the books of the Bible. Stated another way, were the authors of the books of the Gospels eyewitnesses or were the authors repeating stories heard from others?

i have herd many many things, and i am currently waiting to hear back from my grndfather abou tthe freemasons. i have heard that they are nothing but a "helping hand" so to speak that they just help others in need, and help eachother. i heard things about cults and the higher up worshiping the devil. i have also heard that they do not follow any religion, as well as they are a religion. i have been told that they are based on a "secret" whatever that may be. i have heard that they have a part in major religions and other cults, such as catholics and the LDS (mormons). i also heard that their teachings are by mouth only so things can change and that they teach things condradicting to the bible. i am not bashing and not condoning. i am simply asking cause im not real sure what to believe. i do believe there are cults that claim to be religious to save their name, and there are some organizations that are not cults but everyone seems to think they are... so help me out a bit here?

While i'm not a Jehovas Witness they occasionally bring material to my home and I am polite and take it. Normally I dont read it but I did today because the title caught my eye and it was about false religions. Now one section in particular really made me wonder. Because it says: Most religions teach that the soul or spirit is some invisible part of a human that survives the death of the physical body. However, the Bible teaches a different doctrine. Ezekial 18:4 "The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected. Then it asks if my religion teaches that the soul will not die? Now I am confused because I have always assumed..not necessarily been taught...that when you die your soul goes on. Which is right? I am asking this question of those that believe in, and know the Bible.

If my job offers healthcare and I can't afford the premium, is it wrong to deny the offer and apply for welfare insurance?

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/newsdesk/archive/releases/2006/46/

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
