Hi there. I'm still fairly new to the Wiccan faith, and I'm just curious:
what on earth is Dragon's Blood? I go shopping for Wiccan supplies and I keep coming across Dragon's Blood items (e.g. Dragon's Blood incense, wands coated in Dragon's Blood, etc...).
So what exactly is Dragon's Blood, and what is its significance? What is it used for?

1st. Corinthians 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you , which ye have of God. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. (this is something you can be forgiven for, but I hope you wouldnt do it again). Peace

So many Christians disagree on so many things when it comes to God and the Bible. And yet a few minutes ago a question was posted, asking what the greatest commandement of your religion is. Just about all of the Christians that answered said the same thing. "To love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. And to love thy neighbor as thyself." With all the divisions out there in the world. Is this a bright light for unity?

We are throwing a shower for a mom to be who lives across the country. She cant fly home with bulky gifts. Is there a polite way to ask the guests (on the invitation) to give money or gift cards instead?

I would pray and find out what to do- a friend said they would go out and get an ice cream-but for 32 minutes-because they already asked Jesus in their heart to deliver from sins and become their friend to help them-
this person said pray and talk to Jesus and listen to his answers and then call their loved ones.
why the difference in half a minute to buy and ice cream-can we have too much time-we are not promised our next heart beat
Jesus says by me all things consist-Colossians-so your next heart beat comes from Jesus here or in heaven or hell forever gnashing teeth-some say they dont believe in it-but -we covered that-ignorance doesnt stop reality-Jesus said it- was he a lying loonitic Revelation 19-22nd chapters-describes hell and heaven by Jesus -for rejecting salvation and the word of God John 12vs48 "He that rejecteth my words, rejecteth me and will be judged by my words in the last day."
what would you do before and after the time??? its all about life?

I was curious because I've always thought it sounded bland... but maybe that's because I grew up around it. It's just that other accents always seem to have more... personality, more of a lilt to them. Irish accents are melodious & easy on the ear, and British accents seem more light and refined, Australian accents are fun and bold... How does the American accent come off, and which variation of the accent sounds the best (meaning, a southern accent, Bostonian, New Yorker, etc.) to people who aren't used to hearing an American accent all the time? Thanks :o)

Huh????"Iran will not stand idle if pressured to ignore its nuclear rights. The path of the Security Council, sanctions and illegal (imposition of) hardship is such a path in which the other side should expect a reciprocal act by ... Iran," Larijani said.
"The (Iranian) parliament has prepared a plan based on which the inspections of the International Atomic Energy Agency will be suspended in the face of the West's adventurous behavior," he added, according to the television report" (End Quote)

Q?-Why are they blaming the USA for the UN's actions, calling out the West? (See quote: "in the face of the West's adventurous behavior," he added, according to the... ) These people blame the "West" for all their bad actions! Q?- What are they threatening anyway? The whole WORLD in the UN voted unanimously for sanctions against them NOT just the "West"!!!

KEEPS ME GOING:
2 Corinthians 4:13-14
"It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence."

Luke 24:1ff (&following)
verse 1 "They went early in the morning to prepare the body of Jesus with spices to the Sepulchre."
Muslims say he never died-some say he was switched too-well wouldnt they know it????

verse 2 later after it was sealed they found the stone rolled away and an angel told them =
verse 7 "Jesus must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again."
verse 12 "Then arose Peter and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass."

the body was wrapped and sealed, yet it wasnt unwound -impossible to do without passing litterally through it!!!

peter later told to deny Jesus and these things-said NO-would u make up a lie -and tell other dont lie, then be willing to die- In foxes book of martyrs-Peter told them-i denied Jesus im not worthy crucify me upside down-so they did!

well is it just a lie?

Since the arguement in favor of Atheism is, "The belief in God isn't logical." Define logic. Isn't logic based on what you believe to be true based on your experiences? So because I have had different experiences than you, doesn't logic change? My belief in God is based on my experiences. Perhaps Atheists have had the same experiences as I have, but because their mind was not open to also have a spritual experience, they didn't. And because they didn't, or possibly didn't understand what they were feeling/experiencing, they closed themselves off a little more from having, feeling and understanding a spiritual experience the next time. So, my question is, what is logic and is it a fluid concept or is it a concrete concept?

First off Columbus discovered america. And he was white. I am so sick and tired of the natives saying this is thier land.

Yes their were natives who came here and tried to take over land, but americans won the land fair and square.

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE BEFORE THEY COVER THE FACE OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY WITH A CLOTH. SINCE CERTAIN COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW A WOMENS FACE TO BE SHOWN? AND IN AMERICA WE DO EVERYTHING ELSE TO ACCOMIDATE THESE IMMIGRANTS WANTS.
