and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

Consider the following passages from Revelation 12:

1 A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.

2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.

5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.

17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring—those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

QUESTIONS:

Who is the woman?

Who is her son?

Why does she have a crown?

Who are her "offspring" ?

Since I have been on this site, I have heard many scriptures quoted, and for the most part they read like poetry. It know where
at all states that christians are the salt of the earth, or that muslims for example must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. In fact I see no religion stated, but the word man, which applies to everyone(us)
DO YOU THINK THAT THE BIBLE HAS MANY METAPHORICAL MEANINGS TRUE TO EACH AUTHOR(THE PROPHETS) AND ALSO THOSE WHO READ IT, AND FOLLOW IT?

MissVicki mentioned 'em in a question...I'm honestly only familiar with them through seeing knitting patterns for them. What traditions use them? Do they have a specific purpose?

We are now a multicultural Country. Would you agree to get rid of the so called Bank Holidays (that celebrate nothing - just a day off work) and replace them with festive days for the main Muslim, Hindu and Sikh feasts, as we already do for Christmas?

" XXX desire you & think about you a lot is to take a bath at the new moon, surrounded by white candles & place a few drops of rose oil in the bath (not too much, it is strong, 3 drops are usually enough). Ask your deitity to bath you in desire & the love of your true one, with your beauty growing as the moon"

King James hired Constentine to remake the bible the way he wanted to hear it and they destroyed every other bible that he didn't like. It's true, research it....

plans for Halloween?

2006-10-20 04:07:50 · 8 answers · asked by Anonymous in Halloween

3 weeks ago we picked up our son from preschool and his jacket was missing -- the teachers didn't have any idea that it was even gone. We were given explanations that he probably left it on the playground, and questioned if we were sure he had brought one. It was 50˚ that day! We repeatedly asked about it, something we were not going to let slip by, but it seemed to have disappeared and looked as though we were not going to get it back.

Today I saw another child wearing it when I dropped my son off. What should I do? If another parent made a mistake then that's one thing, but c'mon -- you KNOW what clothes are your child's and what clothes aren't. As a responsible adult wouldn't you notice that it didn't belong to you and return it to the teachers?

My question is this: Is it appropriate for me to take it back?

Samhain (Halloween) is pagans favorite time of year. How do you think Pagan traditions differ from Halloween traditions? Is there a diffrence, if so how?

Besided Christmas, Halloween is my favorite time of year. At Christmas we open our doors and homes to family and freinds. Halloween is the only time of the year that we open our doors to strangers. Do you decorate, do you wear a costume? Do you have a Halloween Party? Do you make special foods?

Or...does anyone believe in the past life phenomena, at all? If you really believe you lived a past life, what was it and how did you discover this??

As I understand from the answers to my last post.
For you casting spells is similar to prayer. Do you consider the use of objects similar to using a rosary, incence, prayer shawl or candle?

Otherwise, our world will fill up with holy books that we cannot recycle and we will have to store them in hollowed out skyscrapers or something, or even in facilites underground where they can decay untouched in dignity...we can't burn them, we can't put them under at sea. What can we do with them without upsetting all the holy men?
