Or was Hinduism just started from pure thought and meditation? Tell me how it is Divine and not just any philosophy made by men.

Don't expound on other aspects of Hinduism that does not directly address my question.

1 Kings (:6-8 says:

If you and your descendants ever withdraw from me... I will cut off Israel from the land I gave them and repudiate the temple I have consecrated to my honor.

In 70 a.d. the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans occurred; less than 50 years after Jesus was crucified. For nearly 20000 years the Jews have been scattered throughout the world.

THE OLD TESTAMENT IS FULL OF EXAMPLES OF THE ISRAELITES BEING OPPRESSED AND SCATTERED FOR OFFENDING GOD. DID CRUCIFYING JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS GET GOD ANGRY?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

isn't God who has the power of forgiviness, God already can forgive in the old testimony without no one getting killed or sacrificing himself. and bad people are not equal to good people.

and if people still have to repent and ask for forgiviness, then what was the point of jesus death?

I'm a waitress at a casual dining restaurant so expect my tips to usually be at least 15 to 20%. But of course that is not always the case. I treat every table as i would like to be treated. I'm not a horrible waitress because I have made very good tips before and customers tell me they love my service. Some people just DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TIP! For example, today, I got a $5 tip on a $51 tab. That's not even 10%! Then, last week, I was stiffed by a table. They left me no tip at all. I waited on them perfectly too. What some people don't understand is at most restaurants waitstaff have "tipshare" these are tips that automatically are deducted from our tips and are given to bartenders, host persons, bus boys, etc. They are taken out even if we aren't tipped. They are based on the amount of sales for the night. So if I don't get tipped by you i still owe tipshare. So basically, I have paid to wait on you!!!! I'm sorry but that doesn't pay the bills. So i want to know how much you tip!

Take heed: Many shall come in my name, to deceice, and shall deceive many. (Mt 24: 5; Mk 13:6)

False Christs and false prophets shall arise, and shew signs and wonders to seduce (Mt 7:15; 24:11; 24:24; Mk 13: 22)

Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it's no great thing if his ministers be transformed as the ministers of righteousness (2Cor 11: 14,15)

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you (Gal 3:1)

There were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you (2 Pet 2:1)

Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.(1Jn 4:1)

it seems to be that way!! whenever i have an argument with a heathen i get bashed by fellow believers.
instead of uniting they choose to separate themselves from their fellow TRUE believers.

i'm really disappointed. but i will never give up, i can NOT give up.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS I WILL FIGHT!!!
IN THE NAME OF JESUS I WILL PREVAIL!!!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!

Live life with a due sense of responsibility, not as those who do not know the meaning of life but as those who do.
Ephesian 5:15

The best way to learn more is to pass on what you already learned.
Proverbs tell us, " The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped"

Those who pass along insights get more from God.

We do Fasting in the Month of Ramadan, Because we are following Jesus (peace be upon him) example: Jesus (peace be upon him) fast for about 40 days while being tested (also in the Bible).

These verses are taken from the Holy Qur'an.

Al-Baqara (The Cow)
2:87 We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you an apostle with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!

Al-Baqara (The Cow)
2:136 Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam)."

would you rather tiptoe through life to arrive safely at death or would you rather live life to the max, do everything, make a million mistakes but go in on a hot rod, tires burning and doing donuts on the lawns of the pearly gates.

i choose the second. i know i got some explaining to do (i feel sorry for whoever is behind me in that line) but i think god would rather us live out our lives than tiptoe through it.

I've never had "visions" or anything, but there have been things I have noticed which are a bit too accurate to just be a coincidence. They also happen quite frequently. I'll give some examples.

Thinking of a particular tv episode and that night a rerun of that episode comes on, even though there were no ads for it.

Guessing correctly to the minute how long it will take to get a destination I haven't been before,

Thinking of a friend who I haven't seen in a while and suddenly I'll see them in the street without prior knowledge that they'd be there

The most unusual example of all: Once I was meant to meet a friend in the city. He was late and so I joked that he should have told the bus not to have an accident...He looked stunned and his jaw dropped and said "how did you know my bus was in an accident? That's why I was late, he clipped a car and the driver had to get details!"

Can anyone explain or help me improve this ability?

When they smile and greet you, do you smile too or do you ignore them? If you ignore them, do you also ignore them as they are serving you and as they are taking your cash and giving you correct change? Just curious.
