Society & Culture - 1 November 2006

If you could choose which time period and which part of the world (or nation) you could have been born into (or will be born into), when and where would it be?

Would it be in an Iroquois tribe back 3,000 years ago?
Medieval Europe?
The Renaissance?
Japan 300 years ago?
Or maybe the distant future in some space colony?
etc....

When and where would it be?

We're studying Christianity. This particular class is very interested in the origin of the Bible. Who initially collected the records? Who was the first to publish the Bible? I'm not very computer savvy, so I wasn't sure where to start looking first. The students are also very curious about Moses, the parting of the Red Sea, the Stone Tablets and I'm looking for the most simplistic way to explain these beliefs. Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to write a report on the life of Jesus and I came across this information that Jesus claimed to be God, and that broke the Jewish law. Did Jesus claim that, and is that ok with God that he did that?

Everything is one, and every action you take is a simple choice between fear or love.

Because we are all a part of a single consciousness, (or a cancer on the planet, if you like to think of it that way) if your choice is fear (hate/harm is born from fear), then you will only hurt yourself.

I need to get out more...

It says the Medes and Persians will form an aliiance with Libya
and Ethiopia. Iran is the old Persia. Medes, Iraq?
Look for them to try and disrupt the world economy by blocking the Suez Canal.
World War 3!!!!!!!!!!
I recently heard a prophesy that seems to talk about Ethiopia getting clobbered over this! And Daniel says a King of Persia
will start some stuff, and the ships of Chittim will come.
The U.S. is the Chittim. (chittimwood, [dictionary], type of
American wood).

I HAVE SPOKEN!

Christians claim all other Gods are myths and false. How would they know? They are judging as such the same way an atheist judges all gods aren't they? So why is their god the exception? Because they were raised to believe in such beliefs, would you agree? Or can any Christian actually prove the other gods don't exist.

Personally as a non-Christian I find this to be very suspect you can read the article for yourself, but as you know what they say if its too good to be true then it probably is.

I went to a festival down south recently and was appalled by all the pregnant women smoking and drinking. What the heck is wrong with people? Does anyone else want to chew them out? I sure do. But contrary to my feelings I keep my mouth shut.

with so many religions out there, i just cant help to think of how hard it is to choose the ONE that will give people salvation...will god really only accept those in one certain religion? why? each one in each religion believes that theirs is the one, how can one even know that for sure? and..what if ur christian(protestant) or catholic...the only difference is that they dont praise virgin mary..will that cause them to go to hell?.......
.......................what about those people that are good, they do good deeds...yet they don't practice any religion....will they go to hell?.............

...........................................is there any way to know?????.........................what can one do if one wants to strengthen spiritually but does not know what religion to choose................
