I am in NY USA and I got saved by-as a Child I asked who is Jesus-and my Jewish mom said he is a liar and a deciever have nothing to do with him. Yet as life went on-I saw movies about Jesus-like Jesus of Nazareth and the Passion of Christ and new he wasnt a bad person.
I asked my mom what do I do about sin-she said ask your uncle-he said cast bread on water once a year for Yom kippur and your sins will go away. I cried in the bathroom thinkin we are the same as those that go to a priest once a week -we just go once a year-and then can do any sin as much as we desire-as life went on
I went into sin-and felt guilty-
Prophecies told me Jesus was our Jewish Messiah -Isaiah 52vs13-53vs12 written 700 bce "He will be exaulted, He will first be marred more than any man. He will lay down his life to make atonement for our sins."
then I found he spoke from heaven (Revelation1:1& 3:19&20 "Behold I love you & knock on your heart to come in and deliver from sin to be your friend&prayed

Insulting God, abusing the Prophet Muhammed (p), His divine revelation The Qur'an, quoting out of context with no understanding, mounting a smear campain against Islam and Muslims...

Keep up the great strategy... Seems to be working... ;-)

1. Discuss the claim that the tendency towards standardization
within English has usually been interrupted by tendencies
towards diversification.

2. Can English be considered as a truly global language?

3. Describe some of the ways people use English to achieve
certain goals.

4. What factors motivate an individual speaker to use different
varieties of English, or switch between English and another
language?

5. Is it possible to make a clear distinction between 'high' forms of
literary art such as poems and drama and 'popular' literary
forms such as advertisements and songs?

....do you think that such a thing as battle of the sexes is as much of a big deal, according to yourself, as it is generally perceived to be?

its just that when i hang out with and get along with a lot of males, particularly during the years when i had made more male friends than i did with female ones back at school, i've never really encountered that male vs female problem and i never went along with that belief that men see themselves as being superior to women and women being better than men. from a very young age, i was brought up to respect both genders and to accept that women and men have their own faults, as well as that no one gender is better than the other.

therefore, speaking from personal experience, the battle of the sexes thing hardly exists, yet i am also aware of the fact that gender inequality is still a issue yet to be resolved, in regards to equal pay and a father's right to see his kids, when say a marriage breaks down.

what do you guys, think?

I'm working on a short piece of fiction where I've used "aeternum vale" as farewell forever, but I'd like to say "forever" as in, no more farewells, this is forever.

I did some research online and came up with "aeternus", "perpetuo" and "aevitas". Are any of those right?

I offer him praises, sometimes. I promise I'll build loads of churches if he'll make me a millionare. Yet, this never works.

I remember hearing, "Knock and it shall be opened" and all that jazz. What's the deal?

I wouldn't be shocked if Jesus came back soon

i think jesus is comming back soon, it sounds nuts i know but i feel it. I always said as a kid when it got to the point that we couldn't even find christians doing the right thing, and living in fear of our own security everyday that it was near. this was weird to think as a kid but it hink we're almost there.

i'd seriously think about changing the way you live your life.

i know thats nuts, but i'm going to.

Source? Read the word...look at the youth, look at the way our society is changing...and then try and find the good, it's hard pressed.


Does anyone else feel this feeling i'm having, i was raised in the word my entire life, i've strayed away from drinking/sex, and maybe my calling is ministry but it's pretty intense, these feeling. i feel like i need to tell everyone i know.

1 Corinthians 10:24 "Let no one seek his own good but that of his neighbor".

My point is....would it matter what religion or faith a person had...or does that verse imply the morality and ethics that we all have within us anyways?

ok so some so called Muslims, )which i call muslim by names, because thats what they r) commited a big crime, namely 9/11 and other attrositites, why dont people who r wrongfully accusing and generalising a whole religion a beautiful religion through the actions of a select few. i have noticed that most of these comments r coming from christains( i.e, jesus loves u comments)
doesnt ur religion teach u "love" and "if someone slaps u turn to him ur other cheek" well i dont see this happening instead what im seeing is hate, and "if someone slaps u tear them to shreds". isnt this immoral, isnt this discrimination against all religious doctrines, isnt this type of discrimination the ultimate direction to annother war, and wars in general, like the crusade. we have seen many christains committing many attrosities over the years, yet u dont see us holding them against u, (ie, hitler and the 6 million jews, stalin, and the crusades, etc..) isnt it about time we forgive and forget?
well?
