I went to the mall yesterday and they have Christmas stuff up already, and have since Halloween. What's with that? I think Jesus would be disappointed in us.

You can't ask a light-hearted question on these subjects without getting at least some heavy answers. True?

We are giving a company Christmas party. There will be nine employees and their dates attending. We need you to help us decide what the best gift-giving format will be. The Chinese gift giving where you can lose your gift is NOT an option.

1. Employees draw other employees' names and ONLY buy ONE gift limited at $25 for the employee's name they draw. This way only employees buy for other employees only, and the dates do not open a gift at the party.

2. Everyone (including the employees' dates) draws a name, and buys a gift limited at $10. That way everyone gets a gift from someone to open at the party.

The person who favors #1 says that since this is a company party, only the employees should receive gifts.

The person who favors number 2 says it would be rude if not everyone opens a gift and has to watch everyone else open a gift.

I noticed that some religious denominations do the following:

1-) Donate money towards that big corporation or organization
2-) Print a bunch of pamphlets, leavelets and booklets
3-) Re-print holly books
4-) Visit people in a very methodical ORGANIZED manner like recruting
5-) Try to get more members at all cost.

I am wondering what is the plan? As many of these "donations" do not really go to help the poor. Am I the onlyone smelling something fishy?

All prophets of God insisted on Oneness of God untill Jesus was born!

Adam to Abraham and Abraham to John the Baptist all preached Oneness of God.Why!

Were they kept ignorant about Three Gods?
The Father, The begotten Son and The Holy Ghost!

Where was the Holy Ghost before Jesus christ? What was he doing? Why he did not appear before christ?

According to Torah and Bible all Jewish tribes are Sons of God.There are Sons in Tonnes!!!

Jesus never said "I am God and worship me"???

What is the divine authority with these so-called self appointed desciples to contradit the teachings of all earlier Holy Prophets?

Should we change English Dictionaries and the meaning of Son, Father and Childern!!!

Please ask the Holy Ghost to show us the Truth!!!

I deal with a chemical imbalance for which I am on medications, My 7 year old son has asperger's syndrome, my 17 year old daughter is pregnant, we are struggling with money issues, I am returning to health after almost dying 2 years ago. Yet I am firm in my belief that I am blessed beyond measure. Can you honestly say that any blessing makes all the adversity you face less severe? I do. I love this forum and so many people here are sweet, even the non believers but sometimes I hurt for some of the ones I see suffering each day and I feel like perhaps I should leave the forum as I often do not know what to say to them to make them feel better. I have a mothering complex and wish to see everyone happy, is that wrong?

Jesus had just chosen 70 disciples, and he “sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come.” When the 70 returned, they were rejoicing over the success of their mission. “Lord, even the demons are made subject to us by the use of your name,” they said. At that point, Jesus said: “I began to behold Satan already fallen like lightning from heaven.”—Luke 10:1, 17, 18.

WHAT DID JESUS MEAN WHEN HE SAID THAT HE ALREADY BEHELD SATAN FALLING LIKE LIGHTENING FROM HEAVEN?

What do you think about the following verses? Did it already happen or not? Verse 24-26 talks about Holicost doesn't it?
25 The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth. 26 Your carcasses will be food for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten them away. 27 The LORD will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured. 28 The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind. 29 At midday you will grope about like a blind man in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.

Once you have established a line of communication using someones name not just a sign of respect and politeness. ie. hi Jen or thanks Jen,
It proves you have read what they wrote properly and attributed their comments to that particular person.
Right or Wrong?

The Bible endorses homosexual behaviour and we shall provide one such example which is exemplified in the story of the relationship between Daniel and the prince of the eunuchs.

The verse is:

“Vayiten ha-Elohim et-Daniyel leKHesed u’leraKHamim lifnei sar hasarisim” (Daniel 1:9)

[i.e., “Now God had brought Daniel into favor and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs” (KJV).]

The Hebrew words, which describe the relationship between Daniel and the prince of the Eunuchs, are “KHesed” and “RaHamim”.

The first of these indeed means “goodness, kindness, faithfulness”. The word “RaHamim”, however, derives from the Semitic root R-H-M, which refers to a womb.1 The KJV’s rendering of “RaHamim” as “tender love” would therefore entail and indespensible element of physical love, or love which is manifested through physical contact.

Now, look at our two characters: The prince of the eunuchs is of course an eunuch. Daniel, in the opinion of the Jewish commentators, was also an eunuch.2 Hence an affair between them involving physical love would correctly be termed as a homosexual affair (i.e., between an eunuch and another eunuch).

Of course there is no “twisting” done to the sense or material of the verse, which are presented as they stand. Some may object that it is quite impossible for an eunuch to have any sexual contact. I would like to highlight this argument by pointing out an even more elementary matter: the deprivation of the testes or external genitals in a man or boy does not result in the change of sex of the same to a woman or girl. Hence the “tender love” between Daniel and the prince of the eunuchs would nonetheless remain a homosexual affair.

Secondly, the terms “eunuch” and “castration” are invariably spoken of male subjects; the correct corresponding term for females is “spaying”.

Thirdly, why should one entertain the possibility that the eunuch (as in Daniel’s “prince of the eunuchs”), would have to be the active sexual partner, when the common sense assigns to him the passive role?

Fourthly, it is also abundantly clear that this is not the only homosexual affair from the Bible. It is also believed that Jonathon and David too (according to the Biblical account) were more than just the “closest of friends”; they were passionate homosexual lovers.3


Hence from this brief exposition, it is inconceivable that the “word of God” would condone such a horrible and unnatural sexual act, as the Bible obviously does.

why do people get pissed off when the church wants to have some input in the functioning of the country. Its ok for church and state to blend when it is conveinient but kids can't say the pledge of allegance in school because GOD is in it. What the hell is up with that? The seperation of Church and state has nothing to do with religious freedom it has to do with religious factions running the government, so why do people get so bent out of shape over things like calling Christmas, Christmas. It is what it is. Its like saying that you can't call the American Flag the American Flag because we aren't all Americans.
