Our office is looking to decorate for all Religious and Cultural Genres. I have Christmas (tree), Feliz Navidad (?), Kwanza (7 principles) and Hanukkah (menorah, driedel)?

Am I missing anything-Any ideas on how to decorate for each one. I have a wall per holiday/culture with enough room for 6 different displays (large odd shaped room). I have to start shopping for this next week and i am at a loss on how to make it come together for as little as possible!

My public high school orchestra which is located in the United States is scheduled to perform 'Hatikvah', the national anthem of Israel, at a large, public performance in New York City. Do you feel that this is an appropriate performance piece? Consider the controversial political and religious implications of the piece and the performing group. Thanks for your feedback.

For reference, here are the lyrics to this piece:

As long as deep in the heart,
The soul of a Jew yearns,
And forward to the East
To Zion, an eye looks
Our hope will not be lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free nation in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

There is this guy who is dying of cancer, he prays that they find a cure. He dies and goes to heavan and when there he asks God "Why did you not send someone to find a cure?"
He replied," I did but you aborted them."
I asked this question before but it is too important to just ask once.

There's this absolutely ridiculous argument flying around everywhere that CHRISTmas is a pagan holiday. In what way do you think that the church deciding to celebrate Christ's birth on a previously established holiday make it a pagan holiday? Yes pagans use to celebrate a holiday on this day. When a bunch of these people converted to Christianity, they decided to celebrate Christ's birthday on a day they use to celebrate on anyways. Could this be a symbolic way they decided to show they are transformed by Christ? Who knows? But what I do know is that Christmas has pagan roots no more than my birthday has independence day roots.

As Christmas *is* a holiday, would you not consider it to be included in the greeting "Happy Holidays"?

(Once again, my previous question has been removed, but your opinions were of great value so I am giving you the chance to respond again -- or for the first time.)

Thank you!

Cain's wife?
The "others" that Cain's mark protects him against?
Moses' Father in Law's changing name from one verse to the next?
4-legged grasshoppers?

Seriously, if it's the word ofGod, you think'd it be innerrant, eh?

But, it obviously isn't.
so, how DO you Christians explain it away?

If the OT/Talmud was written over 2,000 years ago in ancient hebrew that modern hebrew can not completely translate. and the NT was written in Greek 1900 years ago and no original copies exist, why should I believe the english translation of the bible where the word homosexual is used?Since neither language had a word for homosexuals and and the first known appearance of the term homosexual in print is found in an anonymous 1869 German pamphlet.The word homosexual is used in 1cor. 6:9 as translation for moichoi which has no direct definition but is in the family of these words:
moi, the simpler form of emoi - I, me, mine, my.
moichalis, a prolonged form of the feminine of moicoV moichos; an adulteress adulteressmoichao, from moicoV moichos; to commit adultery:commit adultery.
moicheia, from moiceuw - moicheuo; adultery:adultery.
moicheuo, from moicoV - moichos to commit adultery:commit adulter moichos, perhaps a primary word; a (male) paramour; figurative, apostate: adulterer

I know this guy and he calls me his "Sancha" jokingly..which I don't find funny....and I know that it means "mistress" or "woman on the side" in English. Well, he also told another guy who only speaks Spanish that I was his "amamante??? (SP?)" or something..I didn't know what it meant and they just laughed. I know it began with an "A" and I am guessing it meant something closely related to "Sancha." I know amor is love and te-would be referring to "you" soo....does anyone have any idea what he was calling me?? THANKS!

What can we do to get Him to accept us? Do you think that abstaining from sins (if that were possible) would be enough? What if we spend our time that He gave us helping people? Or if we spend money that He gave us giving to the poor or the Church that must be worth some points, right?

This has always intrigued me. I live on the Canadian border, (States Side) were the drinking age is 19. Why is everyone in the U.S. so hung up on the minimum age of 21 to drink in the U.S?

Instead of giving my family gifts for christmas that they probably won't even like, I thought about giving gifts to families who don't even have enough money to buy necesities much less gifts for their family. Does anyone know of a legit. charity that does that sort of thing, not like toys for tots- I would like to give to a family, not just one child.
