I read this article about people who never die. It was a science magazine, and the articles were thoroughly referenced, so I doubt its just a conspiracy theory.

When you speak to an American do you use different words so they can understand you?
eg: sidewalk instead of path, elevator instead of lift, fries instead of chips, chips instead of crisps... etc etc
I meet a lot of americans in my job, and I have to speak american or else they dont know what the hell Im talking about.

People talk about Christianity as a loving religion, but with very few exceptions, everyone on earth has people they love and who love them.

However, Christian teaching indicates that only certain people with a specific faith system are accepted into heaven and everyone else gets eternal torment.

So, when you become a Christian, do you accept that people you love will suffer for all eternity?

My understanding of how things work in this universe is that energy travels from hot to cold and then from cold to colder untill it reaches a state where it can no longer get coldest. If this is true then when will this take place and how plz quote the bible only.

Have you had it somewhen, how it was? And what does it means?

2006-11-15 23:18:05 · 4 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

or is everything else we do just trying to make up for the lack of these things? ie;
accumulating money [- to draw people to us?]
being famous [-attracting the opposite sex?]
knowledge [-controll others draw them close-by dazzling them?]
power [sexually attractive?}
being charismatic/arty/bohemian [-drawing people to you ?]

I will ask this question with all due respect and kindness. What if you are wrong to not believe in Jesus Christ? What if it is Satan’s greatest deception to make everything seem as though there is no creator, that we as people are the only “gods” to whom any recognition is owned?

As ask this in light of bible scripture, Satan beguiles men now, the same as he beguiled Eve in Eden, by exciting a desire to obtain forbidden knowledge, “Ye shall be as gods,” he declares, “knowing good and evil.”

The prince of darkness has a masterly mind, and he skillfully adapts his temptations to men of every variety of condition and culture, he works “with all deceivableness and unrighteousness” to gain control of everyone. Even bible prophesy declares that, “Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,” therefore “God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.” 2 Thess 2:10,11.

My question to ALL is then: What if you are deceived?

And then they talk and talk and talk for 3 paragraphs instead of getting to the point (hang on I need coffee) ok I'm back, and then they tell you every little detail about their opinion about the question instead of letting you, dear reader, answer. i mean, do they just like to type? Or do they really think we cant answer a straight ahead question without them filling in the cracks for us? Don't get me wrong, i like to ramble as much as the next guy, but some of these people just go on and on and on, sheesh! So, I'm not the type to overexplain my question, and i'll make this brief. Do you get annoyed when someone does this. Or is it ok? If it does bother you, will you stop doing it? I hope so. I only have one good rant in me per day. Peace :-)
