They're really simple phrases. It's for a painting I'm doing. I just don't know any French.

What is the French phrase for 'fine wine' or vintage wine' or perhaps 'wine celler'? Or all three?

These will appear on the window of a cafe in my painting. Are there any other French-type cafe suggestions that might appear on a window of a French cafe?

And does anyone know how to properly translate the phrase 'Not For Sale'?

Thank you.

I was told by one christian gentleman that the day is coming when he and all the other christians will fly away with Jesus into the heavens and all the non christians would be stuck on the earth with the worst of people and satans son antichrist. I asked him if he believed this story and he swore he really was waiting for this day. What is your opinion of this rapture event that the christians believe in? If any one believes in this rapture belief could you share why you believe this amazingly unbelievable story. thank you

The Virgin Mary was 13 years old when she gave birth to her son Joshua (Jesus). That makes her 12 when she conceived. Hmmmm does that make God a paedophile ?
Mahummad was an old man when he consumated his marriage to a 9 year old little girl, seems a little young, doesn't it.
Then we have all these priests & preachers interfereing with little boys & girls.
It seems to be a trend.

Quran 9:29 "“fight (jihad) those who believe not in allah” http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/msa/quran/009.qmt.html

I have spoke to many Muslims about this genocide aya (verse) in the Quran. Some Muslims tell me "so what? why question allah". Other Muslims say "this is in wartime". Of course, you have even others who say "thats out of context" or "bad translation".

What interesting is, I have never ever met a Muslim who agreed that "any religion, which demands its followers to fight people simply because they dont yet believe, must be false". Why is that? Will any Muslims type that out in here and make me a fool or are you afraid to contradict the genocide command in the Quran?

SO SIMPLE, JUST TYPE OR COPY AND PASTE -- "I am Muslim. Of course, any civilized educated person would immediately reject any religion which commands its follower to fight or murder people simply because they dont believe. Hows that jerk. See, I made you a fool."

The believer will say this prayer for 7 years before it will come true. Why 7 years? I understand that God doesn't interfere with our free will. How come there're many ordinary people who are blessed with more than they're asking for and fall in love with each other whereas there;re also many lonely ordinary people who ask for very little and can't find love and therefore they need to pray over it -according to christian beliefs. Why're there people who're lucky enough to find their soul mates and there're healthy people who cannot even find a life partner?

Please note that: I'm excluding the sick, the disabled and those with sexual dysfunction or intimacy problems.

I mean, if you're right and all the Christians are wrong nothing happens to us. But if we are right and you are wrong.... man, will it suck for you.

I know I'm going to get a bunch of smart aleck responses, but I figure at least one of you guys has put some serious thought into this question and I'd like to hear your answer.

I'm not even a christian, but I was just listening to this fellow on hannity & colmes tell me how jesus was black. i'm sure there's a good argument for that. but, when i hear it, i ask myself this question:

Isn't one of the requirements of being the messiah of the jewish people, um, being jewish?

so, someone, explain a few of the theories ppl have reached on things they can't possibly know.

it is o.k and they use the part where Abraham lies about Sarah being his sister and not his wife. They say if the ends justifies the means it is ok. So does that mean they can tell lies to get people to join their Temple because then they would have just means?

The cheerleaders at my high school were actually pretty big nerds. Weird huh? The popular girls were more interested in drinking, drugs and sex. How about your school?

If we don't live by the laws of the old testament then how can being Gay be sin when we eat hoofed animals which is a sin according to the old testament? Didn't Jesus come and say we are saved by Grace, he didn't say only Str8's are saved by grace. I'm saved and am Gay. So why do most religious people still think being Gay is a Sin. Not being Saved is a Sin, what about a Saved Gay person that lives by Jesus's word and not the old Testament. Jesus never said being Gay is a sin.

or at least, if we women want to have them...
1-why do we wait for a guy to asks us out?
2-why do we let/expect them to pay for our things?
3-why do we wait and wait and wait for them to propose?
4-why do they HAVE to buy a ring for us?
5-why do we change our last name in return?
shouldn't all these things be obsolete?? no wonder why they still have the power!!

Jesus said to pick up your cross and follow me we are to do the works of christ for we are his body what have you done today for him?
do you feel like you can do more?
Have you told anyone of his Love for them?
Are you reaching out to lost souls to welcome them to Jesus or are you scaring them away?

People that havent experienced something may feel it doesnt exist, yet ...... I was taught to reject Jesus and the Bible -now Jesus is my best friend and savior cause i repented as he said to do and let him into my heart to save me and become my friend

now the bible is his perfect love letter to me-and I read it daily-the more times I read it the more perfect it is to me-yet others not recieving Jesus dont get it-its in a Spirit language

My beloved put his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him"? Does that mean it is Okay for Soloman to poop in his boyfriends hands.. I agree Gay sex is natural even in the animal world, but that is gross. So If God condones Gay Sex why are Most Christians Gay haters?
