Hello.

I've heard from some people that Serbs come from Asia. Is this true?

"He is a heretic who does not believe what the Roman Hierarchy teaches. --A heretic merits the pains of fire. --By the Gospel, the canons, civil law, and custom."--148, 169

Does this mean that who ever does not agree with your teachings is a heretic and must die?

I don't believe in the Rapture, but I was curious about who the first believers in the Rapture theory were.

I know the people preaching about the Rapture started in the late 1800's and early 1900's, but does anyone know their names?

And please, don't give me any Bible verses, I've heard them all.

I'm not looking for proof, as I do not believe it.

What I'm looking for is the NAMES of the first protestant pastors who started preaching about the Rapture.

So does anyone know the names of the first major preachers of the Rapture theory?

If this had been done to your ethnic group, over & over again, how genuine would that apology be?

In this society & the media, it appears that people can say whatever they want, as long as they apologize, & do it quickly. This behavior is predominant in Politics, Hollywood, Sports, etc.,

African-Americans do it, Jews do it, Hispanics do it, everyone does it, so how can this be categorized as 'Hate Speech"?

I hate turkey on Thanksgiving, I know it sounds un-American. But I just can't stand it. How about you?

The funniest and saddest ones. Similar to realizing we love people only when they're gone, or trying to find fulfilment where it cannot be found, or white people tanning themselves while Filipinos use skin whitening products both in the search for beauty...

I want to hear about your bad cooking day... on your thankful Thanksgiving day.

I slaved all day a few years ago cooking for my family. When I was done, I pulled my 18 lb turkey out of the oven and left it in the pan on the oven door because my doorbell rang. When I returned I found my Basenji (barkless African dog) eating my families turkey. I was vivid

The way I see it God has been my only father. I have loved no one more. I think that so many truths are reavealed to me in so many ways and when I feel it is right to do so, I share them. However, I am nowhere near as knowledgeable as so many others when it comes to scripture. I have attempted to read the Bible but honestly, it's a little difficult to comprehend at times. Is it wrong of me to want or need someone else to help me with this? Why? Is that something that is also written in the Bible?

Ethiopia has made preparations for a conflict with the Islamists who control much of southern Somalia, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has told MPs. -
I find this report by BBC is senseless and based on narrow minded vision - is there anything in Islam itself as "Islamist" or is this how Western Media paint Islam bad colours?
I need your opinion - I am an African but also I see how my fellow Africans prepare to fight each other instead of fighting poverty (hunger) and ignorance in Africa. Somalia already is a weak country, there's no stability military or politically, what is Ethiopia trying to prove...fighting Muslims so they can get small change ($+£)from US and their allies? We are tired of WAR, We are tired of these African leaders who are selling us day and night for a small price. Let be me no room for "killings" - Lets not get tired of negotiation.PEACE IN AFRICA.

If you do......you're sad

Allow me to put things in perspective: Someone's cancer going into remission is no miracle, but we can talk when disease suddenly disappears from the face of the earth overnight without help from medical science. Food getting through to a hungry village: human perseverance. Starvation vanishing from earth without a reason overnight: Miracle. One more time: A child is born - science; The spontaneous end of birth defects - Miracle. Got it?
