I try to keep the sabbath and not work on Sunday. But it is ALREADY Sunday where I live and I am not finished with these cupcakes for tomorrows birthday lunch for Pastor Thorndale in the church reception hall. If Nadine knew I was up this late she tell the whole Bridge club. Should I stop and ice them in the morning or finish while I have everything out. Am I living a life of sin?

Many evangelicals deny the experience of millions and the expertise of psychologists and psychiatrists by saying that homosexuality does not exist as a personality trait, inborn experience, or as a sexual orientation.

However, the Roman Catholic bishops recently issued a statement acknowledging that people are homosexual (although they say that it remains a sin to act upon these sexual urges).

How can the evangelicals justify statements that have so many refutations in logic, experience, and scientific evidence? Doesn't denying the existence of homosexuality as an orientation make it harder to believe everything else they say?

Ok...It was hard to word the question, but anyway, I have a family friend who is from the islands. Her deal is that she assumes that ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE racist and will automatically challenge, ridicule, or belittle her for whatever reason. I initially didnt want to call her a racist (more along the lines of *racially tense*), but her comments have become a constant prejudgement. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever dealt with a person like this and if so, what would you say to someone like that.

Is it because she feels lower than whites or what??

Hitler titled his book Mein Kampf. Translated this means "my struggle". The word Jihad is also translated "struggle". Interesting, huh?

Earlier a person posted a most perfect question about judgeing. We are commanded to judge.

John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Matthew 1:16
Ye shall know them by their fruits.

Matthew 7:20
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

John 12:24
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

All these verses are telling us to judge.

I've been pondering this all week, so I decide to ask since the Micheal Richards incident. As an African-American female, I feel the word N*gga(i believe generation X has its own definition of this word) and N*gger are two different words just the same root word. Like to day, the word B*tch has four different meaning- either good and bad. So when is the N-word being taking to far when its racially accepted or culturally accepted? When you get a chance, go to dictionary.com and check both meanings

I'm just curious. If you are asking/answering on R and S because you feel a little lost or do you want to help others find their way. Right now I feel a little lost although I am always willing to help others if I can. Lately though it just seems like there is a lot of stupid questions out there. Nothing to really pique my interest and get me responding.

I dont think it has anything to do with my own choice to want those feelings they have just been there since I was young, I would never choose that lifestyle, but why was I burdened with this in my life and how do I get rid of it.

There is a lady that i met on yahoo and she has 2 young kids. I am passing through her town and asked her to join me for a meal as i pass through. She lives about 3 hours from me. Knowing babysitters aren't cheep and sometimes hard to come by last minute I invited her to bring the kids if she wants. Is that too akward or should it be ok.
