What is a racist... ( please read the hypothetical).

A hypothetical. . What if we were all (lets just choose a color so no one gets offended)... Purple..

And the only way to point out another person to another person is our different looking eye brows. (stay with me here.... ).

would be then be picking on people for there different heights or depths of eyebrow hair.

Or for that matter.. the color of someones hair..
we already pick on Blonds with the blond jokes.

I just wonder if skin color is that much of a deal..
I for one just dont see a problem... what do you think.. ?

Would people call us rasists if we pointed out the different height shade or depth of eyebrow hair??

I need as many beautiful, sexy, funny Korean phrases to share with my girlfriend. Please write Korean, Romanized, and English. Also give me fun nicknames to use like "jzaki."

We are far apart. She's in Taiwan, and I'm in Japan. Our common tongue is actually not English, but Chinese.

Anyway, please write it like this:
사랑해 - Saranghye - I love you

Much appreciated.

Who among the Christians or believers dare say they've not been among the throngs of crowds mocking, insulting, throwing stones, at Jesus as He carried His cross to the place where He was nailed? Pls consider carefully your responses....

Believers state that Abraham lived up to a 1000 years and it is a fact that our ears and noses keep on growing until we die. I therefore conclude that Abraham must have looked like Dumbo towards the end of his life.

Estimates of the total number of Muslims in the world vary greatly:
bullet0.700 billion or more, Barnes & Noble Encyclopedia 1993
bullet0.817 billion, The Universal Almanac (1996)
bullet0.951 billion, The Cambridge Factfinder (1993)
bullet1.100 billion, The World Almanac (1997)
bullet1.200 billion, CAIR (Council on American-Islamic relations)

At a level of 1.2 billion, they represent about 22% of the world's population. They are the second largest religion in the world. Only Christianity is larger, with 33% of the world's inhabitants.

Islam is growing about 2.9% per year. This is faster than the total world population which increases about 2.3% annually. It is thus attracting a progressively larger percentage of the world's population.

Islam is growing real fast and it looks like it will prevail over all religions!
8:8 "That He might justify Truth and prove Falsehood false, distasteful though it be to those in guilt."

No this has me very confused. I live in Blyth near Newcastle and we have been calling that group of people Charver for years and years and then all of a sudden Chav came along. Does anyone know if charvers originated in the northeast and due to there emensly quick breeding manaed to populate the rest of the county very quickly or did chavs originate by themselves.

things.The Bible is about Jesus Christ. Consider the following:

Jesus Christ only lived 33 years, never went more than 30 miles from his home, never wrote a book, never was on tv, never made a cd or any multimedia source and YET

-- Jesus Christ has influenced the world more than any person;

-- Jesus Christ's existence separates history (ac or bc);

-- Jesus Christ has more books written about him than any person in history;

-- Jesus Christ is the Ruler of the largest religion in the world;

-- Jesus Christ had 11 apostles and numerous martyrs die excruciating deaths believing in the Messiah, the Son of God;

-- Jesus Christ as the promised messiah fulfilled over 300 prophesies in the Old Testament. Just fulfilling 50 makes the odds of doing so 10X135 power, an astronomical number. No human being or religious leader's existence was fortold with such clarity, never fulfilled so many prophesies about them, not even Moses, Muhammad (pbuh), Buddha, Confuscious or anyone!

The Scrolls show the Bible is accurate. The Bible is not 100% accurate but, there are some things to take into consideration before declaring the Bible an invalid source to believe in.

There are some problems with the Bible and errors. Please remember, the Old Testament was passed down by oral tradition before the technology of writing was available. Compared to the Quran which existed long after the technology for writing was invented. So, yes there are errors.

Secondly, there are different ways to interpret based upon the "literary forms" of writers. Depending whether it is in a historical context, prophetic, poetry, or some other type of literary form. I believe Jesus Christ IS THE WORD of God. The Bible is written by people inspired by God.

If you took a Bible course and discovered what SCRIPTURAL TYPOLOGY is you would be amazed. If you knew what SALVATION HISTORY was in the Bible you would understand. If you recognized DIVINE AUTHORITY you would know that there has to be

I'm reffering to exchanging gifts, going to church, sitting round the table for Christmas dinner. Nowadays it's more of a commercial festival with stores selling products earlier each year. Has anyone seen those Asda commercials. The meaning of Christmas is there but they've stuck a price tag on it.

Everyone acknowledges that God is greater than evil. Christianity is by far the largest religion in the world. THIS IS A FACT! If you don't believe it look it up and stop being ignorant by saying Islam is larger.

When the Sanhedrin were contemplating what to do with the apostles Gamaliel gave sound advice:

If what they have planned and done is of human origin, it will disappear, but if it comes from God, you cannot possibly defeat them. You could find yourselves fighting against God. (ACTS 5:38-39)

TODAY CHRISTIANITY IS THE LARGEST RELIGION IN THE WORLD. IS THIS BECAUSE OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
