I've seen some churches that are built as though they are mansions, and they are right next to poor neighborhoods, where people basically live in shacks. I've seen others that are so huge that the ulities alone could feed a thousand small families. Am I missing something here?

Anyone seen the bit in Borat where he goes into the church and pretends to have a fit (I don't know the technical term but they do it at my mums church quite often)? Anyways, did you find it funny, in very poor taste, or both. Just asking opinions, try and give a reason why.

I am trying to find a good Latin translator online but have been unsuccessful. I would like to confirm the translation of the following - "Non Omnis Moriar" which I believe means "Not all of me will die". Ideally, I would like to have the expression "Not all of me will die" in Aramaic (with text characters) but Latin would do.
The reason behind this request is my Mom is dieing from terminal cancer and I wanted to get a tattoo to remember her by. She always used to say that as long as I live, a piece of her lives on to; that no matter what happens, not all of her will die someday. It was years before I understood that and now, with current events, it has taken on a whole new meaning.

That is from a Christian perspective?

I don't know of anyone else that's attended regularly. I know NancyB posted a similar question, but I would love to hear more from regular attendees about what the events were like this summer. I will be going to the December events next week and wanted to catch up on past ones. Thanks!!!

Why do so many rappers have homophobic lyrics in their songs? Is it because many of these men are closet homosexuals?

Why do you believe on faith only, and make your decision based on one source, which is the Bible? To me, it's sort of like making a major purchase or investment. I certainly wouldn't buy a house without making sure I knew it from the inside and out, and if It had a shaky foundation I wouldn't buy it, nor would I invest in a market without getting several opinions from different sources. Why is something as important as your soul any different?

Some people seem to believe that taking the long road to success builds character and gives you the appreciation for the hard earned fruits of your efforts. Others yearn immidiate gratification and overnight success, it has been said that getting success quickly can be the downfall to the people who are unprepaired for it. What would you chose?

Why do you bother me with your religion...?

Why? I don't care to hear it, why do you insist? Do you think I am going to change my mind after you pester me non-stop?

I honestly respect all your beliefs, but YOU have to respect that I do not want to hear it.
Explain yourselves.

Muslims, I've heard that another prophet is coming that is the "Messiah"-type prophet & that he will reign for seven years. Is this something that is expected in Islamic teaching?

It's called: On a Starry Night
Here's some of the lyrics.

It was on a starry night that the hills were bright
Earthings sleeping, sleeping calm and still
(Can't remember the rest of this verses)

For a boy was born
king of all the world
And all the angels sang for him
the bells of heaven rang for him
for a boy was born
king of all the world

I think there are two or three or four verses. Again I can't remember.

I've got three other questions: How well known is this carol? Would I able to buy it on CD? Could you list the CDs that it is on?

I live in Germany, and I notice that a lot of Europeans (mostly teenagers) try to copy American fads like clothes styles and music right off of MTV. But then if you try to talk to them, they will tell you that they hate Americans, all while standing in line in a Burger King or McDonald's? Why copy us if we're so bad?

The plus-sized ones are still a bit to tiny too. And, what is up with all the cleavage that is showing, because I know I have yet to find a combo I am truly "comfortable" with. I want a chubby avatar with t-shirt, plain jeans, no hipsters, or highwaters, low to the ground cuff, and tennis shoes. Like I would wear.

Like, if you never leave your small town for example, and only read a couple books, and have a group of family and friends that believe the exact way as yourself, will you just be that person?

Is the only way to gather and become more of yourself to face consequences or confrontations?

Do you still believe that black people are inferior because they did not side with Jesus when Elohim had a council to determine if Jesus or Lucifer would go down to redeem man? If not, when did that view change?
