I must have seen your cut paste about muslims saying Jesus is a Prophet and rejecting his teachings about a million times...yawn

Christians say Abraham, Moses, Noah were Prophets but reject their teaching, none of them preached the trinity, but rather preached the oneness of God, just like Muhammad, what say you?

My office is at ground level and has full length windows that face the sidewalk. Smokers in the building where I work (but they're not from our agency) stand out on the sidewalk to smoke because the building is smoke free. Unfortunately, they stand and lean right up against my window. Frequently I can actually hear what they are saying, am startled by their laughter, and distracted by their gesturing during conversation. How can I shoo them away without being a witch?

I recently heard a presentation given by a philosopher who stated that evil was generally something VERY cunning and in most cases more powerful than good. He stated that the reason for this is that evil is not bound by any rules or conventions and only has its "goal" in mind. Godly or "good" people are bound by a set of rules like the Ten Commandments that restricts what they can do. Evil has no such restrictions. In a fight between good and evil, the philosopher likened it to a boxing match where "good" had one hand tied behind its back.

You know - for the census? David was Joseph's grandfather with about 20 greats or more. What was the point? Why did the Romans create such a mess?

If your choice is the Bible could you include a second book. I have already read the Bible and I am looking for good reading material: Stuff that has a long lasting impact.

Thanks.

Just some scriptural reference.
"The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no
one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common. With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all. There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale, and put them at the feet of the apostles,
and they were distributed to each according to need."
-Acts 4: 32-35

I'm talking about the concept of communism. Not necessarily Marxist or Leninist communism. I'm definitely not talking about the crazy authoritarian pseudo-socialist nations that call themselves communist.

I met this guy at college, and became good friends with him real fast. I never thought of myself as gay, but I feel like I really do like him. He seems gay too, because most of my other friends (who I havent told anything to) have asked if he is gay, because he kinda looks and talks that way, and there are signs of him being gay, but he certainly hasnt admitted it yet.

I cant stop thinking about him, he's all thats on my mind, and I wouldn't mind having a relationship with him. But only one thing stopping me is, How do I know FOR SURE that he is gay/bi, and even if he is, how do I approach him about a possible relationship? I mean, we are really good friends, and I dont want any of this to hurt my friendship with him.

Please help me...

Thanks

All these internet blessings that we enjoy do not just happen; they are evidence of intelligent design. Yet some of you worship a man who lived in a bygone era. Praise be to Yahoo! This very moment you can kneel and give your heart to Yahoo! Praise be to Yahoo! from whom all blessings flow!

Am not kidding. When some folks accidentally meet ill-luck, they bemusedly smile at whoever saw them.
a person slips and falls down accidentally, they look around and smile stupidly at whoever saw them fall.
-strong wind blows and exposes a decent lady's undies, she smiles at you.
-a respected gentleman scratches a troublesome itch in his ***, he turns to you and smiles.
-you accidentally run into somebody making love to your sweetie, they are all smiles when they see you.
-a loud fart, accidentally escapes the chairperson of a committee, he smiles at all members.

Are you supposed to return the awkward smile?
It cant be out of embarassment, unless they take you to be an idiot!

Muslims believe Jesus was a Prophet, just not the son of God?
Early Christians didn't hold Jesus' divinity as dogmatic, until the Council of Nicene (technically nothing was dogmatic before that)!
And some rare Christians, like myself still don't care. (If he wasn't the son of God, something he NEVER directly states, would that make his teaching untrue and unimportant?
More over all three ABRAHAMIC religions have more similarities than differences?
SO WHY ALL THE HATRED AND VIOLENCE?
Thank God the Mormon Commandment #13 is respect the religious choice of another!
I'm not Mormon either.
Can you invision a day when all world religions will worship together. Or will we only devide them further?

"Eating birds of prey, eating shellfish, cross breeding livestock, picking up sticks on a Saturday, planting a mixture of seeds in a field, and wearing clothing that is a blend of two textiles."

Are you sure they are not listed in the Bible as sins?

I live in Australia, in Victoria, at the moment we are in a massive drought, and there are 64 bush fires all quickly merging in to one massive 100km front. It is sweltering hot today.

Do you believe that 2 Chron 7:14; and Leviticus 26 (first half), will help?

We need God's mercy and we need rain. Please pray....

In the Bible its says that Jesus said on the cross 'eloi eloi lama sabacthani' (my god, my god, why have you forsaken me).
This is Hebrew, but we all know Jesus spoke aramaic, why dont they put the saying in aramaic?

Is it because God in aramaic is Allaha, and they know this would get people thinking?
