it is said in the bible the whole world would see jesus when descending from heaven, on judgement day, i tend to think how true this would be? hmmn... since the world can not even see the sun at the same time or be in daylight at the same time. how would this be possible?

or maybe it would never happen?

I am extremely interested in Quakerism as I believe it fits very well with my own beliefs. (And I'm also very open to learning.) I have nothing against other religions; I just feel as though Quakerism is a very good fit for me. The only problem is that while I'm away at school, there is no place nearby that hosts meetings. I have done a lot (a ton) of reading on the beliefs and practices, I know the basics, but how should I go about becoming a Quaker if I can't actually go to meetings regularly? Is it possible?

I've also been to many different websites, so if you include a link, please add a little note saying what may be of interest on the site or what I should go to on the site.

Also, please only answer if you have something to add, not just "Not sure." If you are Quaker, if you know a Quaker, or if you've just heard/read about it, I do appreciate any sort of guidance you could provide. Thanks so much!

Why not just make only people that God knows will be 'saved' and refrain from creating the rest? That way, there's no Hell and everybody goes to Heaven! (I assume God would have had the good sense not to create Satan...) Why create people that are just gonna wind up in Hell anyway? It seems awfully pointless and wasteful!

Like I know some jewish people who get mad because others celebrate with Christmas trees. I saw on the news a while back that a rabi was going to sue an airport if they didn't take their Christmas Trees down, but he wanted a menorah to go up?
If you have a right to celebrate your holiday, don't others have a right to celebrate theirs?

Why aren't stores allowed to say Merry Christmas? If I celebrate Christmas can't I tell someone Merry Christmas? How is that harming them? I get told Happy Hanukkah and it doesn't make me mad.

Why can't people just let other celebrate their way with their sayings and what not and not get so mad at others in a time of giving and love.

If part of Eve's consequence for sin in Genesis is the pains of childbirth, did the ever Virgin Mary experience the reality of original sin, thus the actual pains of childbirth? Did she maintain her virginity in fulfillment of Isaiah's prophesy?

Is pain part of original sin?
Merry Christmas!

Why did God assign angels to record the deeds of humans? Why couldn't He have done it himself? Why did He create angels to intervene in nature at God's will? Couldn't God do the intervening Himself?

What is really so different about God creating angels, and saying that God created other lesser gods? He could have said don't worship the other gods, they are all under My command and not worthy of worship. What does it really matter whether you call them "gods" or "angels"?

I'm not trying to start a fight, by the way. I'm just trying to learn the Islamic perspective on Angels.
Christians and Jews and whoever else may answer too from the perspective of your own religion, if you'd like.

It was said that Jesus would be born from the line of David. Ive heard that Joseph was used to complete that prophesy because he was born of the line of david. But if joseph wasnt the one who impregnated mary, then jesus is not related to him. can anyone help me understand this?

It's embarrasing. Get over yourselves and let people have Christmas. Atheists and Wiccans and Green Party too.

How can you explain that some people no matter how hard they work, they can never seem to get anywhere in life, even though, they may be well educated. Is it to do with personality? Or simply, as my friend says: you have to be a ***** if you want to be rich.
Does caring for others peoples feelings ever prevented you from achieving your dreams? Or is it simply just a case of bad luck??
What do you think?

'Tis the season to be mental

Here in Blighty we just don't do Christmas like the Yanks. If we take Home Alone as a fly-on-the-wall documentary, rather than a disturbing portrayal of an abandoned child doling out extreme violence, then we can witness the American delight in decking out the house in enough lights to power most of Wales for a decade.

Just be grateful you don't live next door to this residence. Fun? Yes. Loud? Guaranteed. Vaguely terrifying? You better believe it.

Fa la la la laaaa, la la la laaaaa....

I thought it was funny! Somehow I just can't get Kevin out of my mind every Christmas, and I feel I have to put on either Home Alone or Home Alone II. I guess I must identify with the poor abandoned kid who always gets dumped on and jumps up and down on his bed and yells "When I grow up, I'm living alone!" LOL

Have a Merry Christmas!

My brother who is in his 30s will taunt his nephew whose 4, by throwing a lot of the change on the ground for nephew to pick up and give back to him. He says nephew is greedy. Then my brother will get money out le't say $10s and $20s and say which one do you want? Then brother will take a $1 and say no to my nephew and not give him anything, and put it back in his wallet. He claims nephew is greedy and unthoughtful, and my brother does this all the time without giving him a dime. What kind of behavior is this?

My brother will even eat in front of my nephew without giving him a bite or bringing him something.

So today is Day 1 of my 2 week vacation. At this time of the year, there is the obvious - shopping, wrapping, baking, family and friends things. But what else can I do to maximize my 2 weeks away from the office and return refreshed and de-stressed.
