"Don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his moccasins."

It's not people's faults you disrespect. You disrespect their devotion to something you believe is meaningless. But imagine there is an innocent little girl who has a flower in a pot. Everyday she tends to the plant, gives it waters, makes sure the pot is clean... Now the flower is not a particularly rare or beautiful flower, but the girl has devoted herself to it. Sure to you the flower is meaningless, "a waste of time" but to the girl there is meaning as there is meaning to wherever we give it. Why question the girl for tending to her flower in a pot? Why even insult her? If your fight is with politics I suggest you put on a suit and campaign for the congressmen of your choice ~ not throw around useless insults that have no bearing on society.

Drinking camel's urine will make you healthy.

A fly in your drink is a cure.

Mohammed said, "If a housefly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease. " Vol. 4:537


How the baby's looks are determined.

Mohammed said, "As for the child, if the man's discharge precedes the woman's discharge, the child attracts the similarity of the man, and if the woman's discharge precedes the man's, then the child attracts the similarity of the woman." Vol. 5:275

I was out with a friend and she gave me a $100 bill to hold for her, because she said she was too drunk and would spend it on more drinks.

I tried to return the money (exact saem $100 bill) on Thanksgiving, but she said she didn't have any pockets and she'd get it from me at the end of the night. She forgot, and so did I.

About 2 weeks later, the $100 bill was stolen from my purse - I'm pretty sure by a guy who was in my apartment with my roommate. Either way, the money is gone. Do I still owe her $100?

'I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me'
Does Jesus give you strength when you are weak.
'but with God all things are possible'
who do I pray for for more strength for I am so weak. When I pray to Jesus does God hear my prayer? Can they give me strength to move on when I fell that I lost and it's over. Can one be not worthy?

Can any Christian cite for me the biblical reference to a place called hell, where unsaved human beings burn for all eternity? I'm know you'll be able provide such a reference. You certainly wouldn't believe in something that is totally absent from the Word of God. Thanks in advance.

I'm working on a story and I was wondering a few things about hierarchy:

When a brother of a king marries, does he still live in the palace with hsi older brother, but with his new wife? What about a Kings sister?(I assume he prolly goes with her husband somewhere else)

Who makes up the "royal court"? Not in current day now, but way back then. Did the royal court consist of relatives of the king/queen, friends, or where they the administrative workers of the queen? Did the royal court live in the palace as well?

Who is below a king? If its the Queen, who is 'below' her? What is the rank? I've heard of barons, knights, princes, dukes/duchesses, lords etc. - but where do they fit on the hierarchy ranking? Where do the cousins of the king and queen fit?

Thanks For your help!!!

I think the lyrics go like this:

When I think of my life,
As Christ does for me,
But he giveth me peace,
So the dying could be,
something something something,
something something something,
something something something,
Oh the blood of Jesus,
Oh the blood of Jesus,

Nimrod,the builder of the tower of Babel who did not like God died a violent death [Historians say} He also killed his mother to marry his mother{begining of trinity}.His followers and worshipers would cut down an evergreen tree and drag it untill all of the limbs were worn off and then would burn it on Dec 25 {the birth of Saturn} and the next day they would set up another evergreen tree and decorate it to symbloize Nimrods reincarnation. I'll tell you about Easter some other time. Do you think Pagandom has creeped into the churches toaday ? Wow!

There are some so-called Christians who hide behind their computers on here so they can bash other people and spout their personal hatred. How can you call yourself a Christian and then behave like a barbarian? Those are the ones who make a bad name for Christianity as a whole. What would their God say about that?
