Comparing...

John 1:33, "And I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water, He said to me, He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and abiding upon Him, this is He who baptizes in the Holy Spirit."

with Matthew 3:11, 13-14, 16, "He who comes after me...will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire. Then Jesus came...to John to be baptized by him. But John tried to prevent Him, saying, It is I who have need of being baptized by You, and You come to me? And having been baptized...He saw the Spirit of God descending...upon Him."

why are some people saying that if you are saved then you can't be possesed
when it is a well known fact that the majority of possesion cases are with those of the Christian faith ?
personally i have never heard of anyone outside Christianity being possesed
whether i believe in these possesions or not is a different matter
please tell me of anyone you believed to have been possesed ... where they Christian , not Christian ... what was happening to them etc

My pet died about 5 years ago and I miss him dearly. How could I communicate with him? How do I know if he's around? Do animals reincarnate? Do they know that their owner loves them? Do they visit? How much do they know on the other side?

One more thing did you know he used to be called Colin Lincoln!!!

Is there a reason why I can't find any books to help me learn Arabic in any local library and no-one teaching Arabic in the area when there are many sources on less spoken languages?

Please help.

Also, if you learn standard Arabic does it relate easily to other Arabic speaking countries or are there many varieties?

Thanks :)

My bf once got up on the bed and stood there with his arms spread open and started talking in another strange language. Possibly Latin. He then started swallowing the rosary around his neck. My mom had to spray holy water on him and exorcise whatever it was out of him. Another few times he would grunt like an animal behind me as we layed in bed. I would call out his name and he would say that wasn't him. He once grabbed a knife and was walking towards me like he was in a trance. He woke up out of it just in time thank God. He said to me that the Devil wanted him to kill me. I noticed that right before that happened the lights in the house all burnt out. Could it be because his ex-girl did voodoo on him like she claims or because he had used the oija board and evil spirits stayed with him? What were those spirits and what did they want? How much power do they have anyway?

How does it effect non homosexuals?

Do homosexuals force non homosexuals to engage in homosexual acts with them?

Is there a door to door homosexual movement that ruins families by knocking on the door and spreading magical gay dust that turns everyone gay?

Do people who dislike homosexuals dislike them for any other reason besides their own opinions?

Or is it becuase people who dislike homosexuals dislike them because homosexuals stold their job and made them grab their ankles and sing Maddonna songs?

I mean, really!What the f*** is the big f***ing deal?Do people that have a problem with homosexuality not have lives or what?

Personally, I didn't have a such ''very great'' time, not that it wasn't fun, but it wasn't so ''spectacular''.

1. First we cooked for ourselves. Warm and dessert.
2. Then we made snacks.
3. Then it was 0.00pm, we celebrated the new year.
4. We watched the fireworks, we were sitting on my balcony, it was freezing!
5. Then, we got all sleepy. My brother fell asleep.
6. My sister and I CARRIED the boy to the sofa.
7. Then, I don't know why, we went downstairs to say hello and happy new year to my neigbours.
8. And the ''best of all'', my neighbour's kid lost a finger or something because of holding the firework too long, we immediately ran for the telephone.
9. After that, I couldn't even think of food.
10. Last but not least, my sister and I were staying up untill 7.00 am, we just couldn't sleep.

I have been with my fiancee for a while. Recently, I have taken an interest in the panties that she wears (usually the really pretty, silky ones from victorias secret). I'm so curious to try them on as part of our bedroom activities. I'm totally straight and have no desire to be a woman or anything like that (nor do I want to go around wearing them all day long). Its just that the idea of trying on something of hers thats so intimate and forbidden really excites me. How do I approach her about it? If shes not sure about it or opposed to it, how do I get her to accept it? Please help because its something I really really want to do and share with her (hopefully without freaking her out). Thanks.

We are all supposed to live under his dads rule...excuse me if I'm being flippant about it...So why do certain groups hate other coloured people, and use the Bible as their excuse? Jesus was of a darker skin so why hate those you don't know?

Maybe I'm niave, but I was brought up to believe we were all equal.

I'm sorry if you felt used by the other question I posed!
