from women men tv directors too are born. should not they think not to exploit ladies. if some say using ladies in commercial is demand from viewers , this not simply right. raw and untammed human demands have no ends. educate people what to demand u will see their demands will change. also some ladies are responsible too. instead of spending life in beter ways they find east to sell themselves to advertisemennts. most sorrowful role is of clergy of all religions who do not raise their voice against this woman-humiliation. men and women attration is bestowed for high purpose of peace and growth not for selling stuff on media channels; strict laws are required as laws are strict on driving on highways!! save the humanity

(thank you: you know who you are)

Why did God give man free will AND the 10 commandments? - so you can act freely BUT if you don't obey the commandments, you go to hell for eternity. It's like a teacher saying to her students "I have to leave the room for a few minutes, but I'll be outside. Do whatever you want to do but, if you break a rule, you'll be suspended"

Genesis, when translated correctly from Hebrew does not support creatio ex nihilo but instead puts forth an idea of a universe of water--that water always existed, a "primordial deep" and that God basically reorganized these waters to create the universe--there was land already below the waters and God just separated it out to create a world for humans. Considering this, do you think that the Big Bang Theory could make sense--there was a mass of something, and God divinely intervened to make it fit for life? I know the Big Bang Theory involves a mass of rock--but basically, could there be any way to make this theory work within the confines of the Creation story?

And they all suspiciously disappeared on the mountain or in a cave for a while, then came down with their holy visions and their new religion?
Was it too much sun or heat damage, or our sheepish resemblance that inspired them, or better yet may be they got a visit from superior species light years ahead of us,who abducted them tough them some basic stuff and send them back among us to help us evolve faster? or did we?

I would say Beyonce. Dont like her at all and whenever she recieves an award (which she didnt deserve) she say's I wanna thank GAWD and JESUS for this bla bla bla. Hate the way she talks and her interviews are boring. She even said so herslef on the tyra banks show. Nearly all celebs are like that right. Beyonce says no to kids before marriage yet she will have sex before marriage. Dont defend her by saying how would you know or bla bla bla bla. She struts around like a ho. Beyonce commented on the Brit/Madonna?xtina kiss saying she could never do that coz she fears GAWD. But later she realised what a moron she was and said she loved her gay fans. I heard she was going to do a movie and share a kiss with eva longoria (dnt know if its true). Even Shakira, I like her dancing and some of her clothes but she's the same. Oh and before i forget, I wanna thank GAWD for giving me this award and I hope he approves of me wearing dead animals, I'm not talking her hair btw.
No I am not jealous.

I've heard people quote Revelation 22:18 (...If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book) saying that means the Bible is closed.

I don't know if they realize that chronologically, John wrote Revelation before the gospels of Matthew and John and various epistles attributed to Paul. Should all these books be discarded? Not to mention the same 'don't add, don't take away' scripture is found in the Old Testament (Deut 4:2). Wouldn't that mean that everything after Deuteronomy is false?

So I'm curious, where does the belief come from that scripture cannon is closed?

Obviously Jesus did many things that we don't currently have recorded in the 66 books known as the bible (John 21:25). If new records were discovered, would they be rejected?

I’ve recently ended a difficult relationship, (we both love each other but he is abusive). I believe we may be karmic soul mates but I’m trying to grieve & move on...

is there any spiritually based way to ease the pain of this loss so as to improve things for us both (in this life & the next)?

I would very much like to know when or if I will find a man who I can have a healthier & hopefully permanent relationship with.
