Given that Charles Edward Stuart(Bonnie Prince Charlie) was Lawfully crowned and annointed as king Charles the third of Scotland what would the legal position be? Although the Scots were willing to accept Elizabeth as Elizabeth 2 (Albeit under portest) one doubts they'd be willing to connive in the slighting of the Bonnie Prince. Perhaps Charles will revert to his foreign German roots and become yet another Goerge like the rest the Hanoverian upstarts. Long live the Stuarts, Legitimate Kings Of fair Alba

I am a 21 year old black woman and my cousin Tyrell feels like a social outcast and is getting shunned at home too. He lives in an all white community and he says he wishes he could be with a white girl. He says white girls at his school dont like him. The other day his sister walked in on him masturbating to a picture of skanky Lindsay Lohan and she told his parents and they said that he is forgetting who he is. I talked to him and he said he just loves white girls and cant help but to lust over them. He said he feels like an oreo cookie (black on the outside, white on the inside) because he masturbates to the blond and brunette cheerleaders and pretty white girls in his school. He said he does the same think as celebrities. Do you think white women are sold by the media as Greek Goddesses and is that why cousin Tyrell is warped?

Okay I grew up in Spain learning to speak Spanish German French as well as English. as a rather normal teen student in Madrid we moved to the states. only my level of education was will above what was offered in the public schools. Despite my father being born in the US. once people found out I was not I was seen as less intelligent regardless of my much better test scores...that was over twenty years ago, and it just gets worse as the years pass...so what do you think? What could Americans do to better their image to the world at large?

It's a Free Ticket!

And Tickets Are Still Available

Predestination and election can be easily understood with the following illustration: Bob Smith lives in Tyler, Texas. He has been invited to attend a banquet in Shreveport, Louisiana. The host for the banquet sent Bob a ticket for a seat on a bus scheduled to leave Tyler at 9:30 a.m. on a Wednesday and arrive in Shreveport at 12:00 noon the same day-just in time for the party.

The destination of the bus has been predetermined. As soon as Bob steps onto the bus, he becomes a participant in this predetermined trip. His ticket assures him of a seat on the bus. His destination is certain.

However, if Bob throws away his ticket before departure, or if he gets off the bus between Tyler and Shreveport, he will not arrive at the destination originally intended for him.

The same is true of the predetermined journey God has set before us. If we use the free "ticket" He has given to us, get aboard the "bus" to the Kingdom, and stay on the bus until it arrives, we will arrive at our proper destination. But if we get off the "bus" before it reaches its destination, we will not enter the Kingdom. Or, if we throw away the "ticket" before boarding, we will forfeit our "seat" on the bus and lose the privilege of participating in the predetermined journey.

The host of the banquet invited many, offering them free tickets, but many of them declined the offer. The only ones finally chosen for participation in the festivities were those who made the trip and showed up for the banquet.

Divine election is no different. God chooses those who choose Him. Many are invited, but those finally chosen for participation in the Kingdom are those who accept God's provisions for salvation. Jesus Christ is the Elect One chosen from the foundation of the world (Isaiah 42:1; 1 Peter 1:20). He is the Way into the Kingdom of God (John 14:6). When we accept Him, we are "in Christ," and become participants in His death and resurrection (Romans 6:311; 2 Corinthians 4:14). Similarly, by joining ourselves to the Elect One, becoming members of His Body, we become participants in His election.

The muslim taxi drivers in the minneapolis airport are discriminating against seeing eye dogs and anyone with a dog and also if you are carrying alchohol. They are given licenses to work at that airport so no other taxis can come there. If they are not doing their job should they be fired?? Is it ok then that I discriminate and refuse to do business with a muslim taxi driver ??

I'm a social worker and deal with gay men on a daily basis. I am really trying to understand what homosexuality stems from. I've heard people say "they're born with it," but I struggle with that. I'm a Christian and am confused about that interpretation, because I don't understand why God would create an individual to be this way when He abhors that type of behavior. I'm feeling like perhaps it's a fleshly temptation combined with some out-of-whack hormones, society's acceptance of this lifestyle, and the desire to be different. I'd really like to get some insight from other Christians as well. Let's be serious here - no silly answers, please.

Reading some of the questions relating to abortion has confused me there seems to be three views on abortion they are:-

1. It's a womans right to choose
2. It's murder and totally unacceptable
3. It's killing innocent life but ok if you are raped or in medical danger

1 and 2 are straightforward enough it's the third opinion that confuses me. If a feteus is a baby from the word go and abortion is killing this baby what difference does it make what the circumstances are?

If someone was raped carried the child to term then decided to murder the baby as it reminded her of her attacker is that ok?

You can't have it both ways, its either part of the Mother and therefore she has a right to chose whether or not to carry the baby to term OR it's a baby from the word go and killing it cannot be justified.

We went to war with the nazi's. shouldnt neo-nazis, the aryan brotherhood, and the american nazi party be sentenced for terrorism just like al queda. i know if people started an american alqueda party our government will flip. how come all these nazis arent in guantanamo bay with other terrorists? How come these people are allowed to leave county jails. Anyone affiliated with the nazi party should be charged with treason and be made an enermy of the united states.

is it because you truly believe so, or afraid to differ with the church/bible that told you so?

Does anyone agree with me that the Diana Spencer inquest should be accompanied by another, FULL , modern autopsy? After all, it is nearly 10 years since our beloved "Queen of Hearts" was taken away from us and there have been many advances in forensics in that time. I feel that this is the ONLY way we will ever , truly get to the bottom of what REALLY happened that fateful night.

We, the public have a right to ask for Diana's exhumation. She was buried with indecent haste, I feel.

On a recent night out in town,I was shocked. Have I missed something or is 18 stone of bleach white flesh, with a lorry tattoo (I think it was a peterbilt if your interested), crammed into a mini skirt and crop top( I think it was a skirt, couldn't see properly for the beer belly), considered to be a good look for this season? Bloody glad I'm not single, It's terrifying.
