I will admit...I know that answer. It is found in scripture. I just want to see how much of a misconception, misunderstanding or non-understanding there really is.

I think that the majority of people think of it on too much of a humanistic level.

Let's see...

I am a Christian in the Pentecostal denomination and I'm not sure what is standard. I have read some people have the baby baptized in the hospital's chapel right away, while others may wait a few days. I am also going to ask my Pastor on Sunday but I wanted to ask now to see if anyone of my religion, or that knows of my religion may have an answer.

why did Abraham and Jacob marry their wive's handmaids to have children? Why didn't they be the man of the house and say NOOO? Any thoughts? I think its cause both couples were so desperate to have children, they stepped out of God's will.

I know some of you may not agree with me, but realize that i have an a$s. that means i have an opinion.

with this said, i believe that we as humans should be able to put whatever we want in and out of our bodies without anyone's authority. (with regulated use of hard drugs like heroin and meth and crack cocaine).
look at the irony of the situation. We see "Just say no" and "Stop drug use" advertisements all over the place. Well when was the last time you have seen a "Stop the violence" advertisement? They do exist, but not as many as the former.

And when you have so many ads with anti marijuana and other drugs ads going around, this prevents another group of people with a different opinion from stating thier beliefs for the most part to the public. simply throwing a person in prison wil NOT get them off of the drug and make them learn a lesson.
Guns, weapons used to kill other people are legal. But a simple drug like weed is not.

I've read most of the Bible and I've read Dante (and Milton for that matter) and I don't recall ever seeing anything in the bible corresponding to these visions. So was he accurate or at least on the right lines?
Please limit your personal views of what Heaven and Hell are like (or whether they exist at all), as these are not relevant to the question. I'm only interested in whether the Bible and the Christian religions agree or disagree with this literary classic.

If married, how long, and how often do you have relations of any kind?

I've begun writing a novel about a young woman and a young man who are to have a relationship through the correspondence of letters- letters by mail that is, NOT email. They are from different countries, so my question is, how should the letter writing begin? Not the content of the letters, I have that figured out, but how should the whole thing begin without them actually coming face to face before the letter writing starts? I have no idea how to do this..any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you. :)

I've been fiddling with mine once a day for a couple of weeks now. It still just doesn't look quite like me. There's only, like, three decent hair styles and none of them quite fit, and the only four skin colors range from "races it would be cool to be, yet I'm not" to "the walking undead".

Am I the only one with this problem?

On a scale of 1 to 10, what's the worst crime you have ever committed? Downloading a song from limewire would be a 1, egging the house of someone you don't like would be a 2 or 3, stealing a car would be about five, selling drugs around eight and use your imagination for a 10. I'd give my worst a rating of about 7. Also, state your religion; I happen to be an atheist.

Trolls: as much as you would all like to claim to be Freddy Cougar and give graphic details of your murders, please spare us your twisted humor.

Why do people think cockfighting is inhuman..i kno this law was passed years ago..but it still gets me angry everytime i think about it..It really gets me mad when i kno for a fact that all the people that voted against this culture never went to an actual cockfight. Cockfighting is not inhuman its a way of life for some people its our inheritance, its definally a inherited culture. They said that cockfighters trained there cocks to attack each other..well they were never trained to attack each other. Gamefowl have "Game Blood" in them so its there instinct to attack another cock they feel is threatening there territory..Well if cock fighting is inhuman then why is deer hunting human? what about duck hunting? fishin?? well if u slaughter ur deer then your in the same boat as a cockfigher once was, all i kno is alot of city slickers ruint alot of good honest cockfighters lives. o yea and if u say deer hunters can kill deer just to keep the population rite..well thats what cockfiters do.

I used to work retail a few years ago - and I think every shopper should be required by law to atleast experience what it's like to work as a cashier.

When I'm checking out at a store, I always get upset when I see a cashier with his/her hand held out to accept the customer's form of payment, just to see the customer throw the cash or credit card down on the counter! It's so rude. The cashier's face looks so dejected! It's really demeening to the cashier - especially when the customer throws down a bunch of coins.

Am I alone on this feeling about putting money in the cashier's hand? What do you all think?

In Luke 21:25-32 Christ tells his followers about the end of the world and his pending return from heaven and then tells them that their generation would not pass away before these things happened. That was a little over 2000 years ago. Little late now is he?
