Society & Culture - 13 January 2007

Would affirmative action be better off if it was based on class or disadvantage instead of race? In the past, black or other minority people use to be synonymous with being poor and disadvantage, but today there are affluent people of all races that exist in our society. There are also plenty of white people, who are poor and fall into a permanent underclass, who would like a chance to move up. Orphans come in all colors. I don't think there is nothing wrong with helping disadvantage people who want to help themselves, but maybe we should change the criteria from race based affirmative action to a class base one.

"Jesus Christ making heaven exclusive for Christians only."
Christians are not the only people worthy of heaven!
Why would a Messiah do such a thing?

Who did your parents (or guardian) listen to while you were growing up? Did listening to their music place a subliminal effect on your musical preference?

My Mom listened to Kenny Rogers, Rod Stewart, and Diana Ross etc...My Dad listened to anything Jazz or R'n'B related.

I'm guessing that their taste in music subliminally affected my taste in music somehow and that's not a bad thing......I adopted similar tastes; modernized within my own generation. (If that makes any sense.)

What about you?

I'm 16 years old and I'm very outgoing, I'm smart and I'm very unique. At my school i'm in advanced placement and there are mostly white kids in my classes and I'm almost always the only black person in that class and the white guys would look at me but they wouldn't talk to me or anything. I know there is nothing wrong with the way I look because many people say that I have a nice body and a beautiful face. White guys what's up? I don't mind being with a white guy, I like all types of guys.

The Quaran says "search for the Truth" Right?
So YOU should do that, true?
You say you honor Jesus Christ the Messiah. Right?
You would never disrespect or disbelieve him, true?
His words are Holy as he is sent from God.
Of course, clearly.
With all of this you find no fault, thanks be to God.
God be praised.
Wouldn't you agree that you have to know where you have been
to know where you are going?
In other words, surley it is fair, in your Love for God, Almighty, to
understand the whole picture about God, from "The Book."
(As the Holy Bible is clearly referred to " The Book" by the Quaran)
Is it not your duty to read such a book?
Jesus Christ the Messiah, that all the Prophets, prophesied about, clearly states that he is the "Light the TRUTH and the Way."

Are you SO SURE that you know what Jesus Christ the Messiah taught?
God Almighty, being Almighty, HAS preserved the Holy Bible's meaning and words. To disagree is disrespectful to God and the Prophets, true?

for example in the bible it says this: "you are peter and on this rock i will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against the church". now i look at that scripture as saying that only 1 church will be formed not many churches.....if you read 1 John 2:25 it says this: "But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know"...if people followed this idea would there be just 1 church today? as christ wanted to be? if there is an different view that people have on certain topics in the scriptures shouldnt we just leave the issue alone and let god deal with it in that persons life and not the church itself? and only be concerned about the gospel which is God sent his son Jesus to die for us and to give us Grace so we can see Jesus in heaven and have the power of grace to live better on this earth?

Spiritually discerned. Do you know what that means? We are spiritually dead, until we repent and put faith in Jesus Christ. who is supernatural and he sends his Holy Spirit to indwell in you. That is when you can understand the things of God. The bible will then make sense and you will then see there is much more out there than what we see with our eyes. The bible talks about this many times 2 Corinthians 4:4 The God of this age(Satan)has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Colossians 2:8
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and deceipt, according to the traditions of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
do you agree?

God created the sun to give us some light, he gave us the stars for us to have something nice to look at during the night, etc. A lot of the billions and billions of planets in our Universe seem like useless rocks with no life on it.

I just asked creationists HOW God created our universe. The answer was "God spoke the universe into existence". Even though that answer made me laugh beyond my ears, i also made me wonder.

Were all those useless planets caused by a God that stutters?
