I'm writting a speech about how women shouldn't be ordianed. The only example of "ordination" would be Deborah. How would you explain it if someone brought that up. (remember you are not for the ordination of women.)

I have been learning Spanish in school now for about five years, and I am no where near fluent, but my Spanish class is conducted entirely in Spanish and we always have to talk in Spanish in class, and I am (for about 90% of the time) able to understand and communicate. I am nervous though because in about 5 months I am going to live in the Dominican Republic for a month with a family, and they will not speak English, and I'm really nervous that I'm not going to understand them and that they will think that I'm some stupid kid who doesn't take learning Spanish seriously (which I do). Does anyone have any tips that could help me get over my fear?

If you were sitting down to dinner with an old friend at a fairly nice place to eat and noticed the table behind you being generally rude and obnoxious, how would you react? Would you say anything? Would you react?

For example we all know how much cocaine comes in this country everyday. We all know that caucasian's are more resposible for it's distribution. How do we know this ? Because if a black person tries to drive in any vehicle anywhere he is racially profiled and searched. So who is distrbuting all this cocaine everywhere? Not blacks. Some white police choose to look the other way for some white criminals and go after black criminals with a vengeance. Of course many criminals in the black population will be imprisoned. Yet with research you will find the majority of people in prison are caucasian. Don't believe me do the research. So is it fair to say that blacks are proned to be criminals when caucasians are given a easier ride for the same crimes. Even black police officers are punished far worse than white officers who commit the same job viloations. Do the research New York City. Very Weak!!!! no worries though Karma, very real!!

I wonder if the native Americans can possibly be part of the lost tribe of Israel, because they are dark like the Jews. They have many things in common with the Jews, like being rejected by society...what do you think?

On Big Brother they all make fun of each others accents, why is it racist when they laugh at Shilpa's accent? Shilpa laughs at Jade's accent and theres nothing wrong with her doing so. If the others have been racist then kick them out of the house! they would deserve to be kicked out if they have been racist!

Every day, someone asks why non-Christians hate God and Jesus. I find it ridiculous to think that anyone would hate what they don't believe in.

The bible seems to teach that we should all be baptized, yet some say it is not necessary. What do you think?

Here are some scriptures:

"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5)

"And he said unto them (His Apostles), Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." (Mark 16:15-16)

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:38)

There are others, including the baptism of Jesus himself, but these seem to be sufficient to support the idea that baptism is a commandment.

I have heard the comment that the thief on the cross was promised paradise without baptism, but perhaps "paradise" is not the same as the kingdom of God / heaven.

I am planning our high school's annual Senior Citizen Prom. I am lost when it comes to finding activities our elders will enjoy. I can use any help I can get. The theme is "Love is in the Air" but the activities do not have to follow the theme...

Since we have a new and old testament in the bible and it has been revised a lot, I'm wondering where are the originals of the books comprising the bible and in what language are they written.

Please this is a serious question. Thank you

where in the bible can I find information about the 12 disciples and each of their reactions to the persecution and eventual death of Jesus? I know that Judas betrayed him and then killed himself and that Peter denied he knew him three times, but I don't know much about the other's and their reactions? I am trying to learm more about the bible so I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.

What makes people tick? Why do they have to have the best of the best? Is it the fashion statement? The prestige of having it before anyone else? Why do americans continually spend money on the latest fad?
