I'm quite curious. Does it symbolize something?

I was having a conversation with someone today and we was talking about people from the West Indies, When Jamaica came up, she was saying that she wanted to go to Jamaica but she didnt want to go to the tourist part, she wanted to go party where Beenie Man and the rest of the reggae artist be, but she was scared because she didnt want to get beaten up, then she said she is intimidated by Jamaicans when she sees them, especially Jamaican females. Who else feels this way?

I'm becoming a teacher in a city with a high Latino population so it would be beneficial for me to learn some Spanish. I drive a half hour to work everyday so I was considering getting an audio cd. I don't have time to study Spanish in my spare time but in the car would be great. I was wondering if anyone knows if those audiotapes really work? The one I'm looking at is 50 dollars and I'm really hesistant to spend the money!

Aren't I entitled to ask who people worship?
I'm sorry, if not, who did I offend?

Surprisingly (and ironically), I did not have an answer to this question. Help me out here.

My friend Tereshawn told me that her nephew told her that her was gay. That was all fine and good to me because I said to myself he was finding out who he was.

Thing is her nephew is 8.

This is the rub. I knew when I was 9, so it is possible that you could know at that early of an age, but what do you think she should do? I've never been faced with this before, that's why it caught me off guard.

Hi,

I'm looking into getting my first (and probably only) tattoo. I'd like the words "Endure", or perhaps "One must endure" to be inscribed somewhere in it -- as in, to withstand and survive life, or in the latter, like Hemingway's motto: "First, one must endure to survive."

I'd like those words to be in Latin, though. I obviously don't know any Latin, but the tattoo is important to me and if I'm getting something permanent written on my skin I'd like it to be correct. I've been told the following would be best:

Obdura for "Endure"
Oportet obdurare for "One must endure"
Patiendum Est for "One must endure"

Which of the above are correct? Which would you advise? Any other options..?

Thank you!

I know Luke 1:37 states with God nothing is impossible. Are there others? Also what scriptures speak of God's protection? Thanks.

An eccentric scientist builds a time machine and offers an open challenge. You must live for one year in Plague ravaged Europe back in the 1300's. The identitiy of the black plague has just been discovered and you will be given an innoculation so that you cannot catch it. But you must live in that age amongst all the death and all of the suffering ( Close to two thirds of Europe died in the plague and the bodies were piled up on the roads and in the feilds by the thousands.) You will be without all of the modern conveniences you know for a year. You may not take back anything with you that would not have existed in that era. (oh and hey, don't ruin my hypothetical, i know that there would be language issues even in England, but put that consideration to the side if you are able). If you agree to his terms he will deposit the 300 million dollars into your accont before you leave and when you return you will have it. Do you agree to his terms?

What would the big deal be? Assume Mary of Magdeline was the wife of Jesus. (After all he was a simple carpenter up to his 30's). Assume she bore the child of Jesus. First and foremost, a blood line of Jesus could not be proven with Mary fo Magdeline's DNA. (Her DNA would only prove her relationship to be proven). One would need the DNA of Jesus to prove any "Sacred Bloodline". Furthermore, okay, say we can prove, beyond any question, that the heir of Jesus exists today. What would be the problem? Obviously the Pope may be out of a job and replaced by the heir, but other than that, what's the big deal. Consider too if the heir is a woman, and then compare that to the heir being male.
I'm not a believer in the "code", but I am curious as to the hypothetical repercussions.

I feel that it is something very primitive in man and in a way instinctive.
I think thats the only reason why everybody is racism to some point.

The bible speaks of eternal damnation... No god would ever allow someone to be in pain for all of eternity. There would be no point in that. A real supreme being would simple cease the offender's existence rather than torture them from now till eternity!!!

So when I read the outline of this retreat, it seems like the big message they're trying to bring out is "encouraging" each other in order to grow in the grace of God. So things like accountability, challenging, rebuking, exhorting.
Any ideas for a skit? I need a playful/fun skit, and a serious skit. This is for the University level.
(Yes i'm an educated man who minored in math, majored in engineering, but still ended up finding Jesus makes more sense than other explainations)

and nobody had the guts to contradict him? Although I will not contest that it was possible there may have also been some hand waving and murmuring of magic words for show.
