Many straight people, myself included, are concerned about the influence a gay couple may have over an adopted child. How can the gay community help us to overcome these fears and issues. I am looking for sensible answers and I am not insulting the gay community.

That God will punish anyone who adds to or takes away from the words of this book. All Christians I meant be they Protestant or Catholic say that because of this Islam is wrong as the Qur'an comes after this passage.
Yet when that passage was written the bible as we know it today hadn't even been compiled so how can Christians say it proves Islam is wrong.
This kind of passage is also elsewhere in the bible see Deuteronomy 4.2. So does that mean all the words of the bible after Deuteronomy 4.2 after wrong and those who wrote them are going to be punished by God?
Could it be that only prophets who speak Gods words can add to them and not men.

I didn't know she was a bigot until AFTER I fell in love with her. She made some comments but I thought nothing of it until about a month ago, when I found out she collects swastikas. One time we were at a restaurant when she pepper sprayed a black guy who hit on her. She even put up a picture of Hitler in her bedroom and says the Triumph of the Wills is her favorite movie! Then she told me she picked me because of my Aryan features, when I thought she loved me for who I am as an individual. I hate racism but what am I going to do? I'm in love.

A Jan. 15 interview with the Indian Catholic, the Internet news service of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India, Archbishop Pascal Topno of Bhopal said that he had nothing against “surua namaskar” or other Hindu rituals, but questioned the Madhya Pradesh government's decision to make the practice compulsory in all government schools and colleges.

"People from other communities should be given the freedom and the choice to say ‘no’ to it," said Archbishop Topno, acknowledging that the Catholic Church had not received any direct orders from the government mandating the practice.

What right has the Catholic Church to convert the Hindu Indians?

How many Hindu temples do we know of in Italy, the home of the Catholic Church?

Does not converting Hindus, in their homeland, to Catholocism and then making such statements amount to 'The Pot calling the Kettle Black'?

WORD OF KNOWLEDGE FOR SOMEONE ON Y/A:
[I was praying & looking through my office files & God lead me to post this for someone on Yahoo Answers. Please let me know if it is for you.]
"My child, I have not given up on you. I have brought you out from the hand of bondage. I have set you free from the ties that bind. I hear your every prayer, I see your suffering, and I know your heart's desires. You are my delight, return unto me.
Be of good cheer, for I have not forsaken you or left your side. Reach out to me, touch the hem of my garment, and find healing and restoration for your soul and mind.
Release the pain of the past that besets you and forgive, so that you may have my Peace. Come to me and I shall make your yoke easy and your burdens light.
I am God your redeemer, I am everlasting to everlasting. There is no bounds to my love for you. Be not afraid to come unto me, for I shall heal the wounds that you bear. For I bore those same wounds on the cross for you my child."

GRACE
