For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.
: how can a person who knows that the soul is indestructible, eternal, unborn and immutable kill anyone or cause anyone to kill?
: As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.
: The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind.
: This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same.
: It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body.

I've read the most dumbest questions that associated the dark skin to jealousy, lack of eduacation, ignorance, etc. Why is everybody bashing not only blacks but minorities.

I've noticed that the most populated religions and groups of people are also the most widely discussed beliefs.

Does this mean that they are also the most reasonable?

Quick background for anyone reading this wondering what the heck I'm trying to do. To improve my reading/writing/comprehension language skills, I enjoy translating various pieces of literature until I'm familliar.

http://www.bol.it is an online bookstore, and I have to translate word for word and I'm beginning to get quite confused.

I am searching for an italian language equivilant to something along the lines of the King James Version of the Holy Bible (old testament aka "hebrew bible", and the new testament). Due to my non-fluent problems, I can't figure out which books are about the bible (opinions etc) and which book is the actual equivalent to an old testament + new testament bible.

Can someone who understands please visit the website and locate for me a title and an EAN of the book I'm looking for?

(I am also game for contemporary interesting children's books in italian... I would appreciate any titles of fun kid books to buy and translate!)

Thank you!!!

I was watching Linkin Park's music video "What I've Done". Between the 1:53-1:55 mins, first, it was a burning cross and followed by some men that wore white mask. I think it's related to the Christian in the past. This scene was even been cut in my country, can anyone explain what's that?

Abraham heard 'voices' from God telling him to kill his son. Schizophrenics hear the same thing. What's the difference?

22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

22:3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ***, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.

22:4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

22:5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ***; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

Abraham is simply the first documented case of schizophrenia.

If we were to have one world election lets say making the world wide King the presedent of the United States. And that president would have the power to rule every country and authority to bring people back to obeying the ten commandments, closing down all porn, stopping every violent offender and bringing true Christian films to the cinamas and true Christian schools.

In essance if we were to be putting into power one person who could be a caretaker for the world unto Christ comes to rule in power, who would you put forward and why?

If it's only a profession of your faith, I don't see how it can save you. So why would Jesus command it? I see a big disconnect here, it's important and it's not important. What gives?
