Would you do something about it now, or turn a blind eye?

And...how many people leaving bars are over the limit to drive? What percentage?

I only speak english. I know a few words in spanish, but I can't imagine how it would feel to speak another language fluently. So my question is: How do you think when you speak a non-native language? For me, lemonade means "lemonade" but if you're speaking spanish do you still think in english in your mind? Saying to yourself "the word I want is la limonada". Or does it just come naturally like speaking your native tongue?

If the question doesn't make sense, I apologize, but bottom line is, how does your mind work when you're fluent in another language?

Of all the contradictions and inconsistencies in the Bible, few make more of a mess of things than the four accounts of the crucifixion and resurrection as given in the four gospels.
Here we have a single narrative, told by four different authors, that is so contradictory that I've never seen an explanation of it. It will be interesting to see the fundamentalists untangle this mess. For the sake of brevity, we'll just pick up the story on that first Easter Sunday:
When the sun was coming up (MT 28:1) while it was still dark (JN 20:1), Mary Magdalene (JN 20:1) or Mary Magdalene and the other Mary (MT 28:1) or "the women" [note the plural] (LK 24:1) went to the tomb. There was an earthquake, and an angel came down and rolled the stone away (MT. 28:2) from the entrance of the tomb and sat on it, even though it had apparently already been rolled away when Mary Magdalene had got there (JN 20:1, MK 16:4, LK 24:2).

SINGAPORE: The Internal Security Department (ISD) has arrested an ex-lecturer whom it said had made plans to pursue "militant jihad" in Afghanistan.

Abdul Basheer s/o Abdul Kader, 28, was arrested in February this year, said a Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) statement on Friday.

He is a "self-radicalised Singaporean", said the statement.
...
According to the MHA, Abdul Basheer began to develop militant jihad ideas in late 2004, after being affected by the radical discourse he read on the Internet.

He was then a lecturer in an educational institution, after having practised law upon his graduation from a university.
In October 2006, he left for an unnamed Middle Eastern country where he planned to live for two years, learning Arabic so that he could communicate with "mujahidin" fighters.

But within two months, he had decided to embark on "militant jihad" immediately.

I hear a lot of Christians say that since God loves us so much he gave us free will so we could choose to be with him in heaven or to not be with him and go to hell.Basically we can choose between good and evil.Again my question comes from Genesis and the story of th tree of knowledge. It was the devil who tempted adam and eve into eating from the tree and thus they gained knowledge of good and evil. Now, one cannot make a choice in one direction when they only know about the choices in another (You cannot choose a hot dog over a burger if you have no knowledge of the existence of hot dogs). Before eating from the tree of knowledge adam and eve had no knowledge of good and evil and therefore would not be able to make a choice between one or the other. Since without choice there's no free will and the devil tempted adam and eve into eating from the tree thus giving them knowledge of the choices they could make (good and evil) couldn't it be said that the devil gave us free will not god?

Over the course of my life...things have happened that make me wonder about 'signs' of something. Doesn't neccesarily mean God or Heaven....just 'something', perhaps destiny and fate.

Well, a couple of years ago, my stepmother gave me a Gone With The Wind watch that played Tara's theme. She told me that once the battery in it is dead, it can't be replaced.

Well, she passed away this year from cancer. But the watch also died. The hands don't tick anymore, though the song still plays but very distorted.

Coincidence? Or something else?

(please no mean answers honestly...it's not even been 2 months since she passed away so I'm being serious about this and not poking any fun, please be serious in return.)

And why do Jehovahs Witnesses become so defense when you bring up the origins of there religion?

Whats wrong with accepting the fact that Pastor Russel tried to scam people with "miracle wheat" and Rutherford went to jail for treason?

If your a Jehovah and you leave a sarcastic response you just prove my point......YOUR AFRAID of the Truth.

I am a christian and I am very goal orineted and sad to say don't know that much about heaven other than because of what Jesus did on the cross he set me free from sin and death.

When people would tell me this world is not your home your rewards are in heaven I would get very upset because shouldnt we have good things on earth too?

But as I get older and more mature and seasoned in the Lord
I realize I need to seek first the Kingdom of God.

I look forward to going to heaven someday and I will see my beloved pastor who was the best man in our wedding and took the time to love and disciple me I miss him so much.

Do you know what heaven will be like? What are some good easy to understand Bible verses about Heaven?

Thank you and God bless you.

You love her with all your heart. And you know she's hot for some of your friends. So why not let her have them? You have an honest relationship and you trust her not to fall in love with them. Heck it's only sex. and who know's maybe you'lllike seeing her with another man!?

I realize as a Christian we live in a fallen world and when sin entered the world so did death. So many people around me and those back east are going through horrific times, my dear brother in the Lord had a lung tranplant and it has been touch and go as he was in a small rejection.

The church I left back east to move out west are poor and are always going through so time time our trial. I remember a young brother in the Lord said it was good for me that I struggled as a youth otherwise I would have been a spoiled little rich girl and you know what? He is 100% right.

Given all that I said what advise or counsel would you give to someone who is hurting? What can I say or do to encourage them and edify or build them up?

I have been blessed no I dont have a lot of material things there is more to life than what a person owns Luke 12:15
but I have a loving husband, family and support group.What are wonderful ways and godly ways to bless others who are going through a hard time?
