I am living in Germany and will be driving over to the UK next month.
Since I will be out and about with a German car, I am looking on the internet for a conversion chart -

Kilometers per hour to Miles per hour...

Can anyone tell me where I can find such a chart??

First of all, I will say that this question isn't to debate whether Christianity is true or not. I believe in Jesus Christ, that he died to pay for the sins of all people, and through grace I am saved. That's just a starting disclaimer to keep in mind.

If you look at the history of Christianity, you will see a history of Christianity overcoming the obstacles thrown at it. When it began, the first believers were former Jewish people who turned on their religion and were breaking the law. However, unlike many other cults that existed at the time, Christianity thrived and grew. It spread around the world and had the biggest impact of any religion. It survived when Muslims were spreading their faith and when the church became divided. So, why do people think that it will die now? Is it because of science? It might not be able to provide definite proof for the existence of God, but it cannot disprove the existence of God.

Looking at all of this, how can that assumption be made?

I live right across the street from a popular church in my city, St Roman's Catholic. Every year they hold this huge carnival, and so do many other churches in my city. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that I can just walk right across the street for those 4 days and go on "Freak Out", "Zipper" and others. But I'm wondering why they do this. Is it a fundraiser, or is it to bring more people to the church? I've never been approached by anyone preaching, so I don't think that's it. What's the reason? They have the trucks with the parts of the rides sitting in their parking lot (getting excited here and can't wait until Thursday), and that's what started me thinking about why they do it.

In most of the cenema and television serials characters with begamus marriages are shown now a days. Almost 99% of the mega and minor serials shown by the popular media Sun TV (in south) most of the characters are shown as having two wives. All the serials shown in day time and night are of the same nature. In some serials first wife is shown as allowing the husband to marry another woman legally is also shown,
Can this kind of begamus marital life is permitted in law, and is it so much necessary to display openly even if the story contains such begamus stories. When some people make hue and cry if a lady by mistake or accidentally have sexual relationship with another person than her husband but at the same time how they enjoy and digest the bigamus marriages shown in movies and television as a regular civilized program

I'm starting a Bible study about the nature of God and I'm totally scattershot as I'm trying to compile my notes. I know the Bible clearly teaches the Trinitarian nature of God, the deity of Jesus and the person of the Holy Spirit, but I'm looking especially for websites that have a comprehensive list of verses clearly showing each of these aspects of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It would be especially helpful for ongoing conversations with some of my coworkers. Also regarding the deity of Jesus, what are all the verses that show He did things only God can do (such as forgiving sins)?

A friend got someone to hack into your myspace account to snoop around behind your back? I feel violated that she would get someone to look through my personal stuff and like the same guy might be able to get into my email accounts and bank details. Should I be upset about it or am I over-reacting?

What's the best way for me to put God back into my life?

I use to go to church and read the bible all the time. Now I never go to church and hardly read the bible at all. With the way my life has been going I really need to get back into my religion.

The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits: “The majority of N[ew] T[estament] texts reveal God’s spirit as something, not someone; this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God.” (1967, Vol. XIII, p. 575) It also reports: “The Apologists [Greek Christian writers of the second century] spoke too haltingly of the Spirit; with a measure of anticipation, one might say too impersonally.”—Vol. XIV, p. 296.

My nearby Anglican church has a Mass on a Sunday where the priest is robed in Catholic vestments and some of the Eurcharist is in Latin. In fact at certain times of the year the St. Athanuaisian creed is read from the Book of common prayer which says "for a man to be saved it is nessescery for him to believe the Catholic Faith". The word Catholic is in the book hundreds of times but nowhere can Protestant Church be found. I guess the C of E is a watered down version of the Roman Church with the Monarch currently as it's Smpreme Govenor. Agree or disagree?

I'm currently claiming Income support as its very difficult finding some kind of paid employment at the moment, I can not cope with £43 a week as I live a lavishness lifestyle, I have already stopped most of the activities I once enjoyed as I hate the thought of my saving being exhausted. I really need to be awarded Disability living allowance which then opens the door to all the other financial benefits buts theirs a fundamental problem, I'm not that disabled. I already have sever learning disabilities but I am told I don't which I feel is untrue, its quite obvious I do.. But what can one do to look more disabled. Any advice so I could perhaps fake some symptoms. I don't want to work again.

See if you can work it out without looking at the spoiler at the end.

Called both a God and a Son of God
Sent to Earth in the form of a man
Called a saviour and is the third person in a trinity
His human father was a carpenter
Was of royal descent
Visited at birth by wise men and sheperds, guided by a star
Claimed "I am the resurrection"
Was "without sin"
Performed miracles, such as curing a leper
Cast out demons and raised the dead
Had disciples to spread his teachings
Celebrated a last supper and forgave his enemies
Descended into hell and was resurrected

**SPOILER**

Yes, you guessed it, it's Khrishna, the Hindu God who was born centuries before Jesus.

Have a nice day, Christians.
