Time and God are infinite so how did he create that? I bet you cant answer that. By the way, Even if humans didnt invent time, there would still be a past, present, and future. So.... explain.

Here is another interesting tidbit. Did you know that according to 1 Chronicles 21:17 and 2 Samuel 24:13, God killed 70,000 men, (Including women and children, probably over 200,000) over a incorrect Census made by David, because David numbered the Levites.

Can't you just feel the love?

Well Christians, why would God kill all those people over one sinful census? What happened to forgiveness?

I totally do NOT believe the garbage from some of the bestsellers recently that suggest Jesus married and may have had children. But then, even athiest historians dismiss those books as rubbish!

But the question I ask concerns descendants of Jesus' family. While Jesus did not have children he had siblings, didn't he? And they had children, I would guess. He also may have had uncles and aunts. So he could have living descendants. Are there any people alive who claim to be his descendants? I know that some monarchs might claim to be linked to King David, so I guess if Jesus was in the line of David then maybe these monarchs could try and claim they are connected to Jesus by blood.

I think its an interesting question. But remember that I am asking if anyone *claims* to be related to Jesus. I phrase the question that way because, of course, any such claim could never be proven.

I recently had an odd, yet interesting experience with a very aggressive, overbearing black woman who simply thought she was god's gift to men and that i should naturally be attracted to her, especially since she is black. when she realized that i wasn't kidding about not being the least bit interested in her, she asked me if i was gay. i explained to her that, gay or straight, i didn't like overbearing women with attitude and huge chips on their shoulders, regardless of their race or ethnicity. This isn't the first time i've had such an experience with a black woman, but this was a particularly annoying case. While i am black and have no qualms with dating black women, i am not at all afrocentric, and i did not grow up here in this country dealing with these sorts of racial issues. why is it such a huge deal here?

Christians say that if you except God and let him in your heart, he will make himself known to you. Here's my question. Many hardcore Christians have left the church and became atheists. If these people at one time accepted God and let God in their hearts and God made himself known to these people, why would they convert to atheism. If God makes himself known to you, then there should be no question in your mind that he exists. Could it be that maybe he really never has made himself known to anyone and that everyone is just pretending in an attempt to fit in with everyone else? I think they should change the phrase on money that states "In God We Trust" to "In God We HOPE."

It obviously began with Peter and is said to end with a man that will call himself "Benadictine". That's Benedict translated. The list ends, as previously stated, with the 16th Benedict and so far the list has been 100% correct. Coincidence, end of the Catholic Church, or the end of times? Give me your thoughts.

Romans 1:24-27 Therefore God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them, 25 even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; 27 and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.

A lawyer parked his brand-new Lexus in front of his office building, eager to show it off to his co-workers. Just as he got out, a truck sideswiped his car, tearing off the driver's side door. The lawyer frantically dialed 911, and within minutes, a policeman arrived. "My Lexus," the lawyer screamed at the policeman.
"You lawyers disgust me. You're so materialistic. Good grief, man, don't you realize your arm is missing? The truck must have ripped it off in the collision!"

"My Rolex!" screamed the lawyer.

So, i used to be Catholic, but now i am just a follower of Jesus. I do not believe in God, however I feel that Jesus' teachings are good. So i still go to mass.
Anyway, religon is the most contradicting thing ever. We are told not to kill and turn the other cheek, but we are allowed to murder other people in war and they will go to heaven. and heaven, only humans can go there. We have been on this planet for a few thousand years, why are we the only life forms to have the privilage of an afterlife. The pope says to give to the poor etc, and he wears Gucci and Versace and flys around in private jets and helicopters. The Bible is only backed by the Bible. There is no other docuemnts supporting to Bible.

We believe in a religon created by people that thought that the earth was in the middle of the universe, that putting some hay and food together would spawn animals. Can you really believe in such a stupid idea. (for lack of better word)

Yes, Paris Hilton did some bad stuff and that's why she's in jail. However, do you think the media is being too hard on her? Everyone makes mistakes and that's hard enought to face, but she has the whole country fighting against her. Once she gets out, people will be slamming her from all sides. That's hard enough for anyone.

What happened between her and the system, should be left between the two of them. Yes, she may have screamed and cried, but ulitmately the legal system made the final call. Not Paris.

She is just being shuffled back and forth. Do you think she is sort of a scapegoat for a corrupt legal system? Yes, she got out b/c of her celebrity status, but ulitmately the legal system let her go.

What do you think? Do you sort of feel bad for this girl? I would probably be crying my eyes out if I were in jail. I'm not rich or famous.

Do you feel bad for her at all?

I have heard some say it was, they say the Ships and merchants stand for wealth and trade of that time, to update it would be like saying Wall street now. verse 17 says in 1 hour
Just wondering what you think,
15The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

You can be guilty of all kinds of sins, and yet experience the joy of forgiveness. You can have this joy when:

1. Quit denying your guilt and recognise that you have sinned.
2. Admit your guilt to God and ask for His forgiveness
3. Let go of your guilt and believe that God has forgiven you.

God's Word declares that sin confessed are sins forgiven.
(1 John 1 v 9).

My town used to have a great one. I started counting in 2002 after 9-11 when everyone felt so "patriotic" and there was 100. A great community event, bands, food and fireworks. By 2005 it started declining. One brief concert and a 50 shell display. Last year, no band and and a 40 shell display. This year it is canceled due to lack of funds. Back in 2002 vendors paid enough in rent to pay for everything. I hope we can still do something, or at least bring it back next year.

I am a direct descendant of the Percy Family, who years ago was one of the most powerful families in England, until one of them tried to assasinate the king. Then they moved to America, which is where I am right now. I want to try to get some of my ancestral homes into my possesion, but the problem is that the current Duke of Northumberland, a member of the Percy Family, is one of the richest men in Britain and therefore owns almost every one of my ancestral homes.

Then! Cientificamente you cannot deny true the historical one of this philosophy: Beyond the Universe the life also is infinite in the Land, and all the species also the man have certainly ancestral origin, where the pursuing of the life (for the future) results in an arrival to the past of Daily pay-History; e that finishes in return to the gift of Our Historia.

I circulate that our alternating History of Daily pay-History is happened again infinitely.
