Indeed, it is so strange and ironic, knowing that none of Paul’s epistle to the Romans, more than 430 verses, were ever formulated by Jesus. Paul should have made direct reference to the pristine teachings of Jesus, if only the former claim for apostleship by divine inspiration was indeed true. Instead, large parts of his epistles’ Biblical quotations (notably those in the Epistle to the Romans) were taken from the Old Testament – Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, Ezekiel and Hosea. His epistles were, indeed a product of tedious efforts, but that does not make Paul far better than any of the other men who authored the Bible, nor does it make him a Prophet.

I quote "For if we become faithless, He remaineth faithful, He cannot deny Himself." So to become faithless, you must have had faith to begin with. Grace means undeserved favor. So if salvation is undeserved, how can it be taken away when I fail, I couldn't earn it in the first place right?

We are very much in love. But he snores too loud and I toss and turn all night (I have left bruises on him). We have a normal life other than this and we are happy with the situation. But a pastor once told us that it wasn't normal and that he was praying for us to get back together. We like our own space and rooms. I usually go into his room before bedtime and we visit for a while. We are both christians. Thank you for your help.

That is oe question. I have had for a long time. What exactly does it mean to not judge. Does it mean not judge meanly or not judge anything or anyone at all? Like if you had a gut feeling that someone is bad. Should I have that feeling or was I wrong to judge them by my gut feeling they are bad. Like sometimes hateful ideas come into me before I know someone or a group of people. I naturally categorize or maybe judge them without knowing them. Is categorizing people judging? What exactly does the bible mean to not judge. What is acceptable?

If you believe that sin, or loss of faith, or any decision you can make can cancel your salvation, it would be best to wait so that you have a limited time to mess it up right?
Salvation by grace emphasizes God's accomplishments
while salvation by works glorifies self. "It is the gift of God", right?

I have no problem w/ jewish people.I see them as just another white person.Alecia Sylverstone.Thats all I'm saying !!! I think of them more of a secret fraternity.It is common knowledge the Diamonds,gold,entertainment,banking,Edu.&Univ.systems,newspaper,and justiceSystems are predominately Jewish run.For some reason just saying this makes you a bad guy.If I noticed all the names on the WWW. board were jewsish sir names I would be a bad guy too.But what I want to explore is the possibility that media has driven into our minds the perfect penial form is a cropped one.How did religious rite of a minority religion become standard in less then 50 yrs.To convince someone to snip their precious newborn child's yoowhoo is no small feat.But if the sir names of the people that run our mainstream medical world were jewish a;so that would be.....Could it be a big scheme or is it paranoia ?Nobody can ever single out jewish males like the Nazis did now it's normal.A little all too convienient ?

The Dark Side. Feared by many. Embraced by few. I am one of the few. It is not bad. I no longer fear it as the many weaklings that inhabit this hellish pit called Earth! It felt cold,I was blind, I was angry, I was sad. How I embraced it. I thought about all the bad things that happened to me, all the dark and sad memories. I thought about all the times I was picked on,then I thought about getting my revenge on the bullies and hurting them in sadistic ways. I thought about all the people whom I loved and died in my life. I could also see the future. The dark side told me that my friends would die if I did not embrace what it had to offer. I gained strength through the pain! The dark side will serve me well!

Your motivation for serving God should be love for God, not to try to get something from God. That is why so many atheists are correct in seeing so many believers as hypocrits.
They are serving God in order to gain something for themselves, not give of themselves to Someone greater.
Agree or disagree?

Eventhough I say exactly what I mean, and I am very clear with my message, I still come across so many people who still don't understand what I'm saying. I sometimes have to give detailed directions on how to complete a task, and I find that many people are just not good at follwing directions, even when it is to their own benefit to do so. Does anyone have this problem communicating with people?

#2. I will believe that i can do things like Jesus could, like heal the sick.
#3. I will wear a pentacle instead of a cross.
#4. I wont read the bible, i'll just go by what God tells me.
and #5. I will believe there is reicarnation after death.

How does this sound.....?

Neither the Old Testament nor New Testament uses the term "Trinity," though Trinitarians believe the concept is implicit in various biblical passages (see Scripture section below). The doctrine of the Trinity is the result of continuous exploration by the church of the biblical data, argued in debate and treatises.[1] It was expressed in early writings from the beginning of the second century forward.[1] The First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD established a nearly universal Trinitarian dogma and expressly rejected any heresies.

I found an awesome show on the channel CCEF. It's called monde de l'economic. The language is Japanese and the people are too. It's subbed in Spanish...but the problem is I don't know Spanish. I did a search on it and didn't get anything. If anyone knows what the title means...or anything else, that would be great.

Today one of my bf's friends had a Barbi doll with her (her daughter's). We were discussing it, had fun and when someone said that Barbi's body is unreal - too perfect, my bf says that my body is exactly the same as that doll's. It was a JOKE! My body in fact is pretty good, but I am not tall and obviously am not a model or a Barbi type. I got very offended by his sorcasm, but he claims that he didn't mean it as a sorcasm, but what was that if I really don't have Barbi's body? He did the same exact thing a month ago, saying that I have a body of some stripper (someone discribed that stripper, and my body is absolutely NOT like hers!) Sorcasm again? I cried a month ago, and I cried now - he still doesn't understand. Or maybe I just overreacted both times? Do you think it was a bad joke, though?
