Why when you say it a white "culture" teaching, there is little or "NO" truth taught in the schools about the Native Americans. Not once in you history class will you hear, well the "Indians" had a right to be angry at the settlers, because they were forcing them off lands that had been their home for thousands of years. You will not hear how the "Indians" were lied to, tricked (easy to do because our Peoples lived by honor and respect), murdered, put bounty on, sold or traded blankets infected on purpose with disease, whiskey that cloud the mind and make sick lives, the women raped, treated as dirt and less, sold as slaves, beaten, and abuse in so many ways. No you will not be taught the "truth" of the "settling" of these lands, or the "taming" of the savage "heathens" who were "godless". No you will not be taught the truth that our Peoples were far more civilized, and advanced, socially, morally, medically, and spiritually because then they have to admit it was a genocide far worse than anything "Hitler" and the "Nazi" ever did!

It is such a good book for ppl that grew up in more than one culture...like the children of immigrants etc. It doesn't even matter what culture it was, you should be able to relate to this book. It is so funny!

Ephesians 4:5 - ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM
(not thousands of lords, thosands of faiths, thousands of baptisms)
a house divided cannot stand.......
instead of asking ourselves if we are mormon or lutheran, we should ask ourselves if we are believers in christ, we should be more united in our belief in christ than divided
a house divided cannot stand.......
God surely didn't create these denominations

I am Hindu and I believe in reincarnation. I'm still a teenager, but I've learned that the attractive or beautiful people are praised and/or given attention in society. I mean, does anyone really care so much for a person when they're not physically attractive/ugly? When you're in a group of many people, wouldn't you really take notice to the beautiful people and want to talk to them? When the beautiful people are kind, their life is made; society loves beauty. So if someone's life can be much easier/better when they're goodlooking, does that mean a person is ugly because of the sins that he or she did in his/her previous life? I feel beauty is a benefit; a gift. So would that mean that the people that do not receive this gift (ugli ppl) have done something wrong in their past life? Is being ugly a kind of punishment?

Ok I'm trying to remember this correctly. Christians believe that the second coming of Jesus will result in 1,000 years of peace and Jews believe that the coming of Christ will result in us being saved. Is that right?

For Christians- if Christ was meant to bring about peace on Earth then how come we don't have it?

For Jews- What do you believe about the coming of Christ? Do you believe we need two Savior comings before the 1,000 years of peace?

I am simply curious and am NOT trying to attack either religion. I just can't remember from my Christian days.

I am Christian but...
What EXACTLY does this mean, technically? All the answers I get are always, "let him into your heart, and you will be free", and all that stuff. I don't want those fruity and obscure answers.
Some say that he died so that our sins will be forgiven forever. If that's true, why do Christians still threaten hell if you sin?
I heard it meant everyone that was in hell went to heaven. What happened to them?

P.S. No answers that insult our Lord, please.

Is a non-native-American living on an Indian Reservation subject to the Tribal laws? Do these supersede any County, State or Federal laws. Does anyone have any first-hand experience or information?
