"Oh look, here's the Blue Jigglers coming our way" - is that funny or disrespectful? (meaning that she has jiggly b**bs inside her shirt). It's not said to her face, just between us.

I think it's funny, no harm done.
What do you think?

Christians, according to the bible, do all Jews go to hell? If so, how is it fair for innocent people to go to same place as the men responsible for millions of deaths?

Okay, my female roommate is nagging me about this. I'm a guy. Couple months ago, we went to whole foods and she got 2 bags of groceries and I got 1 bag of groceries. We had to walk back to the bus stop, about 9 blocks and I just carried my bag. She'd like, the man's supposed to carry the woman's stuff! Everybody be driving by and thinking that guy's an asshole cause the woman's carrying two bags and he only has one.

So, I'm like, don't buy anything you can't carry.

Heb 3:13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. (NIV)
We are to make sure to encourage each other....keep each other accountable and make sure we stay on the right path. Do you do this? Are you willing to encourage and exhort one another?

In the King James Bible, the term "hell" is used 54 times; 31 times in the Old Testament, and 23 times in the New Testament. What is the meaning of the word "hell" in the bible? In the Old Testament, it is translated from one word, Sheol. In the New Testament, "hell" is translated from three words, tartaroo, Hades, and Gehenna. Let us look at their meanings.

Sheol (Hebrew Old Testament) / Hades (Greek New Testament):

What is the meaning of the word "hell" in the Old Testament? "Hell" is always translated from the Hebrew word Sheol (which is used 65 times in the Old Testament) and means simply "the world of the dead".
There is no hint of a place of fire (Jonah 2:1-2). Sheol is translated as "grave" 31 times, "hell" 31 times, and "pit" 3 times.


) Tartaroo [Greek New Testament]:
"Hell" is translated only one time from tartaroo, which is from the root Tartaros, which means "the deepest abyss of Hades" (2 Peter 2:4). Apparently, Peter was not writing about a place of flam

Last night my cousin’s b/f was killed in a car accident. He was 25. Today, his family and my cousin are making arrangements. They have no clue as to what he wanted. Cremated or buried.
Songs or not.

I remember as early as 10, telling my parents that if I died before they did that I want to be an organ donor and to be cremated.

Just got me thinking, how early is too early to plan for your funeral? 18? 16? 10? 8?

Just your opinions?

Thank you!

Answering a question, someone said, "We shouldn't test our faith or else we will turn from God." But I've always been of the mind that you should test and question your faith, coming to the conclusion that it's right (or wrong) for yourself, not just accepting what others tell you as right. What do you think?

I'm noticing more and more (specifically at work), that when I'm talking to someone, a lot of co-workers feel it's alright to grab my listener's attention by just running over my words and to begin talking to the listener. No "excuse me" or "I'm sorry to interrupt but...." And even worse, my listener's attention immediately snaps to the interrupter. Sometimes I notice that what I'm being interrupted with is more important than what I'm saying, but even then, I should be respected. Most times, I just stop talking and become forgotten. This embarrasses me and makes me feel like no one has respect for me. I have no problem speaking my mind, I'm just stumped on how to handle this assertively, being firm but polite.

"Believe what is written and pass this information along and good things will happen. Ignore this message and bad things will happen"

Fits the bill for both Christianity and a Chain Letter.

What's the difference between religion and superstition? There is none.

It’s like, you’re alive for one minute and capable of being forgiven and let into heaven and the next second it is eternal hell for you. Why do you believe that? That sounds absolutely insane when you think about it.

Why do those who riot in the streets call themselves muslims, when the Prophet (PBUH) himself wouldn't have done anything like this? How can they call themselves muslims when they don't een know what the Quran or Sunnah say? What is your opinion on this quote taken from the words of the Prophet (PBUH)?

""Give me advice," said someone. Muhammad said, Be not angry.""

This is why it's best to just ignore those who are only alive to cause anger. You let that control you. You need to tell yourself you will not give that, because you are better than that. Is it really so hard to be above somebody only looking to be of and cause destruction?

Did you know that a muslim is rewarded with Paradise for mourning the loss of a friend with dignity? By dignity, I mean by just shedding tears, not going all crazy like so many are? Yes, muslims can enter Paradise for mourning their friends who die.

What do you feel about this quote?

"The Apostle of God wept over Sad b. Ubadah. And he said, "Have not you heard that the Lord doth not punish on account of shedding tears, not from sobs of the heart from the afflicted?" He is not of the people of our way who slappeth his cheeks and teareth his collar, and mourneth like the mournings of Ignorance.

There is no reward but Paradise for a Muslim who suffereth with patience when the soul of his affectionate friend is taken"
