I have been unable to find an answer to this question: will I be a husband in this lifetime, to whom and what is she like? Numerous psychics do not agree on her age, name, personality or physical features. Can a psychic intuitive look into this? Thanks!

I stopped by my Uncle's/Older sister's house this week to drop off something. She lives with her dad and my niece (her daughter), who is 11. I came in the side door to the kitchen. I heard rocking and creaking coming from upstairs. As I put the item I was dropping off on the kitchen table, I heard a loud moan. Knowing my sister and my uncle were not home so I ran upstairs. I quickly opened the door and found her boyfriend, 16, sitting at the edge of the bed with his shirt off and the covers over him. I am guessing he was either naked or in his underwear. He had an X-box controller in his hand but the xbox looked like it just was turned on. Just then, I heard the shower turn on. My niece has her own bathroom connected to her room. I knocked on the door and she said, "I'm in the shower, go away". I looked on the ground and saw a condom that had been used. I'm not stupid. But I do not want to start world war 3 in my uncle's house. What the heck is my next course of action?

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. (Isaiah 45:7, KJV)

Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? (Amos 3:6, KJV)

Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? (Lamentations 3:38)

So, 100% of you will say that god gave us a choice between good (which you don't argue that god created) and evil (not good) which, inexplicably, you try to argue that god did not create.
Did god create the choice for us between good and evil? If so, then he had to create alternatives to choose from. Whether or not humans choose evil is irrelevant. The point is, god created the choice for us to make....good or evil.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil taught Adam and Eve right from wrong. How could they be held responsible for their actions before eating the fruit? Eating the fruit itself couldn't be a sin. They didn't know any better.

I'm curious to learn about the whole "downlow" phenomenon. How do men who identify as "straight" or as "closeted bisexual" (and who like to have sex with other men) meet each other?

Do they make a pass at another guy at a gym or something?

I get so mad when I got to a "free sermons" website and they say "they are free but you must join for $39" That is not free and dishonest. I can't believe Christians do that. Anyway, is there a place to get free sermons off the internet without paying? thanks

I'm completely serious.

There are many Socialist countries from which to choose that grant many different kinds of visas.

Any American without a Federal conviction is free to travel anyplace he is welcome, so why don't our home-grown Liberal Socialists just go where they would be more comfortable?

There's the U.K.; Canada; Japan; Russia; France... many places are available. Why don't they pony up the $800 it would take, and move?

Too...we may think we know what we are going to get, but maybe, you never know what you are going to get. We might all be surprised. Agree?

John said, "No man hath seen God at any time."

Does that mean no one ever saw Jesus?

2007-06-23 06:40:04 · 14 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

So that we will once again, have internal access to the Father, though Him. (Jesus) But you must accept Jesus as your Lord and Personal Savior. Because He is the ONLY way to God. And if your don't accept Jesus, as Lord and Savior, you place yourself in hell. Thats right YOU place YOURSELF in Hell Not God! God gave you a way out though His Son Jesus Christ, you can either accept it or burn in hell forever and ever!! I pray that you do accept Jesus as your Lord and Personal Savior.

I'm an atheist that thinks that the concept of a "god" is really stupid. Whenever someone starts talking about god I always tell them what I believe. Then they will respond with things like "you better believe in god or he will send you to hell" My question is if there is an all knowing all powerful god why does he mean mortal, especially the ignorant ones that believe in god, to defend him? And don't say free will because that is a load, if religious people wanted us to have free will then they wouldn't always be trying to write their religious beliefs into the laws of their countries to force people to follow their belief system.

ceromonies, rituals, help cast spels, etc. Would it be okay with you? What if he or she still went to church with you? Would you respond in some way? What would you do if your child (say a teenagers) refuses to stop participating in pagan rites?

If so what are your thoughts on it? Do you believe in the "School" type of philosophy where each life we learn things, and after we learn all there is to know then we "Graduate" into a higher level of soul? Have you read Roger Woolger, Carol Bowman, or any of the other "leaders" in reincarnation study? If you aren't a "Believer" are you open to the idea, or not?
