God told Abraham, Get thee out of thy country, kindred, and from thy father's house unto the land I will shew thee, verse 4, Abraham departed and took his wife inlcuding others. Why did God mention his wife's name since they were together. Does it mean that God was encouraging divorce when He said thou shall not divorce. And why did Abraham had to take his wife along since God directed the instruction to him alone?

if I literally translate what is says, then its 'The holly letter'. I think that this is the Bible, but in the book it only describes the life of a Jesus. what do I have then? and it says 'New testament'. I thought I have a Bible.

When my brother was little, at night when mom put him to bed he used to talk to himself, or so we thought. He told us he was talking to a man called Burgess, he was about 2 and a half - 3 years old it went on until he was 4 - he's now 21. Looking at some old photos the other day, there are definitely three with a whispy human shape standing behind my bro - where can I download them on the net for others to see? - (He confirmed to us that it was Burgess)

i don't mean the book of numbers from the torah, i mean actual numbers. 7 is said to be the number of perfection (7 spirits, 7 churches of asia, 7 times around the wall of jericho), and it seems that the number 40 may have some kind of meaning also (40 days and nights of rain, 40 days of Jesus fasting in the desert, 40 years of moses wandering in the desert). what are some more numbers and what, if anything, do they imply?

"Ich will dich immer noch, ich stehe immer noch auf dich und ich liebe dich immer noch. Ich glaube du hast mich schon vergessen. Ich glaube du wirst mich nicht mehr wollen weil du mich nicht mehr kannst. Ich will alles dir sagen. Ich bin immer noch das weibchen anwem du dich einmal verliebt hast. ich bin immer noch das gleiche. ich habe mich nicht verandaert, falls du denkst ich habe mich veraendert. Du gibst mir einfach kein aufmerksamkeit. gib mir enibisschen aufmerksamkeit und wirst es sehen: ich habe mich nicht veraendert sondern verbessert. Auch wenn du das alles nicht verstehst, ich wollte wirklich dass du es weisst, ich warte immer noch auf dich. ich will immer noch mit dir sein. und ich werde alles fuer dich machen. du bist immer noch der schatz und das beste dass mir ins leben passiert ist."

Thank you very much!

I remember in church on weds. nights was testimony night at the church house.
Everybody would give up an issue to be prayed for and the next weds. night a lot of them would acknowledge their prayers were answered and new issues would be prayed for.
Was really incredible to see god work in peoples lives.
Is their a site for this kind of practice?

according to mormon theology and lds revelation: NOTHING.

heres a link to a couple verses:

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/59/21a

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/matt/13/41b cast out those that offend

I think that i have read also that You can offend the lawgiver, but by not giving thanks you can offend God. I know that blaspheming the HOLY Ghost is an offense as well, that cannot be forgiven.

Is this verse true? !!!

A majority of providers of medicine & other clinical care in Africa are Catholic Missionaries. The missionaries may believe in abstinence but the locals don't.

Should the locals be condemned by a religion that ultimately governs their fate?

If Pope says no to condoms then the people of Africa get none.

Should the Catholic Missionaries provide condoms to these people to combat HIV/AIDS?
