Help, my maid is acting passive aggressive, she won't look at me when I talk - she wouldn't even look at me when I asked her why she won't look at me and asked if she is angry about something or doesn't like working here. She was almost rude in her tone and said no, that's just her, keeping her back turned. I've asked her not to use toilet paper to clean the sink, and today I found little bits of toilet paper from her cleaning. I found out that she calls my friend for whom she works full-time "ma'am", yet she addresses me by my first name. I'm uncomfortable when people use my first name without asking my permission - I wouldn't do that at my job - but it's been going on a while and is hard to backtrack.

Let me just say that I am a decent person, respectful, clear in my requests and never abusive or nasty. On the whole, her work is OK but I feel uncomfortable having this hostility in my house and am at a loss as to how to address it. Please, only serious answers.

What do you do when your good is evil spoken of?? people say that they like or love you, but slander your name and character, just to make themselves look and sound good to others around themselves. you try to do and say the right things but it does not matter. after while you began to not know who you are anymore and not trust people as well,

1. Jesus says: "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

2. Then Jesus says: "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned [to hell].

This is blatantly hypocritical. Jesus says dont smoke while smoking a cigarette. Jesus commands to Love your enemies but Jesus doesnt he burns them?

There is no rationalization or excuse you can make for Jesus here guys.... Jesus is a do as I say not as I do kinda "perfect" person???

I have read a lot of misconceptions and misinterpretations of the scriptures from non Christians. Verses are taken out of context and the meaning is twisted. Many things which they claim are in the Bible are not. The Bible contains scripture which deals with everything we will ever come across during our time here on earth and a lot of people will apply a certain verse to a situation it is not meant for. Most are not aware of the writings of historians who lived during the first century who recorded many events which are also in the Bible. Even if it's just for the sake of understanding that which you are debating, would any non Christians be interested in learning more about the Bible? I realize there may be non Christians who have studied the Bible. This question is for those who have not.

we all force things down peoples throats instead of just letting them know what the Bible says. I think we do it a lot I know I have but I understand that Christians are just so excited about God they end up hurting others with their words. But also I think many nonchristians overreact and take it in as something bad. so can everybody not get so angry anymore listen to people and answer kindly and respectfully if you're a christian you're suppose to love your enemy not accept their ways!

In an upcoming article in Nature Physics, scientists from Penn State have discovered that our universe was created when the previous one collasped. This new theory can see what some of the previous universe was like. And instead of the "big bang" starting everything, it could be called a "big bounce". In other words we could live in an infinite universe that contracts and expands and contracts in a cycle that lasts forever. So if the universe has always been doing this, where does god fit in? A creator is not needed if the universe has always been around.

This was many years ago and I have been sick for many years. I had another reading and they still see the same dark haired, light skinned woman casting a spell on my life. Is there anything I can do to remove it?

"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
That seems simple enough. And wouldn't you expect Jesus to love his enemies?
Yes...?
What we find in Mark 16:15-16 is surprising. It shows us how Jesus treats his enemies:
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned [to hell].
This is "good" news? Jesus doesn't love his enemies at all. In fact, you don't even need to be an enemy -- even those who would rather not "believe in" Jesus are condemned to eternal torture in a lake of fire????

If NO: Why did these things exist at all?

IF your answer is "Free Will", why was "Free Will" designed so that it would destroy other people AGAINST their free will?


If YES; then he obviously is not a loving god.

Thanks in advance for answers.
