...how do they combine and equal just one fully God? What does the Bible say about that? No copy-and-paste answers please.

I'm learning spanish, and this is currently confusing me.
Can you give me the context within each word would be used?

Yes, yes, I know Jesus had a lot to say about eternal life; that's not my question.
I'd like to know why the Bible god didn't talk about it much; and so my question covers Genesis through Malachi.

Replies from Bible scholars and others appreciated.

Ok, so today I met with a hotel operator supplier. As I met him for the first time, we exchanged business cards and shook hands. The whole time we were discussing plans and negotiations, he addresses me by my first name, blah blah blah. Fast forward to the end of the meeting, we give our pleasantries again and shook hands. Then, he says "It was nice meeting you..." At this point, he reaches over to his pocket, raises my business card to his eye level, looks at it and then looks back at me, "..Tammy." How uncool was that?! Uncomfortable and unprofessional, don't you agree?

Having travelled and lived abroad most of my life the only 'broadening' I am aware of is that I now see that the world is in a mess and my own country is as bad as everywhere else.

Atheists say that they are smarter than Christian? Is that true at all?

Poor countries are more propense to believe in Jesus. Rich country are less likely to believe in God. Where there are more rich people, there is better education. However, education does not mean you are smarter. For example, here in USA we have tons of college, maybe more than in China and Japan, economy is also better, however, education in Japan and China is years ahead of the US.

Christian are not less smart, it is just that countries where economy is not that good, tend more to be Christian or of any other religious.

Behavior show how smart people are, smart people discuss and talk about what they believe, not about what they dont believe.

Most atheists bahavior is to make fun of Christian. Smart atheists do not make fun of religious. For example, Bill Gate. He says "religion is interesting" but he preffer explore something else. He has not said he is smarter than Christian.

Who is smarter?

If so then why do some religious (key word is SOME) want to ban and even burn certain books simple because they disagree with the subject matter? While it is their right to verbal disagree about the book, it is not right to ban or burn it from others who want to read it.
Such as Harvest Assembly of God Church in Penn Township.

Should Intellectual Freedom be allowed?

Seriously why ban and burn books? Do you realize that doing so will lead to a world very similar to the novel Fahrenheit 451?

Source of banning and burning book is here
at the American Library Association website.

Last weekend I ordered food to go from Chili's. I called them, placed the order, drove myself there, walked inside, paid the exact amount for my food and left. As I left, I heard this punk employee yell to another employee, "No tip!" as if I should have. I realize waiters make less than minimum wage, and I always tip 20% if they do their job. But this kid did not bring me my food, he did not bring me drink refills or ask how I was doing. He waited on me for maybe 3 minutes whereas a normal waiter would wait on me for an hour or more. Is tipping really customary or necessary? I know now that they expect it, but who doesn't these days. Even the register jockeys at ColdStone and Starbucks think they deserve it now.

He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

I am a 22 year old gay male. I've been with 9 different guys in like 7 years, since I was 15. Out of those 9, I've bottomed three times and topped 4 other times. I have always used condoms, ALWAYS! I've never taken an HIV test cause I can't afford it and I am not out of the closet. How would I know if I have HIV or not?

I have not had gay sex in more than about 3 weeks and it was just kissing and oral.

Can you pick up HVI from just kissing and or oral? As I said, when doing anal, I am always making sure other guy has no cuts around his butt or his penis and always using condoms.

If you wanted to manipulate people with a religion, what "catch" phrases would you use?

Example: "lean not on your own understanding" - Does this mean, no matter what you understand to be true, just believe me?

There must be several other ones.

Can you think of any "catch" phrase that would cause a person to never question the authority of a religion?

I found a lot of sense by rapper 50 cent's claim that it is easier to go after 8 individuals singing rap/Hiphop, rather than going after a big corporation like Paramount or Colombia pictures who include as much violent contents in their movie productions.?? Find videotape url link below:

I agree that visual combined with audio in a movie is more appealing and impressive than just listening to the sounds of a rapper? I'm a great fan of hiphop music, and I've always known right from wongs. Hiphop is just a listening pleasure and a genre music-a half influence of the entertainment industry....
Please debate....
