I'm looking for a passage in the Bible that has anything to do with making time for people on earth....

Just alot of people don't take the time to do things anymore for me, like hang out or return phone calls, text messages, email, or favors, etc. So I'm looking for a passage that has somthing to do with making time for people....

Thank you for reading, and taking the time....

"you are in light , others are in dark , you are unique others are morons, you are special others are dumb."

This is the way every cult religions act's to isolate their followers apart from the rest of the world , and brainwash them step by step.

Why the christian / Islam followers think - they are unique and the outside world is moron. they are gifted . .? out side world is evil and scary place :-)

The pastor will hug the follower and " I'm happy you have come " you are in light - they are in dark ?

Today I protested against the KKK by wearing a KKK robe while I let a Black woman walk me around on a leash.
When I posted this question on answers, many ppl said it would not be a good idea, but it worked out great!

It was the black womans idea for me, sense I used to be in the klan, to wear the robe and let her walk me on all fours to piss them off. They got so mad they ended up making themself look like idiots. U should have seen their faces when I shined her shoes, bowed and kissed her shoes, layed on the ground with the robe on and let her wipe her feet on me, & when she spit in my face a few times and had me bark like a dog. They got mad but couldnt do nothing. It was hilarious.

I decided that I would do this again sense it worked so good.
If theres any black or non white girls ( I just cant seem to let myself be walked on a leash by a man, testosterone maybe lol) who are protesting against the klan, or want to,and would llike me to help by doing what I did, let me know

First, please don't assume I'm taking sides here. I'm an atheist. However, I can't help but notice the abuse that Islam takes on this board, all day and night long, every day and night. Here are my questions:

Why is it that, when anyone quotes one of the many violent verses found in the Bible, they're "taking it out of context' - but when someone does the same with a verse from the Quran, it proves that Islam equals violence and hate?
Why do you allow Christianity the 'not a true Christian' defense, but never allow that extremists within Islam might be just that - extremists?
Why do you complain that Muslims aren't speaking out against the terrorists, but when they do and cite relevant Quran verses to show that the extremists are wrong, you say they're making excuses for them?

Finally: Do you ever wonder if maybe all the abuse the Muslims are taking now isn't the persecution your god spoke of that was to come in the last days? Maybe Islam is the correct religion?

Do any of you believe that United States is God's Favorite country? If I believed in a god I wouldn't.I Don't understand why religious people want to keep God in the pledge of allegiance if he is on everyones side!

I lead a Bible study class on a weekly basis. I don't only teach the attractive parts of Scripture like Psalms, Gospel of John, and Romans, but challenging parts of the Bible like the Letter of Hebrews, James, 2 Peter, etc. Recently, I am being opposed by other Christians at church because I teach them that true faith will produce good fruit. That those who continue to wallow in sin are not true believers and will not inherit the Kingdom of God. In fact, I am becoming more unpopular with people because I speak the truth about the demands of the gospel. Thus, my question is: what am I supposed to do? I know that we are saved by God's grace through faith alone. However, Scripture is clear that faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26). Anyone here agree with me on this?

How long have you been in the closet? you know I was in the closet since the day I was born, I was a little baby, I came out as bisexual in high school in October 2006, and let me tell you it was a night mare, I got in lots of trouble with other students who had bi phobia, I had my so called friends ditch me, I was told I had a mental illness, bisexuality is not an illness, I have been put out the house about 4 times, I have almost been killed by my dad who had a very hard time dealing with my coming out, I have been put in psychiatric warps because of things my dad told the police that were not true, while in the warps, I hated it because I wasn't a legal adult like I am today, I was told I didn't know what I was talking about, I was told I was going to h*** because God hated people like me, I was told I had to go back in the closet because I was not ready to come out, I wanna say to all people who love differently on yahoo that is thinking of suicide because you think you are not

I am an editor of news.I never publish rubbish.I want to know from any if this is true.I know Iranians since a very long time- people who go to prayers so may times are incapable of this- to gas muslim brothers and sisters.If so then we have to check our religions at Islam which I know to be a religion of peace-nothing but peace .But this world is going to the rots each coming up with his own version of his religion. A real pity!
Have you read three books by ROBERTS HIMAL WINTERS?
Those who wish to save themselves go to them then to their prayers.Search for the books in the library or if you do not find any have them reserved. Roberts is a friend of mine we have worked for many years in the Mid East and even married and Iranian girl there. and has five kids with her.

My kids were at a Mormon relatives house for about a week, and when the got back, they reported that they had to pray every time they ate anything. Of course they were respectful, but taken back by this unusual experience.

So I asked them if the prayer went like this: "and Please bless this food that it may nourish and strengthen our bodies and do us the good we need inthenameofcheeseandriceamen."

And my kids laughed, gave me a knuckle knock, and said that is EXACTLY word for word what they said every single time they prayed at the dinner table.

My question is, how is it possible that I would know the exact prayer of someone in 4 states away? I didn't even know they were praying? Does this mean I am psychic? Do I have powers normally reserved for prophets? What other explanation could there be? As far as I am aware, this prayer does not appear in any church doctrine, so I'm at a loss.

What is the likelyhood that a "designer/creator" exists, and also, what is the likelyhood that one doesn't exist? I agree with the "big bang" theory (not proven) so that means I believe the earth is billions of yrs. old and the possibility of "evolution", but give me your thoughts and theories of how space and time came to be..where did the "singularity" come from? What was before the singularity? And to christians, what was before god...very tough questions.

Do you ever feel that God is punishing you for wrongs your family before you did & that He doesn't like you? I've felt like that for sometime, it seems as if everytime I get close to accomplishing a dream or begin to feel as if one of my hearts deepest desires is about to become reality it's snatched away. I know it's a deep question, and something I'll be discussing on a more professional level I'm sure, I would just like to sort this out. I'm a good person with a good heart who tries my best to follow the " Golden Rule" no I'm not perfect but I'm a very honest, caring, giving, kind person. I feel I deserve some of my hearts desires. Maybe I'm just venting, but what do you think?

Every religion showing thier good picture and trying to attracts the human beings but all are hiding truth and are new and self praising But in Vedas there is no mention about any religion or any type of caste and only the knowledge of science is filled in that insteat of that all the books on earth are seems to guide on a single way But Vedas are seems to go through all the ways.
So, everyone invited to vote which is best

OK I can not wait for Oprah to get off vacation so, I made this question as, well I can't think of the word but I made this question in the form of an interview for you, 10 points for best answer.
question # 1 so people who are gay and lesbian on yahoo tell me, how much heat did you get if you came out in high school?

question # 2- when did you know when it was the right time for you to come out to your parents? and what was their reaction?
did they kick you out the house?

question # 3- if you have friends that are not gay or lesbian, when you came out to them, did they treat you differently, and
how did they handle the shocking news?

answer every question in the form of a paragraph.
I am bi and I love posting question to make people feel good about themselves.
