You are giving away money in hopes of a 'win'. So why do so many Church's hold raffles?

the first story:
Jesus knew that they are coming for him to kill him, so God pulled him out to heaven and saved him, and God made the one who betrayed Jesus and told about his location to be look like Jesus, so they though it was him and killed him.

the 2nd story:
Jesus knew of the coming of those who want to kill him, so he asked his followers who wants to take my place and he will be with me in paradise. so the youngest guy volunteered to take his place, Jesus found him young so he repeated his question again to his followers, the young guy has volunteered again. then Jesus repeat the Question and the young guy still want to give himself to help Jesus. so he took the form of Jesus and took the crucified instead. and that's probably whoever said "my God! my God! why haven't you forsaken me" was actually that guy who volunteer himself for helping Jesus.

What month did everyone get married, and where did you have it? Also, what is your religion and did that play a part in where and when you were married. (If you aren't married, then when and where would you LIKE to be married?)

I want to get married in October, and depending on the weather I'd like it to be outside, surrounded by all the pretty leaves changing colors. I'm an atheist, and my fiance is religious, but we compromised and I said that we can have a priest at our wedding as long as it's held outside and there's no prayers involved. (Luckily in Denmark people are much more easy with religious stuff.)

Okay ... I've picked up on a bit here and a bit there, in some comments on YA and other forums, alluding to some pretty interesting (for lack of a better word) perceptions about the apostle Paul and his epistles.

The gist of it, from what I can figure out, has something to do with Paul setting up the Christian church he wanted to see instead of what Christ intended -- and somehow being so very clever about it that generations upon generations have been fooled (of course, one assumes, until great minds in the present day figured it out.)

Is this a weird fringe thing, or something more? I have seen no cogent, informative posts; they're more like little "anti-Paul bombs", for lack of a better term. In fact, the actual word "Paulianity" is something I just came across today. Taken together, it's all just a little ... odd.

I'd especially appreciate an informative link to a neutral, unbiased site, if possible. But at this point any info at all will do.

I've noticed females occasionally throughout my life that wear long dresses with their hair always tied up but never knew why until recently.

Do Holiness woman ever take their hair down and wear something other than a dress?

They are to include everything, including senior residences with inclusion to the 'family'of the community. I've only read of one. The people seemed quite pleased w/the way things had been designed. It was especially good for seniors who either had no immediate family, or were separated by great distances... And children who hadn't had the chance to get to know their grandparents.

Then pray this and MEAN it...
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you, I repent. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen

Greetings, fellow Christians we are all aware of the Devil's purpose or goal for our lives. To steal, kill, and to destroy. But personally why do you think God allows him to live and terrorize the earth? -Because he COULD just kill off all demons and the devil himself- Whats Gods purpose for him?

In other words, have you ever done something on a hunch, walked home a different way, or taken a "wrong" turn in your car...and then found yourself helping a stranger who really needed it, and who was then amazed that you showed up "out of nowhere?"
