Dose wisdom have to be found why do people make in hard to find wisdom that is true. Wisdom should be given and it's one's choice to beleave in it or not. So the only reason one would not share the wisdom is because of the power of it. Is this because of greed or control. I try to understand this but it makes my head hurt can anyone shed some light on this subject?

I think that the world has lost any sense of toughness. Everyone is sooo overly sensitive that speech is constantly being hindered and everyone is a victim. I know a woman who's daughter was "acquaintance raped" years ago and she now is on disability and attending community college on taxpayer dollars because she suffers from "second hand post traumatic stress disorder". Don Imus gets fired because he's stupid and made a derogatory comment! Al Sharpeton gets involved and the victim game gets started all over again. Why can't people just toughen up and roll with the punches once in awhile? What would the people who lived through the great depression say when people ***** about gaining too much weight and blame it on McDonalds? Am I alone in this belief that people need to just f-u-c-k-i-n-g deal with it?!

Like treated like crap? I have. You go to help someone out of your heart and they throw it back in your face and call you a lier and goodness knows what else. Yes I am peed of now. In time I will get over it, but right now I am very angry. I just want to tell you look out for this little wretch on here who goes by many names mainly Hazir. He claims to be from Iran and now lives in Iraq, and fears that if he goes back to Iraq he will be shot becasue he left Islam(I believe that part) and became a christian. This man is not a christian, so please people all he wants is to get somebody to sponser him so he can come and live in your country. Do not do it. He is a vile person who gets drunk, uses bad language all the time, abuses people etc. Do not help this man. He is detestabel. I tried helping this wretch a few times and it has gone back in my face. So I just want to warn you please be careful who you give your number out to, your e-mail adress ect. There are a lot of decievers out there

baptised?

I am 18, far above the age of accountability, I know I should be baptised. I have heard the gospel, I believe in Jesus, and I believe in God....

Is it safer just to not be baptised? Will I go to purgatory since I am not baptised or will I go straight to Hell?

Anyway, I guess I'll be baptised one day, when I find someone who has the grace of God to baptise me....

Wait...could I just baptise myself? Paul let some girl do it, if a girl can baptise herself, why can't I?

I'll turn 50 next month. I'm not bothered in the least but everywhere I look I'm being told I will suddenly turn old and decrepid!

I just opened a magazine to read 'Sex for the over 50's'! What???

How are 50 year olds considered in other countries?

When I was younger I had nighmares where a Vampire, monster, or demon would chase me. When he caught me he would rake my back with his nails. The feeling is similar to drinking something cold when a nerve is exposed or being electrocuted, except it would run down my entire middle to lower back, and on both sides, like fingernails. When I woke from the dream I would be paralyzed while the spasms continued into a very awake state. Yes, I was being physically and sexually abused when they started but I have experienced them as an adult enough to know the raking of my back is not a dream. As a result of this trauma, I have a very bad back that began to ail me, dramatically, in my early 20's. The last time it happened was a few months ago. I could "see" him, he raked my back again. From dream state into wake state. I told him I was a child of God and he went away, but barely. The next night, upon counsel, I told him I was covered in Jesus Blood and he ran fast. What is going on?

Lets see.

Given that the jewellery and in particualr diamond industry is all about african ang wars were children are made to hack off their parents and other childrens limbs if not shooting them.

The oil industry is all about war and invading countires killing 100,000s to rob 3rd world countries of the wealth their land is built on, proping up murderous dictators and seeing the only escape from extreme poverty and polution is for the locals to kidnap oil workers.


The defence ie killer weapon companies of death and mutilation, gun running and helping evil dictators maintain power to torture and muder and oppress people;

Whilst many other companies like Tesco and primark make their profits by running sweat shops where people are forced to work 80 hour weeks for 4 pence an hour with physical and sexaul violence threats constantly there with no unuions and sick leave results in loss of only income in the way or starvation.

Why is the legal sex industry seen as immoral?

I guess the world can do without these controversies coming from the Pope.........does this draw any comparison to what Christ tried to educate? Why are these persons in power causing more and more rifts ? Is this necessary .....I am quite puzzled.

The last words of Christ as given to the disciples and a few others. Theologians say that the great commission still applies to us today.

What rules of interpretation were used in order to derive the applicability of this last command to us even today?

The context definitely did not include us but the disciples and the 150+ who were there at that time.

How then could you equate the intergenerational transmission of this great commission when the Apostle Paul was not bound by it but by rather a definite calling as an apostle to the gentiles?

Or even argue the fact that the epistles specify a gift of evangelism and apostleship, when the idea of a commission is not just giftedness but obedience to the Lord's commands?

I really want to have a threesome with him but I'm scared he will change... What should I do? all answers are appreciated!

Tell me why are atheists smarter than religous people?? Is it because of their free thinking skills or is it because anyone with a reasonably high IQ can understand that religion is fake?? The stats do not lie, it is a fact that atheists are smarter.
http://www.useless-knowledge.com/1234/feb/article156.html

This may explain why religous people have lower incomes and bad credit. (joke lol) They just cannot think through the facts. Its like when you were a kid and you believed in the easter bunny and santa clause but when your parents explained it was not real, it all seemed to make sense. Religion works the exact same way.

Why can't Jews or Muslims eat pork, but Christians can? Doesn't seem right one of the 4(including Buddhism) can eat pork but the others are forbidden...

Also, do buddhists eat pork?

is muslim are not in a favour of peace, brotherhood, secularizm and if then whey. is holy Kuran permit them to do such attack on innocent peoples only for the sack of Jehad. As far as I know Jehad is a battle against dark, unfair and against those people who never respect muslims. but in India every people whether they belong to any of religions , love each other.

I request to muslim maulana's to educate the muslim for development . they need education first. do not wash their mind for the sack of jehad. because the almighty god never want such sacrific of his own childrens. god is one and he is the creater, protector and hunter. we human being have no right to kill the innocent peoples. so thinkg and do accordings

the supernatural realm of God. I will not go into details on here about my personal stuff. I have done that and have been mocked for it, so I will keep mine to myself from now on. So christians putting negative people aside, have you ever experienced the supernatural from God, and what was it and how has it changed your life? And please do not listen to people that do not believe the same as you as they do not understand becasue it has not happend to them.

Personally it wouldn't bother me that much I don't think, Your kids are your kids, a daughters friend was so upset the other night because they told their parents they were gay & within 30 minutes they were dissowned & homeless. It must be so hard when you lose the support of your family, hopefully they will accept the fact that their child is gay & 'wont grow out of it' the only rule I insist on is no necking in my company but then I apply that rule to everybody, gays or straights it makes me feel uncomfortable, hold hands, cuddle not a problem but if you want to play tonsil tennis or 'lipsin' then take it out of my company please.My sons girl sat on his lap & started gyrating & all sorts, he jumped up so quick she was on the floor rubbing her butt before she knew it. He told her it was so disrespectfull in front of parents & that if she did it again they were finished!! he is really old fashioned like that, bless lol. Thanks
