Society & Culture - 22 July 2007

This is how your NWT has translated these scriptures.. (15) He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; (16 )because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. (17 )Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist

I noticed that the word - other- has been inserted..This is all talking about Christ..exactly what OTHER things did he created and what OTHER things were made to exist through him? I don't understand..

If not, how can he claim it doesn't exist?

Judging from the answers to the last question, I'd have to say none.

A little lesson on Egyptian deities:

In the early days,when gods walked the earth
Ra (God of creation,light) fought the evil demon Apep(Serpent).
In this battle,Ra was injured and would have died if it wasn't for his companion,Seth(God of Evil,darkness).
Together,Seth and Ra fought this evil from a darker age,and with much struggle,managed to banish him in the world he came from...

Now,please answer the quesion:

-Is light better than darkness ?
-Is darkness better than light ?

Believers, do you know just how amazing it is to be justified in the eyes of God? The simplest definition of justification is "just as if you had not sinned." But it runs deeper than that. We were justified even when there was no just cause to do so. When God saved us, He did so without a reason to. We did not deserve it, and He had no reason to do so for we had rejected God. But He sent His son to the earth to live a perfect life, and then be sacraficed and be the ultimate sacrafice. "That being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Believers do you know that you will stand justified before God?

how come Yahoo doesn't offer this section? Maybe if they did, they would let believers ask questions "HERE" of people who are "seeking answers from those with faith."
just a thought.

And if they do, doesn't that mean that animals have souls? And if you think that animals don't have emotions: it's very easy to differentiate between an angry dog and a dog who's being playful.

Some have answered my last by saying that they questioned what they hear everyday. But do they question their faith? If not WHY NOT? Can one be selective in what to question? Or should one question everything?

They may be calling upon Jesus/God in order to help others? Wouldn't that be okay? I agree there can be charlatans...but there can be truly good other psychics? Agree?

I'm wondering about Christians and sexiness. Is it an appearance women (and men?) should feel free to adopt? That is, is it okay for a woman to go beyond making herself look good/attractive and deliberately make herself look sexy? Would it make a difference if she is engaged/married or not?

Define "sexy" any way you want.

I don't know what your opinion is on this, but I think it's an important topic to bring up. African-Americans were enslaved from the early 1600s-1860s, and faced discrimination after that. If the amount earned from their labor was returned to them. Ex. if $150,000 was paid out to every black man and woman, society would be more equal. Seeing that payouts will be made to a mere 20% of the population, each non-black person would only need to pay about $40,000 in reparation fees.

I'm not trying to make light of caution.

Nor am I trying to marginalize anyone's experience.

But I've only recently discovered that my life-long beliefs fit within the Pagan paradigm.

Being single, I have a natural curiosity with respect to insights regarding dating and relationships involving Pagan women.

Perhaps I've handled this poorly, if so, my apologies. Disrespect was never on my mind.

But if I were to date a Christian woman I'd have a pretty good idea what the paramters would be.

I know almost nothing about Pagan women.

So forgive me if I'm clumsy in learning more. I tend to be direct (and playful, when possible).

Ok so heres the deal. I totaly get that asian guys like skinny girls and usually stick to their own culture. I live in Toronto and im 20 years old im 5'5 and look about 165lbs give or take. I dress pretty good and have a really nice face (not to tute my own horn) but im one the porky size since i quit smoking. I REALLY am ONLY attracted to asian guys like Japanese and Koreans mostly. But ive never been hit on by one, they barley look at me or anything and most of them I see in this city are with skinny asians. Do I not stand a chance? Is it because Im too fat? I even have pretty big breasts since were talking about apperances. Anyways should I just give up on the asian guys until I loose 40 lbs or what? T-T

Christians give the glory to God,
Atheists check google.

I think it would be a good bumper sticker.
