I got married 3 months ago and between showers, parties, and the wedding, recieved a lot of gifts. All of the gifts I recieved prior to the wedding, I sent notes for within 2 weeks of recieving the gift. For gifts recieved at the wedding, I had all notes sent out by the begining of July. Like I said there were many gifts but I had been very good about listing everything and thought that I had all of them completed (I am still reviecing a few late gifts here and there and I promtly thank the giver). Anyways....my husband and I were still building our home while all of this was going on so we were keeping gifts at our parent's houses. Our home is finished and we are moving this week and while over at his parents I found a whole stack of unopened, unlisted, and therefor unacknowledged gifts, that his mom "forgot" about. When writing these notes, should I apologize for the delay or just write them as normal? I can't ask my mom b/c she'll flip even though its not my fault.

Beanie is real BTW. I found a book about him and I believe he has magic powers, so why wouldn't he be real.

I'm getting popped for it at work right now and they are sending me to "Sensitivity Training" I think it's ridiculas this girl dresses like a hooker short skirts big knockers tight shirts you know what I'm saying. So I smack her *** and scream "Giddy Up" or sneak up behind her and give her the old pelivic thrust to the behind. Am I wrong she's asking for it?

...a heaven. To those of you who say that you DO NOT KNOW BUT ONLY HAVE FAITH: does your position that you do not know for sure mean that you consider it a possibility that death is the absoute end of our existence?

PLEASE!! I know you all have faith, and I know that some of you say that you KNOW you are going to heaven. This is not the question. This question is ONLY FOR CHRISTIANS WHO SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE THAT THERE IS A HEAVEN. Thank you! Serious anwers only and let's all be respectful please.

As salaam alaikum. I just came across what you could call a debate, ( I call it alot of hate), here between muslim brothers and sisters.

I could not beleive some of the things I was reading, and to think that this was muslim against muslim. I admit, I have said some things which some may consider rude or downright mean, to non muslims in retaliation for their hateful spite of Islam, and only in defending my faith, but never to another muslim, calling other muslims kufrs and such... That is for Allah (swt) to judge.

How does all of this make you feel?

Does this presentation make sense in our culture? It is kind of an allegory.

The questions has been asked...is their only one way. Well here is my thought:
Once upon a time there was a king who lived in a fortified city. He wanted to have fellowship with the people outside the walls so he made a door. He told the people, "Anyone is welcome to come in to my kingdom, the door is open." Some believed him and did, however, many refused to come through his door & were angry at him for being so close-minded. Others refused to acknowledge the king or his door. They said, "How do you know the king exists? Have you ever seen him? And of this door...how do you know it exists?" Yet the king keeps the door open so that people can come in and have fellowship.

Jesus is the door. And all who enter through Him will certainly never be cast out.

Unless you were born a Jew or became a Jew by choice, you were never required to sacrifice anything at all to atone for your sins. You weren't even required to observe the Sabbath. The only laws you were bound by were the seven Universal Laws, and even those were applied liberally. As long as you lived a good, peaceful life you were assured a place in the world to come. It didn't matter which god you worshipped, it didn't matter if were gay or lesbian, it didn't matter if you never knew a word of the Torah, as long as you lived a good life you were assured a place in the world to come.

So exactly what did Jesus accomplish for Gentiles when he died on the cross? Please try to understand, salvation was NEVER an issue, nor was belief in a specific god.

How do you deal with being microphallic? I can't imagine going through life like that. Do you have some sort of prosthetic or something, it just seems like it would be really awful...

If he was a "god", then why did he die?

if you were "god's" son, then why wouldnt just laugh at the romans while you were on the cross saying.."HAHAHA I can die you idiot!!", and tell your followers not to worry, i am going to be alive in three days...

I am amazed at the amount of people who think that we only worship in church. I have often dropped to my knees right here in my own house.
I don't need church to do this. Do people really think that Christians only pray in church?

How come the Jehov's wont give blood if someone needs it? Would they rather their Mother, Brother, Aunt or Child dies? What kind of religion is that? Jesus bled. Why cant you?

How come you will give money to the church who, dont need it but when you go door knocking to preach, you wont offer it? How come the church talks about God but, not about giving back to the poorer community? Are you all narrow minded?

I've read the bible because of my own interests but don't any catholics out there agree that Catholic Education ignores the bible too much in the sense that most of what is given to children (who should not be taught religion in my opinion) is basically Catholic Tracts, Workbooks, mechanical monotone masses, and rantings from teachers, but basically no bible study.

BTW I was raised catholic and atteneded Catholic School for 5 years.
