The bible tells us in Joshua 1 : 8 to read the bible , " day and night."
I would just love to know if there are any out there that actually DO read the bible every day.

My dream is to live in my own Palace of Ice, and I myself as the Snow Queen! Not an evil Queen of course... well, perhaps cunning enough to set winter all the time. And plus, cold temperature all over my palace could somehow preserve my natural beauty, an eternal youth! LoL!!

I prefer cold climate to warm one, and I enjoy winter than summer all the time ^_^ . I really wish I could control the Cold Weather and Blizzard. My element is definitely Water and if somehow I have the power of Ice Storm and Sub-Zero temperature....

Well. my Palace of Ice and my figure as Snow Queen would be such legendary. My Palace is magically hidden and only those with pure heart and noble intention could ever discover it.

I'm a tall, slim, blue-eyed, and silver-blond as the Snow Queen. Lots of men are dying to witness in first hand my pale and fragile image or even marry me, while uncounts women are desperate for my secret of eternal beauty.... =)

There is a disturbing trend of scientists, teachers, and students coming under attack for expressing support in the theory of intelligent design, or even just questioning evolution. The freedom of scientists, teachers, and students to question Darwin's theory, or to express alternative scientific hypothesis is coming under increasing attack by people that can only be called Darwinian fundamentalists.”

Fair's fair. I've just been scared out of my mind by clips of "Obsession, the Movie." Now I think it's only right to give the Muslims of Yahoo Answers an opportunity to respond. The movie says that while the radicals are a minority, they are pretty much in control, and specifically, they are teaching children to support Jihad, even to having them say they want to be suicide bombers! What do you say?

I have never been a deeply religious person, but I have always had faith in God. I have a basic knowledge of the Bible and do believe that there is SOMETHING higher than us. I subscribe to the notion of Heaven and Hell and do believe that we are judged upon death. I also think that for every negative, purposeful action, there are consequences that are sometimes left to God. My question is what do people really mean when they say accept God into your life? How do I start a relationship with God? How do I pray properly? I don't want to just pray when I need something, but this is often the case. How do I show God that I thankful for my blessings? How do I receive Him?

In my opinion...racism today is not any better than 10 years ago, will we ever "just get along" ? all the racism questions on here seem to receive the same kind of answers. should we just shut up about it?

I realize "Wicccan" and "witch" don't fit in the same sentence as "Christian", but I really would like to know if there is a medium between the terms. Can a Christian practice witchcraft ("white magick"--though, I honestly believe magick just IS) and still hold beliefs that center on nature and both the "male and female" duality of life, the universe? I'm mainly interested in hearing from self-proclaimed Christian-Witches. Thanks. BTW, nix the nasty comments.

How can R.L. White (NAACP) support Mike Vick and his actions by saying something as dense as 'Mike Vick wouldn't be vilified as much had he killed a person'. What kind of crap is that? This is not a white/black thing! Michael Vick is one of the "faces of the NFL", so of course he's going to be under more scrutiny than say a third string cornerback, but I truly don't believe race is an issue. Furthermore, the NAACP further proves that the black community needs new leaders. What are your thoughts on R.L. Whites comments, and should Vick be let back into the lead?

So I've been thinking... People have spent a lot of time and energy finding transitional fossils between animals and humans. Yet they have not tried to find transitional fossils between plants and animals. I realize that finding early fossils is difficult at best, because there just aren't a lot of them. Evidence from 500+ million years ago is hard to find, and harder to classify and interpret. At a time when all life was developing for the first time, it's hard to find black-and-white lines between life forms.

So- do strict evolutionists believe that animals came from plants, and humans came from animals? Or do they believe that plants and animals are distinct, and humans came from animals? Or is further evidence needed one way or the other? When and how do they believe life, period, first began? (This is an honest question- I don't want people to get all ticked off. Any thoughtful answers appreciated.)

With so many different religious beliefs in this world, it is impossible for all of them to be correct. So if most of them are wrong, why shouldn't we just assume that none is right?

This person has children that are out of control and she does nothing to stop them from taking other people's favors and eating everything in sight if it's something they like. They are downright rude and obnoxious and ruin everyone else's nice time. The occassion is a baby shower for my sister and this is her good friend from high school. She does not even want to consider not inviting her. How can I do this in a nice and tactful way without hurting her feelings? The persons with the obnoxious kids has a very good friend that is also being invited to my sister's shower and I am sure will talk to her once she receives the invitation. So how can I make it seem as if she is not the only one being targeted?
Please help!

i don't see a problem with it. some people have said to me that little girls shouldn't see a naked man. well why not? what's the big deal? and why is it more ok for boys to see a naked woman? i think it's important to teach kids about the human body. nudity has nothing to do with sex.

so i wonder, what is your opinion on this matter, and what religion are you? i'm curious to see if religion plays a part in your perspective on this matter.

also, many people will shower or bathe with their babies and toddlers, but once they hit a certain age that they start asking questions age 3 or so, the nudity in front of them ends. if you think it's harmful to be naked in front of children, then isn't the "damage" done by that point anyway?

Can "God" make a mistake!!? Who are you to judge if he did ?People who have a gene that determins their sexuality. Is that gene a mistake by "GOD" did he get it wrong ? If he can't make mistakes then surely Gay people shouldn't be condemned as they are.

I am naming my cottage as per tradition and it is located on a road with a latin name, so I thought it would be appropriate if it had a latin name. My research came up with " fragmentum di caelum", but i just tried translating the words. I am not sure if this is right. Thank you for your time.

In the sense are there Catholics in a church who partake of the sacraments but truely believe they are saved by grace alone.

Without any works so no man can boast etc. Only by faith in Christ and what he did by his death and resurection.

In the protestant church you dont have to believe everything they teach (theres no authority anyway) could it be the same in the Catholic one.

....and that the speed of light is actually the processing speed of the "computer". It can't calculate faster than that, so you can't see the results until it has time to figure out what they are. It takes light 8 minutes to arrive on Earth from the sun because it takes the universe 8 minutes to compute how that light will appear to us. You can go faster than light because the computer simply can't operate fast enough to keep up.
