His will will be done regardless. I have always been confused as to why people pray other than to talk to him because His will will be done regardless, right?

*See the extension to this question for the entire scenario.

There are 3 guys. A Bishop, a bandit, and a Buddhist. The Bishop is good, the bandit is evil, and the Buddhist is a middle-of-the-roader that firmly believes in reincarnation. Each one has a radically different life and belief system, but they have one thing in common: they all plan on having their bodies cryogenically frozen when they die, so that they can be thawed, healed, and revived once the technology is available in the future.

Eventually, they all die, and their bodies are laid out and frozen next to each other, with each man in his own chamber. Their souls disincorporate and move on. The bishop goes to Heaven, the bandit goes to Hell, and the Buddhist is reincarnated into his next body. First he’s a bear, then a goat, then a cat, a dog, an eagle, an elephant, and finally a human baby boy. When he’s 9 years old, something extraordinary happens … the technology arises to revive the properly frozen dead.

I'm having difficulty understanding who an anti-hero.is. It would be nice to have examples of the difference between heroes and anti-heroes. Also what makes anti-heroes so likable?

Christians my husband and I found a whole bunch of tracts which are christian literature about who to accept and received Jesus into your heart. I live in a state where Christianity is not the prominent faith. What are good godly ways to give out tracts without being obnoxoius or obstanate?
Where are places you have given out tracts? Do you think I could send a tract to a person (s) that do not know the Lord with a letter of encouragement?

With the scorn and hatred they showed for the UN, you would think that they wouldn't want to have anything regarding their organization associated with the UN. But recently it came out that they indeed became members of the NGO Non-Government Organization-which means they were required to promote knowledge of the principles and activities of the United Nations and disseminate information about the United Nations and its work to their constituencies.

They even included quotes from the UN in the Watchtower! How hypocritical is that? Then when it came out they denied knowing the conditions and had their membership withdrew.

How sad is that?

I have recently read strongly contrasting opinions of what the actually events of Joseph Smith's life was.

I realize that both sides have twisted the history to suit their purpose. I want to get as original, and accurate as I can in this modern day.

Do you know of any resourses I might aquire for this?

Note: please do not refer me to an anti-mormon or a strongly mormon site. If you give me a site please give me one that includes Joseph Smith's journal or simmilar for my own pursuit of truth. Thank you.

I have more faith in what the Tallman says and does in the Phantasm movies. He has more substance than your Bible's got.
This is one of things the Tallman says.
He uses telepathy and makes a cross on a chain wrap
around the priest neck and says to him. You think that when you die, you go to heaven? You come to us.
I think he is more of a real character then your God.
Call me a heathen I don't care I like it.

I wonder what your opinion is...

1. When did God create dinosaurs, and why did He create them?

2. Do you think dinosaurs coexisted with man on the earth?

3. Do you think Noah had dinosaurs with him in the ark?

4. Do you think, dinosaurs were already extinct when Adam & Eve were created?

If you give me a quote from anyone but Jesus HIMSELF, or where he doesn't actually talk specifically about people of the same sex having intimate relations, it doesn't count.

General allusions to 'sin,' 'fornication,' or other vague references don't count.

When you've failed to find any, then check your Strong's and look up 'hypocrite.' How many times does it say Jesus condemned hypocrites?

Let me explain...

The laws of nature are one set of truths. For example, nothing can move faster than light. But if there is a God, and he can do anything, he can move things faster than light - a second truth.

As an atheist, I think one set of truths is sufficient.

LOL, funny how it takes committing haneous acts before these jerk-offs find Jesus. Guess he didn't find Jesus before when he became a great professional football star and had a lot to be thankful for. I guess Jesus wasn't around then.

My kids and I played board games all evening on the porch. By candlelight, no less. We decided to turn the lights off for once and reconnect. It was a lovely time.
