O our Mother the Earth, O our Father the Sky,
Your children are we, and with tired backs
We bring you the gifts you love.
Then weave for us a garment of brightness;
May the warp* be the white light of morning,
May the weft* be the red light of evening,
May the fringes be the falling rain,
May the border be the standing rainbow.
Thus weave for us a garment of brightness,
That we may walk fittingly where birds sing,
That we may walk fittingly where grass is green,
O our Mother the Earth, O our Father the Sky.

Jesus preached "Forgive others and God will forgive you" at the Sermon on the mount.... and he followed up this preaching by demonstrating this same principle right there on the Cross, when he said: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Saint Stephen appeared to have been the perfect disciple, since he said this very same kind of thing as Paul and his associates were stoning St. Stephen to death (Acts 7:59-60). (Paul was known as Saul in those early days) Source: http://gospelenigma.com

So if we measure a Christian in terms of walking the talk, did Paul "do away" with the last real Christian?

But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you."

i know that not every black man under age 25 gets a grill. that WOULD be a complete generalization. I said, the ones who want to be rappers most of the time get them. And also, i understand that some of the grills are removable, but some of them arent, and when they get older and are working other jobs other than the rap game, it doesnt look good at all. Im a registered nurse and I work with a guy who is also a registered nurse who just happens to have a gold grill and twists. he did this when he was young and wild and didnt take the time to think through his decision before he did this. he's a very nice guy and a good nurse. however, that is so unprofessional looking and he's actually trying to have it removed. he feels that it impedes his efforts in trying to get accepted into the nurse anesthetist program. oh, and for all you who called me a white girl, im black!

Like when you go out for dinners, bars, etc, do you pay for your friend if they are poor? Or do you feel that you are not responsible for them? I am tired of feeling obligated to pay for my friend's dinners and stuff. I don't feel that I have to. Once in awhile is okay, but if I do it too often then my friend might expect it every time!

You're supposed to study the word of God and no one but Paul himself vouches for Paul's character. Where does Jesus say He is God. Remember neither "Son of Man" nor "Messiah" imply being divine. Quote your sources if you wish to argue.

Is a bride obligated to invite her bridesmaid's date to the dinner rather than just the reception. If they are engaged or married, we realize the partners should get an invite to the whole thing. But a few of the bridesmaids don't even have boyfriends or are just starting to date someone. We are willling to have them come to the reception, but is it necessary to invite them to the dinner? We are trying to cut costs and can't invite everyone. It's going to be awkward when aunts and uncles see that their children are not invted with dates, and complete strangers are at the dinner....What's the proper protocol.

Regarding these answers:

Your answers suggest that not everyone would be a spiritual being. What's the point of any of us being a physical being? If we were all made as spiritual beings to begin with, no one would be in the physical world for you to have to interact with.

Why does there have to be a physical world? And why do we have to start out in it before we move on to the spiritual world for the rest of eternity?

I just received a lovely little gem :) What could possibly be served by spouting such hatefulness and anger? It surely can't be healthy for the spirit.

"From: Chosen by Grace

Subject: STOP HATING WHOEVER DISAGREES WITH YOU BIGOT

Message: Athée StarChildVT: edit: a lot of hate coming from this person who's been "chosen by grace"...

1. Hatred of slander and lies against the truth.

2. What is your evidence that hatred is evil in and of itself? If it is, you are all evil for hating me and insulting me.

3. Why didn't you say "edit: a lot of hate coming from Timothy Sitts" or anyone else who insults a Christian? Stop being a hateful biased self-righteous hypocritical bigot."


The thing that sent this person into a frenzy was a comment I made about his attacks over people's choices in spending/donating 60 billion dollars. Oh, and for good measure, I've been blocked. Thank you, "chosen by grace", for your excellent lesson in love and compassion. :)

If God wanted us all to believe in him, why didnt he put Jesus on earth to preach about Christianity when people first appeared on the earth? Greeks and others etc had their own gods and religions way before jesus came. im just confused.
