It has come to my attention that many lazy people would rather try for an answer to their school home work question, and, in the main, get wrong (incorrect) replys from those on Yahoo answers. Type in your question to Wikipeada or Google. At least you have a good chance of a correct answer; rather than reliying on others opinion.... To profer correctly from a false premise is surely the perfection of sophistry.. I mean no offence...Kind regards... Antony

ICE " In Case Of Emergency". So far I haven't found out about my local area. I did, however find this Web Site and I have posted the link. Also, I emailed this place and asked for information in regards to my local area. So far, they haven't answered back. I am sure that they will.

Do you tend to look down on them?
Do you consider them artistic and as intellects who refused to be confined by societys conformity?
Do you think they are trying to rebel against nothing?
Do you treat them as lower class citizens?

Just wondering as I have dyed my hair pink, blue, purple, some green, red and am curious as to what you think

I just saw a commercial on TV for something called "The Way To Happiness." It never mentioned what it was. All it did was give this website: http://www.twth.org

So out of curiosity I went to the website. Nowhere on the entire website will you find the word 'scientology' but I know that's what it is because it says their book was written by L. Ron Hubbard.

Why not just come out and tell everyone you're scientologists?

There are many arguments pro and con concerning Jesus' siblings. But the issue cannot be settled without examining Psalm 69, a Messianic Psalm. Jesus quotes Psalm 69:4 in John 15:25, "But they have done this in order that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their Law, 'they hated Me without a cause.'"

He also quotes Psalm 69:9 in John 2:16-17, "and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a house of merchandise." His disciples remembered that it was written, 'Zeal for Thy house will consume me.'"

Clearly, Psalm 69 is a Messianic Psalm since Jesus quoted it in reference to Himself two times. The reason this is important is because of what is written between the verses that Jesus quoted.

To get the whole context, here is Psalm 69:4-9, "Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies, What I did not steal, I then have to restore. 5O God, it is Thou who dost know my folly, And my wrongs are not hidden from Thee. 6May those who wait for Thee not be ashamed through me, O Lord God of hosts; May those who seek Thee not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel, 7Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; Dishonor has covered my face. 8I have become estranged from my brothers, and an alien to my mother's sons. 9For zeal for Thy house has consumed me, And the reproaches of those who reproach Thee have fallen on me."

This messianic Psalm clearly shows that Jesus has brothers. As Amos 3:7 says, "Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets." God's will has been revealed plainly in the New Testament and prophetically in the Old. Psalm 69 shows us that Jesus had brothers.

Did Mary have other children? The Bible seems to suggest yes. Catholic Tradition says no. Which will you trust?

Of course, the Catholic will simply state that even this phrase "my mother's sons" is in reference not to his siblings, but to cousins and other relatives. This is a necessary thing for the Catholic to say; otherwise, the perpetual virginity of Mary is threatened and since that contradicts Roman Catholic tradition, an interpretation that is consistent with that tradition must be adopted.

The question is, "Was Jesus estranged by His brothers?" Yes, He was. John 7:5 says "For not even His brothers were believing in Him." Furthermore, Psalm 69:8 says both "my brothers" and "my mother's sons." Are these both to be understood as not referring to His siblings? Hardly. The Catholics are fond of saying that "brothers" must mean "cousins." But, if that is the case, then when we read "an alien to my mother's sons" we can see that the writer is adding a further distinction and narrowing the scope of meaning. In other words, Jesus was alienated by his siblings, His very half-brothers begotten from Mary.

If we are in fact in the last days, shouldn't churches be stressing the book of revelation so that people could be aware of what's going to soon come to past?

Just curious.

My family discovered a cleanly cut rat and a pair of severed rat testicles on our front door step the other morning. Does this sound like witch craft to anyone? I only ask because there is some demented family members who are angry with us. Thanks.

Not a repented, changed person that was formerly a murderer. I mean if a person, who is a murderer, wants to be a Christian but REFUSES to turn from his sin of murder and continues to murder inocent people, can this person be a true Born Again Christian? Notice I am saying "According to the Bible". Please answer accordingly. Thank you very much.
