Luke 11:9
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Christ is cosmic and made no condition on this statement so it should work for everyone.

Do you look at people expecting them to be stupid and find stupid people all around?
Do you look for signs of the end of the world and see them everywhere?
Do you look for work but know it will be hard to find and keep searching in vain?
Do you look for a person to share your life with but know that those you are interested in are flawed and keep being frustrated at what you find?

Could we change our lives by seeking something positive and putting aside our doubts?
Could we change our lives by changing our minds?

Or would you rather just search for information that supports what you already think you know?

They came to the door and I foolishly didn't check to see who it was before opening. Instantly the testifying began; I have a hard time being rude to someone's face, and kept trying to squeeze a word in when these two ladies noticed my accent--and the whole of the conversation changed.

The Lord, and all of the wondrous things he could do for me was forgotten. Instead, these two middle-aged ladies thought the way I talked was "cute" and kept asking me to talk for them. I was embarrassed and also a little annoyed---if they were sincerely trying to share their belief, that's one thing(despite my disinterest), but to be so patronizing to me and treat me like an entertainment for them is something else entirely.

I was rescued by the dogs, who came barking to the door, allowing me to use them as an excuse to disengage, but by this time, I had already spent close to 20 minutes trying to get rid of them. What is a polite way to respond to such people and still respect their beliefs?

Ok first off I love all women I don't agree with this but I keep hearing from all my buddies that foriegn women let alone asian and latin with the exception of some pacific island women do it best. One quote I heard from a friend of mine who is dating an asian women says- " American Women can be sooo backstabbing.They will lie and scheme and will ruin another man's reputation on purpose. Women are also full of drama...oh we can't forget the drama..and they are also smarter, know how to treat a man & not high maintainence & also prettier and not self center...Ladies I know this isn't true help a guy to tell him whats up

My polite and humble Question was

"Tom Cruise is jumping on Oprah's couch begging everyone to follow scientology, What will you tell him?"

The best answer i chose,
"Mission Impossible,Tom"

No sense of humor. End result, Pissed off scientologists.

Are there FUNDIES in every religion???

Countries do suffer different kinds of crisis, from natural disasters, to economical, to wars, etc. And billion dollar corporations suffer bankruptcy and other kinds of crisis.

What about the freemason? What were the greatest secrets that had been revealed about them and against their wishes? Have they ever had anyone deserted them and revealed some their secrets?

Please try to understand the problem before giving your answer.........I have met a great guy that cares greatly for me and loves my kids like his own. We have talked about getting married and having a family and all the things a serious couple talks about. The problem is, is that I am a very devoted catholic and he is a very confused agnostic. I have already made it clear that I am going to raise my children catholic and that I don't want to be with someone that is going to contradict everything they have been taught. He is very arrigant at this point about what he believes or doesn't believe, and has a very twisted way of thinking when it comes to religion. He has how ever agreed to joining R.C.I.A to learn more about the catholic church. My question is, do I stay with him and hope for the best? I'm not in this to force him to become something he doesn't want to become. Or do plant a seed, hope that it sticks and move on with my live? I've already been married to a lukewarm catholic!

All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven.

I got an email regarding Muslims and I want to verify this information about Muslims being commanded by Allah to kill all the infidels.

Thanks so much!!!!!

I am in the program, However, starting to read about the 4th and 5th step has given me doubts about this. To go and tell everyone you hurt that you are sorry and do a moral inventory is not my idea of recovery, I guess i just do not understand this... Should not steps be to better yourself and better your lifeinstead of being hard on yourself as the big book suggests in the "how it works" section?If you find a higher power shouldnt the book suggest a loving god as we know him who does not want us to be hard on ourself?

Imagine you are living in the first Century in Asia Minor as a believer in Christ. The Roman Empire and the Jews are persecuting you at both sides. I am not talking about calling you names or treating you unkind. I mean they are putting you in jail, torture and putting you to death for being a Christian. Then along comes messengers, couriers, with letters from the Gospel Preacher/Apostle John. These letters spell out what the future of your enemy is and encourages you to remain faithful to Jesus Christ no matter what happens. How would you feel if you then were told that this letter from John wasn't meant for you but was meant for people in the distant future. What if you were told that these things John were speaking about were not going to happen in the first century AD and you have no hope of overcoming death from the hands of the Romans? Folks the letter we know as Revelation was indeed written to 7 churches in 1st Century Asai Minor and they knew exactly what it meant!

I would think that with having a birthmark for my entire 39 years of my life, I would get used to the idea of being asked about it but I guess I haven't yet... The question came up just yesterday twice with the childern at my sons new pre school. It is fairly easy to explain to inquesitive innocent 4 year old even though I try to wear makeup so that my face shows no sign of the evidence. However, its not as easy when it comes from a source trying to offer coverup solutions that they think will help my cause while I am shopping for toothpaste at a local Target. I have had someone come up to me and say they think the have a product that will help. I had not asked for help and generly am able to search for myself if I desire so. I once was asked at Halloween time in a fabric store if I was allready wearing my costume by a teanage boy... Anyone else have simmular expierences? How do you deal with all those that can't seem to deal with anything that is a bit more than average?
