Society & Culture - 17 September 2007

You know what it is, that inner fight to help others out when you see cabinets are bare, soap powder box empty, 3 dollars of gas in the car, clothes getting worn out from repeated washes and no new clothes to replace the old, and they tell you over and over they are broke and can't go here or there. Do you justify yourselves by saying they should get a job, even if it is obvious there is low employment in the area? Or do you hand them 5 or 10 dollars that barely buys a gallon of milk? Fess up!

why don't people understand the fact that jesus did walk the earth and did die for our sins!

in psalm 14 it says that people who don't believe this will be in big trouble.

what are your opinions.

I feel that I recently made a huge mistake, in something that happened...

I was talking to a friend, a few days ago, and we were simply joking around. He said, "you know, you can be really mean sometimes!," saying it as a joke.

I said, "Yes, but you love me anyway," and he responded differently than I expected--"You know, it's funny you mention that. I really love you." I thought he was simply kidding, as we'd been doing all afternoon, and though I DO love him, I didn't say it back; I just laughed.

Despite the fact that I love him, since I didn't say it back, he said he felt "stupid, and uncomfortable." Now, I feel like dirt.

I sent him a letter, saying that I do love him, and explained everything--but still, I feel so low, because he seemed so hurt by it.

Anything you know of, that I can do??

As a nation(America) who moved from compassionate conservatism to the new and “progressive” age of intolerance, why is it so many of my friends feel like society has cheated them when:

1. They don’t mean what they say, and they don’t say what they mean
2. They don’t start what they finish…like higher education for starters
3. They believe society OWES them something for doing NOTHING
4. They are obsessed with celebrities which are “famous for being famous”
5. Abortion is a form of birth-control
6. Ethics and morals apply to them when they are on the RECEIVING end, not
the other way around…
7. 50% believe a lottery ticket is a better investment than a 401(K)
8. 37% would plan to change their 2nd most expensive purchase they will ever
make(a car) based…are you ready?....a better CUP-HOLDER to hold that
128 oz Coke (hold the diabetes, please).
9. Winning at ALL costs…cheating is now a way to get what you deserve


We DO reap what we sow...even people who hate God.

I have been dating this girl who is overall pretty cool, but doesn't seem to show much regard for how I keep my living space. She likes to come over and cook for the two of us---which is great---but she never cleans up the mess, or even offers to help. She's also like that if she comes over and has a drink or snack with me. In fact, she'll usually just leave the empty (or half empty) glass or plate on the kitchen table or coffee table.

The other night, she came over and cooked dinner. After she finished, I commented on how we should probably clean everything up. She said we didn't need to. I then remarked on how I had noticed that she never cleaned up or even picked up after herself when she was over. She looked at me like I had suddenly grown another head and said, "But you're a GUY! Guys aren't supposed to care about that!"

There is so much acceptance and justification in the Old Testament in regards to rape, slavery, murder, killing people "because God said so", etc. When I bring this up Christians tell me that is why it is "outdated" and why most Christians follow the New Testament. Since that's when Jesus was 'sent' to wash away the sins. '

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it the S-A-M-E God in the OT as in the NT? Did he realize he messed up and therefore needed to send a 'present' to right the wrongs? Or did he see his current plan of action wasn't working? Either way, this means he is not "all knowing", right??

At my school i know a few people who do not believe in God.
I know that for me I had some questions but as i began to throw out wordly things and open up my heart God started to reveal things to me. But what really had to take place wa God showing me who he really was. I sat on the frount row during my baptizim when i finally realized that God was who he is. I confessed with my life and believed with my faith on July 28th that jesus was my personal savior. I know tha it's going to take pray and minstering but how else would u handle this. how do u know for sure that the holy spirt is with you.
