Didn't Jesus know the difference between dead and sleep?Did someone put that in to clarify what was really happening. The one exception was Lazarus. That one is usually considered to be a tall tale.

They use the court systems to further their advantage but they don't participate in politics (well, except for the United Nations, undercover, that is).

They won't go to war but claim privilege and holiness because of being persecuted for freedoms they won't defend but fought hard for by others?

Today I just found out that one of my friends on her way to England tried to assault and kill her companions...mother, father friends etc...She whom Jesus was the air she breathe, the essence of her life...she just gone mad...she's back here now...She shouted during the assault that "she is God and she was sent to England to purify it". I should know that it's just one of his mysterious ways...but why ? why one such as her ?

hey I need this corrected bitte! (my attempt) :
(what I want to say is at the bottom)

"Ich denke das Faust hat nicht vollig die details der vertrage, das er hat mit der teufel unterschrieben vesteht. Er hat nicht gedacht, das die 24 jahren wurden so schnell vergangen. Es war interessant, das die nacht er weisst war seiner letzte, er hat es mit seiner studenten verbringen beschliesst. Und auch wie trotz der furchtbar realitat er konfrontiert (sich?)mit , er schafft (to bring to life someone as beautiful as Helen of Troy)"
no idea how to translate that...

I think that Faust did not completely understand all of the details of the contract he signed wit the devil. He did not think that the 24 years would pass so quickly. It was interesting that the night he knew was his last, he decided to spend with his students. And also in spite of the horrible reality he would soon face, he managed to bring to life someone as beautiful as Helen of Troy.

Danke!

Having just wandered in today, I find R&S one of the most interesting places on Answers. I realize that having to dodge pirates probably doesn't happen every day, but aside from that, are my first impressions correct?
- the most predominant voices here are pretty much equally divided between Christians and atheists.
- About half of the Christians are arguing with each other about who's right, saved/not saved, a real Christian, etc.
- The Catholics are pretty much the most reasonable Christians, as a group. At least they're not into slamming everybody else.
- The pagans are pretty cool, for the most part, and seem to be the least likely to slam anybody.
- The atheists here like to goad fundamentalists just to get a reaction.
- If you're easily hurt or offended, this probably isn't the best place to be.

So do I have it, pretty much? I'd love to hang out here, just want to make sure I have the lay of the land. Um -- arrrrr.

Why is it, when someone asks a question, if you don't like it why do you report it? Why can't you give it a thumbs down and move on? Someone asked a question that The Virgin Mary did not consent. What's the problem with it? No one is asking you to agree with what another person thinks. They're just looking for opinions.

saying that people should stop playing the race card in this case. Uhh, do you remember the horror stricken faces of White Americans in this country when the not guilty verdict was read, and the party like behavior of African Americans? Almost every single AP poll showed a significant amount of Caucasians believed he did it while most Blacks didn't think he was guilty. Even people who didn't know much about the case were choosing sides based on what race they were, which proved there is still a significant racial divide in this country. There was that lynch mob mentality then, and there's that lynch mob mentality now. If O.J.'s wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman, had been black, would most of you even care? The media definitely wouldn't have showed as much interest as they do now. Remember this has nothing to do with whether he did it or not, but I hate when people are in self denial over the fact that most people's perspective on him has a racial impetus.

Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?---Martin Luther (Germany)

“What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews?
First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a cinder or stone of it. And this ought to be done for the honour of God and of Christianity, in order that God may see that we are true Christians.
Secondly, their homes should be likewise broken down and destroyed.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayerbooks and talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threats of death to teach anymore.” – Martin Luther

“If I find a Jew to baptize, I shall lead him to the Elbe bridge, hang a stone around his neck, and push him into the water, baptizing him with the name of Avraham!.. I cannot convert the Jews. Our lord Christ did not succeed in doing so; but I can close their mouths so that there will be nothing for them to do but to lie upon the ground.” – Martin Luther

“I hope I shall never be so stupid as to be circumcised; I would rather cut off the left breast of my Catherine and of all women.” --- Martin Luther

“If we are to remain unsullied by the blasphemy of the Jews and not wish to take part in it, we must be separated from them and they must be driven out of the country.” – Martin Luther

Jesus did not call them Abraham's children, but a "brood of vipers" [Matt. 3:7]. Oh, that was too insulting for the noble blood and race of Israel, and they declared, "He has a demon' [Matt 11:18]. Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore in John 8 [:39,44] he states: "If you were Abraham's children ye would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil. It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.------Martin Luther

Learn from this, dear Christian, what you are doing if you permit the blind Jews to mislead you. Then the saying will truly apply, "When a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into the pit" [cf. Luke 6:39]. You cannot learn anything from them except how to misunderstand the divine commandments...------Martin Luther

St. John Chrysostom: “I know that many people hold a high regard for the Jews and consider their way of life worthy of respect at the present time... This is why I am hurrying to pull up this fatal notion by the roots ... A place where a whore stands on display is a whorehouse. What is more, the synagogue is not only a whorehouse and a theater; it is also a den of thieves and a haunt of wild animals ... not the cave of a wild animal merely, but of an unclean wild animal ... When animals are unfit for work, they are marked for slaughter, and this is the very thing which the Jews have experienced. By making themselves unfit for work, they have become ready for slaughter. This is why Christ said: “as for my enemies, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them and slay them before me’ (Luke 19.27).”

“I do insist on the certainty that sooner or later – once we hold power – Christianity will be overcome and the German Church established. Yes, the German church, without a Pope and without the bible, and Luther, if he could be with us, would give us his blessing.” (Adolf Hitler, Hitler’s speeches, edited by Prof. N.H. Baynes [oxford, 1942], pg. 369.)

"I thank heaven for a man like Adolf Hitler, who built a front line of defense against the anti-Christ of Communism." — Frank Buchman (1878-1961), U.S. evangelist, 1936
