If a woman is abused, raped, lied to, lied about, cheated on (but partner claims he didn't do it even when there were pictures) for 10 years & her husband is just starting to take medications that seem to work but every time he gets angry, cranky, or raises his voice, her fears that never leave become overwhelmingly strong. She married her rapist after several years, she spiritually thought it was the right thing to do. She hurt her body too many times & her baby died & though doctors say it was an infection, she blames herself. Since the abuse just recently stopped, her life is still filled with fear of further attacks & blame, anger, resentment, depression over a ruined life lost, time wasted. She cant sleep at nights & she cries wishing she had been killed like he told her he would. She has been broken into so many pieces that she thinks no one cares nor will fix her. She doesn't think anyone can fix her, especially not herself. & has self hatred & urges to cut & stab. There is no

Can Satan create things like God did?

If so, why didn't he just create his own universe to rule over if he wanted to be like God so much?

For me it is mans inherent desire to aspire to more than simply an animal. To embrace something beyond your material self whether that be humanity, god, or simply something unseen within yourself

Hi, I have this girl problem and I was searching it on the internet but still need more info. This question is really meant for muslim girls but a muslim boy can reply or a non muslim, anyways...I'm ganna start Martial arts soon and I have periods and that is really killing me. I wanted to use a tampon but my mother told me that tampons are haram (haram means bad) for unmarried muslim girls cause when you have sex with your husband, he will think that you had sex with another guy and stuff (they want tite things). If I was married then I will able to wear a tampon but I can't now! How can I wear a pad and do Martial arts cause you have to do lots of splits and high kicks and you also have to wear a white uniform! I just want to ask if tampons are really haram for unmarried muslim girls and for the girls, is there any other way to do Martial arts with a pad? I heard that you can wear a flexible pad and wear spandex and you can do sports cause it won't spill or slip off. Please Help!!

I've never met a 900 year old man, a person walking through fire (without some sort of protective gear), or someone coming back from the dead.

Things like this are commonplace in the bible, why not in modern times?

catholics are taught is wrong? like calling a priest "father," baptism saves you, your the true church and all others are going to hell,
putting to much praise into Mary, that Mary and the saints can save you when there is only ONE that can save. have you ever thought bout those things and thought bout scriptures that say otherwise? im not trying to sound mean or hateful but i just really would like to know.

You've seen them. The chick getting off the bus with the Gucci bag (FAKE!). The chick at the club with the fake Louis Vuitton bag (I know it's fake because she stepped out a 2000 Taurus), bling (fake), D&G frames she got off ebay or from the lady at the hair salon who has 100s of glasses in little baggies for $10 or 3 for $20. YET, late on bills, can't make car payment, rent late, etc.

What the heck is up with this. Is the media to blame? Why can't people just be happy with what they have and what they can afford instead of trying to be something they're not.

I personally vowed to never buy a fake bag or real one for that matter until I was driving in a Mercedes that I bought with my own credit.

Millions of people know that holidays like Christmas and Easter have pagan origins, but it doesn't really matter to them because they don't "celebrate it that way." As long as they are mainly celebrating the birth and resurrection of Jesus with only a little bit of Santa Claus or the Easter bunny "for the kids" then God understands.

G-d has a memory. Those who are His want to honor and worship Him in truth. According to His Word, how we choose to do so is important to Him. G-d tells us not to learn the ways of the heathen (Jer.10:2) or inquire about how pagan nations serve their gods.

"You shall not worship the L-rd your G-d in that way" (Deut. 12:31).

The broad, easy path that this world loves is paved with good intentions but it leads to destruction. The decisions we make in life as Christians aren't to be based on how we feel or Mom feels but how G-d feels. That's what you do to truly honor the one you love above all others.

Thursday?

I am a total atheist and some would say i am one of the asshole atheist that attack christians. I am sure you know the type. However i read the Tao te ching recently and i must say i found what it said to be quite powerful. It is an atheistic/pantheistic religion that offer alot to how a human aspiring to be more than animal can be truly spiritual. Has anybody else read it and felt the same?

Every year I go to this one particular church's "attic & cellar sale." In years past they had the whole parking lot full of tables of stuff to sell as well as a few rooms in the church itself, and it was good quality like depression glass, collectible china like Wedgwood, knick-knacks, cookware, household things, new carpeting, furniture and clothing, etc. I was appalled this year. There were only 3 or four tables of stuff and it was broken toys and plastic ice cube trays and paperback books with the covers ripped off. No furniture or clothes or antiques. And it just isn't this church either, although it is an extreme example. I have noticed a gradual decline in the quality and quantity of donated items. I have even called churches that I know have upcoming white elephant sales and offered to donate items from my house, but they either don't return my calls or promise to come but never show up. What gives?
