In a lot of Latin American countries, the simple phrase for an agreement or afirmation is the same as American English, "Ok".

In Castilian they use the word, "baile", or "vaile" which also means "dance".

Is this right? ¡Gracias para su ayuda!

belief are "ignorant" or "uneducated" is wrong, don't you agree?
A person Must think their own belief true because if he didn't , it would not be his belief. If you think the thing true, of course you must think the opposite false!!

I believe the deciples had this gift, and the Lord brought it up to me in a dream, and I have not spoke about it with him for a while. The dream was about the church, and it showed this photo album, I could not see the sins of the christians, but everyone eles
I saw them from head to toe. One of the reasons why I need to become perfect in Christ, so I can point peoples sins out to them and that they need a savior.

what bible verse is it that says the deciples had this kind of gift?

In Matthew 26:6-13, it narrates of Jesus dining with Simon the leper in Bethany, Judaea. A woman came and poured on Jesus’ head a very precious ointment. Was this woman Mary Magdalene?

In Mark 14:3-9, it narrates of the same event as in Matthew 26:6-13.

However in John 12:1-8, it narrates of the same event at the same time but in the house of Lazarus. Was it Mary, the sister of Lazarus, that is referred to in the event?

According to the Holy Spirit we talk to, there was no Bible before. The descendants of the apostles dug into the notes of the apostles and pieced together the notes to form the stories. It seems that this account in John should agree with the account in Matthew and in Mark. And the Mary mentioned here is most likely Mary Magdalene and not Lazarus’ sister.

Another thing is that this event may be the same event in Luke 7:36-50 in Galilee early in the ministry of Jesus wherein Jesus dined with Simon and a sinful woman poured oil to wash Jesus’ feet.

The traditional title of Messiah, or "anointed one" was an honorary title of God's appointed King/Prophet of the Israelites.

Saul was a messiah, David was a Messiah, Zedekiah, the last king of Israel of the line of Judah was a Messiah

The word “Messiah” is an English rendering of the Hebrew word “Mashiach”, whose translation is “Anointed”. It usually refers to a person initiated into G-d’s service by being anointed with oil. (Having oil poured on his head. Cf. Exodus 29:7, I Kings 1:39, II Kings 9:3).

There are many Messiahs in the Bible. Since every King and High Priest/pastor was anointed with oil, each may be referred to as “an anointed one” (a Mashiach or a Messiah).

For example: “G-d forbid that I [David] should stretch out my hand against the L-rd’s Messiah [Saul]...”

I Samuel 26:11. Cf. II Samuel 23:1, Isaiah 45:1, Psalms 20:6.


Jesus is called THE MESSIAH because he was to be the last and final Israelite Prophet who was sent as a last chance redemption for the Jews (who had killed so many Prophets).

Christians have changed the meaning of Messiah to mean a GOD or a saviour for the whole world.

I have a tendancy to get into tit for tat arguments I dont want to be in. For example to use a trivial instance, today at work we were talking about winning the lottery and what we would do with the money. Others were saying fairly small scale things such as 'buy a car'. I said I would like to win 20 million - causing a workmate to say she would prefer 20 people to get a million each. I said I would give 19 people a million each out of my 20, to wich a guy said 'I really doubt that'. I thought that comment was a little insulting and didnt want to let it pass, so said something - he said something to top it - putting me in the position of eating it, or escalating a silly argument. How do others disagree and defend themselves without this happening?

and here is the translation for the Arabic...

I bear witness none is worthy of worship but Allah and I bear witness Muhammad is the Last Messenger of Allah.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
The Beneficent, the Merciful.
Master of the Day of Judgment.
Thee alone we worship; Thee alone we ask for help.
Show us the straight path.
The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not the path of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.

It obviously doesn't We have religious leaders who are scumbags..we have atheists who are public servants and live good clean lives.

Humanity's understanding of right vs wrong has evolved over time. We once thought slavery was ok and religion said cool..we thought it was ok to kill for most crimes..now we don't agree.

People have been working with morality since dawn of time and all religions had good vs bad. So either all those Gods are valid and provided the morals....or morality is not exclusive to religion

Morality and honor....and what God, if any, one believes in seem to be 2 seperate issues.

Sparkles is bringing the best recipes and John is our cook. So you dont have to worry about food but You can bring any of these few options. Compassion, Love, Peace, Humility, Courtesy, Piety, Truth, Justice, Care or something similar. Sorry you cannot bring Hugs since Pangel is already bringing loads of them. You surely don't want to miss it because we have also called CrimmsonandClover to tell us Ghost stories in heaven. So what are you bringing?

Ok, maybe this is because English is not my first language, but here goes.
I always learned/thought "adultry" is the act of sleeping around if you're married, or sleeping around with someone who is married.

But recently I've seen Christians here use the word for pre-marital sex. What's up with that? Is this the correct term? And do religious texts reflect this? Does the Bible/Koran/Torah/Add your own book differentiate between the two acts, or do they consider it the same? Because it seems to me they are not at all the same (if only because there's a difference in involving others or not)

So, could you please clarify this for me? What's the difference, if any? Where does it say so in you Holy Book of choice? I'd prefer actual sources over personal, opinions, if possible.

The Jews rejected Christ.
You can believe one or the other.
I choose to believe the word of God.
The Qu'ran teaches Jesus is the word of God.
What did Jesus say that the Jews rejected?

John 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

Satan hurled 2 accusations at God: "You're not just and You have no love." In response to these accusations God did the following.


1. He created man, a being vastly inferior to the angels but sharing with them the properties of intellect, agency (power of choice) and eternal life, and gave him dominion over Planet Earth.
2. He gave man a set of rules to live by, and ordained that obedience to them was a requirement for life. Any violations (sins), even those committed only in the mind, would be punishable by death. There were no loop holes, and no one would escape judgment. Perfect justice.


3. He sent His Son to live a life in total compliance to these rules, the only man ever to do so, granting Him the right to govern the universe and receive all its worth as His inheritance.
4. He gave His Son's life to purchase a pardon for all whose sins would require judgment, decreeing that by accepting His death as payment for their sins they would also receive eternal life and share in this inheritance as His adopted children. Perfect Love.

Does that fact makes any sense whatsoever from a "divine" perspective? Don't you see that Evolution is more than just a theory?
