Moses' parents were both Levites. He was not born into the tribe of Judah.

Please note, a descendant of Judah (a Jew) is a member of the House Of Israel. However, a member of the House Of Israel is not necessarily a Jew.

Everybody says that asking questions to satisfy one's curiosity is good for the soul and that there is no such thing as a "stupid question".

Do you really truly believe that there is no such thing as a "stupid question"?

What about those people who merely wants to get on your nerves by asking ridiculous questions, oftentimes they know the answer as well?

Trick question: Would you consider THIS question to be a "stupid question" then?

When are these two particualar things supposed to happen?

My brother recently converted to Mormonism in order to marry his fiancee, whose family has been involved in the Latter Day Saints church since before she was born. I didn't realize how little I (or probably most Americans of other denominations) did not know about this denomination. In my personal estimation, it is a cult, since it both adds to and takes away from the basic tenets of Christianity, while still holding to the claim that they serve the same God and believe in Jesus as the son of God and savior. At any rate, I just don't get this garment wearing protocol, or why it's deemed necessary. I read that after marriage, they are to keep their white temple garments on and touching at least some part of their bodies at all times, even during bathing, and shouldn't let them touch the floor ever. Do all Mormons follow this tradition? And exactly what is the purpose of a white session envelope? I saw one advertised online for LDS families, and it even had a diagram next to the photo.

"Im ex military, and served my country, bet you never made the sacrifice-----most atheists are self centered only, and cannot sacrifice for others."

What kind of heavy narcotics is this boob on? I guess the fact that I was Navy SEAL, as was Lord Set, doesn't count? Does the sacrifices of the atheist veterans not count because we don't agree with Christians? This comment was from some twit using the name Lover of God. Your opinions please.

I don't know much about paganism, except for what I have looked up on the internet or heard from others. Pardon me for being ignorant about the subject, but I felt I was being told things that were a matter of opinion or personal preference (depending on who you practice with). I've gotten different information. The information I'm looking for is in reference to haircuts. I have a male employee who works for me and because of our type of employment, he has to maintain a certain standard for haircuts. He stated it was against his pagan religion to cut his hair. Now I don't disrespect anyone's religion, my problem is.... if it's your religion then fine I will try my best to find a balance between his job and religion. But I do not like anyone lying about any religion or using it for their convenience. If someone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. I tried looking it up and I couldn't find anything as of yet. Thxs

Nowadays we observe that the world is facing so many problems that cannot be solved by men alone. Problems that involved all of us and even the future generation. We are facing the global warming to be exact. It is predicted that 50 yrs from now, if it is not cured, all of us might be destroyed. Now, we have only one hope, the miracle of God. Do you believe in that?

In mumbai city, i get this feeling that people are little hesitant towards registering any complaints with the police. One of the reasons that i feel is the fear of rampant corruption ,specially if the defendant is an influential personality. I know that mumbai police can be the best in the world, after scotland yard. What role can the youths of mumbai play to improve the image of mumbai police and to regain the lost public confidence.

I mean it's God we're talking about not malibu barbie,get serious.How could limited mortal beings expect to fully understand the eternal creator,don't you think you could be in a little over your head on that one? Are some so arrogant as to believe they are equals with God and should know all His secrets,even suggest that they know BETTER? This notion is both the height and depth of ignorance.If I were God I certainly wouldn't feel obligated to reveal anything to any of my creation,they could take me or leave me on their faith alone.If they consciously chose to scoff at me and disbelieve...well I'm sure I could think of a thing or two to make things right in the LONG run.

In the past I asked this question to atheist “how do you think the universe is going to end?” some of them answered “The universe will most likely end in about 5 billion years when then sun has converted all its hydrogen into helium. It will then morph from its current form (a yellow dwarf) into a red giant. It will then completely burn the Earth.”
Another answer was “The universe was created by a collision of dust particles and other masses. I believe this b/c (no offense) but how can a man created the universe in 7 days. What is he a magician? im sorry i dont buy it. The universe is going to end in billions of years due to the explosion of the sun.”
We can clearly see how ignorant these atheists are…



They don’t have an education in physics, yet they believe that the universe will end due to the explosion of our sun LMAO

what a shame!
