2 Samuel 21:19 There was another battle with the Philistines in Gob, in which Elhanan, son of Jair from Bethlehem, killed Goliath of Gath, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver's heddle-bar.

Now before some one brings up 1 Chr 20:5 please go do some research to see that the original Hebrew does not contain "Lahmi the brother of Goliath ". It was added later to try to "harmonize the text" and place the honour onto David with no more contradiction. Below is a link since I am sure I will be asked for one.

These are parts of the novel Vernon God Little, that I've translated it in Persian.
Thank you for your kind help.

In Psalm 2:7, the Lord said to David: "...Thou art my son: this day have I begotten thee."

Does this mean that God had two sons or are some people playing with translations and the double meanings of words ?

(Matthew 5:45, 48). Luke 3:38 says: "...Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the Son of God."

I wear cargo shorts and a Tshirt that says nothing in particular on it most of the time and my hair is in fairly good order and i think i look normal and i dont smell bad and im not really ugly (as far as i know) and whenever i go to the library at my school(i go to college) i dont make any noise. The tables in the library are like twenty feet long and have multiple seats where people sit and study. Keeping this in mind, today i went to the library to study and i sat down at a table at the opposite corner seat from some girl my age who was sitting at the other corner of the table and she got up and left right away. Noone else sat down at my table for the rest of the time i was there. Other tables had people coming and going the whole time. I think theres some kind of mean spirited conspiracy in the library to not sit at my table. I can't concieve of any other reason. I might be wrong but thats not how the evidence looks. damn evil library bastards

Does one get " ajr" for starting a scholarship program for students?
Anyone worthy of the scholarship can be awarded and not just people who might be in financial need.

Our recently opened hotel - McTealc Towers is proving popular with our monied cousins from the Americas.

We have a family booking for 18 from a family hailing from Utah. That might be a struggle. We need more staff.

I have offered the job of security to a dour Scot by the name of McTealc - I am hoping that his dedication to duty will keep him from the ample charms of some of the ladies - although they tend to keep themselves close to the restaurant and kitchen.

I thought for the gentlemen a buxom wench from the Antipodes and a rough sense of humour may be an attraction - she drinks, but I will keep an eye on the bar when she is around.
She can look after room service. N0 - SHE REALLY CAN!

So now we need to fill the posts of cook and hall porter.

I thought of head hunting a handsome chap by the name of GOLDWING from California - as hall porter he could act as translater too.

Lord knows - these folk don't know their trunks from cases nor bonnets from hoods!

Did Muhammad or Allah know they were believed to be one God? The only thing I see in the Qu'ran is th trinity linked other Gods to Allah as Allah, Jesus and Mary.
Why would Allah not know who the trinty is?
Isn't it interestng that with all of the teaching in the Qu'ran against the trinity it does not explain what the trinity is?
Can anyoen direct me to a sura or hadith that shows Muhamamd even knew the trinity was Father, Son and Holy Spirit and not Allah, Jesus and Mary?

My twin sister & one of my brothers tell me that something seriously bad has happened, & then they sound overly dramatic like it was the worst things in the world. & then when you ask what happened, they say, "Well, it's not that big of a deal." & then they sort of play mind games & waste my time. My brother just did that to me, & now I'm so annoyed! He told me about something bad happening in the family, & then he said if I find out, I won't be able to bear or handle it, & then when I asked what happened, he said it wasn't that big of a deal. He wasted 30 of my prepaid minutes of my phone just to beat around the bushes. If you don't trust me, then why do you waste my time to even START to tell me something? & my twin sister does this, too.

Whats wrong? You know it is a filthy habit. You know others find you repulsive. Just don't have the guts to quit? You had rather have others lost all respect for you than to give up one filthy suck hadnt you? well they have. No one respects you, not even your loved ones. They cringe when you light up..

I need to know briefly how our society handles death (not the grieving process or anything but the actions that need to take place...)

like, if for example a family member died in the bed upstairs, would the first action be calling a mortuary or whatever?

basically what happens to the dead person and the dead person's family in between the time upon noticing the death to when they are completely burried?

I have heard that the Spanish in Mexico, you could hear a english influence by listening to thier speech (or their pronunciation) I am not talking about Spanglish words (anglicismos). in a dictionary it was saying that you could hear that the Mexican people spoke differently, or maybe I was wrong
