Qu'est-ce qui donne à penser que les nouveaux parents de Jessica ne pourront pas lui accorder les meilleurs soins?

That's the question I need help with to find out the meaning of what it's asking for. It's about the case of Jessica with her parent trouble

Can anyone out there tell me what the common words mean, such as "dar," "die," and "ich"?
I'm really just confused because the way I'm learning it it teaches you words you'll never need to know like "bodybuilder" and it doesn't tell you very common words.
So please, if anyone can tell me very common words like: the, this, so, hers, his, its, a, i, am, in, and short, common words used in almost every sentence.

Why doesn't God treat "offenders" (people who don't obey his commandments, laws or will) the same way we treat criminals?

If you kill someone, he limits your will (kind of like putting you in "spiritual leash"). If you rape or torture someone, he limits your will. If you lie too many times, he limits your will.

I know that he wants you to live your life, make your own decisions, save or condemn yourself accordingly, but if your sinful actions effect others, and possibly even endanger their chances of being saved, why wouldn't God choose the lesser of two evils, limiting you so that many others might be spared the harm you would cause?

And remember, he's God, so he could find a way to do it perfectly, right?

How can I do that? My mom is Catholic, but I want to go to a church that is more involved. I want to have more faith and become more religious. And also can I convince another person, for example my husband to do so also?

Does it mean they no longer apply?
Or does it mean now you can just pick and choose the ones you like?

Quran 2:106 “ None of Our revelations do We abrogate (annul, change) or cause to be forgotten, BUT We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?” http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/002.qmt.html

Ok, so nothing in the Quran is changed except for something "similar" or "better". If the Quran allows itself to be changed for something better, how could it be from God?

God is perfect, and thus writes no imperfection. Its impossible to improve perfection, therefore, unless the Quran were written by men, there could never be any allowance for changing its written word.

Again, the Quran says that we can "substitute" the speech in the Quran for "something better". How can you better God? Its obvious whoever wrote this part of the Quran, was hedging and trying to make room to cure mistakes that he might have missed with his intial copies.

I was riding on the bus today for a feild trip and my friend was talking to one of out guy friends. She was talking about how she liked another girl and talking about her like "cause she's pretty and awsome" and stuff like that. I really didn't think she was talking about me...
but later that ride she and a diffrent guy friend were talking quietly and out of no where she goes, "Marissa, I want you." I was a little confused at first so I just gave a tiny laugh like what? So she says "I mean I really want you."

So now I have no idea what to do... I mean I want to think that she was just kidding about that... but what if she wasnt? she didn't say something like 'just kidding' or something... >.<
Should I start talking about a guy that I happen to like now, even though I really dont want to tell anyone that I like him... grrr what do I DO?!

p.s. I have absolutly NOTHING against gays. this is my second friend who is bi-sexual or gay, just the first time someone has liked me...

Why does the Catholic church refuse to accept birth control?
Why do we continue to destroy rainforests to raise cattle when the grain it takes to produce one beef burger could feed 40 people?
How can we as a species ever create a world that works for everyone?

Because they are superstitious (Islamic jihad terrorists). They believe that they will get heaven for dieing in Jihad. They also believe that they won't go to heaven if someone pours pig fat on them even after they died for the cause of Allah.

It was done before when someone found out about this superstition & it worked. There were less attacks.

I read this for the 1st time in
http://www.lyitl.org/koran/index.html

Of course this would work only for Islamic Jihad terrorist, not other types.

Someone said this to me

"If your book makes around three hundred predictions about something thats going to happen hundreds of years from now and they all come true, as they did with the Bible, maybe then people will take you seriously."

Which, of the "300 predictions" have come true?

As a Christian, I don't force my beliefs on anyone....I will tell you what I believe, because I am told to by the Bible, but it is up to you whether you believe what I believe (God gave men free choice). I wanted to state that before I got into this discussion:

I have seen a lot of people on here talking about how there isn't one right way, or that they don't believe that God would make just one way to heaven. Why do you believe this? If there are any science-minded people on here, you know that there is only one scientific explanation for the things on earth (physics, chemistry, biology-all based on what we believe to be one explanation for things...gravity....atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons etc.) there aren't two explanations that are accepted for why things fall to earth. In the same way, I don't see how someone can think that there are multiple ways especially when these ways contradict each other. I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'd just like to know what you think..

I am gay myself to start off, but not an stereotipical gay.. So, I have two lectures with this guy. In my Chem class, I sit in the front row and he sits close to me. In my other lecture he sits farther away, but introduced himself to me the second day. He has talked to me since then. He attracts me very much, by the way.

...and I would like some advice on things not to mention in his presence. I just want to make sure I don't disrespect him or his religion in any way. Also if anyone can give me a quick basic tutorial that would be awesome to. And if you are going to be rude don't bother answering. SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!!!

Okay, so you say I don't believe the right doctrine and everything (baptist), so why don't you tell me why I should believe what you do? Give me some reasons. What DO you believe? And how come it is it seems the only religions really trying to convince others to get saved are the baptists and protestant? Don't you care about people's destination and if they are going to Hell or not? What is your 'plan of Salvation' or do even have one? When was the Catholic church started and who founded it? Why did he found it?

Please answer as many of these questions as possible. Thanx.

A lot of people who had bought tickets to go to America on the Tintanic, would not go because of the gut feelings they had. My friend had an urge to take a day off work because of a feeling she had she got, she didnt and got knocked down on her road to work. Anyone else had these things happen to them.
