My last question like this was removed, I guess I worded it wrong?

When was the first reported stigmata? Were there any studies done on it?

Atheism is not a club desperate for members... like Christianity is.

The apostles saw Jesus before he ascended to Heaven.
John 20:27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

Many people see their loved ones doing things around the house just like they did before their body died. Some talk with their loved ones after death. We know we are surrounded by spirits and angels all of the time. How is this possible if a person's soul goes immediately to Heaven after they die?

Luke 23:42 The thief on a cross said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” 43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”Even on the Cross, Jesus says, "Father, into thy hands I commit my Spirit".

Is there any other mention in God's Word, after Jesus died for our sins and arose from dead, of people seeing their loved ones after their body has died but they have not yet gone to Heaven?

I grew up in a very superstitious household. My parents and aunts, although very religious, would become upset if someone inadvertantly passed the broom over thier feet. They did things like leaving food out for the "haints" and would prepare cabbage and black eyed peas and nail a leaf of cabbage above the door on new years day. All of this was to either to bring good luck or prevent bad luck. Do you believe any of these superstions? Do you not believe them per se but practice them anyway the way some of my relatives do? Their reasoning is "Just in case, it's true I don't want to tempt fate" Do you have other superstitions that you hold to? Why?

This question has been on my mind and needs answered......
If a Christian woman is raped or abused by a man who looks like Jesus, what will she do? Change Religions? Or will she stay in church and continue to worship Him? Or will she try to find another religion of a God that doesn't look like Jesus?

When the majority of business men are mean people who exlpoit anything they can get there hands on. I had to ask this because I was personally insulted by the yahoo ad about the "business god" what a pedestal to put someone on. I have also experienced the world of business first hand, I had to get out of it as I never realised how shady you have to be. Another thing, why are people who cheat benefits considered criminals when business people who dodge taxes creatively called "gods"?

As accent is the determining factor, to low and high linguistic cultures, like in german! German high, is a fluid,easy but rapid speech, due to the simplification of the accent. The low german is the more gutteral brogue, with thick heavy deep, long, accentuations! This is the same patern, as the northern, united states,("high"?), and the southern united states,("low"?) ?

Praise be to Allaah ...

Kull ‘aam wa antum bi khayr

This is great congratulations to every muslim in every point around the world and I ask Allaah for many happy returns for this ummah ... Ameen

Alhamdulillah .. And with Allaah's bounty we reached Ramadan and we also have left this holy month 2 days ago ...
And every muslim should ask himself (what's next??)

I'd like to say that if a Muslim continues to have the patience to do righteous deeds after Ramadaan, this is a sign that his (fasting) has been accepted by his Lord, the Most Generous, the Bestower of blessings. If he fails to do righteous deeds after Ramadaan, and follows the ways of the Shaytaan, this is a sign of humiliation, meanness, lowly status and being deprived of the help of Allaah.

So I'd like every muslim to share and answer this question
Did you TRULY give Ramadan its rights and try as hard as you caould to seize every single second???

Have you ever stepped aside knowing that the one you love deserves better? Was it worth the sacrifice or did you regret it later?

Do you think he may of had a psychic twinkle cause he did the song Radio Ga Ga.
It seemed to me he was picking up a future event cause it is true all you do hear is Radio Ga Ga when you put the Radio on never any good music.

I recall hearing, many years ago, that a person could not be declared insane - no matter how obviously loopy they were - if their delusions were religious in nature.

Though I expect that this was a piece of anti-religious propaganda (yes, we do it too), and I've not heard it repeated since, I wondered if anyone could shed light on the origin of this rumour. Was there a specific incident where a nutter got off by pleading religiosity? Is there an ancient law that approximates this rule?

Serious question. Serious data appreciated.

To me this verse is one of the most important verse and muslims should be reminded that they will be judged for their interpretation of the Qu'ran:

----
The Family of Imran
[3.7] He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are decisive, they are the basis of the Book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none do mind except those having understanding.
----

God is testing you in the Qur'an itself so everytime somebody comes to you with one of these "allegorical" verses that apparently justify killing or beating try to exercise logic and see if there is a clearer verse on the matter somewhere else.

I used to ride in horse shows all the time, my old friend was always there and always won all of the western pleasure classes. One class A show she won all day long. My friends little daughter born deaf was there with her horse and never even got a nod all day long. The Jack Benny class came up (over 39) I rode my friends horse and painted my face purple, dressed up like an idiot and put my entry # on upside down. No one knew who I was, in the final line up my best friend was beside me. She said--Odie, is that you--I said shhhh. Well lo and behold I beat my old pal Leah. We had such good laughs, I even had my chest stuffed with dish towels with roosters on them, some guy hit on me on my way back to the trailer and I pulled out my rooster towels. Chooks rule. Here's to Leah, one hell of a horse woman. clink!! May she get a turn on a unicorn or Pegasus!!

All you so called Christians , When you get a chance to speak up for Jesus in this crowd of unbelievers and the only thing that rouses you is to attack one of your own.
You are the ones sneaking out the door while the preacher asks for volunteers.
Your enemy is Satan why don't you act like you have some guts and stand up to him?
Might offend some Pagan or atheist and that would be un Christian.
And you wonder why God loves His Jews first.
