What I mean is our blueprint is a highly detailed road map of the route we intend to take.
Since we were a thought of God....God had a plan for us as he thought about us before He created us..... Therefore within ourselves we all know what our personal purpose is.

additional information.... IF we were able to know what our pass life prupose was, we then know what this life purpose is. Since it was in our blueprints from the moment God thought of us, and the plan He created from thought.

What are your thoughts on this, and what is your life purpose?

Will you be joining? Please don't take me seriously!

Victoria Beckham has launched a personal blog about her fabulously fashionable life, aptly titled DVB Style. At long last an admired style icon shares her style savvy with those who envy her. Beckham has topped so many best dressed lists, she has very strong ties with the biggest designers, and even has her own line, DVB, with soccer star husband, David.

The blog of one of the fashion world’s most envied celebrities gives visitors a sneak peek into her luxurious life in Louboutins, Manolos and sky-high Jimmy Choos. Posh lets us follow her to the world’s grandest fashion shows. Most recently, she escorted fans to Paris fashion week. She shares exclusive photos and detailed highlights of her glamorous days of luxe indulgence.

This could, by far, be one of her best publicity stunts to date.

I am writing a paper on religion and can't remember this word. Anyone know? *PLEASE* don't give me huge pep talks on what I should or should not believe, and please understand that this question has nothing to do with my personal beliefs. I'm just looking for a word for what I want to say in my paper.

Why white people can get away with the insanity plea when they commit crimes but black people can't? Are white people mentally insane and black people can't get away with mental insanity? You never hear a black person trying to use the insanity plea. Even when black people try to use the insanity plea, nobody ever believes them. I always hear white people using the insanity plea for all kinds of crimes. Ya'll ever notice this?

When The Holy Quran in Arabic is same all over the world, how come there are so many versions (translations) available in other languages i.e. English, Urdu, Chinese, French, Germen, Hindi etc?

Is there any authority who can assume the responsibility to give assurance to the Muslims all over the world that The Holy Quran they study in their local language is exactly the same Quran which is revealed in Arabic language?

Is there any possibility that the authority who assumes the responsibility certifies a translated copy of The Holy Quran in every language which is distributed to relevant countries?

One such translated copy in each language may be held at some Library for future references.

Can you name the basic virtues of a Greek Trojan warrior such as Achilles. I am comparing and contrasting the Norse epic hero Beowulf with the Greek Trojan warrior Achilles. I am familiar with the the 9 Norse virtues and I need the same for the Trojans, or Achilles himself would be better.

is it to throw away your sense of logic and reason and follow anything that you're told?

is it a decision to be brainwashed? or are they just victims of brainwashing?

not that I want to become one (hell, no way!), but I am just sincerely wondering.

The dictionary says "good" is to be "morally excellent." Let s look at God s moral standard the Ten Commandments, and see how we do. Is God first in your life? Do you love Him with "heart, mind, soul and strength?" Have you made a god to suit yourself? Have you used His name in vain? Have you always honored your parents? Have you looked with lust and therefore committed adultery in your heart? Have you lied (including "fibs"), stolen (the value is irrelevant), or coveted other people s possessions? If you are honest, you know you will be guilty on the Day of Judgment. God, however, doesn t want to send you to Hell. Jesus Christ suffered and died on the Cross, so you could go free. That s how much God loves you. We broke God s Law, but Jesus took our punishment and died on the cross. He then rose from the grave defeating death. If you repent (turn away from all the things you know are wrong) and trust in Him, God will forgive your sins and grant you everlasting life. Begin by reading your Bible daily and then obey what you read. God will never let you down.

I was an athiest for years, I don't recall having one Christian tell me I was going to hell, just those idiot televangelists on the TV.
For goodness sake! I lived IN Colorado Springs when Focus on the Family became big, and still never had anyone tell me that, of course, I didn't care enough to ask them what they thought either.
So I guess the question is this,
Are Christians just coming up and telling people, "You're going to burn." or is it because you asked them?

'Thou shall not kill' being not even in the text of the bible, but before the book even begins (a hint at its signifigance), how can anyone who is a Christian or Jewish be part of a military whos primary objective is to KILL? Some even use the bible to 'protect' them before, and in, battle. This seems highly hypocritical to me.If obeying the will of god is paramount to ones existence, how can they even begin to justify killing anyone?The president, who commands the military to wage war, seems to follow this apparent contridctory logic.

Please let me know how a person of faith can violate one of the highest pillars of their faith, and even use to ask for protection, which no doubt would lead to them being able to KILL even more of the enemy?

im not anti-war, anti-religion, anti-atheism-im just confused as to this seemingly hypocritical paradigm rarely mentioned by religious leaders or chaplins.help me understand.

My friend and I were discussing werewolves, and she mentioned something she called "wylven." They're supposedly only in the shape of a large wolf and are relatively smart. I've been searching all over for information on them. Any ideas on these mysterious "wylven" or other forms of werewolves?

My friend and I need to find a place to volunteer in or around Framingham for a class. We have talked about working at a soup kitchen for a few weeks and had our minds set on it, but it seems like we're working on such a big deadline and the people at the Salvation Army didn't pick up their phone so we're in panic mode now. Does anyone know any group - shelters, churches, etc that have soup kitchens that we can volunteer at in the area? If not, anywhere to volunteer in the area would be fantastic

URGENT REPLY NEEDED
