I was recently told that the police in Baltimore City have started posting signs on the doors of registered sex offenders that warn parents not to bring their children to that house. If the resident is found to have removed the sign, he or she will be in violation of any probation or parole, and will be arrested.

Your thoughts?

Can a believer please tell me if God speaks to us through our dreams? And if so, how do we know it's God and not our imaginations? And, why would God chose this particular time to communicate this particular topic with me? (Please do not answer this question if you're an atheist.)

Here is one part, taken from the state website:

66260.7. "Gender" means sex, and includes a person's gender
identity and gender related appearance and behavior whether or not
stereotypically associated with the person's assigned sex at birth.

If I read that right, a 15 year old boy could decide he is a 15 year old girl and not be discriminated against just because of his plumbing. So what's to stop him from demanding to go to girl's gym, shower with the girls, hang out in the stalls of the girls' bathroom?

Wake up America, what happens in California soon spreads East! I'm asking this in a few different areas just to get a balanced response. Thank you.

" when walking on the road you meet a man who says I am searching for the truth, walk with him, but if you meet a man who says , i have found the truth follow me,, you must run away from this man" .( Maybe not a perfect quote the the lesson is the same.) What does this mean to those Religions who claim to be "Christian" yet say "We are the one TRUE religion we have the TRUTH join us" Are we not instructed to RUN AWAY from them?

"This house will ONLY pass out HOME-MADE treats on Halloween night that are safe for children with peanut allergies, wheat allergies, gluten intollerances, and diabetes.
EVERY child deserves a SAFE and HEALTHY HALLOWEEN!"

He's a Truck Driver and calls into where I work about twice a week.
He's got Liver Cancer and its spread right through his body so they have stopped the treatment.

He is a strong vibrant Man with a Ribald and wicked sense of humour abd though I've watched him looking greyer and sicker over the course of his illness he is still quite a man and if anything his wit has become sharper.

There is no darkness or depression about him.
I asked him why he was still worked and he said "Well what the fu@k else am I gonna do?"
I must admit I am impressed with the way he's going about things!
He is completely without faith, a total Atheist. He expects to die and is doing so without fear or expectations.

I guess my question is to both Atheists and People of Faith. Do you think you would face your Mortality with good humour and without fear?

But I really don't understand, in all the dictionaries, I have looked up the word "Christian" and the main explanation of the word is:
A person who follows Christ, a person who believes that Christ is the son of God, that he died on the cross for our sins, and that he is the Saviour.
If this is true, why do a lot of Christians, say that Catholics are not Christians, don't Catholics believe in the 3 main points , mentioned above? And if they do, and I'm sure they do, then why do some say they aren't Christians, It doesn't seem to make sense to me.
The explanation of the word is simple and if Catholics fit the explanation then they must be Christians, right?
I have heard the argument that it's because Catholics pray to saints, but they STILL believe in the main points that classes one as a Christian. I would really appreciate if anyone could explain this to me, thanks.

I was at a funeral recently and the nigh before I had watched a comedian tell a joke about the way the priest says "The Lamb Of God" as soon as the priest said "The Lamb Of God" I keeled over and laughed so loud the whole church stared at me.

It was so embaressing but when you get the giggles it jsut can't be helped, I kept chuckeling for the whole service!

Have you ever got the giggles in chruch?

Obviously it's a "learning" game of Hide and Seek.
Seek and ye shall find. No seek would be no find.

Obviously what to "find" is grace, as told in Heb 4:16.
Futhermore "find grace" is "in time", and to "help".
So then find grace to help you solve the "mystery",
which is "allegory" in both "covenants": Galatians 4.

See-King clues?
Ye must be born again to even SEE the KofG.
So if getting high on law, and looking down on others,
then you won't see the KofG is above such law vs law.
Heaven: higher than the heavens, is above the heavens.

Lukewarm isn't allowed on the seventh day.
If lukewarm, spewed out, like warm coffee is spit out.
Only hot or cold is allowed at Sabbath shewdown time:
Sabbath? "the day of the LORD" -vs- "the day of God".
Hint: the day(light) of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
Allegory: the grace of the LORD is law, and not grace.
God said: let there be light, not lights, nor light + darkness.

What does Albert Einstein say of hot or cold?

do you think it would be worst for three of your drunk friends to vomit in your suv in the back seat and front passenger seat and door and speakers, and you girlfriend has to clean it up but the smell stays for days after. OR for one of your "friends" to urinate in the back seat of your car a few times in one night, and take the car to get the seat steam cleaned with no lingering odor?

Being with God or Being with Satan. I want to know reasons why some of you think or dont think this. Bible quotes are not allowed because if you dont believe the Bible, then they are irrelevant
I am an Agnostic. I believe in God, just not in Religion. I feel that all religions should be treated as equals

I have spoken with the same kids many times not to pick the oranges they are still green.And when they are orange don't just pick ,you could break the branches.Knock on my door and I will get you one.I am nice I will share but ask before picking.
I have netting over the orange tree ,they understand that I put the netting over the tree because of people picking the oranges.
Yeaterday a seven year old knocked on my door and told me that his sister just picked an orange.I told him the oranges are still green she shouldn't be picking them.Thank you for telling me.And let your mother know to.
Latter I saw the twelve year old girl and asked her if she picked an orange.She said no but her friend did .I said why they are still green.I asked if next time if she would ask her not to pick them because they are not ready.I said and it's not nice just to go in someones yard and pick things ,that is stealing.Let her know I will give her some when they are orange .But dont just take ask me.
