"And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was 675,000 sheep, And 72,000 beeves, And 61,000 asses, And 32,000 persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him . . . of which the Lord's tribute was 32 persons. And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses." (Numbers 31:32-41)
Are there any priesthoods where this would still apply?No I'm serious..................

believing in the things that are "out of the realm of thinking"..such as the rapture..such as God, being born into flesh from a virgin. These things take Faith ..and trust in God to believe. Instead of searching for ways to twist the scriptures to make these beliefs seem unreasonable..Why not search the scriptures and pray to be shown the truth? I realize it take faith to believe what you do as well..But, in some of the answers I read from JW's..I get the feeling that they think these beliefs of other Christians are "unreasonable" and foolish..Just something I was thinking about and wondering about your feelings on this.

I heard from someone at my ward that not everyone is meant to get married in this life. Now, I'm a total worrier. Will the Patriarch let me know if I am meant to get married and have kids in this life or the next? Will he specify? Thanks in advance!

how I handled this situation?


While I was visiting my parents yesterday, my mom mentioned that she was in the mood for Taco Bell but didn't feel like driving. So I offered to go. She took me up on my offer, so off to Taco Bell I went. While I was there, I bumped into someone who I haven't seen in several years. (We were never friends but attended the same middle school.) After the "how are ya" and "whatchya been up to" routine, she blurted out this question: "So, do you still like black guys?" Well, lots of people have always known me as being attracted to black guys. But, since I was never close to her in any way, I thought her question was rude. Nonetheless, I responded politely by saying, "Just one, and I married him." (continued under "details")

This is how poligamy was started.
GOD REVELATION TO PROPHET- since your people died in this great tragedy while following you . I will allow poligamy and for you to repopulate your religion.

This would never happen and im using it as an example

GOD REVELATION TO PROPHET- I believe that there are too many homosexuals. So i am going to allow u to kill the homosexuals. and once they are all gone. i will change the law back.


WHY CAN MORMONS NOT SEE. I BELIEVE THAT JOSEPH SMITH IS A TRUE PROPHET OF GOD. AND RESTORED THE CHURCH AS WE KNOW IT TODAY. BUT YET HE LIED AND SAID THAT HE RECEIVED REVELATION FROM GOD TO ALLOW POLIGAMY. WHY IS THIS .

It is better to defend against questions like "When confronting Catholics about their man-made traditions...?
do you ever feel like you are casting pearls before swine? Will they ever listen to God's word? Do you know anyone personally who was raised catholic and suddenly believed the truth of the Bible?" or is it better to just ignore such "questions"?

I am thinking that this was not really a question as it was an attack and accusation with a question mark on the end of the attack.

Are we legitimizing such hatred when we reply?

I've looked at various web site that claim that all Popes since Pope Jonh XXIII (who they say was a Freemason?) are illigitimate or heretics. One guy is calling him self Pope Michael I (who by the way lives with his mother, as mentioned on his web site), then there are a few going by the name Of Pope Peter II and Pius XIII or that the seat of Peter is vacant. What's the deal?

I saw part of a program last night on the subject of abortion. I've always believed that a woman should have the right to choose what happens to her body, but seeing some of the images of late abortions shocked me. I still believe it's a woman's right to choose, but should late terminations be banned? In the UK they can be performed up to the (someone correct me if I'm wrong) 24th week of pregnancy, should this be reduced? And if so, to what? Should 12 or less weeks be the maximum? Surely that's plenty of time to decide whether or not to go ahead with a pregnancy?
I still believe abortion is a woman's choice, and I don't advocate banning it completely. If it's going to happen it's needs to happen safely and legally.

The same "artist" who made an anatomically correct, nude Jesus out of chocolate is back with a scratch n sniff Virgin Mary. We have had a cross in a cup of urine labeled art. Many other disgusting and disgraceful depictions mocking Christianity.

My question is: Is it time for Christians to stand up against this type of thing? I am not talking about standing like Muslims and killing/calling for the killing of people over it, but what about protests, boycotts, etc. Or is this like banning a book, and only makes the book (or in this case "art") more popular?

Just wondering where in the world did you get that all gay people have "anonymous sex in airport bathrooms, public parks, or truck stops. " and "straight sex is about a relationship with others while gay sex appears to be just about the sex."?

Did you do some kind of research project entitled "Kinky sexual behaviour among homosexuals" and interviewed every single straight and gay couple to come to a conclusion that all straight sex is about relationships and all gay sex is not? ..... Well until you do, please stop posting nonesense like that, makes you look not very well educated/clever.

I'd like to put attention to another section of Yahoo Answers - "Social Sciences => Psychology".

There people get along fine. The amount of trolls is minimal, (if any at all), and the atmosphere is friendly and cozy.

How come R&S can't be like that?

Do you take pride in that you are loving follower of Christ?

Be honest with your answers please.

And if you do take Pride in this then are you not committing a sin?

As Pride is one of the Seven Deadly sins.

Be true with your answers as if you lie that you do not but in fact you do then you will be committing another crime.

No offence to religious people, huh.

Thank you for your answers.

As a HR manager I hire & fire lot's of people. I have seen many trends and attitudes from employees over the years and I have like many HR people I have experienced many situations that you can't help but notice. I have hired 9 African Americans in the past 6 years, numerous people of all other races and to be perfectly honest it has been "MY" experience they make the worse employees on all levels. Out of the nine 5 were fired for not coming to work, 3 arrested and one sued (unsuccessfully) our company for discrimination. We employee around 275 people in our facility and the average pay is $16.50 hr for entry level postions, may earn well over $25hr. They apply and come completly unprepared, they don't dress in a professional manner nor do they speak in a clear business-like manner. They pull up in a loud (music) car, baggy pants with chains hanging off their necks with a bad attitude.

This is my experience....what's been yours?

I can't think of a reason. I am happy in my life the way it is - completely free of religion.... so you could say that now I can't go to heaven.
But I look at it this way:

IF there is a heaven, this caring and loving God won’t mind if I have rational doubts about him and rational reasons for not believing in him. This god won’t punish me for exercising my critical thinking skills. And he'll let me into heaven.

And if this god sends people to hell forever for rational doubt, why would anyone want to spend an eternity with such an egotistical monster? So not spending eternity with this god doesn’t sound like much of a loss.

So therefore I can remain atheist, seeing as there is no reason to bother believing.
I love life. And I explained the afterlife situation, so why bother changing?
