I mean 'real' change. Observing people it seems that they all turn around themselves, adapted to situations but not really changing. On a global view there seems no change in many centuries. Is there evolution going on with mankind? It doesn't look like.

"And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. . . . And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb withersoever he goeth." (Revelation 14:1-4)
And where will he find 144,000 male virgins?

Sometimes someone will make a joke about my race and I get angry. How do black people deal with the ignorance and racism and not get offended?

I know that atheists can be very "spiritual" people. I feel that I am spiritual, and, I am an atheist. But I have noticed that very many people on r/s who claim to be atheists are more in an attack mode than in an informational mode. I'm not saying that an attack mode is neccesarily a bad thing, when I started on r/s, I was a raging anti-theist, but, I am just wondering, are you an atheist, or an anti-theist? Or both?

What is it in Spanish? I'm guessing "subscription" is just "suscripción", but I have no idea what magazine is.

I am presuming that you have already discovered God's purpose for you. If not then you have to find it first.

"And he [Elisha] went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them." (II Kings 2:23-24)

any of you who make wands, what is your favourite wood for this, and why?
I already have several, but I'm looking to make a healing wand for a very special friend and am undecided as to what wood to use.

please state your faith first:

1. If an infant dies (without being baptized) where will it go for the eternities?

2. Can people who never become a member of your faith go to heaven?

3. What does someone need to do to go to heaven?

Based on I.Q. tests given to members of different professions, pastors scored the lowest. The intelligence of some pastors is equivalent to that of an adult monkey, or a 3 year old child. Some border on retardation .... is it true?

psychological development of a child not concern them?
Neo natal circumcision causes PTSD in boys and causes sado-masochistic tendencies as an adult....It has even been found that Doctors who are themselves circumcised are more likely to agree to circumcision of a baby due to their own denial of trauma.
Fathers who are circumcised also ask for their boys to be circumcised even after negative effects have been explained to them.
Why can't neo-natal circumcision be banned in civilised society if it is known to cause violent suicidal tendencies as an adult?

I have asked many times, but I still dont' understand why people fear death, I personally believe that one shouldn't fear death just for the fact that whether you fear it or not it's going to happen, so with that why do people fear death?

In English, 'I'= subject; 'you' = object, miss - verb. In "Tu me manques" tu=suject? me = objet ????
According to what I've learned, Tu me manques means "You miss me" ???

are they in hell?

after all, before the Bible "mysteriously" appeared, there's no Bible to "instruct" people to call themselves 'born-again' to enter heaven.

what happened to those people's souls, are they in hell?
