More than one minister has implied or stated outright that if I were the kind of woman God wanted me to be, I could find a husband. I've already had 3, but something held me back from saying that.
So, my question is, I suppose, do I have to be a housewife, according to southern Baptists, to be pleasing to God?

this is a reiteration of the last site, in text, showing how Christianity persecutes the Atheist, while claiming, love, tolerance and compassion are the criteria of their beliefs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination_against_atheists

the Christian espousal of this domination of civil freedom is hellacious, though to be fair I think some/most of them don't actually realise the implications and the reprecussions of their doctrine within the modern world and politics.

Its time you started to open your eyes!
we don't dislike you! we hate the fact that religion dominates the structure of our society.

" When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain. And he took the calf they had made and burned it in the fire; then he ground it to powder, scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it."
Did you know gold melts at 1947 degrees and the best you could get from an outside fire is 1500 degrees?
Neither did the writers of this story,I feel.Or did Moses hastily construct a furnace?
Or is this yet another parable or metaphor we are not supposed to take seriously?

Hi,
I'm just getting a little confused!
If in English you say that you 'must not' do something, do you use the modal mussen or durfen?

Also, what would be the missing words in this sentence if you're using "sollen; perfect tense"
Wir ______ das fenster nicht aufmachen________

thanks very much for your help

My husband took our 2 girls on a holiday to see his parents and they were suppose to come back yesterday, (his family does not like me because I am Catholic and they are Baptist, they have told me plenty of times that I worship satan and my Church is the Church of satan, which is wrong), my husband rang me today and said he is not bringing the girls home, his parents are going to raise them in their Church. He also has gone awol from the Army

I have been praying and crying all day, I am also 2 months pregnant.

I have phoned the Police but all they said they were not in danger

Please I know this might get deleted but could you please offer advice or anything else?

according to the ADL(anti defamation league) 6000-8000 Jews died in these camps(check out their website).
Only problem is, there weren't even 4000 Jews around in that time.
So my question is:
Are the zionists lying, or am i mistaken?

My American friend told me that in School (up to 18 Years old) the curriculum focuses on the following geographic in terms of education: Local history, State history, Regional (eastern USA etc) and finally national.


Is this true?

With regard to my former question, about 'phoning the Government. Iwas having a problem with what Pension I should be on. And I learnt in business, if you ever want something, go to the man at the top. Well, I DID manage to get our Pirme Minister John Howards, privat number, (can't say from who) and actually spoke to his secretary and received a lovely letter, explaining my situation to me. Have you ever tried it? What astoundied me, is that I COULD NOT get hold of my local Member of Parliment!

If they die before converting to Christianity, do they then go to hell? A lot of children have a basic idea of right and wrong and a lot of people believe we are born in sin.

What about all the Native Americans that lived during Jesus' time? How about all of the nations of the world that lived during Jesus' time?

What happens to them? Do they go to hell too?

I'm a universalist myself:

http://www.romancatholicism.org/universal-salvation.htm
http://www.tentmaker.org/

I believe that ALL will be saved in some for or another. Seems more in line with Jesus' teachings to me. Then again, the fear of hell has kept the numbers high and the tithe box full in the past...

Your thoughts?

ie; For Salvation: Do we just believe or believe and confess, or believe and be baptized or believe and do good works ? There is scripture that back up each.
