could it be that they dont really believe the crap they are preaching ? and the only reason they become evangelist is because of the money , to them its all a show ?
or could it be that they see the lies in the bible and get off on spreading their hate ?

A cousin whom I have not seen, spoken to or heard from in over 8 years has decided to stay with my mother during the week-end of my birthday (this Sunday). My husband, my mother and I have plans to go out to Sunday lunch. Am I obligated to invite my cousin along? (I personally think my mother should not have accepted her as a house guest at this time, but that was her choice.)

of attention!
He declines the invitation for dinner and waits until the next night to get his free meal when his sibling is not there and does not have to compete for attention.
What do you make of this? He outright told his parents the reason he declined as well, even though it was his favorite meal!

speaking of the same period of time? What does the "about half an hour of silence" and the 2300 days of the transgression of desolation refer to?
**All Scriptures are from the King James Version.
I read this in Luke 15:7, "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance."
From this verse, it appears that Heaven (God's throne room) would usually be filled with songs of praise and worship of the Lord every time a sinner was saved. Does this mean that no one is being saved during the about half an hour of silence?
In 1 Corinthians 10:8 we read, "Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand."
Every time the number "23" appears in the Bible, it is associated with judgment (wrath-plagues, famine, pestilence..)

The Stockholm Syndrome is a phenomenon exhibitted by hostages who are affectionate and loving towards their captors. It can be explained by how the human brain deals with a great stress. Once a person realizes that there's no escape from the constant fear, it can morph itself into "love".
Similarly, Christians claim that they are motivated by their love towards God, even though the Bible doesn't portray God as very tender, but rather vengeful and cruel. In a sense, Christianity is the culimination of the Stockholm Syndrome, because somehow they managed to convince themselves that their fear of God is really a form of true love.

This is an OUTRAGE !!!!!!! Fairness doctrine, or 'silence the lambs'???
A senior advisor to Nancy Pelosi has said this, "Conservative radio is a huge threat and political advantage for Republicans, and we have had to find a way to limit it". This is politics par excellance, folks, and it is designed to silence our freedoms of speech !! What are we going to do about this? Sit by and let it happen? These people are about to destroy this nation......what do you intend to do about this abomination? Do not take this lightly, folks, our very freedoms are being eroded.....it is past time to do what we need to do. "Work for the night is coming when man can work no more". Pray as if our lives depended on God.......weep before God for our nation. May He have mercy on us once again.

the enemy?
The parable states: "Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." (Matthew 13:24-30).
**All Scripture from the King James Bible.

Hebrews
6:1 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
Is this referring to foot washings? Or what kind of washings? This has always confused me.
If it is referring to foot washings --- then why aren't we doing more of that in the church? I know that some churches practice it regularly, but they seem to be few and far between.

I'm trying to find this verse in the Bible about the power of two or more asking God in prayer and the prayer is answered. I know it's there and I have indexed my Bible but can't find it. I believe it is both in the old testament and new testament and I thought it was in Proverbs but it's not coming to me. Anything referencing the power of two or more would be helpful. Thanks

For reference see the following verses:
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."
"Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." (Colossians 4:6).
"Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?" (Luke 14:34).
"For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt." (Mark 9:49).
"And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt." (Leviticus 2:13).
"But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt." (Genesis 19:26).
