I love the holiday season with my family but I don't make many plans. I buy gifts, prepare food and have my house ready for company. Then I wait and see who shows up. This might sound stressful to others but I don't sit there wringing my hands and worrying when children, grandchildren and friends will show up. My husband and I like being home for the holidays so they know where to find us.

If God is the one who brought Israel back by using people, their money and weapons as tools, is there any such thing as free will? Don't forget about the keywords of the question -- "self fulfilled prophecy".

How could God's Promised Land be so weak that it has to rely on the welfare and resources of other nations in order to survive?

i think if there was truly a god, he would be more impressed by people who put their families before him, in stead of people who blindly swear their allegiance to him above anything or anybody else in their lives. it's stuff like this that strengthens my belief that gods, if not invented by monarchs, were certainly used to their advantage. just think of the ways you could have manipulated people of the day by telling them, "god comes first!"

I am a Christian, and a believer in theistic evolution. It has been proposed that Adam and Eve were not alone when they were in the Garden of Eden. If you look at this from an evolutionary point of view, then this is quite possible by my interpretation of Genesis coinciding with evolution. Here are my thoughts. So, life somehow was created on Earth. Fast forward to our "common ancestor." From this point the common ancestor evolved and branched off to form many different species, including humans. I feel that it is possible that the story of Adam and Eve began when humans were intellectually capable of understanding God's plan. Thus, He chose these two in order to start His plan for us. At this point in time, "humans" would have been more "animalistic" compared to what we are now. I am not saying Adam and Eve were animalistic, but maybe they were the "first" humans to evolve intellectually enough to understand God's plan. Maybe God was just "setting the stage" for us by using

Personally, I really don't care. It's the people like me and you that have lost pictures, family heirlooms and that have to stay in motels or with family and pray that we don't lose the only home that we have or the only home that we may EVER have in our lifetime. I am just SOOOO sick and tired of hearing how the poor celebrities have their million dollar, replacable homes threatened.

Looking for specifics here, people.

An answer to my last question mentioned that sometimes it takes months for a prayer to be "clearly answered".

How does it become clear that God answered your prayer?

I hear people say this a lot and I'm getting kind of sick of having others tell me what I believe and why I believe it. So speak up Christians: how many of you believe just because you're afraid of eternal punishment?

If you receive a rude or nasty e-mail, don't
respond immediately--if at all. Wait until the
next morning so you can cool off and think
clearly as to if a response is even necessary.

If there is nothing constructive to say in a calm
or sternly professional tone, it is probably best
you don't respond.

Many times folks don't realize they are coming
off as terse. No smiles, bad choice of words,
poor grammar and typos all lend to the
impression that the sender didn't care and makes
being perceived as rude much easier.

Always take the high ground and do not respond
in kind to those who cannot communicate with
courtesy. Just hit delete!

Again I am listening to EWTN live and the Priest is talking about the Internet. He was saying that true Catholics do not bash people who don't happen to believe in the same thing we believe in or even those who don't believe in God at all. We should sincerely answer their questions with respect and kindness. Otherwise we are not being Christ like. We should try and answer their questions as truthfully as we can. Go to the Catholic websites and try and give them the most informative, and truthful answers that we can give them.I have to admit I have lost my temper and said some pretty cruel things, and I am sorry for that. We can sometimes be so ignorant without really realizing it, and speak before we think. Thank you for the wake up call Father.
