I don't know if it was a "torture" device or used in the western days to hold prisoners until they could get them to a jail. But I'm trying to find out the name of this & can't. People would still be standing up. The top lifted open. They would have to stick their head & hands in the open holes, it would be closed back down over them & locked. They use fake ones a lot these days, for photo props at fairs, etc...Can anyone tell me what the name of this thing is? Thanx!

This verse speaks of women covering their head while praying or prophesising. If we do not cover our heads, we are dishonoring ourselves. It also states that women ought to have a sign of authority on her head. What would a woman use to cover her head..a sign of authority sounds like a crown..Does this still apply today? Why or why not? And do you think this means a veil even though it does not state to cover your face, but only "on her head"? Any thoughts on these verses?

someone asks a question and then berates those who give an answer that is not what he/she wants to hear?

I see it now and then in the "additional details" of the question.

Why ask a question if you are going to complain about the answers you receive?

If man was created in God's own image, and man is fallible, then God is also fallible, right?

Also, why did God create the devil--Why does God create evil? There aren't two gods, are there (one good and the other evil)?

And why is God an absent father figure--what kind of example is God setting for God's children?

I'm so confused. Did God write the Bible and send it down from the clouds? Or did fallible people write the Bible? And if people wrote the Bible, is it a reliable source? Can I also write a Bible and say I was ghost writing for God, who spoke to me from a burning shrub in my back yard?

I am going to college to become an ASL interpreter. I was thinking about getting either my lip, or eyebrow pierced...but I started thinking about the effects that would have on job opportunities...Is it a bad idea to have a piercing as an interpreter?

I'm not trying to mock God or anything, but if he really did create the universe, why in the world did he create 8, or 7 (depending on how you feel about pluto), meaningless planets? They are pieces of junk. Theres no purpose for them. So why create them? Doesn't it almost make more sense to say that they came from a random big bang? That would explain their meaningless existence....

I don't care if I get any or not but it seems like the christians would be the most generous and loving of all people.
Richard C. seems to live up to what Y/A and others would consider a good contributor...... christians should be the best in everything they do.....

I often imagine God as this great big ball of swirling energy, with no real form or substance.

But then I remember that God created us in His own image. That means God looks like us, in some way. So that makes my image inaccurate.

Can you describe what God looks like to you?

Guys, I hate to break it to you, but it is.

"According to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the World Christian Database as of 2007 estimated the six fastest growing religions of the world to be Islam (1.84%), the Bahá'í Faith (1.7%), Sikhism (1.62%), Jainism (1.57%), Hinduism (1.52%), and Christianity (1.32%). High birth rates were cited as the reason for the growth.[13]."

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

Now I'm an atheist, but 4 people thumbed down when I stated that Islam was the fastest growing religion for some reason. I just wanted to clear this up.

Anyway... question... question... Hmm. What do you think of Quetzalcoatl? Great god or greatest god?

My son and his g/f and me, too...we step all over the place, people spit, my son's g/f works in a nursing home, my son works with folks all over the world, I do home health care...my shoes and theirs and have been everywhere...bathrooms, parking lots...that crap on their shoes and mine - why not ask them to take of their shoes before they come in? I don't want that crap in my house...think about where the bottom of your shoes have been...you want that in your house? In your kitchen? Bathroom? Why can't we be like the Japanese, don't wear shoes in the house? Do they have staph? We have a jillion immigrants everywhere...hillbillies, meth folks...they are spitting to show they are men and we step in it when we go to stores or gas stations and then we walk in our house...what is wrong with asking people to take off their shoes before they come into my house? Oh, also...my folks could have stepped in some old man's pee that he left behind at a store...take off your shoes?

..during ramadan.
1) If they had not broken this country's law, they wouldn't be in prison.
2) They could have chosen something else off the menu.

To give foreign prisoners £2m of OUR money would be a travesty....
If they are in our country stick to our rules, they come here, try to blow our innocent men ,women and children up, then claim they are badly done by as they don't like the prison menu!!!..If you don't like it , stay away or don't break our laws.They should have to eat cold porridge every day, that would fit in with their religious needs.
People like that really pee me off.

Hosea 9:14-16 (NIV) (Hosea prays to the LORD!) Give them, O LORD-what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that are dry. (God rushes to answer on the spot!) "Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal, I HATED them there. Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious. Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit. Even IF THEY BEAR CHILDREN, I WILL SLAY their cherished OFFSPRING."

God always answers our prayer if we ask him “according to his will”. Amen?

Jeremiah 16:3-4 (NIV) For this is what the LORD says about the sons and daughters* (*BABIES?) born in this land and about the women who are their mothers and the men who are their fathers: "They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried but will be like refuse lying on the ground. They will perish by sword and famine, and their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the beasts
