-Some of the words may not be correct, they were hard to decipher.

-On a passport from Romania/Russia dated 1903, the seal/stamp:

"SZOLGABIROI HIVATAL PREDEALON NEMZETKOZI PALYAUDVAR"

-"Noi Ministru Secretar de Stat la Departamentul Afacerilor Straine al României rugăm pe autorităţile civile si militare să lase libera trecerea...."

The passport is also written in French as well.. Any ideas why?

I appreciate any help!!!

It's been a while I don't read the Bible, but what chapter is it on? And what does it mean?

Is this what is known as the "Rapture"?

Many xians say things like "Well, something can't come from nothing, so there must be a god" or "What is the origin of all things? If you can't answer, that means there is a god".
Many people used to say the same thing about lightning or disease or earthquakes which we now have reasonable explanations for.
So my question is: Imagine someday scientists discover that empty areas of space can randomly spawn bursts of energy out of the nothingness. Let's say the energy equivalent to the formation of a star out in the middle of the galaxy where there is no gas, no matter, no dark matter, no nothing. Just some property of space/time that allows for random energy formation. Yes I'm assuming that the 300 year old laws are outdated (as they are already, we see virtual particles form all the time in empty space even as it expands faster than ever).

What will that make you think of the need for god to explain these things? Not in general, specifically for the origin of the universe.

I recently had a conversation with a very strong Christian. He was attempting to convert me.


And I finally did it :)

I convinced a Christian that I'm a hopeless case, and they should give up.

I feel special now; I've never convinced one to actually give up, before. Usually, I just ignore them until they go away, or threaten to kill them with eyeliner, or something. But none of them have ever given up on their OWN before.

I feel special.

Do you feel special?

Or put another way, which is worse? Not believing Jesus is the messiah.... or not believing that God exists?

I recently went to see Billy Ray Cyrus in concert. While performing he kept making remarks to the audience like "stand up" and "Are you all afraid to stand up" because people weren't standing up. Most every concert I've ever been too, I've been prepared to stand. But at this one the performer was wanting everyone to stand and no one would. I just don't understand this. It was an indoor concert, not a huge arena. The hall maybe seated 300 people and every seat was taken. I realize this was a small audience for him, but the way I see it is - he was giving his all to perform, you'd think people would stand up and cheer and act glad that he is there. As it was, he really didn't interact much with the audience and I think that is probably why his show was not very long. Whats the best concert etiquette? In a situation like that is better to motivate the audience by standing and cheering? What would you do?

My mother is Baptist, my father is Protestant, I spent 12 years in Catholic school, my best high school friend was Muslim, my best friend at work is Jewish and I work for a company that was started by Mormans. I myself have no religion. I have no desire to be associated with any religion. It all seems so political to me. Instead I take from each religion what appeals to me. I believe that something bigger than myself created my. But no, I don't know his/her name. My grandma is upset that I don't call myself Baptist anymore, and that I raise my kids with "wordly" beliefs. Does anyone out there understand?

Then why is it that Christians believe Genesis, but don't follow the rest of the OT, and instead follow the NT?

Depending on your country, state amd city the type of event you have locally will vary in the activities, names and times of the year.
Here in north Florida it is time for the County Fair. We only attend when it is to take the grandchildren.
I don't enjoy the crowds, rides or spending too much money for too little safe fun.

Ok, just got back from Barnes and Noble's and in the African American section there is a book where a Black woman is examining the relationships Black men have with White women and why they have them. I look it over, and basically see another "Black Man's Guide to Understanding the Black Woman" (Horrible book) and pass it over. But it got me to thinking: Why does America put so much emphasis in staying true to one's races when it comes to relationships? Don't get me wrong, I'm not naive enough to think racism is gone, but it's a ridiculous idea that races still can't completely intermingle. So what if a White woman, or any other woman, wants a Black man? I'm not going to chase them away. There are similar books from all races out there about staying true. What's up with that?

If Jehovah/God created the angels, and God was the only mentor and teacher of the angels. How is it possible that Lucifer, the bearer of light was able to rebel against God? If God was the only teacher that the angels never had, and he taught them all properly how is it possible that Lucifer learned of the idea of rebellion against God. How is it possible that Lucifer desired to want to take the position of God without learning the desire from God since God was their only teacher? This point and question seems to me to be impossible with the claim of God's perfection... What do you think?

My wonderful wife has struggled to understand sometimes why I cross dress. Sometimes we fought real bad about it, other times she was more forgiving once she saw it was not a threat to us. She bought me some dresses and lingerie for my brithday one time, we slept together, made love while i was wearing shall we say something initimate, and although she still gets angry at times about the subject, I still feel very grateful to her for being so cool. I have to keep things private now as her opinion on this changes so it is hard to keep up with her, but I doubt many women could cope, even if they thought you were a great husband and I am not saying I am - she is still my wife and we are still happy. It is finding the right balance sometimes. Does anyone else have a similar experience?
