Society & Culture - 30 October 2007

talk about "black culture"? Does that consist of the "hood" and calling themselves "******"? I mean, come on! How do they think Southern whites, at the time, pronounced the "N" word? Definately wasn't pronounced with an "r" at the end. So why do they keep try to "rise above" the white man while all the time they are referring to themselves as "******"? And I am NOT referring to ALL blacks. A few are actually decent people.

Does it make Christians uncomfortable with the idea that heaven is seriously lacking in racial balance?

Hardly any Chinese, Japanese, Native Americans, Maori, or Indians? What about Ancient Greeks or Egyptians? How about everybody who lived in America prior to 1492?

If you went to heaven in the year 1500, it would be composed entirely of Europeans?

Face it we all are to a degree.
On a scale of 1-10 how judgemental are you.
And what things do have a tendancy to critisize the most?

another church, especially a Christian church?

Does that sound like Christian love? WWJD?

(legal disclaimer: ex-JW family must have been baptized as a Jehovah's Witness before leaving to join another church. also, "must not associate" means not eating with or socializing)

As in the instructions given by Jesus in Matthew 10:8-15:
You received without paying; give without pay. Acquire no gold nor silver nor copper for your belts, no bag for your journey, nor two tunics nor sandals nor a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. As you enter the house, greet it. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

Hello All!
I'm looking in the Bible for a verse. I don't know the reference or the exact words but I think it says something similar to this... "you should clear your heart and mind before you enter into my presence."
Please, if you have any idea let me know. And I will be checking the verses you give me to make sure you're not making it up. Ok?
Thanks! (:

I, as a Catholic, have seen many people try to discourage me from partaking in my religion. The atheists and agnostics only take notice of the few bad things, but what about all of the overwhelming positives?

I'm wearing my Halloween costume for most of the day tomorrow (to work, to school, to piano lessons). All this is preapproved and should be great fun. However, I am a Running Start student (college in the High school) and I take classes at my local community college. But, tomorrow (Halloween) morning I'm stopping by my High School to go to a half hour Drama Club meeting. I feel slightly uncomfortable going in costume simply because I don't know if anyone else will be in costume and I rarely actually go to the High school. Is it worth the trouble of changing out of the costume and then back into it? Or should I just go, and laugh with people if they laugh at me (which they probably won't, but I'm paranoid)? (My costume is very over the top-- super puffy and big aqua ball gown. I'm Galinda, from Wicked).

We believe the earth is 6000-10000 years old.

We believe there was a Global Flood 4500 years ago and Noah’s Ark saved two animals of every kind.

We believe we were created and that we didn’t evolve.

We believe that the geologic stratums were ALL formed in the Great Flood. And that the “less evolved” life forms are at the bottom of the stratum because they ran slower or they didn’t float as well as the more “evolved” life forms we see today which are found at the top of the geologic column.

We believe that dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous geologic periods lived with people 6000 years ago along with all the other species that existed in tens of other geologic period (Precambrian, Devonian, Silurian etc). This means there were literally hundreds of billions of different species co-existing before the Flood killed most of them off.

This is the last one. Sorry but we Young Earth creationists believe A LOT!

So do you understand now, evolutionists? Stop criticizing!

When reading through the Gospels, it is hard not to notice this happening over and over again…for example:

And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David." When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord." Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you." And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, "See that no one knows about it." But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
-Matthew 9:27-31

Why did He warn and tell others not to share what He had done for them?

And why did the writers of the Gospels take the time to include this over and over in their historical accounts of Jesus?
