Instead of allowing sin and sending billions upon billions of people to hell, why didn't God just kill the two people responsible for sin and start over with two new people?

One of the seldom-discussed traits of Asperger's Syndome and High-Functioning Autism is a lack of spiritual belief. A large majority of functional autistics are atheists, agnostics, or otherwise non-religious, whereas 90% of the general population follow some type of religious belief.

Since these conditions are genetic and present at birth, does that mean that they are part of God's plan? Why would God create a condition that physically disables people from believing? Are such people damned from birth?

What do you think? Thanks in advance for thoughtful answers.

My understanding is that it was Paul that started christianity for the sake of his Gentile followers. I'm asking the question seriously because the Bible doesn't mention anywhere, where Jesus told his followers that Christianity is the religion to follow.

I do try and study and understand all religions (NOT FOLLOW, lol, just study). I consider myself to be much spiritual but I don't follow a particular religion.

(I'm paroled from religion, due to good behavior). lol *just joking

But, if anyone can provide me an answer to my question or just your honest views, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

My husband and I can communicate with each other by mental telepathy. I sense when he needs to get a phone call from me. I always know when he is ill, even if he is far away from me. My mother and I had this too. Have you had this experience with someone? I've heard that it is very common with twins.

Californians Give God Thanks for Blessings Great and Small after Devastating Fires
"Dear Lord, thank You for sparing us again and thank You for helping all the people who needed the help."

Teresa Neumann (October 30, 2007)

(San Diego, Ca.)—The Associated Press has reported that in one California area, hit hard by the recent fires, people are giving thanks to God for all things great and small. A sign outside of the Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church reads: "Life is Fragile; Handle with Prayer." (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)

"Praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; we have lucked out much more than we deserve," said Bill Lange, a scientist who led the service. "Dear Lord, thank You for sparing us again, and thank You for helping all the people who needed the help."

To read in detail about the devastation left by the fire and the many thanks people are giving, follow the link provided.

I wonder because it ends in "s," but it's multisyllable.
Would this sentence be, "Wo ist die Telefonnummer des Gaestehauses?" Would I use "von," or is that only for proper names?

As my sister is expecting I have been staying with her as helping hand.My in-law is behaving with me nastily. He unnecessarily touches me spanks my butts, pinches belly. whenever I go to him he moves my Saree away off tummy and twists his finger in my navel as if making fun. He keeps talking with his hand on my bare tummy caressing everywhere and other hand on my butts.
He finds a chance to lay on my lap when we all sit for some thing like playing cards. there he keeps caressing my inner thigh in presence of my sister and his brother. Some times his hand goes close to *** while he explores my thighs.
One day in his garden,to collect fruits from height he lifted me and positioned me to sit on his shoulders with legs on either side of his head, keeping his hands on my butts. While I was collecting fruits, he kept caressing and pressing my bum. Once done he made me upside down with his face between my thighs.
my sister doesnt see it as offensive.
I want to return home as this is growing more and more difficult but my sister needs my assistance.
How to deal the situation?

Have you heard of "purity balls?" Many people in 48 states have these balls. It's where young girls ages 9-19 pledge to be pure and save themselves for marriage. What do you all think about them is it right to expose young girls at age 9 to pledge to be pure? The fathers also pledge to protect their daughters and support them. Please tell me your opinions!

This is from our study in the Revelation book at bookstudy...I have bookstudy Monday night...and I really enjoyed the study extra extra last night with the description of the little scroll that John took from the strong angel's(Jesus) hand and ate a piece of. To us the message is sweet because it means salvation and peace for Jehovah's loyal servants, but for wicked ones it is a bitter message...a message of doom....what experiences have you had out in the ministry or what do you think of this particular study. I love it...and the picture on page160 with the different people's reactions.

yet the ten commandment, original (or even old) Hebrew bible texts or NT texts not survived?

The epic tablets are from about 2100 B.C.E and the Code tablets from 1850 B.C.E. that is hundreds of years before even the most conservative bible scholar puts Moses.

And please for the love of god don't tell me the ten commandment are in some church in Ethiopia

Have you ever gone trick-or-treating, and had you candy stolen while trick-or-treating? When did candy steeling start hapenning? When I was a little kid, I never experienced my candy being stole while I was trick-or-treating. One year it happened to my brother. For the people who are candy thiefs on Trick-or-treat night, do you see them as greedy people? What should you do if this happens to you?

Is it true, that trick-or-treating was more safe back in the 1970's and earlier then? I want to see what you all say. Thank you.
