how it is possible that until 1994, all the men on the governing body were white Americans? Is it true. God does not sound fair?

About two weekends ago he cheated on me with his colleague, in our house on our bed. now the guy he cheated on me with tells him he loves him and has given my boyfriend his email passwords. i'm not sure if my b/f went thru his emails. this has caused a huge strain in the relationship. it has become difficult to work on the problem of him cheating. Now he is demanding my email password. He views what the guy he cheated me with did by giving him his passoword as this grand getsure that shows he is pure, and trustworthy. i got no problem giving him my password, but not for the reason that the guy he cheated me with gave him his. i still love my b/f, but now it has become so difficult with this guy in the picture. they go to the same college, they see each other all the time, i dont know what happens when they meet. this weekend they are going on a workshop together. i'm just so lost, hurt. Please advise.

By the way some people see it, many of us will be in Hell. And by what I've read here, once we arrive there is no way out.

Is this really so?

About 8 months there was this older guy like in his mid 50's that used to work with me. Anyway, he used have a bad habit of taking his socks off and biting his toe nails and spitting them across the room all day long. Needless to say he was fired. lol

Here is an excerpt from my honors biology textbook last year:

"A theory is a proposed set of statements or principles used to explain a group of facts or natural phenomena—evidences that support the theory. No matter how well one theory fits observations, upon the discovery of new evidences, a new theory might fit them as well or better. In science, the testing, revising, and occasional discarding of theories, new and old, never ends.

As the research continues, it leads scientists to a better understanding of how things work in the world, but not to absolute truth. Scientific discovery is limited by technology. As technology improves, so will the evidence that supports, alters, or disputes theories of all kinds.

In contrast, a scientific law is a conclusion that is made based on repeated scientific experimentation over many years and has become universally accepted by the scientific community. An example of a law would be the law of gravity."

So in the year 2006, an honors 9th grade biology class shows that theories are lesser than laws, when really, in the scientific community, laws don't exist anymore right?

This means that along with all the other outdated information that schools are teaching, new generations are leaving high school without any idea what science has been up to the last 20+ years.

So when a Christian says: "Evolution is just a theory", it isn't that the Christian is dumb, its that the school system is not capable of producing educated individuals.

Opinions?

Assuming you could maintain a higher than average income with an annual 5% cost of living adjustment.

Would you keep working? If you did retire, what would you do?

I came across the phrase "or lack of it" for several times in many articles, but I have no idea what it means. Here are some example:

"I've really learned to appreciate comments like this. It's a wonderfully clear example of the relative value - or lack of it - that conservatives place on people's lives."

"In fact, most people do not imagine the role beliefs play in their financial success or lack of it."

Can anybody tell me what it means? Thanks a lot!

My coworker told me that "My GOD does not have power over my finances" "Only I do" He also said "My God will not be there when something bad happens to me". He also said "My God is a fairy tale". For some reason this hurt my feeling, I wanted to fall on my knees and cry. Then I wanted to stab him. For some reason I took a huge offense. It was like he stabbed me in the heart- . What should I do? I can't find myself to forgive him.

I've been to kentucky before, but i really dont know too much about the "southern lifestyle". Is it that much different from jersey? I've also been told that they "hunt and kill my kind for sport", (i'm wiccan, kinda goth, few body piercings/tattoo). What is the easiest way for me to merge into the culture, blend in, find a job, and make some new friends down there? As it stands now i only know my boyfriend and 2 other people.
Also, i'm a hairdresser here in Jersey, i've only had my license for a year, so i know i have to go back to school out there as well. Does anyone know the specifics on cosmetology laws out there?

Paul seems to say that Jesus "emptied" himself of his deity or "equality with God" (vv 6-7 ) in order to become human (v 8 ). How could Jesus could be God if he left his deity aside to become a man? Jehovah's Witnesses say he could not ( Reasoning from the Scriptures 1989,198, 419 )

It seems that all of these atheists around here love to complain about the world's problems and blame them on God, but how many of them have sincerely asked God to solve them?

Don't you realize, atheists, that if you simply ask Jesus into your hearts all would be well again?

I take Bible History at school. And we are currently on Second Kings (we go in order, by the way). And all I've read and heard about was how God's plan went completely down the drain. He saved his people from Egypt, a couple hundred years later, his plan had completely sunk. I know God is all knowing. And he knew people would end up like this. So, why'd he do it?! Why'd he create us, anyway?? If he knows the human race is such a horrible, greedy, self-centered, nonchalant, chauvinistic, idiotic, lying, stealing, murdering, unreligious thing....Why the heck did he even make us?? He KNOWS, as time goes on, people forget more and more about him. If we last this long, in another thousand years, we won't remember who God is. The Bible will be a silly thing of the past. What's the point?? Why create something so...amazingly great....just to watch it fall to ruins?

Matthew5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
