If this God's chosen one person gets off on all the attention that everyone gives him? There are several regular posters who are desperate for attention (negative and positive). Is it a spiritual practice to constantly keep giving to them? Are we really doing them a disservice by constantly playing their game?

I have to go to an event at my Uncles house and they serve some really gross food.

Not only is the taste so bad it makes you want to gag. Also,the safety of the food is questionable. He is SO cheap that he keeps food much longer than he should.

What can I do?

I just tried to post a question and it got
stuck on the "preview" section so I will
try again.
Did my cousin Rowena keep you entertained while I was away?
She is gone to visit relatives here in the states, then its back to her little island
home. She had a great time here and
on Seniors.
She was house-sitting for me and I will
miss her. She's one of my favorite
people. Here we go again folks.
What's new since I've been gone?

(My other question was deleted by an angry rat.)

You say Adam can't be saved simply because of this verse:
Hebrews 10:26
"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left..."

First of all, it says "after we have received the knowledge of the truth". Question: What is "the knowledge of the truth"? Is this something Adam could've grasped at that time?

Second of all, Adam didn't "deliberately keep on sinning after he had received the knowledge of the truth" because he didn't have the "Knowledge of Good and Evil" yet since he just took a bite from the fruit. He didn't have the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Third of all, the verse says "if we DELIBERATELY KEEP ON SINNING...". Does this sound like the only sin it shows us Adam of committing? Does this story of sin say he deliberately kept on sinning, or did he just sin?

combined the two ideas of both religions and added in some of his own thoughts to create the Qu'ran?

This is what it says in this book my parents have at home that compares Christianity to other religions {they are christian}
Because of this book, that is what they think about Islam, and that Jinnah is a place of sensual pleasure, which is all wrong. But what actual prove can I give them that will help me argue this? ( I'd like to note that I DO NOT believe this, but I want to see if there is ACTUAL proof out there that helps debunk this lie)

if He really loved you, would he have so many flaming hoops to jump through to be "saved" - would he let a "Heathen Savage" with no knowledge of the bible into heaven? or is he really that lovingly exclusionary?

That part of religion has never made sense to me.....

A very close cousin of mine has started what is expected to be a multi-million dollar company, and he has asked me to be the technical writer for the company. HOWEVER, my cousin has a LONG history of bieng a "big talker" and not coming through. He's gone bankrupt before and he always so sparatic. My sister worked as a receptionist for him and things were always scattered. Paycheques late, working crazy hours, finding out important things at midnight, and so forth. Additionally, I am only a junior but the job would require an intermidiate to senior writer because of the complexity. My cousin says "I'm not bieng confident and I can do it" but I am confident; I simply know that I have not gathered *enough* experience in my 1 year of working to be able to do a good job. I would need help. He says he plans to take me to China and so forth for documenting, but I simply don't want to get involved in this. I am so close to him and don't want to ruin our relationship by working for him.

I think some of us start out fearing God because that is what we are taught, however, I think that as people mature and grow in a relationship with God we find our motivation as love for Him and appreciation for what He has done for us.
Coming from a Baptist background I knew a lot more about fearing God than seeing Him as my Redeemer, as One who has loved me and will love me eternally.
If fear has been your motivation, how can you trust Someone you're afraid of?
When we're told to "fear" God in the Bible, does it really mean to stand in awe of Who He is? To realize why we need Him?
It seems to me that we can't truly love God if we're really motivated by the desire to avoid punishment.
What do you think? And, please, if this question doesn't interest you just pass it by, there is no need for disrespect. Thank you.

Facts, not prejudice: How likely is it that a practicing priest in 2007 would sexually abuse a minor? How does this risk compare with ministers, rabbis, and teachers?

A study by the Catholic League found:
Over the last four decades, less than 1.5 percent of the estimated 60,000 or more men who have served in the Catholic clergy have been accused of child sexual abuse. . . . Of contemporary priests, the Associated Press found that approximately two-thirds of 1 percent of priests have charges pending against them.

Almost all the priests who abuse children are homosexuals. Dr. Thomas Plante, a psychologist at Santa Clara University, found that “80 to 90% of all priests who in fact abuse minors have sexually engaged with adolescent boys, not prepubescent children. Thus, the teenager is more at risk than the young altar boy or girls of any age.

why did god not create humans whith the capability of photosynthesis? We could just sit in the garden, enjoy the sun and not worry where the next meal is coming from. Wouldn't that have eliminated many wars in our history? Wouldn't green humans have been a more intelligent design than the present version?
