Well I'm 15, and I have 2 brothers, (25 &28) and 2 sisters (17&26) I was thinking of a Christmas gift for my parents, and I was wondering if maybe they would like a picture of all of us? A professional one. I was thinking maybe we could all chip in to get it done. And since it would be all of us buying, it wouldn't cost much at all, and we could still each get an individual gift. If you were a parent would you like that? I was thinking that or having us all chip in for a little vacation for them. Maybe a cruise or something. We never really go on vacation often. Last timr we went i think I was 12. It was to some cabin in Vermont. So I figured they'd like going somewhere :) So if you were a parent, would you like either of those ideas?

My fiance and I moved into this apartment in August. Now I see why the previous tenants moved. Our neighbor has woke us up twice this week, and many times since we've moved in, with loud sex. You'd swear she was either a prostitute or a porn star, she screams so loud. Thursday she woke us up at 9:00 AM and Today it was 6:30 AM! Literally woke me up. We don't know any of our neighbors - I've only seen this girl twice, in the hallway or elevator. I don't even know her name. What can I do to get her to shut up? I mean, if she's loud in bed, I know I can't change that. And if this is her job, lol, then I'm thinking she's not going to shut up for us. But seriously, 6:30 in the morning! I'm losing sleep here. And I'm fed up! I don't want to be rude or start a war with her because then it will only get worse. How can I politely ask this girl - who I never even see - to quiet it down, without starting a war?

I have just moved to a new town and am hoping to find a church to go to. I grew up in a city where I went to the same Vietnamese Catholic church my entire life. In searching for churches online, I've come upon many churches in the area that are called (for instance): Holy Trinity Catholic Church and St. Juan Diego Parish. My question is: If a church labels themselves "Catholic", does this mean they are all the same? What is the difference between a "Catholic church" and a "Catholic Parish"? I don't want to accidentally go to a different-religion church. How do I choose a Catholic church that best resembles my former church and beliefs?

In my view practising any religion or caste should be banned to make india more safer place to live. And it will put end to all conflicts and makes us united.
I think the different concept of god is becoming greatest EVIL not only in india but also through out the world.

I got an email warning about a new movie for children for which the marketing has already started.
It looks a lot like "Narnia" but is so far from it. BEWARE!
It will be out in December called THE GOLDEN COMPASS by Pullman.Nicole Kidman stars in the movie so it will probably be advertised a lot. This is just a friendly warning that you sure won't hear on TV. he claims to be able to "enlighten us Christians" by his own version that Adam and Eve's fall from Grace was a form of liberation, not misery, it was a good thing which gave human beings freedom. He says he will "pray for us" if we get confused by his idea that Wisdom (which the Bible teaches us) is really Satan. ( I interpret his views by saying that he offers to "pray" for us to make us believe he's Christian, but its really a ploy to silence us into confused wonderings if we'd missed anything from the Bible). In Proverbs Wisdom warns us of evil, which does not back up his deliberate misinterpretation of our Holy Book.

Just also think of how it be to be with Jesus Christ someday nomore worries or bills or fighting or war or drugs.

Today is the day of salvation.
Except a manbe born again he cannot see the kingdom of God John 3-3
Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish Luke 13-3
For whosever shall call upon the name of the Lord shallbe Saved, Romans 10-13
For all have sinned come short of the Glory of God, Romans 3-23
Jesus died for you on the cross shed his blood to wash away our sins 1 John 1-7 The blood of Jesus Christ his son cleaseth us from sin.
Jesus loves you but satan hates you wants you to spend eternity in Hell forever Mark 9-48 Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched .
Call on Jesus to save you to forgive you of your sins today.

John 19:10 - "Do you refuse to speak to me?" Pilate said. "Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?"

Despite the fact that it was the will of God, just like in justice is he culpable?

we see it every day, things (people and animals alike) being born and we also see them die. some think we move onto another state of being but then some think we go to heaven or hell. So far Not one soul on this earth has come up with a good answer, there are some that are inspiring but dont quite seem correct. and if there is a god why would he not show him self unless he is not that powerful and in that case he is not powerful enough to save us.

if there are children in your neighbourhood who are found throwing things from his or her balcony ,which eventually land upon the pedestrians walking down the street, how do we approach their parents to explain them that their children's behaviour needs correction? How do we talk to the parents about their kids without offending them?

In other words, he paid the price for all men’s sins. Yet not all men are saved. What is the difference between those who are merely redeemed and those who are redeemed and saved? Is it something Jesus did, or is it something each saved individual does? If it’s something Christ did, then why aren’t all men saved? After all, Scripture says he desires that all men be saved (cf. 1 Tim. 2:3–4).
But if it’s something the individual believer did, then isn’t that a work?
