One of the nazi's 'problems' seems to be that they thought the jews first loyalty was to each other rather than their host conutry, and that this meant their power and influence in germany was not in the interest of the country as a whole.

Is that right and if so, just how powerful/influential were they?

Given the number and value of claims for 'confiscated/stolen' goods/property that jewish organisations keep raising, it looks like they must have had masssive power and wealth in pre-nazi germany - is that so?

We were discussing religions and their prayers, and what they pray for, and I speculated about the efficacy of amputees' prayers in christian religions, and somebody informed me, rather assertively that "Jesus doesn't do new legs." Saying the best you can hope for to pray for a prosthetic leg --

This started a heated debate, and I was wondering if any of you church folks would settle this for us:

Does Jesus do new legs or doesn't he?

I haven't seen a fat avatar on yahoo answers yet. Or an old one for that matter.
What is yahoo implying?
That we are all young and skinny?
Why is yahoo answers contributing to the raising health problems caused by bad self-image and the mass media?
Should we complain to the execs about having skinny avatars?

Yes, I know god doesn't work like that. At least, not very often. There was that whole thing with Job and the wager with Satan, but that was a long time ago. Anyway -- if it was the only way to save an unbeliever's soul, would you give up your place in heaven?

I have another Question regarding the bible.I am a Pagan but mean you no disrespect.
I am simply wanting a Christian view on this.
OK~ Armegeddon.....God will put an end to the existance of anyone who has not accepted him and his supposed word ..the bible...right?
God is in many ways our Parent right?
So I am a parent and i can not ever accept that a perfect parent, such as the creator of this world, would ever get fed up with their child and turn their backs on them.
My children may grow to lead lives that i disaprove of and do things i abhor....but i know that i will never give up on them.
They might reject me and go to live with their bioligical father who is a deadbeat dad in every sense of the word and begin to live their lives according to his standards( which are appalling)~ but still i would never reject them as completely as the bible states God will do.
But in Revelations it states there will come a day when the God from the bible will do just that...
Your thoughts on this?

My partner works away, and while he is gone, I have to record games for him, then he spends a lot of time when he is at home, watching them. This can be a bit irritating. Also, he is British and I record NFL. He is supposed to like football(soccer) for goodness sake. At least I understand that! No disrespect, but I just don't get it.

This is just a quote from the Talmud that I thought others may enjoy...

"Woman was created from the rib of man.
She was not made from a part of his head to top him,
nor was she made from his feet to be trampled on.
She was created out of his side to equal him,
under his arm to be protected by him
and near his heart to be loved."

I am wanting to know the Christian opinion on my view of a few different parts of the bible. Which i will ask about in seperate questions.
I will be honest i am a Pagan, but i mean you no disrespect.

Ok~ In the bible there is a quote~ Thou shalt have no other Gods before me~ Is the bible not confirming the existance of other Gods?
Thanking you in advance for your informative and respectful answers.
Bright Blessings

I have discussed this with several different women, almost as an experiment. Men always seem to have the same complaint: Why don't women want it more? Why don't they do what I want? Well that is a two part answer--A lot of men are horrible at sex (no foreplay/too quick) and men don't understand that sex is more emotional with women: You can't be rude to a woman all day and expect her to happily jump into bed with you despite what television says. You also can't lay around all day and ignore her except when you decide it's time to be intimate. Sometimes it seems men are a whole other species altogether. Maybe all men should have to take a course in being husbands when they are very young.
