I know people ask 'What is the meaning of life' a lot.

I'm not interested in what it is, I'm just interested to know who already knows it.

Jesus tells Peter to feed the Lambs and the Sheep.Today many are looking for a church that will feed them.Does it appear that to many of us are wanting to be feed, when we should be feeding?


John 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
John 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
John 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

Exo 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Or don't believe it is correct? And then actually claim I'm not being good when I ask about things such as this regardling witches and their wickedness? Is it because 'christians' think they "have need of nothing" like the 'witches' and yet are "wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked", or are they 'witches' themselves?
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

When I make you a promise I do my best to keep it, but I pinkie promise I will take it to my grave. Are you like that? What is your "pinkie promie"? I don't want to know what you promised, but what do you call it? A pinkie swear, cross your heart, spit shake? How many times have you broken it?

Do you think that American, Canadian, and Latin American institutions and businesses should consider how they have benefited from slavery? How might our wealthy classes have benefited from slavery or indentured servitude? Do we need to consider reparations? How would this take effect? Would money make up for the damages of slavery?

If you are in favour, might you state your ethnic identity and how would this have affected your thinking in this matter?

any question, because it never makes sense no matter which side you are on, and it isn't only government that should practice democratic freedom. Here's the question that was deleted -

I don't think anyone is home at yahoo.

One jerk got my answer deleted when all I said was God is unconditionally loving. Yahoo did not even reinstate that one.

Seems like these vets are of a lower life form....just because
I managed to get through four years of military life during an unpopular war (Viet-Nam) and only come home with hi-pitch hearing loss due to flight line duty (which the VA denies
the claim)...now I have degenerative arthritis in both knees
and hips...I don't blame the service for this, but anyway, I'm
a very much disabled veteran...whether service connected
or not, but who wants to hear about an old fizzel and his
arthritis pain?

I asked my mom about this a few days ago and she said it was just political reasons but I want to know why. What political reasons? My dad recently went on a business trip to Estonia and there was a Russian that heard him speaking English and started yelling and cursing at him. (by the way ~ I don't mean to offend anyone and I'm certainly not saying that all Russians are like this. Please don't be offended. I'm just a curious 13 year old girl.)

Does the sectarian fighting and inability of countries with theocracies and religious clerical law, like Iran to treat all with equality and human rights give you ANY pause?

Have you contemplated in your wish for America to have Christian laws:

1. WHICH Christian sect will be the one calling the shots and dictating our laws and public policies? Southern Baptists, Conservative evangelicals, Liberal evangelicals, Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Mormons etc?

2. How you will deal with non-Christian American citizens? Will they also have to live according to religious governed laws if it is not part of THEIR religious belief? Will they be treated equally?

3. When you use your bible to rewrite our laws, Constitution etc. what approach will you use? A literal one? Which biblical laws will you impose on the general public? Which will be exempt?

4. Would all judges HAVE be to part of the chosen Christian faith to practice?

How exactly do you see your vision for the US working?

My girlfriend's roommate attends an evangelical Christian church. We all attend a premier American university in the midwest. This particular young woman is brilliant, stunningly beautiful, athletic, humble, the whole 9 yards.

My girlfriend attended the church with her recently, where someone spoke about a planned mission trip to a Buddhist country. The plan was to go and "give these people hope." So the non-saved are hopeless. This drives an enormous wedge between this church and virtually anybody else who thinks for themselves. So what does she do? Does she challenge the notion at church that "other believers" are hopeless? Absolutely not. Does she preach to us about needing a relationship with God? Absolutely not. She remains neutral. She seems to know that preaching would force us to walk away, and maybe that disagreeing at church would ostracize her there as well.

How strong can friendships really become when there are these fundamental differences?

15 Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”

Do you believe they have our best interest at heart? Do you think they're very deceptive to the public? When I say deceptive, I don't mean the stuff they *have* to keep top secret. I mean stuff that the public probably should know.

Your thoughts?
