i was really depressed and felt like such a loser yesterday and today. i said a prayer to God that it was okay if he sent a lightning bolt from the sky to kill me. when i got out of school i saw a double rainbow in the sky. then today i didnt feel much better and i saw a white dove. i live in florida and white doves are pretty rare here. im 14 and ill be 15 in a week if that helps. so could this possible be a sign?

I know which one I'd choose.

Who wouldn't make that choice?

I mean no disrespect to Judaism. I have some very good friends that are Jewish.

It's just that this notion of Jesus being Jewish is just ludicrous. Had he been a Jewish guy, wouldn't his last name have been Jesus Jew instead of Jesus Christ? Obviously Jesus was a Christian. Only a naive liberal can get that basic fact confused.

And gay sympathizers?
Just ask any religious question and they come flocking in like vultures on a road kill.
Are ya'll feeling a bit insecure about who you are? Feel as if you always have to justify yourselves to people of faith? Especially those who adhere to true scripture?

Some say that Jesus is not the messiah because Jeconiah, an ancestor of Jesus was "cursed". Let's see what this "curse" was...

Jeremiah 22:30 - "This is what the LORD says: 'Record this

man as if childless, a man who will not prosper in his

lifetime, for none of his offspring will prosper, none

will sit on the throne of David or rule anymore in

Judah.'"

The verse is absolutely correct, which is why Jesus never

sat upon a throne in Judah. That doesn't mean he cannot be

king "ANYWHERE ELSE"! (heaven)

Selecting "none of his offspring will prosper" from the

rest of the verse is intellectual dishonesty, as there is

no period after that phrase. In other words, the phrase is

not meant to stand alone, rather it means that none of his

offspring will prosper as kings in Judah.

For those who say that Jesus is not the messiah because

one of the genealogies says he is son of Nathan and not of

Solomon, they are wrong because the genealogies in Matthew

and the one in Luke both show Shealtiel and Zerubbabel. In

other words, shealtiel and zerubababel have the "blood" of

Solomon, and so can trace Jesus back to Solomon no matter

what genealogy you choose.

Genealogies found in:
Matthew 1:1-16 Luke 3:23-38

Opinions?

there are some people would believe that God healed people in the Bible days but He no longer does. Some say that God "puts" sickness on people. I know God to be a healer. But what do YOU believe?

**IF you don't believe in God at all....don't answer**

how can you explain the iridium level?

the fact that no large fossils are found above it for a great period of time, meaning it stratification time.

if you dont know iridium is only found in meteors , comets and other space objects, but yet its only found in small amounts in the layer where the K-T exstinction happened .

When they find questions that confuse them, challenge them stump them and back them into a corner with truth?

I don't see Christians and oter people of faith trying to get Atheists to leave? is that because they are insecure about being atheists?

Jesus was persecuted beyond comprehension and he warned us if he was persecuted we also would be, so we know what to expect from Scoffers, HOWEVER God deniers I assume take their orders from Dawkins who has a potty mouth and flips people the bird? not all atheists here, but many of you only know how to insult is that how you get your point across?

I've liked her for a very long time now, but recently I've decided to tell her how I feel. I think she feels the same... I'm not a shy person, but she's my best friend and I don't want to make things awkward if it's unrequited.

But I want to go for it. Any words of encouragement/advice? I don't want to chicken out.

I personally know some people who go to church on a regular basis and preach until the cows come home ..... but NONE of those people have ever donated their time to help people less fortunate ..... AND these same people constantly CRITICIZE me for doing good things [I volunteer my time, and I rescue stray cats ... etc.. etc...]

Doesn't this make them hypocrytical ... ?
What is wrong with these people..?

If you saw that your wife is starting to cover up her whole body and you cant see her curves or anything, only her eyes in public. Would you ask her to remove the long dress and go for the tight pants and tank top look?

We're traveling for Thanksgiving dinner this weekend and I have to prepare a side dish and take it with me. I must prepare it the day before and it must be able to travel in the car for 3 hours (can be cooled). Any thoughts of a great dish that tastes even better the next day? Many thanks.
