I think A narrow mind is better because it is a focused mind.
A broad mind is just a code word to describe:
a sandal wearing, pot smoking, pornography addicted "whatever man" type of attitude. A broad mind does not care about anything specific. - am I right?

I am trying to buy the perfect Christmas gift for a wonderful guy. I found a Fossil University of Kentucky watch and he is a huge UK fan. Do you think this is a good gift? Is Fossil still "in"? Is a watch a good gift for a first year Christmas gift?

... just for the ladies on my list? My fiance is buying for the guys.

I'm trying to streach my money as far as I possibly can this Christmas... we have 2x more gals than guys and with both of our families combined there are a LOT of people to buy for. We were still wanting to put away some money for the wedding this month AND have enough cash to travel to his parents' house this Christmas (they live out of state).

I was thinking about knitting scarves & hats for the ladies (in their favorite colors) and maybe purchasing hand made candles to match. Now, after finishing my fourth scarf & hat set, I'm having doubts. They turned out as well as I'd hoped but are these really good gifts?

Ladies, if you got this present from your sister, sister-in-law-to-be, daughter, etc. would you think she was a cheap?

The disciples did it, Jesus did it, in fact all followers in the first century did it. Where in the Bible did the commandment come that the preaching of the good news were to stop. That most christians didn't have to do that anymore.

This is what Jeremiah says:

We, as a society, all have our own beliefs that we will believe in, and our own beliefs in how we want to live our lives, but what is it about certain religions and followers of those religions, that make them bash others for not believing in what they believe in. I am a very free willed person and very open minded, and have found truth, to a certain extent, in certain religions. I am not a person to judge another person because of what they do or do not believe in, but I do pass judgments when another person will think less of somebody just because they don't follow the beliefs they have. We all have our own minds and opinions, and I become saddened each day when somebody will take on such a bias view about somebody that is different then them. I thought the point of religion was to share with, learn from, and embrace yourself to and with others, and not judge them for not being or feeling the same way that you do.

When disfellowshipped or disassociated from the congregation we are cut off from all the others as a safe guard of THEIR spirituallity. Have you ever realized that it is a safeguard for us as well? Not by shocking us back into the religion, but by shocking us into reality. I have never seen things more clear than I have once being away from their control. How about you?!

....MAGICAL MUSHROOMS? The Bible never tells us exactly what manna was and where it came from, but there are many Old Testament passages which describe its physical qualities and conditions associated with its appearance.
Clearly, the manna was something of great spiritual power since the Hebrews treated it with such reverence and even went to such great lengths to see that manna be given to future generations. We must also consider the covenant that the Jewish people held with God which was celebrated through the act of circumcision. Why was this covenant with God associated with the removal of foreskin from infant males. Why not a tattoo, scar, article of clothing or jewelry? Perhaps the answer is that the circumcised penis bears a remarkable resemblance to psilocybe mushroom just before the partial veil has broken away from the mushroom caps and they are at their greatest potency.

your God says that we become ill because of our sins. you also believe that we are all born with the same amount of sin.

well but how come then that some 2 week old babies are more sick than others?

if we are born with the same amount of sins than babies shouldnt be more sick than others as they cant do anything wrong.

so how do you explain this?

There is this guy, and he is pretty homophobic. He is Muslim. However, I find him to very peculiar. He claims to Muslim, and yet he is the most vein person I have ever met in my life. He waxes his eyebrows, and is extremely flasy and brags about his money and cars. Now, doesn't modesty play a role in the Muslim faith? He also has loads of pictures of pornographic material as in, naked women on his myspace. It is very ironic and funny to me.

Now, he's single. He has never been with a woman. He is 31. He is still a virgin. He openly admits this. However, he always, always stares at me. It is quite distracting. But, he's pretty homophobic as he stated he was due to his religion.

is this guy just a closet-case and using his religion as an excuse? I think so. i don't feel he knows much about Islam as he is the total opposite of everything a Muslim stands for. What do you think?

In this modern world we live in many couples do not get married. We used to know it as living in sin. The child from such a union was always called a bast**d. Should that term be stricken from religious teaching. We live in a changing world and religion should change with it. I am a married person with grown up kids but it is their world now.

JW's why is it that every time my residnet JW visits me he reads from a New World order..I mean NEw world translation

and why is it when we compare verses his edition always omits the necessary words which qualify Jesus as God?

New International:

Matthew 28:16-19

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

NWT:

However, the eleven disciples went into Gal´ilee to the mountain where Jesus had arranged for them, and when they saw him they did obeisance, but some doubted.And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations

Is he like a fallen spirit...?

2007-11-15 04:21:32 · 8 answers · asked by ashley 3 in Religion & Spirituality

When we come across inconsistancies... it is important to determine what makes most sense and what therefore is false... and basically as regards Satan and doing wrong, there are only three possible options:

#1. Satan has free will somehow... despite angels, including those who are falling, having no access to do such.
That said, there is no way for them to make the choice to do wrong unless they have the aforementioned "free will".

#2. God makes Satan do evil things... which removes the need for free will, but likewise removes God's omnibenevolance. Oops.

#3. Satan isn't evil and doesn't do evil. Christians might disagree... but Jews would claim that Satan is simply acting under God's will as a means of testing for humans to determine their worthiness... which means he isn't technically evil at all.


So.... putting aside the distinct possibility of all of this being nonsense and neither God nor Satan existing.... WHICH of the above 3 is it?
