Society & Culture - 19 November 2007

Hi there
Ok so I'm working as an English teacher here in China and the school i work at is organizing a Christmas party for the 22nd of December.
I'm in charge of doing a play with the students but to be honest, i have no idea what to do as i only know "the birth of jesus" play.

I want something that involves more around Santa and something that the students and the parents can enjoy.

any help would be mostly appreciated.

thanks in advance

secret?

Throughout the Gospel of Mark, Yeshua made every attempt to conceal His true identity as Ha'Meshiach (the Messiah), why did He do that?

This Messianic Secret can also be found in the Gospel of Matthew...

Even the demons immediately recognized who He was, but Yeshua (Jesus) suppressed their confession, why?

Yeshua (Jesus) even prohibited the public profession of those who experienced miraculous healing through Him, why?

Yeshua (Jesus) even used His parables to keep "outsiders" from knowing the secret, why would Yeshua (Jesus) not want His Messiah-hood revealed?

He made commands to His audience and His disciples to not reveal who he was after His performance of Messianic wonders, again, why the secrets?

I've just finished reading Waleed Aly's People Like Us which is about how a deadly combination of arrogance and ignorance by both Christians and Muslims is fuelling fanaticism. People who claim there are no Muslim "moderate" critics should read this! He also criticizes some "liberals" and discusses how the concept of jihad has been distorted.

Well, I have been thinking for a while on this subject. But let's face it. Most people don't go out as much as they used to. I mean, I hardly ever see kids playing outside around my neighborhood, and I know that every one of my friends in highschool has a MySpace account. And the main purpose of said MySpace is to communcate with others and meet new people. But how are they actually communicating? Only so much can be told with words and pixels, but actions are louder than words. With all this technology surrounding us, one has to ask if we are alienating ourselves in an illusional way. For instance, the telephone connects us with people at far away distances. But that's just an illusion. We really don't know what the person is doing on the phone, and whether or not you are talking to them, you are still alienated from that person. What are your thoughts?

Our neighbors moving in about 4months ago. They're renting. There's a man (about 30) and a woman (about 20) and they have a son (about 3).

We've had a few problems with them before. They like to do their washing (with a very loud washing machine) at about 4am. They drop bottles and cans into their rubbish bin at about the same time. Everything they do, it's as loud as possible.

A few months ago they decided to chop fire wood with an chainsaw at 6.30 on a weekend. I went over there and gave them a mouth full.

This morning my Mum was woken by them yelling, screaming and swearing at each other. She's heard the screaming and her crying. My Mum said that it's none of our business but I think it is because of the time of day and the volume.

We live in a very child friendly neighborhood so I believe their behavior is unappropriate. What do you think?

All that is beautiful, in much of the Koran, becomes "invalid by paradox" because of the vague fanatically interpreted attack drone threads entwined within its teachings. Jesus and Mohammed could easily have or actually are best friends, according to the selfless all inclusive ideology they lived by, and yet, a "praise the lord and pass the ammunition"/ "kill the infidels" seem to be the damaging aspects of opposite parallels of so called Christians and Muslims alike.

We're both still in high school. He's not just someone who calls himself a Catholic; he's devoutly Catholic. I'm less than perfect, while he doesn't swear, is extremely generous, etc. He's even considering a nonsectarian college. Other than that, we have a lot in common, and we can make a conversation out of anything. I've considered asking him out to a dance or something like that, but I just don't know. Any ideas?

So, I want you to defend your faith. Here are my questions:

1) Lot offers his two virgin daughters to supplant the two male guests in his house. What lesson should I learn from this? That women are worthless?

2) There were cave paintings found in Syria only a few weeks ago that date back eleven thousand years ago. That completely contradicts the notion that God created this universe in 7 days. Furthermore, if you should tell me that it is not to be taken literally - then I will tell you that everything else in the bible should be taken literally as well. You can't have it both ways!

3) How did you all come up with characteristics for God - that he is omnipotent, omniscient, etc? Last I checked, there was no record that indicated such a thing. Is it because he split the sea into two? Oh, but I'm not sure whether I should take that literally?

4) How do you know he is all powerful? Is any being who creates a universe "all powerful?" Maybe creating a universe isn't so hard.

The poor will always be with us. Often times we cannot change the mindset of the poor in a way that will bring change in their lives. But can we help their children break out of the poverty mindset?

I've been with this guy for 3 years. At first I liked the fact he was proud of his heritage, and I started to become infatuated while learning about learning about Judaism. He's Jewish by heritage, but we're both atheists. Since then, it has gone DOWNhill. Him, his brother, dad and friends laugh and joke about gentiles. It's like we're the lowest creatures on Earth. Earlier, him and his brother were talking about how Jew's naturally have a higher IQ than white european's and african american's (by 30 pts). His mom isn't full Jew btw.

This goes on nonstop. At least once a day I hear something about how Jews make our life so great. What should I do? Am I stuck with it? His brother is worse, he only keeps friends that are Jews (most celebrities which you should know).

UGH! He just tried telling me that Muslims are worthless!!! I'm sick of it.

I run a small business. I am closed Sundays and Mondays. I am always at my store and only have part time help that comes in to help me in the afternoon. When reps call, I pretty much tell them any time between 11-5 will work for me Tues-Fri. I don't need a set appointment because I am always there. A few weeks ago I had a lady call to set up an appointment. I remember looking on the calendar to see what day it was. When I saw it was not a Monday I said fine. I thought it was the very end of Nov. Well tonight I checked my messages at my store and this rep called at 11 saying she was sitting in my parking lot and I was closed. She said that we had an appointment. I would not make an appointment on a Monday because it is the day I am closed, unless I looked at the wrong calendar month when scheduling with her. I feel terrible and have been looking forward to purchasing from this company. How do I apologize for missing the appt?
