I want to learn Spanish?
Im 22 and I've heard it all. "You can't learn it because the puerto ricans speaks GHETTO spanish" "Youll never learn it because the language changes all the time" "Your black, why are you trying to be puerto rican" Well I just want to be bilingual. lol Its as simple as that. My first choice was Italian, but Spanish is easier..and spoken more in America. Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions on how should I start learning? I listen to the spanish radio every morning on the way to work just to get the feel of the pronounciation, I sleep with the spanish channel on, and I practice speaking it to workers in the grocery stores. BUT PLEASE give me suggestions in bulk. Other than going to Spain or dating a Spanish guy (even though you guys are hot!) Thank you so much in advance .....!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that homosexuals should be respected and that they should be treated fairly. but i dont think they should be granted the right to get married ! Because marriage, according to the bible, should be between a man and woman. Marriage is a very sacred thing ! and that's why every where in the universe, most people feel the same way, they think that two people of the same sax should ne get married !

My hamster is very naughty and I am afraid that Jesus will refuse to save him... I know Jesus accepts me, but I don't think I would want to hang out with him if he didn't let me bring Fluffin into heaven. Or is it like people...? You can be evil and naughty all your life, but on your death bed if you ask for forgiveness you will go to heaven... No matter how many babies you killed?

I had very good reasons for getting divorced and do not question that. I also do not question that I am completely forgiven, as I have asked and receive God's grace in this. I am struggling with going forward though. Yes, I have prayed, a lot. I appreciate all the spirit filled answers that I can elicit from all you good folks. I love all variety of opinions, but I know all about the secular opinions. I am looking for some good Christian opinions, here. Thank you so much.

Matthew 28:19 (New International Version)

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,

Acts 2:38 (New International Version)

38Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

So which one is valid and which one isn't valid? Or are they both valid procedures?

She said "poor Christians deserve charity during the holidays", and when ask, "What about Jews?" she answered "Of course, Jews are people"

Do you agree with her?

I am a Christian. I believe the Word and God and have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of my life.I stand firm on the Word of Truth and I can feel the peace and love of Jesus inside of me. He is alive in me and has shown himself clearly in my life time and time again. I have peace that surpasses human understanding and I am content and excited to live each day in Him.

Therefore, I am amazed at all of this. People going through so much trouble to disprove the Bible. The question/comments that are posted to contradict Christians and their belief in God are amazingly ignorant; lacking truth and substance. Its almost as if you feel better claiming their is no God instead of facing the fact that there is.

If you dont believe in God. Then fine don't believe but You will NEVER be able to PROVE that God isnt real......because He is!

I believe most of the people in the world "for not saying all" has heard something from the bible. It is a book that hasn't lost it's power to reach people over centuries. All the books that has been written about other religions or beliefs like the atheist hasn't had the power to get in to a court room, to make people swear by it. No other book has had the authority to form part of the base of a country, that has the phrase on their money "In God we trust" I belive the bible has a power that no one in this world coul ever defeat. It is the word by which I stand.

This is with regard to the saudi gang rape and I feel it is the responsibility of every muslim to come forward and clarify that how the QATIF GENERAL COURT and it's judge is making a mockery of the SACRED SHARIAH LAW. You can read the case details from the link given below. There are some deep dents and surprisingly none of the scholars are coming forward to point them out. If this is out of respect that saudi is the homeland of ISLAM and our beloved PROPHET MUHAMMAD(P.B.U.H), then let me tell you with pride that had HE(P.B.U.H) been around, situation would'nt have been as ugly as it seems now. Here are the flaws in the judgement.:-
N01:- There is no denying that ISLAM is ver strict about interaction of opposite sexes not in blood relation and being the homeland of ISLAM Saudi is liable to implement the SHARIAH LAW. QURAAN says it is "HARAAM" for men and women who are not relatives to each other, to interact without any urgent and justifiable purpose. However, SHARIAH LAW does'nt say that mere meeting of two strangers will be considered AN ACT OF FORNICATION. This means that if SAUDI has a law which states that when a girl is found in public with a stranger it will be construed as an act of fornication, she should be lashed at 90 times, this is purely their interpretation of SHARIAH LAW. Hence the inherent FLAW in this rule cannot be burdened on the sacred nature of SHARIAH LAW.

N02.The girl was not found doing any indecent act with the man in the car. As per SHARIAH LAW sketched by PROPHET MUHAMMAD(P.B.U.H), a woman's modesty is respected to such an extent that any man walking on the road cannot pass comments on her piety. Hence HE(P.B.U.H) clearly said that only when four people, whose character is held in high esteem by the people of that locality or region and are highly trustworthy, give witness that they were aware of the girl's immoral character and sexual involvement with that particular man, can she be held guilty of fornication(this again in absence of any obvious proofs). In this case, who gave that witness? As far as details of the case are known, her accompanying the stranger in that car was used as an evidence to object on the credentials of her character, this is absolutely against the rule precribed by the PROPHET(P.B.U.H), how can they do this?

N03.Even if I assume that the girl was proven guilty of her immoral involvement with the man, how can the judge increase the lashes from 90 to 200 out of personal grudge with the girl for influencing and aggravating the media ?

N04. When a man is found guilty of involvement in an act of fornication, he is punished with "stoned to death" that is when the girl is married and to be lashed at when the girl is unmarried. Then how come the rapist are not given anything even close to a death penalty? Rather they have been given only 2-9 years imprisonment, after all their act in no way confirms respect for the girl's modesty and shame? Are there political reasons for this, considering that the judge is appointed by the king?
why don't all muslims come out and lambast at this mockery that the QATIF GENERAL COURT is making of the sacrecy of SHARIAH LAW, only augmenting misconceptions in the minds of nonmuslims?

Why is it that when something great happens to someone, they give all the credit to god? Examples: winning the lottery, someone survives something bad. But when something bad happens, no one blames god for not saving everyone. I didn't hear Kanye West blaming god for Hurricane Katrina. I don't hear anyone blaming god for the problems in Darfur. I don't hear anyone blaming god for not stopping the stray bullets from gangs killing children sleeping in their home. Wouldn't such a great god save everyone? Why is he only credited to good things?

I'm an educated girl. But I seriously don't know what shall I do?? I'm just passing my time at home. I'm not married. I myself don't like to get out for job because that then means an interaction with so many strange men and all. plus the environment where I live is certainly not so good, as for my family status. There are hundreds of girls working around, but then wearing Hijab and getting out for work isn't so possible. Cooking is my passion But in todays world when I wear Hijab, getting a job of my wish isn't possible.

Neways, What shall I do?
