If God is omnibenevolent, why does He leave the bad in the world?
If God is omniscient, why does he ignore the bad in the world?
If God is omnicapable, why doesn't he end of the bad in the world?

Have you collected holiday and Christmas dishes over the years, or have dishes handed down that are a holiday tradition?
I have a part of a set that belonged to my mother, roses with gold trim, that I use for special intimate meals.
For my big meals, I have a set of Amberstone and another set of Marcrest that I have been collecting for 40 years. I have enough to serve about 30 people! If my house would hold them! I usually augment them with Christmas and holly serving pieces, and pressed glass dessert dishes.

As a person living in a free democratic Christian society, it puzzles me what other religions believe in. I'm not belittling others, just wondering what their rationale is for not believing what we take as truth ?

From what I know about the reflexive and IR verbs, it would be:

Je me souvenis.

But I've also seen it written:

Je me souviens

Which one is right?

Suppose you have been away from someone or something that you love for a long time. Then you get together again and, of course, you wanna spend as much time as you can with that person or thing you once missed so much. My question: what expression do you use to express the idea of " iwanna spend time so as to stop missing it or her or he...? in other words, I want to stop this longing feeling...

i lost a friend Dec 1, 2007, this past saturday. It hurts really bad and the sorrow has actually turned to anger. anger of life. i just keep thinking of how he started his day before he was shot down at 8:30p.m by someone who was so evil. i think about how many people he talked to that day or how he had planned his day out to be. He just had a baby girl 3mos i see him being with his baby and the other kids or talking to his mom telling her he'd be home whenever. He never got to see that and now his life being taken has hurt not only me but his family and everyone who loved him. why? why are people born into families that abuse them or harm them? we have no say so of anything but the present time. We couldnt chose our parents. NO one living asked to be here. Why should those who suffer, suffer for someone elses mistakes in life? i think the world is just f'kd up. i mean its not right that someone has to die so young. He just turned 28. I read about an 18 and 9 yr old getting killed why

I am a single mother of four one who is deaf.
Anyways I just moved a month ago thinking things would be ok, but they are not they only seem to be getting worse & worse. I am absolutly stressing out & I dont know what to do.
Besides not being able to do anything for my kids for Christmas. Now my check didnt come in the mail so I wasnt able to pay rent, I am late w/no money.
I owe 175 on my eletric. I received a letter that once it reaches 245 that they can still shut me off during winter months.
Today I received a letter from my old landlord & he wont give me my security deposit back which I REALLY need. I have no money to get a lawyer not even 50- for small claims to fight it. He is making up all this stuff to keep it. I dont know what to do I am litterally stressing. If it wasnt for my kids that I love I think that I would go crazy. If anyone can please help me at all I would really appreciate it. If not can you atleast pray.Thank You so much & god bless

I know all about the supernatural powers and the "God's my father" rhetoric, ok, but what was the real motive by which Christ became subversive against the Roman Empire?
What was his political agenda?

Prominent creation scientist Em Adjineri (she's baa-aack) has recently discovered a mummified hadrosaur that disproves evolution. By "discovered," I mean she skimmed an article about it.

It is clear that such a dinosaur proves the Creation "Museum" in Kentucky's claim that people and dinosaurs coexisted. There have never been any examples of animals other than humans capable of mummifying a corpse.

Since there's no evidence for animals that mummify corpses, animals that mummify corpses can't exist (right, atheists?). Therefore, that dinosaur must have been mummified by humans. But if humans mummified that dinosaur, they must have known it when it was alive. It was probably their pet, like Dino on that documentary "The Flintstones."

Since the Bible is the only source that claims that dinosaurs and humans coexisted (Job 40:15), and the Bible is accurate on that point, the entire Bible must be literally true. Therefore, creationism is a better theory than evolution.

I have had the most awful day. Firstly I was told that my ex Mother in law is about to die in hospital (never did like her but she is my kids Grandma and they are upset) then my friend gave birth to a lovely little boy while I was away and I was supposed to be her birth partner but I missed it and I was SO looking forward to it. Then my daughter-in-laws Mum who is lovely had to have a radical mastectomy today. To top it all I had a big "difference of opinion" with a manager at work in the hospital. I think I will go into hibernation.

So, I posed this exact sentiment before, and since I forgot to post in the form of a question, somebody reported it as a violation. So, I am asking for your feedback once again.... The Bible, and Jesus tell followers to love others as Jesus loved us. And even to PRAY for our enemies. To turn the other cheek, and that if someone asks for your jacket to give them also your shirt.
It seems this country (USA) particularly is full of purported Christians who only pass judgement on those not in exact line with their own beliefs, this includes people of other religions, and even those of other demoninations of Christianity, which in and of itself is against what the bible tells us, we are supposed to stand together as Christians. Instead of turning the other cheek when attacked, we turn our back when others are attacked, and oft times even do the attacking. 30 million children a year die of starvation, and Christians are some of th wealthiest ppl in the world, why not do something good?
