for muslims calling God Allah when it is the word for God in their language? do people realize that the word "God" isn't God's name either?

There is a little girl in my son's class who is a Jehovah's Witness. He will be giving all the other kids a Xmas card and I don't want to either offend her by giving her one, against her beliefs, or to leave her out. She doesn't celebrate New Year either so I could really do with some advice ! Thanks in advance.

I say tax the rich 99% and tax the poor 0%. The gap between the have and the have not's has nothing to do with hard work. It has everything to do with family ties and underhanded business.

We have different versions of the bible....(example, King James, Duay Rheims, New Living Translation) They vary based on the transcripts from where the interpretation came from....is that the case with the Qur'an? If I wanted to purchase one for my own personal studies, is there an official version I would need to reference? And again, I am a Christian and I believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the Life,...and no one comes to the Father except through Him. So please my fellow Christians, do not try to save me. Christ has already done that. I am only asking this to further my knowledge and help me relate the gospel message through Christ. Only knowledgable answers please and please omit unnecessary comments. Thank you all! I appreciate it.

Someone asked an innocent question the other day about foods we don't like and I got multiple thumbs down for saying I don't like egg custard. Is this something the egg-custard intolerant of R&S need to worry about? Am I the only egg custard hater?

I don't want their peace that passeth all understanding.
I want understanding that brings true and lasting peace.

I don't want their Peace and Safety in Law worketh Wrath.
For God hath not appointed us unto (Law worketh) Wrath.

What sort of Peace do you want?

I'm in an intro computer science class in school and I'm only one of two girls in the class and I hate it. The teacher thinks I'm stupid, like on the first day he told every one to log in and he comes up to me and asks me if I know how to log in! And every time the class is working on something he has to ask me if I understand even though I have a Ain the class. Why is he such a jerk?

Gods word the Bible says:

Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

No matter who we are, we are all sinful, even Chrisitans, none of us are perfect. Nothing we could ever do could earn us right standing with God.

John 3: 16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

God does not want to condemn or judge you, he wants to be your friend, he wants you to know the immense love he has for you. So since we could not pay the price for our wrongdoing, he paid it for us by sacrificing his own son.

Luke 5:32
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

1 Timothy 1:16
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on

Is it a lifestyle choice or is unemployment at an all time high? It bugs me that they cannot get a job and try to get into the wallets of people who earn their living. Next time someone asks if i have any spare change i might ask them to sign a contract. Who thinks that would be an effective way to detter these begars?

I don't understand the double standard. Other races can have their own holidays, clubs, television channels and pretty much anything else you can think of. If a white person were to start a club for their culture it would be a racist thing to do. Other races can use the term "white boy" and it's no big deal. If a white person comments on another person's race it's a racist remark. Why should I feel ashamed to be proud of my culture?

Oh, and I'm not trying to press any buttons here. I love other cultures and I love the fact that there is so much diversity in the world. I'm just wondering why there is such a double standard.

As I was growing up ,my Dad, who worked in retail in London, used to bring me home 5 dresses, If I liked them all, I kept them. Things were chosen , for me.
When I got married, had 3 kids, didn't have the money to spend on myself.
Eventually spent money on myself, clothes wise, through catalogues.
Now, Partner gives me £200 to get something nice and I come back with nothing! I have been in tears before now when I have actually gone out to buy something I want but I just can't do it!
I remember seeing a pair of trousers in M&S for £49. and I just couldn't spend the money.
Most of my clothes are from 20 years ago, old faded and wrinkled, a bit like me really but, am I the only woman in the world who can't shop?

I love Christmas, but I am so tired of what to get _______ you fill in the blank questions in teh Christmas section. In every other section that I go to on YA there is subsections. I really wish there were some subsections in the Christmas section. I guess because it's probably only busy on a seasonal basis is why they don't sort the questions a bit further. I enjoyed the Christmas section in October and Novmeber, but OMG is it getting montonous? Not trying to trash the askers, but as a potential answerer, I am just finding it boring, does anyone else feel this way????

Where did this name originate from? Please give me points of reference that I can review for my own personal studies. Also, I am an evangelical Christian so please do not quote for me what I already know from my own faith. I am trying to better understand this religion so I can better relate my faith to them. Only muslims who are knowledgable in their faith answer please.

I live in an apartment and never see these people. I see the mailman, but it seems as if we have a different one each week. Do I buy them gifts and if so, what? I don't like giving food as a gift as it seems as if we eat so much this time of year anyway.
