Sometimes I just feel overwhelmed with love for the beauty of Divine Truths that God has let distill on our souls. What a joy it is to know we are all children of God, with divine natures!

How blessed is God, who shares Light so abundantly with us all, speaking to our hearts and minds, in a "still small voice" that brings the greatest of joys!

Do you feel it? How does the "God feeling" feel for you? How do you describe that feeling... Using words from your own religion, so we can see how different people describe the same thing.

((((((((LOVE)))))))))

Please do not judge me or try to call me apostate. I am a sincere Christians with questions.

I would first like to let you know I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE TRINITY and so this is why I am asking.

Acts 10:25, 26 says "25 As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet and did obeisance to him. 26 But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I myself am also a man.”

Okay, Now the Watchtower seems to make a distinction between "doing obeisance" and "worship". In order to prove Jesus was not worshipped. But if there really is a difference, and Obesience is NOT the same as worship....

Why did Peter tell the man to get up....After all he wasn't worshipping him.

I really don't see a difference between obeisance and worship.

Several of the larger diocese in the Episcopal community are seperating from the American Church? Why? What do you believe is the cause of this division within Christianity?

Are christians offended by Santa saying merry christmas since Santa isnt christian? Or should we just rewrite all the childrens books, plays, movies etc to have him say something else, less offensive.

Would you go to a church with everyone a different race from you, sit at the veeery front of that church? For instance, let's say you were white. Would you go to an all black church and sit at the front and how would u feel? If you were just black, would you go to an all white church and sit at the very front? How would you feel? lol, Would you dance a little to the music?

I'm an outgoing individual, easy to get along with but I'm also a private person and get really annoyed when people ask personal questions. How can I respond tactfully without coming across as being a snob?

I'm at a loss for responses. I usually just say, "those are personal questions and I typically don't reveal personal information about myself. I'm a private person and if I decide I want you to know that information, I will tell you".

I realize in most cases, people are just curious but c'mon...there's a limit.

The type of questions I get asked are these: "How old are you?", "where do you live?", "are you married?", "do you have any children?", "why aren't you married?", "why don't you have any children?", "do you live alone?", etc..

The world is falling appart ( as we know it)..global warming, ( floods, hurricans, tidel waves, droughts ...ect ) We're ripping out the the few remaining rain forests to make MORE bio fuels, 'cos we almost used up all the fossil fuels.......The world seems to be commiting suicide.... yet we're still building, destroying, poluting with more and more efficiency.... And to top it all,the the "leader" of the most powerful nation on earth is a compete imbecile. Trying to start yet ANOTHER war..just so his disasterous political "experiment" can go out with a BANG.....
So he and all his buddies can make so more $ selling arms and the like, once they finally get kicked out of congress.
Russia has returned to the Tsars ( with out the culture) China is eating everbody...While the europeans sit around and discuss........
Man its depressing.
Can anybody out there give me a reason not give up...
Up untill now I could always find some sort of excuse, but now it's really getting hard.

English is not my first language, and both words seem to mean the same, to me. Is there any difference, in meaning or in usage?

Do you use both? If not, which do you prefer, and how/when do you use it?

Thank you for your answers! :)

I recently got into a bit of a debate about this over e-mail. We were discussing the fall of man. My opinion is that before God ever created the world He knew man would fall. This is why Jesus is called the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. Their opinion was that if God knew man would fall then God had set into motion intentionally all the evil man has done and thus God could not know man was going to fall.

What do you think? Do you think God knew man would fall before He ever created us?

Our local drug store has a "Sack it for Santa" thing they do. You buy a gift sack for a dollar (11x8) and fill it up with things for an area teen for Xmas. They say the teenagers get overlooked at the holidays and this is how they try to help.

question is, what would be the best things to fill the sack with? I want a good one that they would really like. If they don't get anything else for Christmas then maybe this can make things a little brighter for them, make things easier for a parent who can't afford anything right now.

I thought about getting some fun stuff and some functional stuff. A cute T-shirt or hoodie, some lotions(pretty ones), makeup, those types of things. I want the funtional stuff to be fun too so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If you were an metro teenager and you were not able to have a good christmas (one with no basics, not " I didn't get the new playstation " ungreatfulness), what are some things you might like to see? Things you need?

and we had more power in the government, would you willingly accept the laws changes we would make?
What if, instead of just seperating church and state, we made religion illegal. (remember this is hypothetical) Would you comply because we are the majority so we must be right? Or would you fight back for you individual rights and freedoms?
Why is it difficult for many of you to see why we don't want to live under your religious rules? Do you also realise that just because you are in the majority, it doesn't give you the right to be bullies?
Thoughts?

How is it that socks, an inanimate item have somehow developed a life of their own? I have seen a sock hanging in a tree in the park, seen one hanging from a telephone wire, I once saw on leap out of the window of a car ahead of me.

I have found socks (always one why is that?) in my yard that dont belong to me - how do they get there? I have seen a sock washed in with the tide.

They move from drawer to drawer in the house, they disappear from the washing machine - they turn up in unexpected places. I once had one fall out of my jean leg while I was shopping - I have seen them clinging to someone's back in the mall -

You dress a tiny baby to go out, come back a few seconds later and whats missing? A sock. I once watched one work its way off my sons foot while he was watching TV - inch by inch until it was free, then it immediately scooted under the couch. And disappeared

Of all the clothing we own what is it with socks?
