I understand that everyone has their own spiritual beliefs. Why does everyone insist that their way is the only way? Can't you just accept the fact that one person believes one way and another believes something else? What gives anyone the right to say that someone else's beliefs are wrong because it is not the same that they believe?

'Twas the month before Christmas when all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying nor taking a stand.
Why the PC Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas - no one could say

The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a "Holiday."

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks, and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets are hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was nowhere to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-is-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Many other cases are pending. As long as people support such activity through financially supporting this filthy organization, how many more children will suffer do you suppose?

Christians, what would you do if the the Hindu God Vishnu appeared infront of you, informed you that your beliefs were wrong and then vanished?

Would you become Hindu?
Would you claim that this was the devil?
Would you think it was a hi-tech prank?
Would you think that it was a figment of your immagination?

Or something else?

Do your Rabbi's ever teach about the prophecies in the Tanakh that Jesus of Nazareth did fulfill?

Have you or would you ever consider that some of the Messianic prophecies were fulfilled by Jesus Christ during His first coming and the remainder will be fulfilled at His second coming?

This is just a curiousity question more than anything. I listen in amazement as women instruct men on how they need to be careful what they say because their feelings are so sensitive. That low self esteem causes them eating disorders etc. When I was in school, to the best of my memory, guys were always trying to get the girl's attention and she would have absolutely no mercy on his self esteem at all. If you want a movie example, look at what happened to Pedro (in Napoleon Dynamite) when he wrote a girl a note asking her to a dance and she replied with, NOO!! Not no thankyou, but NOO! I know this is just a movie but I've seen that a lot in real life too. How many men out there have experienced what I'm talking about? Please include details, like whether or not you asked her politely and not like a player etc. I'm only asking this question because I'm a bit confused with women feeling so mistreated because honestly it seemed the exact opposite for me in school.

NPR did a piece this morning about a commercial that aired in Italy.

It featured the usual manger scene with Maru and Jesus and the wise men bearing gifts, but instead of just the standard three with gold, francincense and myhrr, there was also a 4th wise man bringing a can of Red Bull.

Now, I thought it was hysterical, but apparently the Church didn't agree. I can't quite even see how it's offensive: it's just adding another person who is bringing a gift to the newborn King, right? Okay, so maybe baby Jesus isn't big on Red Bull. maybe He doesn't need a soft drink to give Him wings. But why would it be offensive? I think it was clever.

It's just my Mom and I and we are struggling financially this year. No one wants to put up a tree and decorations 'cause no one wants to take them down and we aren't having any commpany. I thought maybe I should atleast put some lights outside,right? I also got a OWUI (very stupid, I learned my lesson and now am very broke from lawyers and bail) and I am worried that I'll get jail even though it's my first offense. We don't have any family to go to. We would go on a vacation like a New York City or Vancouver Christmas but I screwed that up this year! I was thinking if I could volunteer for an organization that helps the needy with Christmas gifts. We do have enough money to buy some smaller gifts and toys but I'd like to help deliver them so I could see the kid's reactions! Is there such thing as "adopting" a family for Christmas? My dog may be having pups around New Years so that is one thing to look forward to. We live an hour from Chicago so we could go there. HELP!

I firmly believe & trust in the Scriptures as 100% accurate and Holy Spirit inspired......there's no question about that in my mind. But my question is really about what Peter & Paul were unctioned to say in their letters about the Scriptures:

2 Peter 1:20-21 “Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”

2 Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”

Do you think that Peter & Paul realized the eternal scope of what they said? The only Scriptures they had at this point was the Pentateuch, Isaiah, some of the writings of the prophets, and the letters that were being distributed throughout the NT church.

Your thoughts.
Thanks,

Primo

Would you think that was really God or would you think that was some special effect? Or would you say "There's a logical scientific explanation for that"?
