Society & Culture - 7 December 2007

I have had a flat tire for three days now, I cant change it. I have asked my son everyday to come over and change it for me, he came over today and used the last of my toilet paper but didnt change the tire -

Now I am sitting here with no toilet paper and no water and he isnt answering his phone.

Is there someone you can call who does things for disabled people ? I cant afford to pay someone to come and change it who will charge me about $40 to do it.

Does anyone have any ideas?

who made the first person in the world?

at almost 8 years old, my sister Diane asked THE question of the year:
who made the first person in the world?

my dad's atheist, and my mom won't go against his ideals, therefore not teaching my sisters about God, the creation of the world, or Adam and Eve. my dad's always been the one to tell us that if we want to pursue religion on our own, we are free to do so. it's only a little difficult considering that we can't study it in his presence.

so as an attempt to dodge the subject, he answered
"ask your teacher. see what she says"

if you're not religious, what would you tell your kid??

I don't see many young preachers, but I would like to be one, besides having a good message and being an example, what else might I want to think about before diving on into it?

Like, honestly? There is so much proof of it happening, yet to this day people deny that the Holocaust happened. What are the arguments? Also, what are the Muslim reasons for denial?

Please dont give me piece of crap answers like, because theyre German or because theyre stupid or because theyre ignorant. To me no one is stupid if they can intelligently back up their answer and convince people of something. Just look at Adolf Hitler. If someone can give me an actual answer, preferably from an actual Holocaust denier, then thatd be great.

Thanks

Jews of Judeaism have God as the I AM (Ex. 3.14)
Islam=Iislarri(sealed together) (when read btwn the lines)
CHRISTIANITY=C H RIST I A IV I liT l.v (where God=H ie G+o+d=7+15+4=26=2+6=8=H
so
C GOD RIST I A IV I....
where IV I =IIII I...

so the world's 3 top religions can have the same God if you chose to have faith in what you see in the words of the english bible.

aka from a I AM and larri and IVI RIST...
the God of 3 faiths, but unfortunately most can't accept that requires a living God(H) such as myself.

the whole
I AM=I AIVI(sealed together)= i am= larri (cut & sealed together)
comes from a roman perspective cause Jesus and that angel of revelation alluded to Rome being the city that rules over the kings of the earth. And If God rules over that city as the ONE, and scripture is correct in saying God is onle One, then the emperor's who ruled Rome were actually many. But God is only One forever as the bible stated. Ex. 3.14, said God is I AM not emperor. thoughts?

In the November 13, 1995 issue of Christianity Today, page 31, we read, "Questions about the authority of Scripture had been troubling the young preacher (Billy Graham) for weeks. Knowing that the matter must be settled in his mind if he ever hoped to preach with authority and power, he wrestled with his doubts until he was able to pray; 'Oh God, I cannot prove certain things. I cannot answer some of the questions my friends are asking. [Yet, here and now I am ready to accept the Bible] by faith as the Word of God.'"

If you had been hurt intensely by someone you loved (I'm not talking physical hurt), but they thought they were sparing you even greater hurt by doing so, could you forgive them? Or is the very fact that someone you loved hurt you unforgivable?

I moved out of my paren'ts house two years ago and for these last two Christmases, Santa hasn't been to my house to bring me any presents. He always used to bring me presents on Christmas, could he maybe not know my new address? I tried writing to him at the North Pole to give him my new address but I don't know if he got it or not. I put out milk and cookies for him last year, but he never came. Do you think maybe I haven't been good enough this year and I got on his naughty list?

Christians claim that the Bible has prophecies that have already come to pass and yet more to come.

If the Bible truely carries the words of God then how come the Bible never mentioned anything beyond the authors knowledge?

In the old days cars, planes, computers, tall buildigs, etc. did not exist or even be concieved of therefore not even mentioned in the Bible.

Does this not imply that the information in the Bible only reflects the sort of knowledge ancient people possessed?

If the Bible really could prophecise it could have mentioned modern objects in it which would prove prophecies to be valid.

Free interpretation of the Bible is just an excuse on trying to make prophecies fit modern occurances.

Saying that lotus rising symbolizes a plane is totally absurd.

Once your mind is deluded you could interpret the Bible in anyway you'd like it.

You know what? Give me the same verse and I'll interpret it anyway i'd like it and make it look sensefull.

, or that Jesus and the Holy Ghost are God. They say that the one ressurected Lord Jesus is God the Father, Jesus Himself and the Holy Spirit. My curious mind is simply telling me that Christ literally died, so it so for the God the Father who is Jesus and the Holy Spirit too. Help for clarification.

Definition: The central doctrine of religions of Christendom. According to the Athanasian Creed, there are three divine Persons (the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost), each said to be eternal, each said to be almighty, none greater or less than another, each said to be God, and yet together being but one God. Other statements of the dogma emphasize that these three “Persons” are not separate and distinct individuals but are three modes in which the divine essence exists. Thus some Trinitarians emphasize their belief that Jesus Christ is God, or that Jesus and the Holy Ghost are God.

i've heard that the bible was edited over the centuries. huge chunks of the original were clipped out and parts were added. so what was removed? i've heard that stuff about adam's first wife, lillith, was all removed. and what about all the stuff lost in translations. translations can be woefully inaccurate. i've heard that in the hebrew bible, the word translated to mean virgin in the case of vergin mary simply means young woman. so she wasn't a virgin at all, in the original sense.

so what parts were removed and where can i find them? is there an estimate of how far the bible has strayed from it's original meaning?

i'm not looking for answers along the lines of "the bible is unchanged since the day it was written, it's the word of god." you can reply with that if you want to, but i'm looking more along the lines of an objective statement of the bible's changes. i'm especially interested in the removed chunks.

so do you have any information? thanks in advance. i appreciate it.
