I know the requirements, and that isn't one of them. I'm just curious if you would put yourself through the horrors of crucifixion in order to enter Heaven.

He says that he does not have enough room to store them. Says that he does not want his new daughter to see him as less of a provider than Grandma and Grandpa. My wife loves to listen to people for clues as to what they would need or like and then tries to full fill those wishes. My take on it is the giver can give anything and everything they choose as long as it it not illegal or inappropriate like pornography, or a box of chocolates to a diabetic, or a box of cigars to someone trying to quit smoking. I beleive the receiver should graciously accept the gift with expressed appreciation. At that time the receiver can do anything with the gift they choose. They can return it to the merchant for a refund or exchange, can throw it away, can regift it, can hide it or store it, can use it, or what every they choose with no ramifications. Am I off base here.

When the major eras of exploration were taking place, why was it that God had not manifested Himself through, what are now considered to be, the essentials of civilised(?) religions?
Why were no native groups involved in the eucharist ceremony or a near equivalent. Did God not care enough for them that he let them remain ignorant of this fundamental necessity to christian belief.
Were there Muslim rites being followed by undiscovered and untutored aboriginal peoples or were their needs again ignored by God.
Why did the explorers not find previously undiscovered native peoples following the fundamental tenets of current true religions?
If, at that time there were a true religion, does it not follow that God would have revealed it to the whole world population?
Why did the worship of Quetzalcoatl not gently become similar to the worship of God, as we know it today, instead of waiting for the merciless conquistadors to introduce the God of love to the Aztecs by slaughtering them

Why kill people who already beleived in God, not just any god, but the God they also beleive in?
what was the point
They were charged with heresay, reading the bible
the bible says the beast will make a war with the saints
a saint is anyone who reads and obeys the word of God,
and i guess they looked into the future when it says in revelations the beasst would wage war against them
so why kill so m,any
what was the reason, what was the cause?
Anything other thasn the fulfilment of bible prophecy?
If this is the chruch that God set up, why kill so many people who were already Christians?
who posed no threat
who were not armed
why?
The beast waged war agianst the saints
Over 100 million Chrisitans killed in spain
population of spain is 40 million
Spain is still recovering from this
Is this anything other than bible prophecy of the revelations being fulfied
and the bible says it will happen again during the tribulation forcing sunday worship
why did it happen?

For those who profess to be good christians and who feel that those who are not christian and not of their religion obviously have not read their bible......
I offer to you a scripture to read from the KJV bible...it would be the book of St Matthew chapter 7 verses 22 and 23 and then come back and tell me that doing great works will get you into heaven. That is if you can look me in the eye and tell me that you take the bible literally....

Who in their right mind would wanna just keep bowing down, praising, and worshipping God 24/7 all the time without rest and never get to continue doing all the things they enjoyed doing on Earth, whatever those personal interests and hobbies maybe?
I'm not thrilled about that story of Don Piper seeing people singing and praising God non-stop in Heaven. I would rather be doing the things I enjoy doing.

My Jw preacher every time he knocks seems utterly convinced that Jesus rose as a spirit creature.
He tells me also that the New World Translation bible, is the most truthfyul and recommend one by the Watch Tower society:
This is what it says about the ressurected Jesus
36 While they were speaking of these things he himself stood in their midst [[and said to them: “May YOU have peace.”]] 37 But because they were terrified, and had become frightened, they were imagining they beheld a spirit. 38 So he said to them: “Why are YOU troubled, and why is it doubts come up in YOUR hearts? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; feel me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones just as YOU behold that I have.” 40 [[And as he said this he showed them his hands and his feet.]] 41 But while they were still not believing for sheer joy and were wondering, he said to them: “Do YOU have something there to eat?” 42 And they handed him a piece of broiled fish; 43 and he took it and ate it before their eyes.

and Jesus?
Jesus was sent by Allah, who supported Him with the Holy Spirit, to tell the world Allah's will (Koran 2: 87; 5: 110-117*).
Allah gave to the world Jesus, exalted Him above all others, and supported him with the Holy Spirit as proof of His sovereignty (Koran 2: 253*).
These are not my words, but, those of al Qua'aran.
Yet, Muslims deny Isa bin Maryum al Massihe's Divinity and condemn the Holy Spirit saying the Trinity is wrong!?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but, aren't you supposed to respect the People of the Book?
Why, then do some of you sow discord and make us oppose you?

If you believe (wrongly) that the Catholic Church was not created until a few centuries after Christ's death, then how is it you can find among ancient Christian writings the letters of Pope Clement I, who was Pope and Bishop of Rome from 88 AD to 97 AD ?
In the list of Popes......
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm
.. the first four are:
St. Peter (32-67 AD)
St. Linus (67-76 AD)
St. Anacletus (76-88 AD)
St. Clement I (88-97 AD)
So, how can this be if there was no Catholic Church or no Popes until the 4th century?
(Realize this is a rhetoorical question.)

I always think I've found the perfect gifts for people I give to, but when they unwrap it the look on their face is anything but pleased. You'd think I wrapped up a kitty doodle from the litterbox! I feel I've wasted my time and money.
I know one aunt who loves tea, so last year got her a tea sampler. Her comment - "I have tea from three years ago I haven't used yet!" A cousin has cats, so I got her a collectible cat figurine. She said, "I have so many, I don't know where I'm going to put this." Another cousin likes antiques and I got her some older pressed glass pieces, but still no apparent appreciation or enthusiasm for the costly gift. I can't seem to please anyone.
Any suggestions?

Why does is seem that christians thrive on being hated, does it give them the moral high ground to pass judgement on other religions or non-religions (atheists)? Baring in mind that the majority does not posses the necessary knowledge regarding these religions, which are vastly different to their own. Does this give them the false idea that somehow they can preach love and understanding on the one hand yet when it comes to that which is different they break it down and destroys (or try to) destroy it?
