.....sick kids in under-funded hospitals in poor nations and so on. Could it really be that "God" only sends them to faith-heal at big crusades? ALSO, many of them claim that they can heal AIDS and "nothing is impossible with God" yet they are not flying over to Africa or South American countries to lay hands on and annoint with oil (and faith heal) the infected children and babies)?? the bible says that if someone is sick, the church elders or believers should lay hands on them and annoint them with oil. Is "God" not sending them to these people either? I doubt these children would be able to get into a healing crusade.

I was wondering since im in 5th grade, and i have a party tomorrow in the afternoon. Its a Christmas Party, before we leave, like a little celebration. But im getting a really bad cold and its hard for me to breathe through my nose and other things,and im going to the doctor at 9:00 in the morning tomorrow. the Party is around 1:00-2:00, but its hard for me to breathe and today was annoying cause i was blowing my nose all day. Do you think i should stay home tomorrow or go to school sick and uncomfortable to still be there for the party? im not sure! And when do colds usually go away? I hope im not sick for Christmas! Thanks and happy holidays!

scriptual and real world events posted that indicated Islam (meaning Peace by making all subject to [Islam's] Allah - a Muslim scholar's definition) IS violent . DO you think Q&A needs a new way of getting posts removed other than pulling them due to biased groups complaining ?

It seems that every time someone has an unplanned pregnancy, there are just dozens of people out there referring to the baby as "mistake". Why do people call babies mistakes? These babies will eventually grow up to be people, just like anyone else! The baby will not be any less important than a planned baby! So why do people call babies mistakes?

New World Translation, 1 Cor 10:9
Neither let us put Jehovah to the test, as some of them put [him] to the test, only to perish by the serpents.


From 1 Cor 10:8-10, we see that the Apostle Paul was referring to the incident where the LORD (ie Jehovah) was wroth with His people who tempted Jehovah, who is revealed as Christ (1 Cor 10:9) and sent fiery serpents (Num 21:6-9). . .


KJV: 1Co 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.


q1) Why do Jehovah witnessess translated in 1 Cor 10:9, the Greek word Christos = Jehovah??

q2) Does this not confirm that the Lord Jesus Christ is Jehovah??

Tell me why or why not.

If there is no such thing as good nor evil, then what do you call the inventor of life. I ask can anyone exist without taking life.

I am not limiting this question to simply those mentioned in the Bible, or an expression in terms of any particular religion; think more broad-minded than that. Do you have any gifts of connecting to others in a manner which might be described as "spiritual"? Do you articulate better on the field of the heart versus the field of mind and word? Can you minister to others in ways that cannot be accurately expressed, yet are very real---a spiritual communication?

If you can relate to such things, how do you define them? Is it empathy? Is it being in accord with soul to such extent as to help lift another's burdens off of their shoulders? I definitely feel there are those who have an intrinsic presence, a capability that is ill-defined, yet palpable; they minister to spirit and soul, and without even seeming to try.

Can such empathic/spiritual ability be acquired, and how so? Do you feel conversant with your fellow man in matters of spirit, and is this ministering to the same?

Take life seriously, and stay in school not hoping to drop out and start selling drugs then get locked up and can't support lil shadiasha and lil' Quan because they are locked up and ruining life for the next generation. What if they read books and stopped trying to act like thugs. What if they realize that there is a way out of hardship other than crime. What if they learned to zip their pants up and stop having all of these babies will it help the black community as a whole?
Please tell me why most of the African Americans going to collage are Females?
If 1 in every 3 black males weren't in jail, on probation or paroll Would the public assistance rate go down or less need for welfare? Would there be a chance to have black men in their children's lives like they are supossed to be?

Think about it. Judas was an apostle. He ate with them, drank with them, traveled and slept next to them. He talked the talk and apparently walked the walk enough so that NONE of the other apostles suspected him. He was a false prophet, a wolf, a deceiver, and yet he tricked the greatest Christians on Earth.
(He did not, however, deceive Christ.)

Could you have spotted this wolf in lamb's clothing? What does this say about false Christians among us today?
