I remember these -If you tell what you had just dreamt, before you ate breakfast it would come true( uusally that applied to nightmares) and don't tell a wish you make with your birthday candles or it won't come true.

We have bought 6 items, nothing too expensive but, because the account is in my name everything arrives addressed to me! My Partner gives me the money to pay for his purchases but because every parcel is plain wrapped and ALL addressed to me, we haven't got a clue what is in each one.
We have not opened any parcels yet so that we can wrap them up for each other because, we don't know what's in them!
We have decided to wrap them all, put them under the tree and hope for the best on Christmas Day.
If I get a set of spanners and he gets a Rampant Rabbit! So Beit!

Honestly, some of the most horrible people I know repent to Jesus and are supposed to be forgiving. The believe he is real and ask for forgiveness to be saved from Hell, etc.

Don't you see a flaw here. People who are horrible, corrupt, gain wealth off of the less fortunate. These people will be supposedly saved from eternity from Hell simply because they believe.

According to the multitude they will be saved regardless if they are rotten people. How can this be?

My Father in law, a prime example. He molested his daughters sold false silver mines to people, killed innocents, took advantage of people whenever he could. He left my wife and his family to survive on their own. Gambled away their house. Towards the tail end of his live he asks for forgiveness from Jesus and he goes to heaven. Don't you see the flaw in this?

Myself, not perfect but not intentionally hurting people. Not trying to harm anything will go to hell for eternity because I can not make that connectio

If you don't believe in it, why celebrate it? My former foster mom supposedly doesn't believe in Christmas, & she gives gifts, has family gatherings, & enjoys dinner. I'm 24 now, but I remember when I was 16, I just got new braces on my teeth, & the orthodontic assistant put Christmas colored bands on the braces without allowing me to choose what colors. My former foster mom went off on me & said I made a fool out of her & embarrassed her because of my "red & green braces". Another time, I was like 8, & I asked a lady @ bible class what she got for Christmas, & the foster mom pulled & dragged me by the ear from the bathroom, all the way to our seat in class.

I was never told until I was 16 that we don't celebrate Christmas because of our non-denominational beliefs. I always thought we did, since we had family gatherings, dinners, & gifts.

Christmas is Jesus's Birthday. That is the whole meaning of Christmas. But when Jesus was alive on Earth, say from year 01 to 33, did they (Mary, Joseph...) celebrate His birthday, or as we call it today, Christmas ? Happy Xmass to you all.

I would like to learn French. I have already started. I have been learning it for 18 months. The problem is that there are no French courses in my town (people are not interested). Private lessons are very expensive. So I would like to study but do not have a place where to study. I feel I am losing my knowledge. I haven´t been to any French courses for 11 months. Please any advice how to improve my French without courses? Thanks!

Did it start on such a large scale with Jews/Christians, or was it present before?

If I was in any muslim/jewish country, I would celebrate their religious holidays (apart from fasting, but I would do the big meal/party at the end)
I've done thanksgiving, diwali and dasara, hogmonay, st.patricks and even burn's night.
not having a tree/turkey/presents is like cutting your nose off to spite your face.
why dont they join in? its the national tradition. It comes across as rude.

what about the people who got affected of the consequences of sins committed? like for example, the "repentant" spread lies and made up stories about another person that ruined that person's reputation, would God overlook that consequence in favor of that "sinner" who damaged that person's name?

how does God serve Justice to ALL people equally, regardless of their beliefs?
