These people think they own the world, they live on edge very much so, you'd think they're all crystal meth addicts, they don't care about you or often it seems themselves, they're only after money and trying to con you out of it, they're liars, fornicators (lol), I'm laughing because I'm about to describe everything the bible says is bad but I won't do it. Even if you don't believe in God, you have to admit that people from these areas, major cities, something's wrong with them. I personally don't think their behavior can be passed off as normal.

I live out in the country and when i come out to the cities I think wow, these people LIVE and THRIVE on fast forward, and could care less about the next guy.

People who live there get off on that energy, but in all reality its a purerly superficial, fake and godless energy that only serves the ego. It's an illusion.

That said, are those people really as screwed up as they appear to me, or is that just the way of life there?

If so you never read the Book of Job. Everything that GOD said was symbolic or metaphoric. An obvious display of literary artistics and lack of knowledge about science and the Universe...

Or, of course, mabye you are right. Mabye the wind really does come from a barn in the sky.

I am an author, and I need the phonetic Arabic translations for the following words for a book I'm writing.

liaison

spirit

I really appreciate any help anyone can give me; I've been searching translators online, but I can only find the Arabic script, which I can't read.
Thanks again!

I left cookies and milk out for Santa, but it appears he was a no show. Does this mean he is not real? Or does it mean I have been bad?

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written: "'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'" Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him."
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him."
So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son."
When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: "A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more."
After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child's life are dead."
So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene."

Of course this is assuming it happens in our lifetimes.

Do you believe the following verses give an indication of the religion and the armies we will be facing.

Revelation 18:7-8

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her....

18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

Jesus Christ those 2 words gets stuck in my throat it makes me feel physically ill to say them. As a child I often heard Jesus Christ said in anger or in exclamation or as a lament when things were going bad. I never heard any sort of nice thing about this fictional person so I have an immediate sick physical reaction. Also the self righteousness, hypocrisy and pompousness, and even greed ( catholic church) of those who "believe" he is a deity, (although i think the catholic church's priests and definitely cardinals and popes stuff think they are princes and royalty which is a hoot) are totally against everything that he was supposed to have been about, would jesus christ want the pope to be buried in gold or the priests to wear5 all that adornment or would he rather have given all to say..the Katrina victims for relief from their disaster?does anyone else ever feel sick hearing that name?

Everyone has a tradition, whether its getting your tree on Christmas Eve and decorating it or opening one gift on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas day. What do you look forward to, when did you start this tradition and why?

YES..... IF... Jesus Was NOT Born on Christmas.... [Yes.... it is Only the DAY... WE Choose to Celebrate His Birthday]

WHY THEN..... DO YOU CELEBRATE .... HIS BIRTHDAY ? ? ?

IS IT FOR.... The.... KUDOS.... and... The GIFTS.... OR.... is it Really TO WORSHIP... HIM ? ? ?

(Isaiah 9:6) For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be on His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Thanks for YOUR Answers.....! Roger R.
