Dolly the sheep was a clone, so no sperm was introduced to the fetus.

Maybe Dolly is God?

Should we worship her?

How can I find benevolent people to donate money so I can stay at home and look after my baby? I don't want to go back to work. The thought of leaving my baby kills me. My husband doesn't earn enough to support us all.

... yet, we hear of stories where people have seen, heard, felt, smelled, or even tasted hell or heaven? Aren't the five senses exclusive to... the living? Don't those senses only work by the mind--a "human" organ?

Also, I saw a video of a guy who said he could see his friends in hell... still, I thought our human characteristics don't follow us to these places people call heaven and hell.

Could you explain this to me?

I was raised a Mormon, so I know the scriptures I was told from the King James Version of the Bible. I was also raised that we hate Satan and that he does not deserve our love. I went to another religion once. The Reverend preached that we all should hate Satan and never love him. I was confused with this thought after reading this scripture.
Matthew 5:43, 44
“You heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you"
I also went to a Parenting Class once and the instructor made this comment. “If your child done something wrong, Do you hate your child? The answer should be “NO!” You hate what the child done that was wrong but NEVER hate the child for doing it.
So with this thought in mind, Can’t we hate what Satan did and is doing but still love him? After all, He is our brother just like Christ is, isn’t he?

in hindu temples of south india it is the practice before offering prayers and dharshan, the poojari (one who performs pooja and archana) will ask for the godram of the devotee so that he conducts the archana or pooja to god. i understand that the concept of maintaining godhram is prevalent among only upper caste particularly with brahmins only. i also observed the rest of the community devotess tell "siva gothram" to do the pooja. i could infer the following from the above practice in temples:
1.one who does not have or does not know the godhram is nowhere before god?
2.to my understanding godhram represents one's sect or subsect to the community to which he/she belongs and it represents the name of male forefather of rishi's name (i am not very sure).
3.if godhram represents caste or sub caste does it not shamful for anybody who does not know one's godhram.
4.what sanctity is attached to this practice.
5.if i dont have the gothram, am i an outcaste or a chandalan before god.

I posted a satirical question a few minutes ago asking how I can be more biblically feminine and one of the answerers told me to read Provers 31. To be honest, I never read it before till now and I was amazed at the beauty and wisdom beneath those words.

I just can't help but see the irony. My wickedness was answered with wisdom which left me in awe.

(No, I still don't believe in God or the Bible, but I've learned something new about myself)

Has anything similiar ever happened to you?

Think of this.... All the water that is on the earth is all the water that ever was or ever will be.
that is unless some is introduced by some alien entity.

Same with matter.

So when we are conceived and the sperm enters the egg and the egg divides we become a complex cellular organism.
From the conception stage to birth is a giant accumulation of mass and matter.


Is it matter that has always been here or is it new?

... then why are there people who say they have been to hell and came back?

There are even little Christian documentaries about this that people send me all the time when I ask if hell is real. The people in those videos say they've been to hell, came back, and they converted to Jesus. Could you explain this to me? If you can, how is that fair for other people who haven't come back but went to this so-called hell?

How long should a Neophyte wait before Dedicating/Self-Initiatiating himself to the Wiccan path
(-I don't like using the term self-initiation for obvious reasons-)

I have been studying Wicca and Witchcraft, along with other religions, for the better part of four years.
I personally still don't feel quite ready right now for dedication, but, i still would like to hear your opinions on what you feel an appropriate length of time would be before dedicating onself to a religion, or, rather, to Wicca.

Blessed Be!

Somewhere in the bible there is a scripture I cannot find but heard many many times.

I would like to know where it is and what the scripture says please.

It is from the Sermon on the Mount. It is something like this.

You heard it said to love your friends and hate your enimies, I say unto you, Love everyone.

That is the best I can think of.

Thank you for your help in advance.

I'm told Jesus saves all who believe in Him and accept Him as saviour.

Some people will accept Jesus now but most won't. God, therefore, knows the majority of His children will abandon Him during this lifetime. Then judgement day comes and many people will suddenly believe in Jesus. After judgement, everyone will accept Jesus in the afterlife, especially if they're in a lake of fire knowing why they're there. By this time everyone will bow down towards Jesus.

So then, who ever said Jesus' salvation suddenly ends on Judgement day? All I know is if you accept Jesus you will be saved, and in the afterlife people will have to accept Jesus especially if they're in pain. Even if the lake of fire is eternal/a long time, it doesn't mean anybody's going to STAY in it. If they're saved, they'll be let out.

Do you agree/disagree? References appreciated.

15:32 When the Israelites were 41 in the wilderness they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day. 42 15:33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to the whole community. 15:34 They put him in custody, because there was no clear instruction about what should be done to him. 15:35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; the whole community must stone 43 him with stones outside the camp.” 15:36 So the whole community took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, 44 just as the Lord commanded Moses.
