Society & Culture - 28 December 2007

If you use the define function on Google for the word "spirit," many of the definitions hint or explicitly revolve around the concept of the supernatural.

Spirit is in many ways different from spirituality; however, I'm not talking about the "we've got spirit yes we do we've got spirit how bout you" kind of spirit. It's more of the sense of an seemingly inexplicable inner working. That seems to be a supernatural form of some kind.

Am I making any sense here, kids?

Just thinking out loud . . .

I ask because other major religions and some Christian denominations disagree on this issue. Thank you in advance for your answers.

I am in my 60s now and really want to get my financial house in order. I'm not very wealthy but the total value of my entire estate is about $400,000 to $500,000.

I cannot stand my family. We don't get along very well at all. I do have a few friends.

I'm not sure who to give the inheritance to. Because I don't really like any of them!

Can I do this: Have my body cremated. Have the last will and testament given with my ashes present. Have the executor of my estate read the will which would require for anyone to get my estate, he would have to eat or drink all of my ashes right then on the spot within the next 20 minutes.

Can I do this? What are your thoughts?

I thought they said your body will be resurrected there, your sex will be there, and you'll still be all-man or all-woman. If there can't be any sexual love in Heaven, then why would the guy's balls be on his body, how come he won't be a eunich?


If you can't have sexual intercourse with a male or female you desire in Heaven, then you better get married and have sex how while you still can!!!!

I'm working on a study, in which I am evaluating what Jesus taught his disciples. Along the way, I see that there are promises included in many of his teachings.

I'm curious which promises give other Christians the encouragement they need to follow Christ.

Okay so it was xmas eve & I was out ot eat in a nice place & I heard an unusual version of "I'm getting nuttin for Christmas". It sounded like it was from the 40s or 50s. Basically it's a female artist singing about how she's not getting anythin for Christmas because she WASN'T bad...things like kissing or sequeezing. It was totally clean...sounded like an Ella Fitzgerald or Eartha Kitt, but I've searched & I don't think its either of them. Anyway it was a cute song...kinda like Santa Baby is a cute semi-sexy song. If you know I'd really appreciate it! Thanks

A wise psychiatrist once said, " a true insane person is one who isn't self-aware".

Logic is like clockwork. Going forward you'll never realize you're going in complete circles every second of the day.

Illogical are those who realize they're trapped forever in an endless cycle, then try to make time retrace its steps.

A true sane person is one who realizes life is a Coo-coo Clock.












~More importantly one that accepts you can never turn back time.

His epistles were written to the saints at the location he was writing to.

Does this mean that he was writing to those who were canonized after their death?

Or is the reference to those who were already in the church?

2Co 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:


Eph 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:


Col 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

What was the reason for becoming an atheist? For me it was the fact that no matter how hard I tried to be a believer, I always felt like I was lieing to myself. Thankfully I wasn't raised by parents that pounded faith into me. They left the choice up to me.

An old preacher was dying. He sent a message for his IRS agent and his Lawyer (both church members), to come to his home. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his bedroom. As they entered the room, the preacher held out his hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed. The preacher grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling. For a time, no one said anything. Both the IRS agent and Lawyer were touched and flattered that the old preacher would ask them to be with him during his final moment.

They were also puzzled because the preacher had never given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them.

Finally, the Lawyer asked, "Preacher, why did you ask the two of us to come?"

The old preacher mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I want to go, too.
