Society & Culture - 30 December 2007

I know this sounds alittle crass, but I get tired of homeless people snubbing my generosity. I live in Chicago, and the homeless constantly hit me up for change, but I dont feel comfortble doing that, because you dont know what they might be spending the money on. I usually give snickers bars or sometimes food from my grocery bag or fast food bag if I have extra. Several homeless people have gotten angry with me for not giving them cash in lieu of candy bars or some other foodstuff. What should I do?

Of the Apocrypha?

Before you say Martin Luther is right, remember that ALL scripture is under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, if the Bible is taken literally.

BTW, I am a Christian, I'm just willing to admit the Bible is not inerrant.

For example, suppose someone demonstrates that it is possible for a large canyon to form over just a few thousand years. Is it fair to then say that all canyons on Earth were formed in such a way?

Why or why not?

Eat the heck out of some chocolate?
It can't be a caffeine thing if you can eat chocolate right? Also what about HOT chocolate? Are hot drinks allowed. I am confused.

A man from the future travels back in time, uses his advanced technology to convince everyone he is god, starts his own religion, and then goes back to the future to laugh his as s off at anyone who still worships him. Yep, I dreamt that last night, and also Jesus is a space alien! LOL What do you think?

Was Jonah literally in the belly of a whale?
Did God part the Reed Sea? (its actually reed sea, don't worry about that in this question).
Was Adam the first man?
Did King David reign as king in Israel for about 40 years?
Was Jesus born in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago?

Such particular questions are not as important in this general question, but what is the degree of accuracy of the Bible?

There are some verses in the Bible that if true, then the whole Bible must be true.

And if so, what do you think? I think it's a form molestation in a sense of the word. Molestation, in that, these children are as young as five, and six year old, on up, and they are in effect being brainwashed, This documentary shows these children, arms outstretched in praise, complete with flowing tears of devotion. Some of the children are quoted with statements such as " We are god's army !!" .." Man's law will not prevail, it's God's word that counts "...these are children!!! Children that,..that are in effect being turned into robots, and history has proven that when one mixes children, and the church, time, after time, sexuall exploition soon follows. It would'nt seem like such a big deal, but this was a colliseum sized building filled to the max. Why can't the church let children, be children? What came to mind for me in watching it, was the Hilter youth, the same concept here, start while they are young, and impressionable!! I think it's a form of mental child molestation!!

I'm trying to raise money for a mission trip that I am going on in July.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any websites where I could post information about my website and have people donate to it?

I'm doing the trip with Athletes in Action (a group under Campus Crusade for Christ). We are going to Israel to share the gospel and build bridges over there through the sport of basketball.

If you need any information or have any, please let me know! Thank you!

When my son was three years old he had to accompany me to a woman's missionary union council meeting, and in the middle of it he mooned the council. (I was the executive director.) What's your story?
