I keep seeing this sequence of numbers everywhere lately. On the clock, on license plates, ...everywhere. My friends are starting to think im doing it on purpose. Could it be a message from God, and what could it mean?

When I first heard about Islam, I tried very hard to become a Muslim, but it didn't work out for me. I felt very disappointed & sought out Catholicism. But, I always remained drawn to Islam. Christianity also left me feeling incomplete, I eventually found my path in what we know as "Paganism."
I celebrate God through good acts towards ALL His creatures. I light candles, meditate, pray, & give thanks for all His gifts. Everyday I discover something new & everyday my love & faith for God grows. I believe I worship the same God everyone else does, only in a different way.
Now, after that description, I wonder, how am I viewed by Muslims, Christians, Jews, etc.? I have many friends of different religions, & I love studying different beliefs, but none ever want to discuss the topic with me. I'm curious, do they see me as some satanic idolater?
I would love to know how other people view me & my lifestyle, knowledge is the only way to grow.
Thanks in advance & Peace Be With You.

Why is our culture a culture of death?

I understand the Fall of Man and the Curse, and how Adam and Eve brought sin into the world. But why didn't God stop them? Why didn't He stop Satan from rebeling to begin with? Why is choice necessary? Couldn't He just've made us all without the capacity for evil?

This is very hard for me to ask this. Ok Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins... why? Why would you have to kill yourself to pay for sins? So I'm saying that is their like some higher person that said "Hey if you want their sins to be forgiven (or whatever) I want Jesus to be killed!"
So God sacraficed his son... Why is the reason to do that!? Why would you need to kill someone, is he gaining power from doing that? Does it require alot of power to forgive sins? Gee Wiz! Whats the point in that! If you know what Im getting at. Think about it... You know what Im saying home-sicles. Or maybe I have this whole idea wrong. I admit I do not go to church or read the bible. But today I did because I was forced to. So ya thanks for reading and all that jazz.

When this man was holding me down and about to rape me he was rubbing my breasts as if they were fully developed. I was just beginning to go thru puberty and I was only partially showing any growth. After that I hated my breasts and had this fixation that I never wanted to grow up or develop more. It seemed like mature breasts meant you were rape material since he grabbed mine like i was fully developed.( The thought of growing up always sent me into depression.) I secretly felt that and then I went thru this deeply promiscuous time. What the h*** is that all about ? Also, today my regular Dr told me she wants me to see a female psych Dr. for a " pre-emptive PTSD " counsultation. I told her a tiny bit of my feelings and she was alarmed. I told her I didnt think anyone could talk me out of this hole...Should I go and talk or go and just get meds ? Plz pray for me in this decision.

With all the Biblical references to God's different body parts, and the fact that He made us to look like Him (Genesis 1:26) how can there be any other conclusion?

I hope nobody tries to say something stupid like God was not smart enough to talk to us plainly and had to use metaphors.

I sketched Jesus with Mary when I was half asleep. I have no faith in any prevailing religion.Only one emotion was working with me and that was of Mother Mary. I had gone to sleep while meditating on the pain and suffering of Mary and shedding tears of love for Her .Suddenly I got up in the middle of night and sketched and wrote.
in the morning when I woke up i could not believe what that I could sketchthe faces and bodies and write what I wrote.I am no painter or a writer.I am nothing in fact.
I not only believe but am sure that Jesus and Mary definitely looked that way.If any one is serious It can be seen and examined.I love the motherhood of this planet earth and believe that SHE KNOWS EVERY one and can reveal every thing . I have a love-bond with HER. mraju69@yahoo.com

Why would God not allow Adam or Eve to have fruit from the tree of knowledge?

The tragic case of two college girls who looked like twins. They were involved in a crash and one was killed. Mistakes at the scene meant that the girl who died was thought to be the survivor and vice versa. The family who thought their daughter survived spent 5 weeks at her hospital bedside praying for her recovery from serious injuries and a coma. The parents of the "dead" girl were grief stricken and buried who they thought was their daughter.

As it turned out, the identities were mixed up. The parents of the "dead" girl discovered 5 weeks later that their daughter was alive. The parents who had prayed all that time discovered they had been praying for someone else's child - their own daughter was dead.

It was a horrible case. My question is this. Both families were deepely religious, originally claiming the work of god in both cases. The "surviving" daughter was claimed to be spared by god.

So, was god just playing a sick joke? Is this an example of prayer working?

If so, how did you feel about it? And how did it make you feel while reading it (if at all)?
