Or when you say 'God bless you' to someone, what really happens?

Someone I work with told me about the number 815. Her birthday is august 15 (8/15) and for quite some time now, the numbers 8-15 have been very prominent to her. for example; every time she looks at the clock for no reason it's 8:15. She also have stayed in hotel room number 815. just random things....

Can anybody explain this so I can forward the information to her? I'm guessing it's something spiritual that's why I've listed it in the spiritual category.

On June 8th I finally was able to completely sever an incredibly unhealthy relationship with someone who used her status and power in the media to make my life a living hell. She was verbally abusive, as well as physically and then some and when I tried to leave, she would tell her friends these horrendous terrible lies about me. They of course, not knowing me from Adams corn hole, believed her. So I figured that by staying, the friends that did come around would see how she treated me and see who I REALLY was and the liar SHE REALLY IS, but she always put on her media face and pretended to care. Well, I finally cut ALL ties despite her constant attempts to attack me via mutual friends ect. But NOW, she is finding other means of hurting me and because I am a Christian and she claims to be, scripture says there should be no legal issues between us. I continue to forgive her but this is bringing me down and aside from prayer don't know what to do. Any suggestions? jmoon55784@iwon.com

If God asked you today:
Do you want to join me NOW and experience love?
or continue your life and see what may become of it?
What would you choose...

For example I am Catholic and we do read Bibles, pray to God and through Jesus, and we do not worship saints we honor them and consider them friends who pray for us. Your words you wish to share.....

All Religions march towards a common unity of people for their well-being on this earth. Ironically, all that is established in the name of good or God tends to segregate rather than integrate people, defeating the very purpose for which they have been set up. The responsibilitty and accountability therefore fall squarely on all people. When will the people end the cold wars for God's sake? There is far more disunity than unity which is unable to resolve the former. It is high time people went beyond the languages.

OK, hypothetically speaking. you stumble across a piece of evidence that is beyond any degree of bias or contention, 100% valid and beyond the shadow of any doubt.

This piece of evidence shows that one religion is correct, or perhaps that all religions have got it wrong so far, or perhaps (and I know this isnt realisitic) that there is no God and religion is pointless. Now, by definition this then shows that a LOT of people in the world have been getting it wrong. It means thousands of years of culture, of human development and the rest of it are based on nothing. It also takes away 'faith' as this conclusive bit of evidence no longer leaves any shadow of a doubt.

Now, my question to you is - at what price the truth? With factors like civil unrest, disbelief, the inevitable loss of faith as for once there is certainty, the 'ending' of 'incorrect' religions and many other implications it is plainly not a decision to be taken lightly.

But would you do it? Would you share it?

Why were so many books removed from the Bible when it was being compiled in 325? Doesn't it make you wonder how much of the truth was subtracted? I'm curious to know what those other books said. Are they still around?

i choose to be a "spiritualist" i like that name for it, becausse i was raised a christian but it doesnt feel like the right religion and i have a long line of wiccan ancesters, could this be why i was drawn to wicca in the first place, when i choose to call myself a wiccan it feels wrong like i'm disgracing my family and my God, and when i call myself a christian i feel like i'm hurting myself and disgracing my wiccan ancesters, so i call myself a spiritual, i dont have to preform any spells that go against my christian beliefs and i dont have to be christian (they would want me to try and convert ppl to their beliefs i hate that when it was done to me i wanted to start punching ppl so i wont do it to anyone) can i do this or is it impossible i know that on the christian side they say "anything is possible with God" what about on the wiccan side can you give me some positive reinforcement or am i alone on this

How can the Bible be the Word of God when it's been changed and translated so many times. The bible wasn't even written during the life of Jesus, so how can you even believe its accurate?

I want factual and experience only, please. Not "I heard" or "I suppose" or "I think" or stuff like that.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

i dunno why but ppl seem to think that muslims women are being mistreated. they are not allowed to do this and that. as a muslim woman i feel very free to do wat ever i like. i cover my hair bacause i want to. if i dun want to then i ll not do it and no man can beat me for that. of course once i get married i hav to consult the issue w my husband 1st.

im studying engineering in the international islamic uni, i go to workshop and fix things, i play futsal every weekend, i watch movies whenever i want to, i can debate any issues with the guys, i can go to the cafe and start debating about the issue of environment, socials, politics etc and no one can ask me to stop. i am treated equally, juz like other men women in this world.

instead i feel the non muslims are treating us with bias. they dun let women wearing head cover go to their schools, work in their offices etc.

why? why do ppl look at us with pity? we are not stupid, we are capable of doing everything that we want.

1. You cause unrest and violence in the world by willing to die for your beliefs.
2.You have a closed mind and do not appreciate ideas.
3.You fight for trying to convince as many people to think like you as possible.
4.You are coward for being so easily reached by 'fear' tactics...something that religion always uses.
5.You spread your disease to your children...people who have not yet developed independent thought and rational thinking.
6.You ignore the most obvious things and can't think 3 dimensionally.
7.You TRULY believe what you preach.
8.You don't ever have private mental sessions where you thoroughly examine your beliefs in a way not tainted by others.

Is this you?
