...but I don't know the answer to it. Just something I was curious about.

Is there any proper noun (name of a person or people or place) in the Bible that begins with the letter W?

Everytime I hear it in so many ways, it use to hurt my inner soul, I try to let it go through my ears cause it's said so much by everyone.
If it hurts me in that way, just think how much it hurts our Lord when you put his name in vain, especially when his feelings are more sensitive and massive than ours.
God's compassion is greater, his hurts are greater too.

What is your feelings on this, does that hurt you when you hear our Lords name in vain?

Why did he beg God to save him from this fate?

Mar 14:35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

Mar 14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things [are] possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

---------------------------

Or may be he knew that "Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree"

Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:

------------------------------------

But what happned actually?
Did God save him or left him to be crusified?

I'm wondering why athiests are atheists. If you wouldn't mind I'd just like to know why you chose the path you are on. What religion, (if any) were you prior to choosing atheism and what made you leave it? Finally, Would anything convince you to believe in a religion? Thank you for taking the time to answer I really appreciate your time. God bless and have a good day.

I've never seen her ridicule anyone, her questions are usually thought-provoking, and she just plain has class. Heck, she doesn't even pick on my inane (and only meant for laughter) questions.

I am a Christian, I don't try to hide it.
My co-worker is wiccan, and she does not try to hide it either.

Yet today she asked me why people did not live in communities based on their religious faiths... i.e. the Christians with Christians, the Bhuddists with Bhuddists, Wiccans with Wiccans... etc?

I stopped celebrating Christmas the traditional way about 5 years ago because I realized that alot of it had nothing to do with Jesus. I stopped buying Christmas trees and decorating them because I feel that it was like worshipping the tree. I also stopped giving and recieving presents. The whole thing just seemed wrong to me. Now I just have a special prayer before dinner thanking God for Jesus.

This is an inter denominational event. All Christians are asked to fast one meal a day during the next 30 days and spend time in intercessory prayer for the Church, its leaders, unsaved friends and loved ones, the countries in which we live, and healing.

I believe that life has no purpose. As a result of natural selection, we only pursue whatever releases endorphins in our body. We are servants to our own wants and needs. Even when we are serving others, we are only serving our own sympathy. Life is a vice. Religion, art, education, politics, sex, drugs...everything we create is just masturbation of the mind and body. These things do not elevate man above animals...man only has bigger, more complex levels of satisfaction and serotonin levels. All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie.

Perhaps a "Christian or Muslim" commercial? What if every time you drove down the road, opened a magazine or turned on almost any channel on your tv you were "hit with" a faith based add? Would this offend you?

All my British friends eat bacon pieces and I'm not allowed! It's not fair. Islam doesn't let me do anything! It almost makes me want to riot, protest about anything at all and blow the UK to bits.

I got told in my Mosque I will go to heaven and get 40 virgins to have sex with if I blow myself up is that true?

I would have converted to Christianity but I love in Afghanistan and I understand I will get my head chopped off if I do so, so I'm only a Muslim because I've been forced.

Suicide bombers are so common in Islam. Supposably the Koran teaches that suicide is wrong, so how do they think they go straight to heaven for blowing up innocent people in the name of Allah?

There were at least 30 more victims of suicide bombings and sectarian attacks in Iraq Saturday.

I just posed a question asking if anyone knew a person who possessed uncommon valor. Please look at the answer Doug Doug gave.

>>>>>No one personally that I can think of, but I just read about that Amish girl who asked to be shot first.<<<<<

I find it astonishing that such a young child could possess such courage. We could all learn much from her. So my question is....

If that had been you in a similar situation, could you have shown the courage this little girl had?? In what circumstance would you be able to willingly lay down your life??

Understand that this question is hypothetical.

A teenage girl about 17 had gone to visit

some friends one

evening

and time passed quickly as each shared

their

various experiences of the past year.



She ended up staying longer than

planned,

and

had to walk home alone. She wasn't

afraid

because it was a small town and she lived

only

a

few blocks away.



As she walked along under the tall elm

trees,

Diane asked God to keep her safe from

harm

and

danger.



When she reached the alley, which was a

short

cut to her house, she decided to take it.



However, halfway down the alley she

noticed

a

man standing at the end as though he

were

waiting

for her.



She became uneasy and began to pray,

asking

for

God's protection.



Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness

and

security wrapped round her, she felt as

though

someone was walking with her.



When she reached the end of the alley,

she

walked right past the man and arrived

home

safely.



The following day, she read in the

newspaper

that

a young girl had been raped in the same

alley

just

twenty minutes after she had been there.



Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and

the

fact

that it could have been her, she began to

weep.



Thanking the Lord for her safety and to

help

this

young woman, she decided to go to the

police

station.



She felt she could recognize the man, so

she

told

them her story.



The police asked her if she would be

willing to

look

at a lineup to see if she could identify

him.



She agreed and immediately pointed out

the

man

she had seen in the alley the night

before.



When the man was told he had been

identified,

he

immediately broke down and confessed.



The officer thanked Diane for her bravery

and

asked if there was anything they could do

for

her.



She asked if they would ask the man one

question.



Diane was curious as to why he had not

attacked

her.



When the policeman asked him, he

answered, "Because she wasn't alone.

She

had

two tall men walking on either side of

her."



Amazingly, whether you believe or not,

you're never alone. Did you know that 98% of teenagers

will not stand up for God?



Repost this as Love vs. Sex if you truly

believe in God..





PS: God is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what.....and if u stand up 4 him u would repost this
