John 7:17
If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.

John 14

21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."

22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"

23Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

even though alot of american teenagers admit to having sex at the age of 12/13/14 (some becoming pregnant and having abortions) which is much worse compared to those ages when early marriage/pregnancy was the norm.

My psychics (three of them) led me to believe that he would be the one. One of my psychic's told me that he would choose me over the "flashy blonde" one. I just met the "flashy blonde" one. She's half his age, I'm just a year younger than him (mid life crisis anyone). She's very pretty and actually even I like her (it's so hard to not like someone when you really want to hate them but you can't because they're so nice to you), and I'm not really that hot - no worries - not a self esteem thing - she's pretty, I'm not, simple as that. I'm not butt ugly, but I'm nothing much compared to her. Sure, maybe I'm the type that could grow on you visually, I care alot, I'm loving and warm and sensitive to other's feelings. I could be, and darn it, I am there as the one he come's to when he really needs to talk. Are three out of three psychics wrong or should I just wait it out and see what happens?

The boy scouts openly prohibits homosexuals and atheists from joining their organization, which would normally be fine with me (any private club should be allowed to let in whoever they want as members) except that the boy scouts are government funded which goes against the first amendment of the constitution. Also no government organization should be denying any citizen (emphasis on CITIZEN) membership at all. Do you disagree? It seems to me that Christians only like the first amendment when it’s convenient for them. Am I wrong? I’d like to be wrong about the last one, but I don’t think I am.

These might help you out if you want to research:

Background for the Question: We are discussing this question in my sociology of religion class, as we are trying to pinpoint what female icon Jesus would feel most worthy of. Please give your answer and explain why.

Explanation of the Question: If God ordained sex as something that is good, and Jesus was the son of God who was obedient to his Father it is reasonable to conclude that Jesus would have had sex during his time on earth. The question here is asking who would Jesus procreate with and why.

Examples: Mother Teresa, Brittany Spears, Ann Coulter, Stacy Keibler, Hillary Clinton, etc.
