Referring to Mary, the mother of Jesus.

We all know that back in the day stoning was the punishment for an umarried woman who was found to be "with child."

Why was Mary spared?

"Should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me! "But you ask, 'What do you mean? When did we ever cheat you?' "You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me. You are under a curse, for your whole nation has been cheating me. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the LORD Almighty, "I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Let me prove it to you! Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease. Your grapes will not shrivel before they are ripe," says the LORD Almighty. (Malachi 3:8-11 NLT)

and it would be pretty inaccurate to say that religous people are the only violent ones while reflecting on 9/11, problems in UK, Turkey and Greece, Conflicts in Africa (not gonna list all the places where people are messin each other up over religion...but anyways)...Atheist dictators like Stalin have done their fair share in violence too. But the problem is that the Atheist who are killing are not killing in the name of Atheism, they are killing independent of any religion, while the religous seem to be doing some of this balognie in the name of god or gods. It is what is influencing them to kill. Stalin was influenced to kill by a need to win the war and mantain public order. So do you think it would be inaccurate to say the world would be a better place without some of these religions, or would being free of thinking sky daddy would spank you for getting out of line cause the more ignorant, less moral people to be more violent?

I recieved an email and I don't know if it is real or not. I am trying to find out. I live in America. Anyways, I am supposed to contact a lawyer in England. His company is Lead Way + Associate....His name is Barrister John Montgomery....and the phone numbers are +447017022498 and +447701025593. Could someone get a phone book and look to see if they indeed do exist? And could I get a telephone number for the police there? I thought maybe I could call them and ask them if no one knows. My next step is to figure out how to even make that call. I have never made a call country to country. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

At what age do people have to start praying? What about Pregnant women and the sick and old. Do they have to get down on the floor like that? It must be hard for them, because even though it is a great hardship and they would be in great pain they probably feel guilt if they don't. Are they ever allows to not pray like this, or must they find a way no matter what?

Through out history no one has been able to stop the spreading of HIS word. All attempts have failed to put out the LIGHT

How close are the story lines of each book? I know they have the same basic people, Noah, Abraham, Jesus. I dont mean story line to be rude, I just cant think of a better word. At what point do the two become different?

SHOULD I HIDE WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN? I'm confused on this subject. This scares me that you can be soooooooooo horrible and still go to heaven if you "find" God. I would think he would be burning in hell regardless, I would hate to see him there.

Issiah 53:10
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand


53:10 "He shall see his seed." The Hebrew word for "seed", used in this verse, always refers to physical descendants in Scriptures e.g., Gen. 12:7; Gen. 15:13; Gen. 46:6; Ex. 28:43. A different word, generally translated as "sons", is used to refer to spiritual descendants (see Deut. 14:1, e.g.).

so how could this verse be talking about Jesus?
