And pray

The church by my house has this saying on it,

"It's hard to stumble when you are already on your knees,"

Am I the only one who catches the sexual connotation in this?

Asalamualaikum,
I know that in Islam we don't believe in superstitions but there is something that I am unsure of. Some people say that when the palm of your right hand feels itchy it means there is money coming your way. I don't know if this is true or not but when it happens to me, money does come my way. One example, only yesterday my right hand was feeling itchy and today I received a cheque in the mail!
So my question is....is there any truth in this or is it just another superstition??
And please note: IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

That is, they rather put their trust in a human rather than God?

I got this from reading Samuel.

Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to
leave because I'd go berserk?? Well...
You left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see
I've gone completely out of my mind.. And..
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the funny farm. Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be
happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!!!

You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said
that loosing you would make me flip my lid.. RIGHT???
I know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed you laughed and
laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad... And..

Do you know we have all sinned against God? (Romans 3:23)
If you do not care about this, and think it does not apply to you, did you also know we will all stand before Him on judgment and He will judge us according to HIS standards? See Revelation 20.
So according to HIS standards we have ALL sinned- and we must all be forgiven in order to be set free, and given eternal life with Him.
The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) this means hell- as the Bible says- the second death is the lake of fire where those who are not secure in Christ Jesus will go for eternity.
I do not want this to happen to anyone! That is why I am asking you- do you know what sin is? The seriousness of sin? Do you know how you can be set free? Through Jesus Christ! He died and rose again, so when you confess your sins and repent of them- believe He is Lord, you are forgiven, saved. Sealed with the Holy Spirit, who will teach you all truth, and grant you new desires in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 1)

I read this over the weekend…

According to the Oxford University sociologist Diego Gambetta, editor of Making Sense of Suicide Missions, a comprehensive history of this troubling yet topical phenomenon, while suicide missions are not always religiously motivated, when religion is involved, it is always Muslim. Why is this? Why is Islam the only religion that motivates its followers to commit suicide missions?

What distinguishes Islam from other major religions is that it tolerates polygyny. By allowing some men to monopolize all women and altogether excluding many men from reproductive opportunities, polygyny creates shortages of available women. If 50 percent of men have two wives each, then the other 50 percent don't get any wives at all.

My friend and I were having a rather enlightening conversation where we spoke about the decline of faith and believers in society as time continues.

He told me that "back in Biblical times" they walked with angels, miracles were nearly everday occurances. Mankind had to have divine intervention in order to survive and what not. But nowadays, in today's society, we have everything. No one can ever truly fall as hard as they did back then. There is always SOMETHING.

So I feel that in a way science and industrialism has kindof replaced God. Not saying people worship machines (although some would argue they do) but more or less that machines have taken over God's role of providing for us.

As such, do you feel that as we move further and further into becoming entirely self-sufficiently, our faith, our belief in God will ultimately wane into non-existence?

Do you think that our faith and our need for God is what made God in the first place?

i finally told my parents that i was atheist. my mom is catholic, and my dad is christian. we don't go to church, but my mom is still very religious. she doesnt want to accept the fact that i'm atheist. usually when i do something, shell go around telling all her friends about it. but now that i tell her i'm atheist, she doesn't want anyone to know! my dad doesnt seem to make a big deal out of it. he thinks that i should have the right to believe in what i want to believe in, buy my mom's obviously anti that. how do i get her to become ok with me being atheist? or is that even possible? i also went school shopping with her, and i found a really cute pair of shoes with skulls on it, and she grabbed my arm and stormed out the store and said 'skulls represent the devil, i don't like them' and refuses to buy me anything with skulls. just because their skulls doesnt mean i'm trying to represent the devil!! i just think they looked cute! so how do i convince her that skulls/atheism is ok?

And your belief system teaches that he is a creation of God and not equal, What do you think Jesus response to your unbelief would be?

Can you even go there to answer this question?

A lot of non-believers tell us that our religion is weak and is just a bunch of fairytales. we have FAITH in God. they need PROOF just to believe in something. do you think they're the weak ones and not us if they need proof for everything?

I have been learning about a lot of esoteric knowledge, and I was really impressed with how the religion of Christianity connects with a lot of things.

So last year has been a very big year for me. I was an atheist, but now thanks to the internet and the abundant knowledge I am a Chrstian again.

Surfing the net I stumbled upon this site: http://home.netcom.com/~mokeeffe/Karma&Christ.htm

Now what it says is that if a child is abused by its parent we shouldn't feel sorry for that child. For, and I am quoting, "in a past incarnation they were very abusive, and if the abused child is beaten to death by his parent, it is certain that he himself (or herself) once beat a child to death."

I am NOT admitting to doing evil things. I am just questioning this kind of karma because it doesn't feel right. I thought we were supposed to treat evil with goodness? I want to think know what others think about this subject.

It seems as though everyone on Yahoo Answers (particularly those in the R&S section) goes into an uproar if anybody mentions their own personal views. Athiests hate Christians, Christians hate Athiests, and Jews and Muslims are constantly being beaten down by everyone.

I am an Athiest, but one of the most important things to me is religious tolerance. I realize that not everybody agrees with me, but I would never try to convert somebody out of their beliefs, or even argue with their beliefs. Quite frankly, the only thing that offends me more than others trying to impose their beliefs on me is when I see other Athiests trying to impose their beliefs on those who follow a religion. It defiles all that I have worked for to become a tolerant person while still being an Athiest.

My question twofold: Is there any way to promote religious tolerance? And is there any way to get people to answer legitimate questions objectively, instead of bringing their personal views into play?

Hurricane Dean has already caused deaths in the Carribean and is likely to cause more death and distruction in Mexico and Central America.

I realize that tangible aid is needed, but will those of ALL RELIGIONS represented here also join in prayer that God (or your Gods, for the Pagan community) shelter the people of the region?

I do not feel that ANY religious person should have any problem in cross-faith prayer for the protection of the innocents there....

Where did this come from? "Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up a stone, and you will find me there."

Here is the answer:
Gospel of Thomas
77 Jesus said, "I am the light that is over all things. I am all: from me all came forth, and to me all attained.
Split a piece of wood; I am there.
Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."

I knew I had seen it somewhere, but it took some time to find it.

Precious stones used to make the varying foundation? I can imagine that the throne room probably gives off alot of energy, causing a large differential in temperature, it might crack the foundation if not spaced out properly.

"Hamsa Soham-Soham Hamsaha" is a Vedha Vaakyam (Vaakyam=Aphorism) of Hindu Religion.It is included among the "Maha(very great) Vaakyams-because it talks about Brahmam (very Superoir nature of God).All aphorisms talking about Brahmam are called Maha Vaakyams.There are a number of Maha Vaakyams in Vedham. A seperate branch Intreperting the nature of Brahmam(564 aphorisms) and Gloss written by 3 genius Scholars and 11 learned scholars on the basis of Vedham is known as "Vedhaantha". One International Hindu organisation has trnslated in their booklet the Maha Vaakyam)--"Hamsa Soham--Soham Hamsaha"-as "Let us create such a world again".This is NOT correct.---(A)Ham=I (remain)--Saha=Brahmam--Saha =Brahmam --Aham=I (remain)--"Hamsa Soham--Soham Hamsaha" ---=I remain Brahmam and Brahmam remains as me--same meaning is conveyed in another Maha Vaakyam -"Aham Braahmaasmi"---

P.S.:-(mention of Saha second time is missing in the main Post)

Im finding that i am receiving too many violation emails from Yahoo. I have looked over all of my questions & answers to find the fault &, ive come to the realistic conclusion that i am receiving these notices due to the word ATHEIST, being used in my sentences. I dont think it is an offensive word? Do you?
