1. Choose a number between 1 and 10






2. Multiply that number by 9






3. Add the digits of the result together (i.e. 71 would be 7+1=8)







4. Take that result and subtract 5








5. Take that result and find the corresponding letter of the alphabet (i.e. 1=a, 2=b, etc.)









6. Think of a country that begins with that letter









7. Take that last letter of that country and think of an animal that begins with that letter.

covenant is with Isaac instead of Ishmael?

This is a serious question and hopefully I'll get answers on both sides.

Have a great day.

...man was immortal also. Is God is still around here somewhere? I say God died with Adam. Even Steven. I say that the following men were savage and cain murdered Abel which set mankind on a death course that will require a new god to reverse. That has not happened because we still die.
If you do not understand the question answer someones you do understand.

In a question about purgatory I read a catholic response that the rich man in Luke 16:22-31 was in purgatory and not Hell. My question is why do you think God would torment His children? Would you torment your children? These are Christians we are referring to here. People who have accepted Jesus as savior and God is basically torturing them? This makes no sense to me. We serve God and ask Him for bread and He gives us a stone? This makes absolutely no sense to me. Can someone please explain?

.. from different religions, gained just as much popularity? How come other people believe in other gods, just as much as you believe in yours?

If you were born in a different place of the world and would have been baptized under another religion, you'd have another belief too, and probably be just as convinced of it as you are now of christianity. Knowing this, you are stil convinced that your religion is the only true one?

I'm an atheist, but I'm wondering if those who believe in God think it is a sin to criticize anything God has ever done.

I don't think there is any question as to whether men wrote the bible or not, so even if it was under the influence of god couldn't they have gotten something wrong? Humans aren't perfect.

If you're a person who believes in God, whether of an organized religion or faith. Do you consider "Atheism" to be a threat?

Yes, there are MANY more anti-God books. MANY more out spoken Atheist. Hitches, Dawkins, Harris ect. Public schools have abolished God. Society as a whole does seem to becoming very secular. . . But I don't know if that means too much. We do live in a very consumer cultue. And I think Atheism is IN right now. Like Plastic, botox.

I know a lot of people are consider Atheism to be a threat these days, but I don't think its really all that big of a problem.

Because at the end of the day. . . WHO REALLY KNOWS ANYTHING?

The ROAMIN' Empire was quite clever.
I would even call them genuises.
Many of them used hidden messages.
Even this message might have a code.

The ROAMIN' empire had to encode messages.
Otherwise, its opponents would attack.

ROAMIN' peoples love codes.
One code they used was an acrostic.
Acrostics are a specific type of code.
Messages in acrostic form are read by reading the first letter of each line.


So who's in?

I am new to this "Answer Forum" and I have quite a few pagan and atheist friends in the "real" world, why do they have such a distaste for Christianity on this forum? There are so many religions in the world, what makes Christianity so offensive to them do you suspect?

Christian charity ............... BAD
Christian prayer ................ BAD
Love thy neighbor ...............BAD
The 10 Commandments ... BAD

I could list far more "BAD", but I just don't get what is so offensive.

I'm seeing a lot of "gangsta style" in Christianity promotional music and videos these days. Considering the gangsta lifestyle was based on drugs, cop killin,pimpin, bitches and hos, is this really a good idea? Take a look at the lyrics to this Christian rap song. WARNING - the words are explicit and not intended for children or the faint of heart.

I've been observing a conversation between Molly Mormon and Betsy Born-again... (yes, names have been changed to protect the idiot).

Betsy told Molly that she's not Christian, that she's going to hell because she hasn't accepted Jesus as her savior, and that she's going to question and basically attack Molly's belief.

Betsy has also claimed to know more about Molly's belief than Molly does.

In self defense, Molly has responded with something along the lines of, "Bring it on!"

Betsy then called Molly rude, and expressed the hope that no Mormons like Molly ever come to her door.
The thing is that I've come across the mindset Betsy displays quite often. She's not the first or only! I've heard many born-agains tell non-born agains that they (sorry, just about wrote probably the worst pun ever posted... ok, I'll write it anyway, cuz it's funny) don't have a chance in hell because they haven't accepted Jesus as their personal savior...

Luke 12:57 "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right? As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled to him on the way, or he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny."

Here's the parallel passage in Matt 5:25-26: "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny."

Jesus couldn't be teaching about hell, because you can "get out" after "you have paid the last penny."

In his memoirs of the Spanish Civil War, Arthur Koestler related an amazing story. He was taken prisoner by the facists and sentenced to death by firing squad. One night he was awakened in his cell and marched outside and lined up against the wall. The guards raised their rifles, and he heard a tremendous noise. He opened his eyes and looked around, and he was still in his cell. His bed had collapsed during the night, and his mind had invented the entire dream in the split second between the time he hit the floor and the time he opened his eyes.

Has anyone else had an experience like that?
