    Don't do what you hate

    What is all this? I thought the entire bible was supposed to be "the word of god"? Well you know... its all supposed to be there. Otherwise why is it called "the holy bible" and not "A collection of good reads for christians".

    Don't do what you hate

    Well I hate working for someone else. I want to work for myself. Is he saying that I shouldn't do it, because I hate it? That I should really be self employed which I don't hate?

    Don't do what you hate

    Jesus said "Don't lie, and don't do what you hate." What is the exact meaning of this? I'm not talking about the "don't lie" part. I'm talking about the "don't do what you hate" part. What does that mean?

    It has not gone well

    Well there is something of a difference between going to church every sunday, and asking for help on an online forum. I just have no interest in church. I don't think I can really come up with any other reason than that. I'm really not into singing, or listening to a preacher who (it would seem)...

    It has not gone well

    Well to be clear, a salesman isn't really an accurate description. It would be more like 'small business owner'. Sure I would sell cars, but that isn't really the focus for me. I actually find the business very agreeable, and I've sold many cars already. Its so easy compared to my roofing days...

    It has not gone well

    Oddly enough, I just wanted the degree as a life accomplishment, and a point of pride. Not to mention that I would be a huge help in my life, given the things I like to do. Building things, and doing all my own wiring. I know its a bit weird to get a degree in something and not ever really work...

    It has not gone well

    Its hard for me to post this thread, as foolish pride often prevents me from seeking help. But as for the main point of this thread, I think the title about sums it up. 34, male. I do not feel like it has gone well. Not well at all. And its really all starting to add up and bring me down much...

    Do you feel old?

    Do you feel old? I don't mean physically. I'm 32, and there are times when I feel like I've lived much longer than that. There are times when I feel like I've already lived 100 years, at least. Is it possible that this could be from my soul/spirit, maybe having lived lifetimes before this one...

    Social justice??!

    I just look at it realistically. There will be no social justice, until judgement day. Then justice will be served. Lets just be realistic here. You all know that in this world, most of the time crimes against humanity, or otherwise large groups of people, go unpunished forever. So that's just...

    Do you begin to love people more?

    I'm still somewhat new to this whole thing. But I've noticed that I have changed, and continue to change. Do you find that you love people more? Especially people you know? Or is this just the normal part of living longer? I never used to really care if I saw certain people. For years it was...

    Are men and women the same?

    Well I hadn't heard of that. Sounds like the extreme case. My grandfather, my father inlaw, and my uncle all just passed their stones with the help of drugs prescribed by their doctors. Don't know about my uncle but I know my father inlaw and my grandfather never had to go in for the tube...

    Starting new job, not sure if its really a good idea

    Well they do think its fun and they do think its ok. Its just that I don't. Necessarily. A lot of the stuff they do is fun. Snowboarding and skydiving and stuff like that. I'm not sure what it is you do, but there have been some implications in your posts that I've already highlighted. I'm...

    Are men and women the same?

    Oh there is no label. Women ARE cursed. As are men. They're just different curses. I have noticed every curse come to complete fruition in every man and woman I've ever known. The hearts of men and women are generally quite different, as I'm sure you've noticed. I'm not trying to be some kind of...

    Starting new job, not sure if its really a good idea

    I do consider it a problem. And yes, they will and do try to pull me into their lifestyle. As I try to pull them into mine. They do it because it makes them feel better about their poor choices, and I do it out of a sense of morality. It seems to me Parad that you are trying to justify your...

    Are men and women the same?

    Don't you people read the bible? Men and women aren't equal because the women have had a curse put on them by God. If you read Genesis, there are several things clearly outlined that women will suffer forever, that men simply will not. Not that man wasn't cursed as well, just with mortality and...
