^_^That's my song! I sing it all the time in Church. Most definitely and this part of the reason I left a gospel band I was in to sing pop. It can be way to restrictive and not being able to fully express myself would defeat the purpose of singing. There's very little freedom in it. As long...

Very interesting. Reminds me of the scandals within the Catholic churches. Things only get worse when you try to suppress natural desires.

That was really nice!!! :)

I think it's one of those things Paul talked about. . if it's a sin to you, then don't observe it. But there's nothing wrong in observing it, so long as there's no devil worship involved.

This is interesting. .I took a Women's History course. A lot of Native American tribes were more than egalitarian. The Iroquois were actually matriarchal and it's because of their creation myth. As a matter of fact, when presented with the opportunity to return to their colonies, many American...

^^Isn't it Miriam? Or is that, too, another form of Mary? lol Thanks Apodictic. Now I see where 'Isa' comes from. I understand that they both refer to same person. What I should have said was that the two versions are more different than they are alike (I say this based on what I know Muslims...

I think that even if you take away all the atrocities the church has committed in the past, people would still hate us. And that's because we are commanded to be vocal about our beliefs (the gospel). I think that if Muslims and Jews were commanded to do the same, they would be hated just as much...

I really don't see what the difference is. .whether you're a guy or a girl, there is always the risk of rejection. the guy doesn't have to run but the relationship could be changed. .especially considering this is my best friend. That's true but individual cases may be different. It depends...

I think this is the case. The guy is my best friend. . .and we both always talk about the importance of getting to know someone beforehand and not jumping into relationships. .we've both made those mistakes before. News flash. . it goes both ways :P. I feel that way.

Instead of answering my question you pointed out a technicality. So I'm going to assume that 'ee-sa' is not a translation of Jesus but a totally different name, as I suspected. ;) That supports my view that the accounts from the Bible and the Qu'Ran are of two different people.

Lol well. .society is secular BUT we also live in a society with peoples of many different faiths (not exactly sure how it is over where you are) or no faith at all so it's hard to accommodate everyone. Though Christians may be the most vocal about gay marriage, you'd be hard pressed to find a...

OK, I'll try lol. Co narcissism develops from having a narcissistic parent (one is enough. .and usually the other parent is a co narcissist, so both have been modeled for the child). It's a reaction to narcissistic parents where the child learns to submit to the parents opinions and wishes in...

:blush: Lol well. .i hate to say it but I do think it is lying because I'm not being completely honest. . .and this is someone I laugh and talk with all the time so there is more than enough opportunity to be honest with him. And I must be very good at hiding it because he has no clue :ebil: ...

Same question applies.

It's the little ones that really get me. Like what's the point? Some people lie just for sake of lying. lol My best friend always tells me he'll call me back in 5 minutes when he has to get off the phone. 9/10 times he doesn't. I've never called him out on it. I probably should. Like. .telling...
