Lao Tzu's reasoning didn't turn me off. I think there is much intellegence in his words, and that he contemplated things most do not take the time to think about. Christianity attempts to answer spiritual questions, why are we here?, what is our purpose?, where do we go when we die...

I know who Lao Tzu is. I have read some of his writings. I can quote him out of context. "The wise student hears of librarianship and practices it diligently. The average student hears of librarianship and gives it thought now and then. The foolish student hears of librarianship and laughs...

"Strip yourself of your proud airs and numerous desires, your complacent demeanor and excessive ambitions. They won't do you any good. This is all I have to say you"

I listen to John MacArthur on the radio. Some of my favorite Christian authors would be chuck swindoll, Ravi Zacharias, Max Lucado, and Philip Yancey. For commentaries, I preffer reading those by Mr. Calvin. If I may add a quote to stir the pot a little.. "Even the most firm Calvinist, must...

**DreamSlayer holds his breath and waits to see which issue will be discussed first** Well posted. (I am impressed that I understood 80% of the video about Calvinism! My sign is improving, even if the signing was at a moderate pace compared to the pastor at the Deaf church I go to.)

They are scare to telling you that [Nimrod] He is actually relate to the revelation 13 and 17 as in old testment prophet named Daniel 7 and 11:1-4. Daniel 11:1-4 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. 2 And now will I shew thee the truth...

quick comments to clarify and reinforce my arguements; NT Scripture claims that Jesus is the Son of God. He is also the Servant, he is both. Both terms are used for him, but one means he is litterally the "Son" of God. That carries much greater wieght than the word "servant". I though you...

I do not understand. I have not interpreted anything. The Red is scripture. First of all Jeremiah 3:17 Says nothing about a specific group coming out of the nations, it simply says all nations. I did not interpret anything, you have added words. However; I will allow the new testament...

I agree that we have to be fair, but, if I may I will disagree with you in one respect. The word "N*gger" is meant for harm. It is not a word you can use correctly in a positive context. "N*gger" in essence is racist. Some will argue that the deffinition is "ignorant person" However, it is...

Most of my friends, who are black, would take offense to someone white using the word "nigga". They tollerate me using it since I am the only white guy within the group, and any of our racial joking is meant with no disrespect to race at all. That stuff is kept strickly within that context of...

Yup! and I added color... are you impressed?

Slang is often used for humor or irreverence in place of a standard term. Grapes that have been raped. A town that has been raped. A girl that has been raped. A mind that has been raped. these are not examples of Slang. These are example of the correct use of the word. "n*gger" was...

I am no follower of Reba. However I would consider her my sister, if she will allow me to do so. As I consider everyone on this earth a child of God, wether they believe the same as me or not, God loves everyone, and I too must do the same, even if I do not agree with them. The Prophets have...

My appologies, it seems my comments have come across harsher than I had wanted. How have I judged any of you? Or how have I forced my opinion on any of you? If I carefully evaluate your arguement, and conclude that it does not make sense to me, I will question what you have said. If I have...

First, a questioning of one's beliefs should never be considered an attack, until a person simply refuses to listen to your answers and is arguing simply for the sake of making you feel little. This is evident when someone chooses to question an individuals characteristics, instead of the...

...saying that Christianity is the ONLY way, everyone else will go to hell are just offensive fighting words and an ancient source of misery to this world that persists to this day in this very forum. Possibly. OR the statement is true, in which case it is not meant offensively. Christianity...

First, I'm confused as to how the Maya people became involved in this conversation. There are people of Maya decent still around, their civilization failed, but the people didn't just disapear.... They are still around.... wierd.... how do we know that bible actually contains the facts, not...

If I may, I will comment. 1. Jesus was a Jew. Most likely had short hair, dark skin, if you consider the region in which he lived. 2. God is spirit. Probably not male or female, although "Father" would be the best description for God's attitude towards us. 3. Einstien said "God does...

The comment about the barrier between the Deaf and America was taken from gnarleydorkette. However, I have seen how frustrated individuals can become with Pen and Paper, especially in a situation that needs to be dealt with quickly. or if you don't have a pen that works. As for signs...

What a wierd topic, and to be honest, I am a little surpirzed by the responses. The fact that most Americans are decendants of immigrants has been discussed. What if you were born into a country that speaks one language, and yet you speak a different one? ASL and spoken english are two...
