Have you thought about adding services to the auction houses, specifically enchants? It would be nice as a person looking for a specific enchant to be able to search the auction house. It would also be easy as an enchanter to sell enchants without standing in a major city and yelling for an hour. Also the auction house would help to stablize the market for enchanting. What are your thoughts?
Whatever the next one is, you can be assured that it will be different than the last one. They can only succced by hitting us where we're NOT looking, and by forcing us to expend our resources looking for them where they're not.
That is not entirely correct. Why has the same terrorists organization, Al Qeida, the same group of people, Arab men, targeted the same location, Twin Towers, on three different attempts? Chances are the next terrorist attack will be by individual(s) who have been to afghanistan or other middle east nations (Saudi Arabia). There will always be a possibility of an 'inside' job, but that possibility is far lower than a 'foreign' job.
"Leviticus (at least try to spell it right) is part of the Bible. Various federal and state laws relating to marriage do not, and CANNOT, be built upon religious premises."
That's funny. I thought our fore-fathers used the Bible when writing our laws. That's right they did use the Bible. Go back to US history 101
There are those of us that would say Athiesm is a religion. After all, religion defined by Webster is:
a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith
Atheism is a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith that there is no God. Are you willing to admit that there is a God in order to ban all religion?
It amazes me how people equate God == religion && Atheism != religion
I'm not religious, I'm God's child.
We don't force our beliefs on any one. EX. If I knew how to make a million dollars in one hour guaranteed, are you telling me that you wouldn't want me to share that guarantee with you? How much more worth it is eternal life, which man is always seeking anyways? The problem is not we are forcing our beliefs, but you are forcing yours by requiring churchs to marry same-sex couples, by forcing christian hospitals to perform abortions, by forcing christian organizations to hire those who would destroy them. And we still have the time to force our beliefs on you?
Unfortunately, whoever has told you that the Bible condones people continuing in the practice of a homosexual lifestyle has sadly misled you. To clarify your question, there are at least four matter which the bible clearly affirms: 1. God loves all people. 2. God hates and condemns the sin of homosexuality. 3. Homosexuality is a choice, a sin we have chosen to commit. 4. In order to be saved, one must turn from this and from all sin.
To answer your question, I will take these in the order listed above.
1. God loves all people. God has shown His love for all, including all who have sinned, by providing us with all physical things. Further, as the ultimate proof of His love, He has provided the way by which we can be saved, thought the blood of Jesus.
MAT 5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' MAT 5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you MAT 5:45 in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
ROM 5:6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. ROM 5:7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. ROM 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
2. God hates and condemns the practice of homosexuality. Both in the Old Testament and the New, this is made clear in many passages. It is against the physical make-up of men and women and the purpose of marriage. Notice the following passages.
LEV 20:13 'If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.
ROM 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, ROM 1:19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. ROM 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. ROM 1:21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. ROM 1:22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, ROM 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. ROM 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. ROM 1:25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
3. Homosexuality is a choice, not brought about by necessity. The very nature of sin is, it is an act against the Law of God. Something that we choose to do and are deceived by. Although we may be convinced that we have no choice, this is a part of our deception and will prevent us from facing responsibility for our actions and recognizing our need to change, if we are to please God.
1JOHN 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
JAM 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. JAM 1:14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. JAM 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
4. In order to be saved, we must turn from our sins, including homosexuality. This is clear from Paul's letter to the Corinthians where he
Get a grip. No one, especially Jesus said that God hates gays. But the Bible and Jesus is very clear that the action of gays is wrong and defiling. It's called hate the sin, love the sinner. Does it bug you that Christians are the first to admit that they are sinners? Maybe you believe in self-righteousness, but then who is being arrogant, the Christian or the self-righteous?
The gays agenda is to destroy marriages! If you can't see that then you must have your head in a hole. They don't want marriage. How many gays stay in the same relationship for over 7 years? Not many. Why is it that syphulis and HIV is rampant in gay communities? It's not because they only have one partner. I could careless if someone wanted to live their live as a gay, but when they intrude on my family that crosses the line. When I have to explain why two men or women are kissing on TV, I have to explain why. As for being gay in the genetics, how can you be a gay and your parents not if it is in the genes? How is it that gays can see their wrong and change their sexual preference? It happens you know. Can't be the genes that changed now can it. They are pushing their agenda and are destroying America as we know it. I refuse to have my kids grow up in that hostile type of climate.
1 Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies
Alright how about this one. The Bible predicted that the Jewish people would be scattered throughout tht world. This happened at the end of the Roman Empire. Then in the end times, the Israelites would regather in large numbers back to the "promised land" (ancient Israel). In 1948 this came true when Israel was recognized as an independant nation. This happened as a result of various afflictions angainst Jews at the time. The Bible also predicted that the middle east would be a thorn in the world's side. This has been true since the Crusades. Then when things get real ugly the "Beast" will come and offer the world peace. But it will only last for a season. And no, not everyone that tries to bring peace to the middle east is the "Beast". But all others before him will fail. How many US Presidents have tried to bring peace to the middle east? There is a reason that they have failed. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try.
I was not refering to all men. But it is clear that the Homosexual group has an agenda to push their "values" on every one else. It is clear that it is becoming acceptable in society. No there is no way to stop the rapture or even delay it. For only God the Father knows when that time is. That time does not change based on the course of human events. But that still does not mean we should not try to stem the tide of the homosexual community. Just because we can't stop man from destroying himself doesn't mean we should fold over and except it. Rather as Jesus did, we need to try to help those who are seeking help. Even if the world is lost, we can still reach the individuals
"Correction: Its not a christian term in general, just a Catholic term"
Bzzt. Wrong again. It's a pentacostal term. Most Catholics don't believe in the rapture.
Let's see:
The Bible predicts that a mark will be needed to buy or sell. It was predicted almost 2000 years ago. There were no computers or electronics then. There was no means to buy or sell via a mark. Now we are a few years away from this being common place. True the whole prophecy is not fulfilled, but the fulfillment is currently happening. That makes it a little hard to ignore.
The Bible predicted that the world would become as Sodom and Gomorah before the end times. Sodom and Gomorah was known as very sinful cities. The men desired other men and the women desired other women. This is clearly coming true now. Homosexuals are becoming more prevalent and Homosexuality will become a legitamate way of life.
The Bible predicted the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple. Guess what? There are plans by the Israelis to rebuild the temple. Why do you think there are so many problems between Palestinians and Israelis? Because a Muslim mosque is placed where the Temple is to be rebuilt. Mark my words, the mosque will be destroyed.
The Bible predicts the rebuilding of Babylon. Guess what? Before Sadam was ousted Babylon was being rebuilt including the hanging gardens.
Need more?
You can argue free speach all you want. You can argue the DNC discriminates against coporations, but the fact of the matter is that if Telemarketers were less obtrusive (calling at dinner time. calling on Sunday morning), the DNC would not be needed. The DNC is there to correct a wrong. The DMA has pushed past it's legal limits and have invaded home privacy. Once a legal entity breaks a law or abuses it's power, laws or court rulings are needed to reign in the abuser, in this case telemarketers. The abuser should and will lose some of the rights because they intruded on others rights. eg. Microsoft had a anti-trust suit brought against it. They were found guilty and a restriction was placed on them. Unfortunately, this is not always the case such as the RIAA, etc.
This is yet another case of Judicial Tyrrany. The courts are out of control. Last I checked, legal precedent does not equal law! What we have are liberal judges who extend the law with unconstitutional precendent. This precedent then becomes law through further judicial ruling. As more precedents are set, we move further from the constitution. Right now the courts are left unchecked. There is supposed to be 3 branches of gov't with each having a check over the others. This has been broken as of late and the judicial branch has been unconstrained.
It's funny that the Dem's all voted for the DNC and that they believe the judicial system is run amuk, but when Bush nominates men and women who will level out the judicial system and prevent this tyrrany, they block the nominations. These judges that are not following the constitution are amazingly mostly apointed by Democratic Presidents. And they say the nominated judges that they are blocking are too partial and extreme. Right!
Funny since you can download the.NET framework and SDK for free. Oh did I mention that you can also download a free C# command line compiler as well. Go back to school apparently you missed something while you were a pup.
He has far more than that planned. Just read Revelations or the Left Behind series. And you people will still not believe, until you see Him face to face.
I don't believe that I have called or labelled any one as a fool. I was merely quoting scripture. Others felt compelled to quote from various books, so I quoted from the Bible.
Is there any point in a Creationist arguing with a Darwinian? If you don't have an answer you just say things like, "The absence of something does not prove it doesn't exist". Well how can you believe that something existed without andy proof. That too me sounds like TRUE BLIND faith, or lack thereof. How lame of an excuse is that?

"Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name?

Revelation 15:4
"Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord."
Don't worry, the day that you will see credible evidence is coming. No one will be able to deny it.
Psalms 14:1
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."
" Lack of evidence of one thing is not proof of another."
Exactly right. Can you disprove that there is a God? Can you disprove Creationism?
Thought Not!
Is there any point in a Creationist arguing with a Darwinian? If you don't have an answer you just say things like, "The absence of something does not prove it doesn't exist". Well how can you believe that something existed without andy proof. That too me sounds like TRUE BLIND faith, or lack thereof. How lame of an excuse is that?
I prefer blind faith over the blind leading the blind.
