they eye of a needle referred to a gate in the wall of....forget the city...jeruselum???...but the camel...would have to get on it's knees and "crawl in" so it was possible...just difficult You would rather try and twist the words of God then to face the real truth. Ok how about throwing out the Money Changers. Did that really mean some kind of secret code for an easy way out? Why haven't you given all of your possesions away? You still must own a person computer as well as many other things. There are homeless that need that shirt you're wearing more then you do. |

the quote reads..."if you want to be perfect"...but as my mom always says.... there was only one perfect person, and he was crucified Well there you go. No reason to try. Do what ever you want. Sleep around, have many wives, go crazy. Sounds like you got one fun religion figured out Jeez, calm down. He didn't say he does any of those things you just accused him of doing. Actually, if you want to get into specifics then I can. There is much debate about what He meant when he said that. There was a passage way that was called the same thing. Odds are, he was referring to that passage way then an actual eye of a needle. Especially considering that metal fabrication wasn't mastered to that level of detail at that time. So, if he was talking about a difficult-to-navigate passage way then it was very well possible that a camel could make it through. Whatever... I'm sure you knew that. |

don't think it's about money...but rather attitude/way of being So Jesus was saying sell your possessions and give it to the poor. You think he meant if you just "feel like it " it is ok? No need to really give them anything. Your attitude olf wanting to give is enough If you take it as far as you're saying then you shouldn't be wearing that shirt in your profile picture. God gives to the wealthy. If we, literally, gave everything then we'd be poor--also, a burden on others. |

You're taking it the wrong way.
It isn't a sin to be rich. He says it's harder for a rich man to get to Heaven. That simply means that a lot what rich people do isn't glorifying to the will of God. Typically, if you're rich then you aren't giving to the poor; you aren't helping others. There isn't a verse in the Bible that says if you're rich then you wont go to Heaven. It's what you do with your money that isn't in alignment with the God's will for us that may send you to Hell. |

Nah, man... go. Why let someone else keep you from doing something? Besides, you could always make friends at the restruant. That's what I do when I eat alone. It probably would have been better if you planned it before.

I don't agree with it, but no one does it "for love" when they're that old. In fact, most people don't do it for love at all. Really, are you doing it because you're attracted to them or are you waiting to love them first? Sure she was too young, but kids are going to make that mistake. Especially when we promote it.

There's nothing anyone can say that'll change the way you feel. I think if she KNOWS what's going on with you and him then you know she isn't a real friend. Personally, I wouldn't let her close to me again. If she'll burn you once... she might do it again.
He doesn't really love you if he wants to date her--if he wants to date her. He could be using her to force you into a decision. The one thing you don't need to do is crawl back. For 95% of guys, not calling or showing a desire to need them will bug them out. I would do that for a while. If you do it too long then he may just move on. Either way, if he dates her then you don't need either one. I hope it works out for you. |

The way I figure, if I had love then I wouldn't really need the chocolate. Besides, chocolate isn't THAT good.

I find that people with smiles appear friendlier, so I'm more likely to talk to them.
