when a cousin brother says the more continous time i spend with family, the more you're going to remember them, does that mean this cousin wants you to remember him..What is the true meaning behind this?
Your cousin means... the more time you spend with family the more you will remember them and probably vice versa! However, there is also a saying. ';Familiarity breeds contempt!'; I personally feel it is not the amount of time that you spend with family or anyone for that matter, but the quality of time you spend with them that matters!!!What is the true meaning behind this?
Yes. he wants to spend more time with u.. sounds as if he is very family orientated..
have a good time.. good luck..
What is a cousin brother? Isn't your cousin's brother your cousin? Now a days maybe not. Honestly I can't figure out what your trying to ask!
You could ask him ?
Is he Gay ? he seems to be preocupied with minuatae ?
just ask your cousin brother what he meant, or ask your sister daughter, aunt niece or grandma neighbor. lol
It sounds like he wants you to remember them. It seems pretty straightforward to me.

What is the true meaning of love??
When you're in love you can't explain what it means to others.What is the true meaning of love??
I LOVE HER VERY MUCH.......What is the true meaning of love??
true love is a high and holy principle altogether different from that love which is awkened by impulse and suddenly dies when severely tested. marriage instead of being the end of love will be it's beginning. Love in it's truest form can be expressed in giving for others. that is where it came from. It is GOD'S principle. because HE is the ONE WHO GAVE FIRST.
If philosophers and theologians have been trying to answer this question for thousands of years, what makes you think that you'll get the ';true'; meaning, rather than a poorly formulated working definition, of love off of Yahoo! Answers? Or are you just unaware that your question is an open one; one that does not admit of a single answer that excludes the possibility of other plausible answers?
No idea. It isn't what we think it is...Can we ever fathom what love is?
their is no fact answer to your question
love is the happiness of today and promise of tomorrows
love is the feeling of true happiness
love is the language that two heart can express
love
L= lake of sorrow
O= ocean of joy
V= valley of death
E= end of life
When you 'feel' something, somebody as a part of you, you experience love.... unconditional, without any expectation... what a mother feels for her baby , at least for a few months..... the experience is still fresh, it was a part of her, in the womb... And human being can evolve(by choice) to experience this love Universally too...
Doing something so very painful and then forgetting all about it once its placed in your arm. Having children is the true meaning of love.
The true meaning of love cannot be described or explained.
Love is when you care so much for someone that you would do anything for them.
Love is painful.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love is the greatest treasure.
Love is when someone throws up on you and you stay up with them so they can throw up on you again.
Love is the greatest gift.
Love conquers all.
Love is what the Grinch learned that day when he was on his way home with the spoils and he heard love anyway.
Love is a beautiful and wonderful thing.
For God so loved the world that he gave His only son, that whoever believes in HIM shall have everlasting life.
The true meaning of love can only be felt with the heart.
It is too grand for words.
Peace.
true love is just when u can reach the extreme level of honesty
and frank with the other partner, it's when u got no limits for tellin her or him the smallest secrets of your life . and feel no shame for doing this.
it's also when u can feel about each other without begin together,, u just get worried right now about your partner! and u get to call her or him and u really find them in trouble or having bad times.. and vise-versa
and true love cannot be from one side .. it's gotta be giving and taking... not only one of them
and when someone can live only giving and not waiting to take back... this can be an angle :)

Is this friend jealous of me? If she is, then does that mean she's not a true friend?
I would have thought that a true friend would be happy for your achievements and will wish you well when you have success. Is this true? I have a friend (for 20 years now) who always seems to be irritated when I get a chance to travel or get asked out. The fact is, I work on a contract basis, very hard, save and take long breaks. She has another lifestyle, more pay but needs to be home 12 months of the year with short vacation breaks. She seems to try to 'pull me down' to her level by a 'silent' reaction when I told her I'm thinking of travelling again or by mentioning that she could not date the guy I'm with (as he earns less then me). Does this mean she is not a true friend?Is this friend jealous of me? If she is, then does that mean she's not a true friend?
She is certainly missing something in her life.. she wants to get out sometimes and travel. I don't know if she is in a relationship? if not.. or if she is not in a serious relationship maybe she hopes that when you are on vacation you would travel somewhere with her.. or that you go on holiday together.. even if both of you have partners.. she probably would like all of you to go to a holiday destination together...She seems envious.. that she can't go.. Jealousy would mean.. she wants your guy.. envy means to envy you your ability to travel so much in your job... Jealousy is always about wanting the same man.
I think in order to find out for sure what is going on in her thoughts, you as her friend of 20 years should sit down with her, and just bring up this subject and ask her.. I have a best friend.. we have been best friends for 38 years.. I have known her since I was 9 years old and I will be 47 this year.. she is 2 years younger.. she was 7 and I was 9 when we became friends.. after such a long time of friendship I believe one can be absolutely honest with each other... I tell nobody as much about me.. not even my parents or my husband as my best friend knows about me.. she knows me better than everyone.. she tells me sometimes if she believes I did not behave as I should have done.. but she is more than a best friend and more than a sister to me.. and if I feel upset by something she said.. I can talk to her openly about it as well... you should ask her. If she is your friend, she will be honest with you.. to respect each other and to be honest with each other.. is very important in a friendship.. as it also is in a relationship with a man or in a marriage!Is this friend jealous of me? If she is, then does that mean she's not a true friend?
She is not your true friend. But this does not mean that you shouldnt talk to her and try to get her to understand that its her choices that got her where she is at.
Your instincts are right, she's jealous and not a true friend.
She could be a crackhead.
Honey, the only real way that you are going to know this is by asking your friend. People forget to communicate and communication is the key to a healthy relationship. Try asking your friend how she is feeling about your succes, about you traveling and about the guy that you are dating.
Communication with a true friend should be easy and understandable and always sincere. Jealousy, greed and COMPETITION are the most hurtful in a relationship and you's want to eliminate these any chance that you get. You can do this by talking/communicating with your friends and acknowledging your feelings.
She is probably just hurting inside because she is not happy, don't take it to personally, she just needs some help is all. Be straight up with her and let her know your feelings, be careful with your wording though, you don't want to start a fight. Just let her know that you FEEL like she is acting in a jealous manner towards your succes and that you care about her and would not want her to be unhappy. Who knows, she might open up to you about things you did not even think were an issue, a lot of the time thats just it: there is an underlying issue that people don't talk about and they kind of beat around the bush. Just talk to her and remember that you are friends!
She lives a different lifestyle and could have resentment because you do what makes you happen. As they say we work to live we don't live to work. Taking those long breaks gives you time to relax and regenerate. You can work smart or dumb you my have a handle on it. You keep doing what you do and don't let anyone bring you down. My boy is also the traveling kind, He started reading when he was 5 and he not only dreamed but one summer when he was 16 came home with a plane ticket and said he wanted to travel during the summer. I had to think on this seeing how he was young and traveling alone, well it turned out I let him go praying I made the right choice, damn it was sink or swim. Turned out he handled it great hit something like 22 countries, shook hands with the Pope. He kept a journal of his travels if you care to see and you have an email I send the link. or email me, I hear all these kids moaning about being bored with nothing to do, well as you know it's all up to us what we do. He's now in second year at a University straight A's and in for a great journey. You don't change for anyone, you are right for you. I see you have a email look at the boy's journal he is 16 at the time

What is the true meaning of ';R.I.P';?
I know it means ';rest in peace';,
but if you're dead, its not like you're going to be disrupted, right?What is the true meaning of ';R.I.P';?
Well, back in the early days, folks were not so sure that dead was dead. Stories of vampires were not ';just'; stories. The concept of the tombstone was not just a place to write who the dead person was, but a way to hold them in their grave. Many of today's death rituals were designed to keep the dead in their graves or ';on the other side';. Mythology, fairy tales, and real life were very twisted together. Superstitions ran pretty high.What is the true meaning of ';R.I.P';?
' rest in peace%26gt;'
from the latin 'requiest in pacem'
Requisat in pacem.

What is the true meaning of money..and its porpouse in our lives?
sounds like you're bored..................What is the true meaning of money..and its porpouse in our lives?
';Money'; is a medium of exchange.
It also acts as accountability.
Purpose is to promote learning to earn, sacred labor, vocation, balanced mastery of energy.
';The Path of the Higher Self,'; Mark Prophet.What is the true meaning of money..and its porpouse in our lives?
MISERY!
Money is everyone's GOD---whether they realize it or not. Everything revolves around the things money can afford, both necessitities and luxuries. It is deceiving and alluring: a convincing taste of money through paltry wages has people wondering and dreaming what they'd do with loads of it if they landed the lottery! What nonsense---there are better odds of surviving a severe illness than winning the lottery (1: 14 billion +), yet this sort of dream about money will allow some a meaningful fantasy.
The true meaning of money is that it is god. No one admits it, but they hold money dear. Even the churches (tele-evenagelists especially) understand money is what gives them power. Joel Osteen, generally a feel-good pop psychology teleevangelist knows the power of psychology to create a cash flow. His empire and business brings in truckloads of money each year simply through the mail---a figure of over 30 million. In-house gatherings are 40 million plus. People are willing to give 5 bucks to 200 bucks a person because Joel makes them feel empowered to go and be successful (get more money). But it isn't money just flowing in that makes this man mega-rich. It's his mega-success books. People want the minister who knows psychology to brain wash them into success, $$$.
Money isn't bad, because apparently the church would deny money it it were evil. Rather, they encourage it and hoard it, yet speak ill of INDIVIDUALS who ';hoard'; it. They are against those who keep their hard earned money----kind of like the government or any huge institution of power. They want everyone to give and submit to their power.
While there is less wrong in giving it to the government for more or less expenditures of need (anyone can argue this one but let's let this one slide), the church is not a comparable provider of physical needs. Churches are themselves charities in need. I'd support Joel Osteen and empire (his family) if he would use/donate even 50% of his megachurch endowments and earnings for medical research for AIDS/cancer, or help feed the starving children. If he keeps just 1% of his income, that's already $700,000 of personal income just from people sending money in the mail and from the pews. This figure makes him already rich on just 1% of all that flow of money, besides the loads of money from his books! Don't you suspect anything fishy about this? Apparently, no one does and they just keep blindly sending because he helps them feel better. Osteen bathes in too much money for an evangelist. In the bible, it declares it as fact that it is more difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Well, we know the camels will never be able to do that. That means the rich man entering heaven is impossible. Osteen, what have you got to say? Any counterarguments?
Money is the way to a means
Its purpose was to give us the reason we needed to self discipline ourselves and go out to earn a living
Inflation...we won't go there right now
hi.. you need true meaning of money? and also its purposes in our lives? go ahead.. money is a meaning of wealth..it comes to us in many ways. First i say the true meaning.. it is affluence, arrears, assets, Bank notes, coins,currency, dividend, earnings, finance, fund, grant, fortunes, income, interest and profit etc., what is coming in the form of above is called money. money is coming from salary, wages, and sometimes from winnings..The money is to spend for needy. monthly rent (if rented home), energy charge payments, buying eatables for home, dinner, tea party, expenditure on medical grounds, payment of bills for all necessary. invest in bank, buying shares of a company, loaning, for children's education, buying new cloths and therreby stitching charges, gas charges and buying computers, TV, electronic items and so on. The main purpose is to live and for living money is necessary. if you want to go anywhere money plays major rolls for tickets, petrol, lunch, etc.,
money, was made to give everybody a certain status..
and right now im on the POOORERRR side of the spectrum, =(
Money is one form of energy or power in the present day world. Previously people bartered materials for buying things. Even services were paid through food materials. In very ancient days, 'salt' was given to workers as their remuneration. The word 'salary' has root on this practice. As it is convenient to exchange money for any goods or services, currencies gained acceptance in business and administration. Originally gold, silver and nickle or copper or brass coins were minted. Paper currencies came into existence for convenience sake. Nowadays we have plastic cards for all transanctions, which are easy to carry and secure. The cards are accepted all over the globe. The purpose of our lives is served through money for all kinds of transactions.
to support us in our everyday needs and wants...but we have to work hard for it...love the money and its importance but not make it the god of your life...and you cannot buy anything especially happiness..
Back when I grew wheat and so did you . An i needed one of your pigs for I had none . What could I trade you for your pig ? You all ready had wheat so money was developed as a promissory note so that when you needed some thing and the other person needed none of what you had they would take the money . Knowing that the next person would do the same . Its the universal trade good .
it pays the bills
It's purpose is to sustain us. Without money, we have nowhere to live. No food, heat or clothes. It's everything.
Hey ya鈥?
Money is not ever thing in life鈥?there are credit cards also鈥? But on a serious note鈥?it plays a vital role in our lives鈥?at least mine. It鈥檚 the most basic thing that I need for my survival鈥?
People might think that money is not as important as family, buy friend etc. Yes it鈥檚 not鈥?but do they also think the same??? Do u think u living with Ur parents on their income just coz u love them is gonna make them feel good about u??? U bet not.
So I strongly feel that money has a great sole to play in ma life at least.
Cheers!!!
';So you think that money is the root of all evil?'; said Francisco d'Anconia. ';Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?...................................
';But money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.

So what is YOUR true meaning? I read a whole lot of stuff on this venue and different places that say different things--most that are contrary to what the bible actually does say. Seems that many religions tend to embellish the bible a bit or a lot, it is quite clear in the gospels who the son of god is, and his place, but that is not what many religions state or say.Why do so many people misunderstand the true meaning of the term ';Son of God';?
Maybe it means different things to different people?

Some men are very romantic...but you have to be cautious with the romantic ones...as I have learned that they have bought the roses, lit the candles and played soft music for all their girls.What is the true meaning of romanc? Why cant guys figure that out?
Maybe they cant figure out the meaning for ';romanc'; because it's not a word..... Did you mean romantic?What is the true meaning of romanc? Why cant guys figure that out?

If the KJV 1611 is the ';true'; word of God, what did that mean for people before that time?
I'm confused...does that mean everyone before that time was screwed? And say I crashed on a deserted island with only a NIV...am I screwed as well? Please show me why the KJV 1611 is the ';true'; word of God.If the KJV 1611 is the ';true'; word of God, what did that mean for people before that time?
Nothing. Because KJV 1611 was not yet existing that time. What matters is not before KJV 1611 because the people back then are ALL dead. What matters is TODAY. KJV 1611 is the Authorized Version. God provided His Authorized Version during the time before KJV 1611, and He provided one today...KJV 1611.
Forgive my answer.If the KJV 1611 is the ';true'; word of God, what did that mean for people before that time?
The KJV was put together using earlier writings and was supposed to be the last and accurate interpretation. It doesn't mean that the earlier writings were necessarily inaccurate. So your question of ';everyone before'; the KJV being ';screwed'; is off kilter.
The ONLY reason the KJV 1611 was so popular and was regarded as ';true word of God'; is because King James was one of THE MOST POPULAR AND MOST POWERFUL leaders of the WORLD when it was declared The Authorized Version of the Church of England and was forced upon the US Colonies. The Real True Word of God is the original Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic manuscripts. Any other translation or version is close and if all you have is the NIV or NASV or ESV or KJV than that is still ok.
I must also add that NOBODY today can even read the original English of 1611. It was much different than today. So guess what? The KJV you have today is not the same as the original 1611 KJV.
the 1611 KJV is really only useful to reference the Strong;s Exhaustive Concordance.
Other than that, the KJV is not a very consistent translation.
John here is a link to all the books, texts and verses that were removed from the bible. The bible has been revised and also changed many times from the original KJV 1611 the last two times in 1979 and 1992 was done by the Baptist church in North America to remove all extraterrestrial and evolutionary text. To create the bible that is used only in North America. To stop questioning about these texts which are also in the Dead Sea Scrolls and in all Sumerian, Babylonian, Aboriginal, Mayan ,Egyptian and in many ancient religious text.

Sorry it is so long
The Holy Bible was around alot longer then the KJV. Notice is says 1611, that is the year it was produced.The first machine printed bible was in the 1500's(latter part) before then all bibles were in Latin and were hand written and very expensive and only the church had them.
When was the Old Testament compiled? Some would decide for about the year 430 B.C., under Esdras and Nehemiah, resting upon the authority of the famous Jew, Josephus, who lived immediately after the Our Lord, and who declares that since the death of Ataxerxes, B.C. 424, ‘no one had dared to add anything to the Jewish Scriptures, to take anything from them, or to make any change in them.’ Other authorities, again, contend that it was not till near 100 B.C. that the Old Testament volume was finally closed by the inclusion of the ‘Writings’. But whichever contention is correct, one thing at least is certain, that by this last date – that is, for 100 years before the birth of Our Blessed Lord – the Old Testament existed precisely as we have it now.
Of course, I have been speaking so far of the Old Testament, in Hebrew, because it was written by Jewish authority in the Jewish language, namely, Hebrew, for Jews, God’s chosen people. But after what is called the ';dispersion’ of the Jews, when that people was scattered abroad and settled in many other lands outside Palestine, and began to lose their Hebrew tongue and gradually became familiar with Greek, which was then a universal language, it was necessary to furnish them with a copy of their Sacred Scriptures in the Greek language. Hence arose that translation of the Hebrew Old Testament into Greek known as the Septuagint. This word means in Latin 70, and is so named because it is supposed to have been the work of 70 translators, who performed their task at Alexandria, where there was a large Greek-speaking colony of Jews. Begun about 280 or 250 years before Christ, we may safely say that it was finished in the next century; it was the acknowledge Bible of all the ‘Jews of the Dispersion’ in Asia, as well as in Egypt, and was the Version used by Our Lord, His Apostles and Evangelists, and by Jews and Gentiles and Christians in the early days of Christianity. It is from this Version that Jesus Christ and the New Testament writers and speakers quote when referring to the Old Testament.
But what about the Christians in other lands who could not understand Greek? When the Gospel had been spread abroad, and many people embraced Christianity through the labors of the Apostles and missionaries in the first two centuries of our era, naturally they had to be supplied with copies of the Scriptures of the Old Testament (which was the inspired Word of God) in their own tongue; and this gave rise to translations of the Bible into Armenian and Syriac and Coptic and Arabic and Ethiopic for the benefit of the Christians in these lands. For the Christians in Africa, where Latin was best understood, there was a translation of the Bible made into Latin about 150 A.D., and, later, another and better for the Christians in Italy; but all these were finally superseded by the grand and most important version called the ‘Vulgate’ – that is, the common, or current or accepted Version. This was in the fourth century of our era. By this time St. Jerome was born, there was great need of securing a correct and uniform text in Latin of Holy Scripture, for there was danger, through the variety and corrupt conditions of many translations then existing, lest the pure scripture should be lost. So Jerome, who was a monk, and perhaps the most learned scholar of his day, at the command of Pope St. Damascus in 382 A.D., made a fresh Latin Version of the New Testament (which was by this time practically settled) correcting the existing versions by the earliest Greek MSS he could find. Then in his cell at Bethlehem, between (approximately) the years 392-404, he also translated the Old Testament into Latin directly from the Hebrew (and not from the Greek Septuagint) – except the Psalter, which he had previously revised form existing Latin Versions. This Bible was the celebrated Vulgate, the official text in the Catholic Church, the value of which all Scholars admit to be simply inestimable, and which continued to influence all other versions, and to hold the chief place among Christians down to the Reformation. I say the ‘official’ text, because the Council of Trent in 1546 issued a decree, stamping it as the only recognized and authoritative Version allowed to Catholics. ‘If anyone does not receive the entire books with all their pars as they are accustomed to be read in the Catholic Church, and in the old Latin Vulgate Edition, a sacred and canonical... let him be anathema.’ It was revised under Pope Sixtus V in 1590, and again under Pope Clement VIII in 1593, who is responsible for the present standard text. It is form the Vulgate that our English Douai Version comes; and it is of this say Vulgate that the Commission under Cardinal Gasquet, by command of the Pope, is trying to find or restore the original text as it came from the hands of St. Jerome, uncorrupted by and stripped of subsequent admixtures with other Latin copies.
The complete bible was finished by 397AD
The Church and the Faith existed before the Bible; that seems an elementary and simple fact which no one can deny or ever has denied. Thousands of people became Christians through the work of the Apostles and missionaries of Christ in various lands, and believed the whole truth of God as we believe it now, and became saints, before ever they saw or read, or could possibly see or read, a single sentence of inspired Scripture of the New Testament, for the simple reason that such Scripture did not then exist. How, then, did they become Christians? In the same way, of course, by hearing the truth of God from the lips of Christ’s missionaries. When the twelve Apostles met together in Jerusalem, and portioned out the known world among themselves for purposes of evangelization, allotting one country to one Apostle (such as India to St. Thomas), and another to another, but how did they propose to evangelize these people? By presenting each one with a New Testament? Such a thing did not exist, and, we may safely say, was not even thought of. Why did Our Lord promise them the gift of the Holy Ghost, and command them to be ‘witnesses’ of Him? And why, in fact, did the Holy Ghost come down upon the Twelve and endow them with the power of speaking in various languages? Why but that they might be able to ‘preach the Gospel to every creature’ in the tongue of every creature.
Before we were born Jesus died for all, so also, he died for all those dead.
The bible is for those alive Matt.24:3,14; to know of his second coming and the end of the world as all is made new again [ as last day, time of the end, time no longer ], ends Satan, 1Thes.5:1-9,21; To children of the light, Jesus does not come as a thief in the night, HIS WORD IS THEIR GUIDE
1Cor.15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the
resurrection of the dead. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even
so in Christ shall all be made alive. 15:23 But every man in
his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that
are Christ's at his coming. 15:24 Then cometh the end, when
he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father;
when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his
feet. 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he
saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is
excepted, which did put all things under him. 15:28 And when
all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also
himself be subject unto him that put all things under him,
that God may be all in all.
Rom.5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ
died for the ungodly. 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will
one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to
die. 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 5:9 Much more then,
being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath
through him. 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were
reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more,
being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Heb.9:27; It is appointed unto man once to die, and after that the
judgement. 2Cor.5:10; For we will all appear before Jesus.
Rom.14:9-12. Philip.2:5,9-12; Rev.20:1-6,12,13; 2Pet.3:13;
Rev.21:1-5; Jesus makes all things new and perfect for God in
his 1000 year reign and all perfect pass into the kingdom of GOD.
NO! With THOUSANDS of DELIBERATE MISTRANSLATIONS, even in the 17th century it was not the ';best'; English translation available and NEVER HAS BEEN...
tebone0315 Errors:
1. The FIRST complete Bible in English was Wyclif's, finished in the 1380s, before the printing press... There were NUMEROUS English Bibles produced long before the 1500s.

3. Jerome ';made a fresh Latin Version of the New Testament (which was by this time practically settled)...'; Well, since the Muratorian Canon of c. 165 AD ';practically settled'; the text of the New Testament, I would hope it was settled two centuries later.

The 1611 KJV was a great translation into english...mostly the other ones around were in Latin or Greek. When the english king threw out the roman catholic church (Henry Tudor) and made himself to be called the head of the holy catholic church, they needed a translation into english.
I think most bibles are accurate enough to lead you a point of purity and wsdom sufficient that you can ask the author himself.
greg
God dealt with them. There were biblical texts long before the KJV.
But what has that got to do with you.
You're main concern is today and what are you going to do about what the KJV says.
Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, died on the cross to save us from our sin, rose the third day to conquer death for us, ascended to heaven to prepare a place for us, and is coming back to get all who believe this.
Will you believe this?
Would you like to go with Jesus when He returns?
KJV arguments are pretty silly when you get down to it. KJV is a translation from the Greek and Hebrew scripture - nothing more. It may have been a good translation at the time, but it's language is archaic by today's standards and as such miscommunicates what the Bible's intended meaning is in places. Though NKJV is not bad. I use NIV, but go straight to the Greek for serious indepth questions. I find that all the modern translations are pretty good and you only need to go to the Greek for nuances of meaning.
Good question, have u ever gone to the library or on line and look up information about King James.
No u are not screwed God sent His Son (who is the Word of God) so that u could call on Him and He would place u in the Lambs book of Life.
Many people are confussed about the Bible, but just follow the creator and u will be fine.
There are some good sites that explain how the original sacred manuscripts have been interpreted and expounded on and in translation lead to confusion.
KJV is just one of many that might follow under such conditions.
Why do you think you are screwed?
You r not screwed just b/c u believe u do not have the correct version,or u think in your version it does not prove the true word of God.
All scripture was written by man BUT inspired by God.
The main thing you might consider is what Jesus taught.
He can teach you spiritually.
peace
peace! dont confuse yourself in versions of the bible ';theres many of them';, the bishop version, genevian, american,english ect. abraham,noah %26amp; even moses were favored in gods eyes(check the bible). they were righteous men. see we dont need a book for our basic nature which tells us instantly when we are doing something wrong %26amp; these men listened to there nature %26amp; did the right things in life %26amp; gained favor %26amp; a place in gods heaven, these books were put here to go deeper in to understanding gods will %26amp; what he did %26amp;did not want for man, so try to relax %26amp; follow your nature which will not lye to you! the question is will you lye to yourself?
because some white dude said so.
isn't that what usually happens around here (and by here i mean all of written history)?
Because, King James mastered all of the verses from the previous and breathed what the Lord wanted more to God word. As you see the previous ones before the King James they are simlilar but hard to understand.
Nothing. Because KJV 1611 was not yet existing that time. What matters is not before KJV 1611 because the people back then are ALL dead. What matters is TODAY. KJV 1611 is the Authorized Version.

You r not screwed just b/c u believe u do not have the correct version,or u think in your version it does not prove the true word of God.
All scripture was written by man BUT inspired by God.
The main thing you might consider is what Jesus taught.
He can teach you spiritually.
peace
peace! dont confuse yourself in versions of the bible ';theres many of them';, the bishop version, genevian, american,english ect. abraham,noah %26amp; even moses were favored in gods eyes(check the bible). they were righteous men. see we dont need a book for our basic nature which tells us instantly when we are doing something wrong %26amp; these men listened to there nature %26amp; did the right things in life %26amp; gained favor %26amp; a place in gods heaven, these books were put here to go deeper in to understanding gods will %26amp; what he did %26amp;did not want for man, so try to relax %26amp; follow your nature which will not lye to you! the question is will you lye to yourself?
because some white dude said so.
isn't that what usually happens around here (and by here i mean all of written history)?
Because, King James mastered all of the verses from the previous and breathed what the Lord wanted more to God word. As you see the previous ones before the King James they are simlilar but hard to understand.

If you love one woman, and are true and respectful to that woman, does that mean you love all women?
All of Humanity?
Sex is an act of love right? So I guess my true question is, how many times can you truly be in love for one lifetime??????
Please, do not say it is ';relative';.If you love one woman, and are true and respectful to that woman, does that mean you love all women?
No it do not mean you love all all women. There is only one true love in a lifetime no exception.If you love one woman, and are true and respectful to that woman, does that mean you love all women?
sex is an act of passion, love may or may not be present at the same time.
as for how many times, that is a very personal question. some will never get over the first, others will have several.
most of us do not know what true love is, and may not see it when we get to it.
If you love that one woman then you love t hat one woman. Sex is an act of love but people do abuse that sometimes. In one lifetime I would say that it is possible to be truly in love twice.
The relationships between Men and Women are so lax now. It has all became such a casual thing. Some people don't take marriage and sex seriously. If you wait until you know you have the right one, then you will know you are in love for life.
You can be truly in love with several women during a lifetime.

True meaning of xmas letter?
I am handing out gifts for xmas and I would like to attche a saying or letter about the true meaning of xmas... More like being with family than reiciving gifts and feeling like xmas is work then fun. My family has seem to forget about the true meaning and I would like to remind them.True meaning of xmas letter?
The true meaning of Christmas is to rejoice in the birth of our Lord and Savior.True meaning of xmas letter?
That would be incredibly self righteous. If I got a letter like that from a a family member, I'd be furious and offended.
If you want to remind them, then give a donation in each of their names to a worthy charity that no one will be offended by. Perhaps buy 10 Barbie Dolls from Target and donate them to Toys for Tots or your local children's hospital. Insert a note into each card, perhaps with a photo of a child in the program, saying that 'In the spirit of the holiday season, a child with cancer has been given a new barbie in your name.'
Obviously you've forgottent he true meaning of CHRISTmas too if you write ';xmas';
Merry Christmas!
CHRISTmas is when christ was supposedly born and he gave his life for us so christmas is supposed to be about giving and not recieving
Christmas, not xmas.facial hair

Is it true on average that better looking girls are meaner than not so good looking ones?
Here's a good example dealing with high school girls.
In high school, social hierarchies are constructed on the basis of attractiveness, with some other minor factors playing a role. The more attractive girls are naturally the more popular ones. However, because they are so popular, they must limit the amount of close friends they have, since women, in general, are more likely to form close friendships (Men tend to have larger groups of friends, but each friend is less close to him).
So, the more popular you are, the more people want to be your friend. However, you can't be close friends with everybody; it just isn't doable, and so you have to 'refuse' many more friendships than you would have to if you were unpopular.
This refusal to be friends with everybody is what gives popular high school girls the image of meanness; they aren't any more mean, the social hierarchy just forces them to be selective in their friendships.Is it true on average that better looking girls are meaner than not so good looking ones?
no just the oppositeIs it true on average that better looking girls are meaner than not so good looking ones?
I find that better looking women are much nicer and friendlier towards men than are the less attractive women.
Though I've noticed that attractive women are not always so nice to other women, it's a competition thing I suppose.
I dunno about meaner. Haughtier, yeah. More used to getting their own way. At least on average.
Only in high school. Then they grow up.
No. Some people are beautiful and b!tchy, some people are pretty and nice, some people are ugly and rude and some people are ugly and friendly...
It really depends...
Personality is the sum of your experiences, nothing to do with how you look.
I don't think you're trying to be mean in your question, so I will try to answer it... No. There are just as many mean ugly women as there are mean pretty ones. Just as there are as many gorgeous men that are mean as there are ugly ones.
meaner to what ?? people? places? things?
It is very true. The better then looking, the more superficial and bitchyy because she knows she can get away with it with most people.
The really ugly ones are just really bitter. Not necessarily mean. But if they want people around them, they are WAY nicer.
Yes and no. I would go further and explain, but I am too mean.
I really don't think so, as we can see women on yahoo answers are very mean, would you conclude that because of that they are beautiful? trust me man, I have seen pictures of many of them and they鈥檙e fat and ugly.
I dont think on average they are meaner. I know alot of women who are beautiful that are very nice and alot of women who are beautiful that are very mean. What Ive noticed is that the nice ones only become more beautiful in my eyes and the mean ones lose their shine quickly...they get ugly in my eyes.
Maybe they're just conceited because men are always pandering to them for sex.

Do you think people still know the true meaning of valentine's day ?
eg - cards to be given to a person you admire from afar, sweetheart, lover, wife husdand etc - or has it all got out of hand ie kids giving cards to mums, dads etcDo you think people still know the true meaning of valentine's day ?
Valentines Day is great, it reminds everyone, especially those in a long term relationship, to cherish the person you love and to do something for them, but as usual businesses try to turn a penny out of it, like they do everything else ;)Do you think people still know the true meaning of valentine's day ?
The message of pure love is conveyed on valentine's day. Our near and dear should enjoy. Our sweet hearts should love us without any reservation. Love is a noble emotion. It should not be corrupted. Two hearts get attracted and love sprouts Possessiveness may bring jealousy and evil thoughts. Suspecion of any kind is like a spark near the cotton bale. Or like a spark near petrol. Don't doubt your partner. All the best
Yes!
I love valentines day!
All my friends are always worrying about, 'great single again on valentines day'
and I'll not care about that day, and just go out with my friends
and when i come home these cards, rose and chocolates from...well I
DO LOL, i'M GUESSING SOME BOYS :]
ahhhh I love it :]
%26lt;3
Valentines day is just a day for the card companies to make a profit.
You can't do anything that day that you couldn't do any other day.
Valentines day is only 24 hours. it is nothing special, it is only one insignificant day in a whole year of 365 days.
Valentines day It's just another way of companies making money.. i don't need 1 day a year to tell someone i love them..
That is just the way i see it
Who cares. If you are into it at all, it`s still fun. Some people love it....and use it for various reasons.
I still think it has it's true meaning...
People make such fuss about it!

What is the true meaning behind this?
when a cousin brother says the more continous time i spend with family, the more you're going to remember them, does that mean this cousin wants you to remember him..What is the true meaning behind this?
Your cousin means... the more time you spend with family the more you will remember them and probably vice versa! However, there is also a saying. ';Familiarity breeds contempt!'; I personally feel it is not the amount of time that you spend with family or anyone for that matter, but the quality of time you spend with them that matters!!!What is the true meaning behind this?
Yes. he wants to spend more time with u.. sounds as if he is very family orientated..
have a good time.. good luck..
What is a cousin brother? Isn't your cousin's brother your cousin? Now a days maybe not. Honestly I can't figure out what your trying to ask!
You could ask him ?
Is he Gay ? he seems to be preocupied with minuatae ?
just ask your cousin brother what he meant, or ask your sister daughter, aunt niece or grandma neighbor. lol
It sounds like he wants you to remember them. It seems pretty straightforward to me.

What is the true meaning of love??
When you're in love you can't explain what it means to others.What is the true meaning of love??
I LOVE HER VERY MUCH.......What is the true meaning of love??
true love is a high and holy principle altogether different from that love which is awkened by impulse and suddenly dies when severely tested. marriage instead of being the end of love will be it's beginning. Love in it's truest form can be expressed in giving for others. that is where it came from. It is GOD'S principle. because HE is the ONE WHO GAVE FIRST.
If philosophers and theologians have been trying to answer this question for thousands of years, what makes you think that you'll get the ';true'; meaning, rather than a poorly formulated working definition, of love off of Yahoo! Answers? Or are you just unaware that your question is an open one; one that does not admit of a single answer that excludes the possibility of other plausible answers?
No idea. It isn't what we think it is...Can we ever fathom what love is?
their is no fact answer to your question
love is the happiness of today and promise of tomorrows
love is the feeling of true happiness
love is the language that two heart can express
love
L= lake of sorrow
O= ocean of joy
V= valley of death
E= end of life
When you 'feel' something, somebody as a part of you, you experience love.... unconditional, without any expectation... what a mother feels for her baby , at least for a few months..... the experience is still fresh, it was a part of her, in the womb... And human being can evolve(by choice) to experience this love Universally too...
Doing something so very painful and then forgetting all about it once its placed in your arm. Having children is the true meaning of love.
The true meaning of love cannot be described or explained.
Love is when you care so much for someone that you would do anything for them.
Love is painful.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love is the greatest treasure.
Love is when someone throws up on you and you stay up with them so they can throw up on you again.
Love is the greatest gift.
Love conquers all.
Love is what the Grinch learned that day when he was on his way home with the spoils and he heard love anyway.
Love is a beautiful and wonderful thing.
For God so loved the world that he gave His only son, that whoever believes in HIM shall have everlasting life.
The true meaning of love can only be felt with the heart.
It is too grand for words.
Peace.
true love is just when u can reach the extreme level of honesty
and frank with the other partner, it's when u got no limits for tellin her or him the smallest secrets of your life . and feel no shame for doing this.
it's also when u can feel about each other without begin together,, u just get worried right now about your partner! and u get to call her or him and u really find them in trouble or having bad times.. and vise-versa
and true love cannot be from one side .. it's gotta be giving and taking... not only one of them
and when someone can live only giving and not waiting to take back... this can be an angle :)

Is this friend jealous of me? If she is, then does that mean she's not a true friend?
I would have thought that a true friend would be happy for your achievements and will wish you well when you have success. Is this true? I have a friend (for 20 years now) who always seems to be irritated when I get a chance to travel or get asked out. The fact is, I work on a contract basis, very hard, save and take long breaks. She has another lifestyle, more pay but needs to be home 12 months of the year with short vacation breaks. She seems to try to 'pull me down' to her level by a 'silent' reaction when I told her I'm thinking of travelling again or by mentioning that she could not date the guy I'm with (as he earns less then me). Does this mean she is not a true friend?Is this friend jealous of me? If she is, then does that mean she's not a true friend?
She is certainly missing something in her life.. she wants to get out sometimes and travel. I don't know if she is in a relationship? if not.. or if she is not in a serious relationship maybe she hopes that when you are on vacation you would travel somewhere with her.. or that you go on holiday together.. even if both of you have partners.. she probably would like all of you to go to a holiday destination together...She seems envious.. that she can't go.. Jealousy would mean.. she wants your guy.. envy means to envy you your ability to travel so much in your job... Jealousy is always about wanting the same man.
I think in order to find out for sure what is going on in her thoughts, you as her friend of 20 years should sit down with her, and just bring up this subject and ask her.. I have a best friend.. we have been best friends for 38 years.. I have known her since I was 9 years old and I will be 47 this year.. she is 2 years younger.. she was 7 and I was 9 when we became friends.. after such a long time of friendship I believe one can be absolutely honest with each other... I tell nobody as much about me.. not even my parents or my husband as my best friend knows about me.. she knows me better than everyone.. she tells me sometimes if she believes I did not behave as I should have done.. but she is more than a best friend and more than a sister to me.. and if I feel upset by something she said.. I can talk to her openly about it as well... you should ask her. If she is your friend, she will be honest with you.. to respect each other and to be honest with each other.. is very important in a friendship.. as it also is in a relationship with a man or in a marriage!Is this friend jealous of me? If she is, then does that mean she's not a true friend?
She is not your true friend. But this does not mean that you shouldnt talk to her and try to get her to understand that its her choices that got her where she is at.
Your instincts are right, she's jealous and not a true friend.
She could be a crackhead.
Honey, the only real way that you are going to know this is by asking your friend. People forget to communicate and communication is the key to a healthy relationship. Try asking your friend how she is feeling about your succes, about you traveling and about the guy that you are dating.
Communication with a true friend should be easy and understandable and always sincere. Jealousy, greed and COMPETITION are the most hurtful in a relationship and you's want to eliminate these any chance that you get. You can do this by talking/communicating with your friends and acknowledging your feelings.
She is probably just hurting inside because she is not happy, don't take it to personally, she just needs some help is all. Be straight up with her and let her know your feelings, be careful with your wording though, you don't want to start a fight. Just let her know that you FEEL like she is acting in a jealous manner towards your succes and that you care about her and would not want her to be unhappy. Who knows, she might open up to you about things you did not even think were an issue, a lot of the time thats just it: there is an underlying issue that people don't talk about and they kind of beat around the bush. Just talk to her and remember that you are friends!
She lives a different lifestyle and could have resentment because you do what makes you happen. As they say we work to live we don't live to work. Taking those long breaks gives you time to relax and regenerate. You can work smart or dumb you my have a handle on it. You keep doing what you do and don't let anyone bring you down. My boy is also the traveling kind, He started reading when he was 5 and he not only dreamed but one summer when he was 16 came home with a plane ticket and said he wanted to travel during the summer. I had to think on this seeing how he was young and traveling alone, well it turned out I let him go praying I made the right choice, damn it was sink or swim. Turned out he handled it great hit something like 22 countries, shook hands with the Pope. He kept a journal of his travels if you care to see and you have an email I send the link. or email me, I hear all these kids moaning about being bored with nothing to do, well as you know it's all up to us what we do. He's now in second year at a University straight A's and in for a great journey. You don't change for anyone, you are right for you. I see you have a email look at the boy's journal he is 16 at the timefacial hair
She is certainly missing something in her life.. she wants to get out sometimes and travel. I don't know if she is in a relationship? if not.. or if she is not in a serious relationship maybe she hopes that when you are on vacation you would travel somewhere with her.. or that you go on holiday together.. even if both of you have partners.. she probably would like all of you to go to a holiday destination together...She seems envious.. that she can't go.. Jealousy would mean.. she wants your guy.. envy means to envy you your ability to travel so much in your job... Jealousy is always about wanting the same man.
I think in order to find out for sure what is going on in her thoughts, you as her friend of 20 years should sit down with her, and just bring up this subject and ask her.. I have a best friend.. we have been best friends for 38 years.. I have known her since I was 9 years old and I will be 47 this year.. she is 2 years younger.. she was 7 and I was 9 when we became friends.. after such a long time of friendship I believe one can be absolutely honest with each other... I tell nobody as much about me.. not even my parents or my husband as my best friend knows about me.. she knows me better than everyone.. she tells me sometimes if she believes I did not behave as I should have done.. but she is more than a best friend and more than a sister to me.. and if I feel upset by something she said.. I can talk to her openly about it as well... you should ask her. If she is your friend, she will be honest with you.. to respect each other and to be honest with each other.. is very important in a friendship.. as it also is in a relationship with a man or in a marriage!Is this friend jealous of me? If she is, then does that mean she's not a true friend?
She is not your true friend. But this does not mean that you shouldnt talk to her and try to get her to understand that its her choices that got her where she is at.
Your instincts are right, she's jealous and not a true friend.
She could be a crackhead.
Honey, the only real way that you are going to know this is by asking your friend. People forget to communicate and communication is the key to a healthy relationship. Try asking your friend how she is feeling about your succes, about you traveling and about the guy that you are dating.
Communication with a true friend should be easy and understandable and always sincere. Jealousy, greed and COMPETITION are the most hurtful in a relationship and you's want to eliminate these any chance that you get. You can do this by talking/communicating with your friends and acknowledging your feelings.
She is probably just hurting inside because she is not happy, don't take it to personally, she just needs some help is all. Be straight up with her and let her know your feelings, be careful with your wording though, you don't want to start a fight. Just let her know that you FEEL like she is acting in a jealous manner towards your succes and that you care about her and would not want her to be unhappy. Who knows, she might open up to you about things you did not even think were an issue, a lot of the time thats just it: there is an underlying issue that people don't talk about and they kind of beat around the bush. Just talk to her and remember that you are friends!
She lives a different lifestyle and could have resentment because you do what makes you happen. As they say we work to live we don't live to work. Taking those long breaks gives you time to relax and regenerate. You can work smart or dumb you my have a handle on it. You keep doing what you do and don't let anyone bring you down. My boy is also the traveling kind, He started reading when he was 5 and he not only dreamed but one summer when he was 16 came home with a plane ticket and said he wanted to travel during the summer. I had to think on this seeing how he was young and traveling alone, well it turned out I let him go praying I made the right choice, damn it was sink or swim. Turned out he handled it great hit something like 22 countries, shook hands with the Pope. He kept a journal of his travels if you care to see and you have an email I send the link. or email me, I hear all these kids moaning about being bored with nothing to do, well as you know it's all up to us what we do. He's now in second year at a University straight A's and in for a great journey. You don't change for anyone, you are right for you. I see you have a email look at the boy's journal he is 16 at the time
Do you think you can believe in Santa AND the TRUE meaning of Christmas?
If do why and If not why?Do you think you can believe in Santa AND the TRUE meaning of Christmas?
Yes...of course you can...if you remember...Santa Claus...comes from Saint Nicolas.....who was a very nice person...and a good hearted Christian. It was a time...when if a young lady didn't have a dowry...she wouldn't be able to get married. Saint Nicholas...knew of a family that had three daughters and they were very poor. So when he saw the oldest not getting married...he tried to give a enough money to the father of the young lady..so she could marry...but the father wouldn't take the money..because of pride. So..Saint Nicholas threw a bag of gold.....into their chimney...and they found the gold and used it to marry off the oldest girl..who was slated to be sold into slavery as her father was unable to feed her. Saint Nicholas gave a bag of gold in a similiar manner for the next young lady..who was of marriagable age. By the time the third young lady was ready to marry...the father was trying to find out who it was who gifted the gold...so he would sleep near the fireplace...and sure enough in the wee hours of the morning...he heard a thump..and found the gold...he immediately ran outside trying to catch the person who threw the bag of gold...and found that it was Saint Nicholas.!
It was a beautiful act of love...for the Saint...to make a way for the girls to have a good start in their married life.
So...by believing in Saint NIcholas...or Santa...you will be celebrating the true meaning of Christmas....because Santa's life was one that held to the true meaning of Christmas; loving sacrifice...and to be like Christ.
There are many many miracles associated with Saint Nicholas...both while he was alive..and even up to this day...there are miracles people attribute to Saint Nicholas.Do you think you can believe in Santa AND the TRUE meaning of Christmas?
I wouldn't tell my Children anything that Santa actually brings them Gifts. However, I would just have him as a movie Charector and a decoration.
I heard Stories that alot of Children grow up of stop believing in Santa and God together because Santa has some attributes to The Lord.
Even Tho the Saviour wasn't Born in December , I think it's a great idea of celebration of his Birth on the picked Holiday that the Government picked out for us.
If I were a Christian, I would not teach my children there was a Santa. So frankly I don't see the sense in that at all.
This is how Jesus himself felt. In prayer to his Father, he once said: “Your word is truth.” (John 17:17) He said that “true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him.”—John 4:23.
And what is the TRUE meaning of Christmas?
Surely it's not celebrating the birth of Jesus since he was not born in December. Most of what we celebrate as Christmas are based on Pagan traditions.
Sure...they're both just about as believable.
Of course! I do not think Jesus meant for us to live a joyless and grim life! I think he wanted us to celebrate it as a gift from his Father. Do not think he would be bothered by Santa, Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy! I love the pagan aspects of all holidays and I am Roman Catholic.
Jesus was not born on Christmas so I already do celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Santa is makebelieve much like everything else. I personally don't know how so many ';Christians'; can allow themselves and their children to believe in it, instead of following it's true meaning to them anyways.
Everything about Christmas is make-believe and based on lies, so adding Santa is not a big deal.
Christ was born in the fall during the Fall Festivals of the Bible, not in the winter during the pagan winter solstice festivals.
Answer the following:
How many wise men does the Bible say there are?
When does the Bible say the wise men came to visit Yeshua?
How is it possible that shepards were sleeping out at night in the dead of winter with their sheep?
Where did the wise men come from and how did it happen they knew to look for the birth of the Messiah at that specific time?
Where did the wise men go after they paid thier respects to the Christ child?
Answering these questions will get you started on learning the falsehood called ';Christmas';.

both are lies.....Santa doesn´t exist and Jesu birth was in October.
As long as I don't have to listen to that damn Charlie Brown,and his Jesus Christ!...
Santa is a marketing ploy, based on St. Nicholas.
I think it is okay to let children know that we are sort of playing a make believe game when we say there is a Santa Claus. It is still fun to play, even as an adult, when it is our turn to be Santa :)

I dont want to be mean or anything but is it true asian guys have small d*cks?
I think they doo, because they very short and sure, Penis just follow the height. but yes they do , not mean but reality.I dont want to be mean or anything but is it true asian guys have small d*cks?
ASO.I dont want to be mean or anything but is it true asian guys have small d*cks?
i not sure since I'm not Asian but i think its a stereotype
I don't know but some people have a small brain.
stereotype. i'm bigger than many of the white guys I have been with
It would make sense. From what I heard penis size is determined by your height. Shorter man shorter penis. Asians are short. Also if it is such a big rumor it must be true.
a lot of men do. if they know what to do with it whats the problem.
I don't think so for the reason that Asia is the largest continent, you cannot determine the averages by the size of Asia which includes the Middle East to SE Asia. Next reason is that many asian people are poor and undernourished, since most of them are undernourished, the averages of sizes are pulled down to 5.33in. Impossible for many asians to have this length. Nourished asians have 6-8in range, believe me. AND, height does not correspond to penis size, although at some rare times it does. Not all asians are short too.
no
Research has shown that they are least on the list.
yes, and asian women have sideways t*ats, too.
thats mean mr fried biscuits
I will tell you when I try enough of them for the sake of research... LOL

Is Amy Lee of Evanescence gothic??? like i mean are they bad to listen if your a true christian??
cause im just 13 and i started to listen her songs and i really like ';bring me to life'; and so im a christian and i dont know if i should be listening to those kind of songs. but shes a really good singerIs Amy Lee of Evanescence gothic??? like i mean are they bad to listen if your a true christian??
Evanescence somewhat started as a Christian band.
And Amy's voice is too beautiful to ignore just because of your beliefs. If you like it, appreciate it for the way it sounds. You don't have to approve of the lyrics to like the music. :)Is Amy Lee of Evanescence gothic??? like i mean are they bad to listen if your a true christian??
u know what, thank u for asking this question, i have the same problem too, cos amy lee really has an irresistible voice, but i'm kind of disappointed about some of their lyrics and their interviews. and i'm worried about subliminal messages in songs..
and also, fyrechick, thanks for your enlightening answer, it helped me.. =)
There is nothing wrong with listening to her music. Your not going to change your beliefs because of the music. As long as you don't change your Christian beliefs over something than you really don't have to worry.
My step father is a pastor, he has his doctorate in christian theology and doctrine. He also listens to secular (non christian) music.
There isn't anything wrong with it as long as you don't allow for it to influence your Christian beliefs. After all it was God who gave her such a good voice.
Amy Lee has recently stated they don't like being called a Christian band. Most Christian stores have pulled Evanescence CD's from their shelves at the band's and record label's request.
Their music is a bit dark at times, but some of it is positive. ';Bring Me To Life'; is a really good example of one of the more positive songs. It features Paul McCoy, the lead singer of 12 Stones, who are a wonderful Christian band.
You need to let the Holy Spirit guide you in deciding what you listen to or see on television. The Holy Spirit is basically the Christian's conscience and will convict and guide us individually on what is right and wrong for us. You'll just feel it in your heart or gut if it's wrong for you. That does not necessarily mean it is wrong for someone else.
sure! go ahead! i'm christian, and i listen to nonchristian songs. it's just that some songs are too obscure and weird.
no, her music is not gothic or devilish. if you feel like this music helps you in some way and you enjoy it, then go ahead. its not a bad influence
Hi there- Im glad that you are mature enough to think and ask questions like this. Really being a Christian means you are trying to be ';Christ like';. What you need to ask yourself is 1- Does listening to them change what you are trying to represent 2- Just because someone says they are Christian are they a good witness to that. Listening to them is a personal decsion but I did find some quotes from Amy Lee and crew a few years ago that at least say a little on their view of being consideerd a Christian bad. During a 2003 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ben Moody stated, ';We're actually high on the Christian charts, and I'm like, What the f--k are we even doing there?';[8] This went against earlier sentiments by Moody that ';We hope to express in our music that Christianity is not a rigid list of rules to follow...'; and also ';The message we as a band want to convey more than anything is simple鈥擥od is Love.';[9] This has led to criticism of the band within the Christian community, even moreso given that the band themselves approved of the plan to distribute Fallen to the Christian market.[10] Terry Hemmings, CEO of Christian music distributor Provident, expressed puzzlement at the band's about-face, saying ';They clearly understood the album would be sold in these [Christian music] channels.';[11] Ex-vocalist and keyboardist David Hodges eventually left the band over the controversy, with other members stating that he had been pulling them in more of a Christian direction than Lee and Moody were comfortable with.
I think you should check out the lyrics to her music. It sounds like she has a very good grip on the spiritual alement of life. I also beleive she hs a firm grasp on what god means to her.
If someone tells you not to listen ask why. Ask them to give you one solid reason why you should not hear someone else's point of view. I find most organized religion controlling in their do, do not do. Decide for your self. be all that you can be, the greatest challenge of them all.... yourself.
I am christian and I believe you can listen to any music that you believe is good for your spirit. I mean if Madonnas song jump motivates you to get up early in the morning and go for a jog than great,(works for me!). If Evanescence helps you to deal with an emotion that you know you are feeling but dont know how to express it then listen to it. I listen to music that does not offend anyone or god. Evanescence are a good band, some of their music is quite beautiful,(immortal me). Just because you love god does not mean that you should only listen to Hill Song. For example- you may be having a bad day and after praying still feel like you need a physical release- headbang to that song - you are not hurting anyone. As long as it is not offensive to anyone or to god, and it doesn't make you feel in any way unwholesome-(for lack of a better word), then it is a gift from god- as many things are.
i dont think amy lee calls herself gothic. but her band evanescense is labelled gothic rock or something like that.
Amy Lee isn't really gothic- maybe her style of clothing is but her style of singing isn't. She has a very light voice(some even say it opera or christian) with a 'rock' band to back it up. The contrast makes for some amazing music- and is appropriate for anyone.
Yeah she's an awesome singer, better than alot. ';gothic'; I think is a form of expression, of art. Its not BAD, and no her songs are not gothic. I think you'll be safe. If you enjoy her songs, you obviously have good taste.
Uhhh. Evanesance is a Christian band. So.. I think you don;t have a problem.
Also, not accepting people because they are gothic or dress differently is a distincly non-christian thing of you to do. Jesus told his followers they were not allowed to judge others. Only love.
HI Jordan,
First let me say it is great to hear that you are picky about what you listen to. That shows a great deal of maturity in your faith.
Phillipians 4 tells us what we should think on. I think that is a great way to measure what we should watch on TV and in movies, and listen to as far as music and comedy. If it is something that encourages your walk with Christ then great. If it is something that condemns Christ, his followers and his values it might be something to avoid.
the only bad songs to listen to are the ones that promote killing, random sex, homesexual sex, and things along those lines. i dont know any song by evanescence that falls into those categories. there is a difference between goth and satanic. they are alright to listen to
Evanescence is basically a Christian band. I couldn't see why you couldn't listen to it, it certainly doesn't go against your faith. It's only for commercial purposes that they don't mention Jesus in their songs. But you could easily imagine if they did, the songs always sound like they're missing that part if you listen closely.

Can anyone tell me the true meaning of yonder? how do i get to yonder and when I reach yonder what is there?
You never get to yonder. When you get to yonder yonder moves to over there.Can anyone tell me the true meaning of yonder? how do i get to yonder and when I reach yonder what is there?
YONDER IS DOWN YONDER.
LETS THINK ABOUT IT.
WHY WOULD SOME ONE SAY GO DOWN YONDER???
BECAUSE YOUR DUMB A S S SELF ASKED THEM WHERE SOMETHING WAS....... SO THEY TOLD YOU DOWN YONDER
SO NOW YOU GO DOWN YONDER AND FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.....
SINCE YOU PROVED YOU ARE A DUMB S H I T. AND YOU DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS AT YONDER, EVEN THOUGH YOU ASKED WHERE SOMETHING WAS......
THEN YOU SHOULD NOW REALIZE THAT WHEN YOU WENT TO FIND WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR,. AND YOU FOUND IT,,, THEN YOUR F U C K E D UP SELF WOULD BE DOWN YONDER............
GOT IT......................................Can anyone tell me the true meaning of yonder? how do i get to yonder and when I reach yonder what is there?
Yonder is over there. It can be in any general direction that ur not.
Probably Jeff Foxworthy would tell someone..';If you are tired,,, go over and yonder';.
Younder means you ain't here!
OK its like this if you live in the country like I do you would know what yonder means, it means there! Like go there-go yonder
Yonder is over there and we can't tell you what is over yonder because we can't see where you are pointing.
Yonder is a general term meaning ';off in that direction.'; You can't really arrive at yonder.
Get it, it's OUT yonder.
My dictionary lets me:
YONDER is being in that place or over there.....
Yonder means Over There, simply :-)
YONDER IS DOWN YONDER.
LETS THINK ABOUT IT.

Yonder is over there. It can be in any general direction that ur not.
Probably Jeff Foxworthy would tell someone..';If you are tired,,, go over and yonder';.
Younder means you ain't here!
OK its like this if you live in the country like I do you would know what yonder means, it means there! Like go there-go yonder
Yonder is over there and we can't tell you what is over yonder because we can't see where you are pointing.
Yonder is a general term meaning ';off in that direction.'; You can't really arrive at yonder.
Get it, it's OUT yonder.
My dictionary lets me:
YONDER is being in that place or over there.....
Yonder means Over There, simply :-)
How can i know if really love some one and if i just like him oor her only mean how can i know the true love?
There is no advice anyone can offer. If it feels right it probably is.
Don't burn your bridges! can you determine the true meaning?
is it possible for a person to build trust back,if so please suggest ideas? parents,siblings,plz advice our worlds youthDon't burn your bridges! can you determine the true meaning?
trust can be regained, but never to the same extent and it takes more work the second time. you will always remember that he did this once or the other way round.
once bitten twice shyDon't burn your bridges! can you determine the true meaning?
The people involved should al be willing to be patient and it needs commitment as well from everyone involved.
Trust is earned not built. The best way is to be open but you have to be honest while you are doing it! Think before you talk/act!facial hair

Why has everyone forgotten the true meaning of Christmas....?
I am so tired of the **** that comes with Christmas...I need to be down in the islands, sun soaked and intoxicated...everyone seems to have forgotten the meaning of Christmas around here..I just want to relax and not have to try and please all of the ungrateful people ALL of the time....ugh...CHRISTMAS IS NOT ABOUT THE GIFTS!!!Why has everyone forgotten the true meaning of Christmas....?
Two 'm-ism' words:
Multiculturalism and Materialism
We witness the purposeful dissolution of our traditions and culture.
We are too busy lusting after money and the 'inclusiveness' philosophy is a guaranteed paycheque.
There are powers within our civilization intent on destroying Christianity because they feel it is a 'patriarchal' system that threatens their individuality.Why has everyone forgotten the true meaning of Christmas....?
Not everyone has forgotten.
Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, God the Son.
The angel said to them,
';Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.';
And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying:
';Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.';
(Luke 2:10-14)
With love in Christ.
What is the true meaning of Christmas?
Some people just dont understand that, but hey everyone aint the same...Some are religous and some aint.
I couldn't have said it better myself my friend. When I turn on the radio all I hear is ';BUY BUY BUY..your friends/family/lover WILL LOVE YOU depending on how expensive your gift to them is!';. Honestly..a two dollor meal to a poor child will mean more to that child than a $200 gift may mean to a spoiled and materialistic teen. People forgot that its the essence of Christmas that makes it good. Its about showing people kindness, love and to understand them..thats what makes it so great. Like..there was a time when this girl opened a door for me and you could see it in her eyes and face that she really was showing kindness! I will *NEVER* forget that..and then (actually today) this girl gave me a chocolate lindtt or whatever. I could tell that she gave it to me out of love and kindness =) Thats what matters. Thats what matters people. My call is for everyone to not be materialistic because my philosophy is that even If I'm poor I can still be very loving and kind and care for others instead of myself. I know that I can be happier that that millionair. If you guys don't understand me than please see the movie: ';Schindler's list'; Please don't just read past this post and ignore it. Put some effort and watch the movie. You'll never forget it and I hope you can make someones life a little ';fuller'; this Christmas. Remember..some perfume or gift can't show any love. Only you can. See ya people!
But, but, the commercials all tell me I should be buying gifts!!
Sounds like you have to! Christmas is about being more kind and understanding. Relaxing and not dealing with people aren't in the cards really-but how you react to them is your issue. What do you see as the true meaning anyway-to me it is a time to do random acts of kindness and do extra specail things with your family. You celebrate the end of one year and the start of the next. Basically its all good. Maybe you should try to have more compassion for others and do some little ARKs of your own-give a toy to charity, offer to cover those extra few cents the next time someone in line ahead of you is searching frantically for a dime, hold the door for a parent pushing a stroller trying to get in the mall. If you want to see a change you have to be willing to be part of the change not just the one who points it out :-) Merry Merry...
What do you think is the true meaning of Christmas?
I believe it is the anniversary of our Savior's Birth!!! Plus it is a time for miracles, happiness, and fellowship. It is for small children to believe that this world is a good place after all. No it isn't about the gifts but it is about traditions with the ones we love. I love, love Christmas. I feel so close to my faith at this time of year and I also still have that same excitement seeing a Santa in a mall as I did as a child. Christmas means a lot of different things for different people. Merry Christmas to you!!!!

Is it true that 55% of meaning is conveyed with body language, 38% with tone, and 7% with words?
If so, then why is it so difficult to understand what someone who is speaking another language is saying? If not, then where did the saying come from?Is it true that 55% of meaning is conveyed with body language, 38% with tone, and 7% with words?
Anybody who tries to give you exact percentages for highly-variable phenomenon is most likely engaging in pseudoscience!
However, a big portion of communication - especially unfilterted/honest communication - is transmitted through body language; the facial muscles are different for a fake smile vs. real smile etc. This is not enough to overcome cultural barriers - although it helps in determining if someone from another culture is experiencing some type of emotions (angry/sad/happy etc). You need words for more precise communication (non-emotional).Is it true that 55% of meaning is conveyed with body language, 38% with tone, and 7% with words?
i don't know but did you know when you read something u only comprehend 50% of it you have to read it again to understand 10 more % and again to understand 10% until you finally can comprehend it 100%
I'd believe those stats are true.
Most people have a hard time understanding because they usually listen only to the words. However, there are some that watch tone and body language as well and are much more able to communicate.
i believe so. some one can be saying something innocent and say it with the wrong tone and/or body language and I'll get offended. as humans body lang. and tone are what we pay attention to.
That sounds about right. Actions speak louder than words - and attitude (which would include body-language and tone) speaks very loudly.
because people are to busy listening instead of watching and listening..
';False'; Come from. ';Mars';. Language got to be Martian
Sounds like somewhat reasonable statistics.
It's difficult to understand abstract concepts spoken in an unknown language like, ';What was in that dish I had for dinner?';
But it's simple to understand base concepts such as pointing to the plate, rubbing your stomach, smiling, and making pleasant and satisfied sounds, like sighing contentedly or saying ';Ah.'; The other person understands that you liked the meal, without the use of words.
i have heard that conversation is 70% non verbal

What is '; 'to thine own self be true'; meaning?
The true meaning is that one needs to be himself/herself through every day and every night and if one succeeds in doing so, then, it would be impossible to be anyone else but yourself. Knowing yourself is important, though personally I think it is impossible to understand every aspect of ones being entirely, it is still the first step to leading a truthful life. If one believes in the Holy Bible, they would know it states that, “Thou shalt not bear false witness,” meaning that one shouldn’t lie to themselves nor anyone else. It was stated back before time to be true to thyself and everyone else around you for fair justice amongst all. People tend to live life like theater, acting with masks that read other than what they truly are. So be true to yourself and to others, that way there is no confusion, no illusion.What is '; 'to thine own self be true'; meaning?
This above all; to thine own self be true and it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any men.
Farewell; my blessing season this in thee..
By William Shakespeare
A well loved quote for all seasons. 'Know Thyself'. By knowing oneself is a way of being true to own self too. As to being true to oneself gives way to be true to others.
Honesty to oneself is to be honest to others too.
This what it simply means. Thus its main grand message to value for everyone.What is '; 'to thine own self be true'; meaning?
This phrase is profound beyond words.
It is the muse of philosophy.
We are all inclined to BS, and we BS ourselves above all others.
';Know thy self';
This is truly what every philosopher has ever sought.
But it is human nature to deny that which we do not like.
Enter the curse of self deception.
People are more likely to deceive themselves than admit a fault, a lacking, a shortcoming, or a deficiency.
Wisdom is knowing first that there is a considerable amount that one simply can not know.
A persons path in life is filled with questions. Questions one asks to oneself. Some answer honestly[why did I do that? because I was afraid. Why am I afraid? and so on. Some answer dishonestly. The dishonest people live a lie. Their reality becomes all the dishonest answers to all those inner questions. Those who are honest with themselves see with more clear vision the world in which they travel.
';to thine own self be true'; ';be honest with yourself';
It's plain and simple with this question.
If you're not true to yourself you will never be true to others.
Basically speaking, if you don't like yourself and you make excuses for your actions then you will lie to others and blame them for your faults.
Unless we can be true to ourselves first, we cannot be true to others.
Dont be in denial, dont rationalize, know yourself truly and not just what you would like to believe about yourself.
be true to yourself
don't be a hypocrite
if it werent then we better just die.

Is this friend jealous of me? If she is, doesn't that mean she's not a true friend?
I would have thought that a true friend would be happy for your achievements and will wish you well when you have success. Is this true? I have a friend (for 20 years now) who always seems to be irritated when I get a chance to travel or get asked out. The fact is, I work on a contract basis, very hard, save and take long breaks. She has another lifestyle, more pay but needs to be home 12 months of the year with short vacation breaks. She seems to try to 'pull me down' to her level by a 'silent' reaction when I told her I'm thinking of travelling again or by mentioning that she could not date the guy I'm with (as he earns less then me). Does this mean she is not a true friend?Is this friend jealous of me? If she is, doesn't that mean she's not a true friend?
If you can deal with her negativity than its fine.
If not and you feel like she's dragging you down, tell her upfront and go from there. She sounds like she's envious of your life and thinks her life sucks, so try talking opening to her about it.
Either it'll all go wrong and you may have to cut her out as a friend or you can re-build the friendship.
Best of luck - it would be a shame to lose a friend of 20yrs.Is this friend jealous of me? If she is, doesn't that mean she's not a true friend?
Shes human and many people like pulling their freinds down to their level you may want to speak to her about it cause it could just be habbit or you could just be a tool to her.
but i just think she wishes she was in your shoes sometimes thats all.
she does sound jealous but after twenty years do u want to throw this away? i think u should sit her down explain exactly how she is making u feel and why she is making u feel like that, then see what her response is! am sure u will be able to clear it all up she must be good in some ways or u wouldnt have been friends for so long! good luck!facial hair

What is the ';true meaning'; of life?
There isn't a true meaning of life, any more than there is a true meaning of rocks, or a true meaning of gravity.
This is not the same thing as saying life is pointless or worthless. It's what you aim for that counts - as the saying goes, shoot for the moon, and even if you miss you reach the stars. You have to agree with yourself which aims make sense, where you want to go - nobody can do this for you, they won't be the right ones. For me, coming to terms with the fact I can't do everything was the first step towards realising I can do something.
May you work out what your own personal something is, and exceed it!What is the ';true meaning'; of life?
BEING LIVE FOR OTHERS WHO U LOVEWhat is the ';true meaning'; of life?
For different people, life is worth different things...for some, it means having a successful marriage, or having a healthy and happy family, or having successful children, or having a huge house with an expensive car or being on everyone's A-list or having a high-powered job...the list goes on and on. Each individual has to figure out what his/her purpose in life is and try to fulfill it.

HOW DID MY DREAM COME TRUe... LITERALLY AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
so last night i had this dream i saw this man with a blond sugar glider (and i never even heard of a blond sugar glider before)
so then today i went to a pet expo that i have been planning on going to for a while now to get a sugar glider for my other sugar glider so they could be friends
so i was at the pet expo and believe it or not, the first thing i saw there was a blond sugar glider for sale!! he was sooo cute and friendly, but i couldn't get him because he was to much money, so i got a regular type for my other regular sugar glider.
what the hell ,how weird is that!!!
what does that mean!!!HOW DID MY DREAM COME TRUe... LITERALLY AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Hi, thanks for answering my question.
So this happens to me once in awhile too, sometimes it will take months though, then I see the same things I just seen in my dreams.
Like daja who..lol
I even had a dream about the man that I was going to meet %26amp; fall in love with. And now we have been married for over eight years now. :)
By the way those animals are so cute! I want one, but are they good around cats and dogs?
Take care, and good dreams to you :)HOW DID MY DREAM COME TRUe... LITERALLY AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Is this a vivid dream of an event that you saw happen later? If so it's called de-javu, and that's where you feel like something has already happened or you see something that has already happened, like if you dreamed it. I have it happen to me a lot, about all different things, and the time just varies. Once, i had a dream about my english class and it happened in real life about three months later.
then that means you should have gotten the blond one.!
duhh.! it would have been worth it to get the expensive one you saw in your dream to try and see what your dream was trying to tell you.
maybe the blond one was really special or something..
and im a huge believer in listening to what your dreams are telling you, so you totally missed out on whatever surprise that pet had in store for you.
Yeah sometimes dreams do come literally true (about 20% by my reckoning).

If it's true a nation is only as strong as it's citizens, what does that mean....?
........for America, if our government succeeds at removing personal initiative and the will to thrive and prosper, and replaces it with a reliance on government control ?If it's true a nation is only as strong as it's citizens, what does that mean....?
A nation needs a populace full of self-reliance and fortitude and strong desire to keep the nation free so they can live those meaningful lives. If we are weak from within, as we now are becoming, it's over. We are like a shiny apple full of rot and worms, and we will no longer attract respect but only wasps.If it's true a nation is only as strong as it's citizens, what does that mean....?
The answer to this question is something I hope never materializes. It is scary to think of a government so in control that they can literally tell you how to live your life. Obama being elected has proved that government school (public schools) are accomplishing their agenda. Mass control of the populous to gain control of their lives by their own vote! The have brain washed our young for the last 30 years to obey the government. We need another revolution, not by war, by the vote.
As the old saying goes you are only as strong as your weakest link.Right now our citizens of the USA is being swept up in socialism whether they understand it or not.They wont realize the seriousness untill it is too late to do anything about it.
';The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism.But under the name ';liberalism'; ,they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program,until one day America will be a socialist nation,without knowing how it happened....The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.(Socialism)';

Easy then we as a nation become SLAVES, Property, Livestock and anything else if we allow government to set the parameters of what we can and cannot do in our personal lives; personal preference will not be tolerated, choice will not be tolerated, freedom will not be tolerated.
Freedom of Expression is no longer tolerated since the Political Correctness crapola...
I am sick of the attitude ';DO AS I SAY,NOT AS I DO!';
Means the people's will is what makes a nation. Look at the US during WWII, the people's will was stronger than was ever seen before.. they banded together and no matter what did what was best for everyone. And our nation thrived, it always does during a ';rally around the flag';.
When we forget that, when we go back to being comfortable, we lose that ';rally around the flag effect'; and stop caring about what is best for the whole. And our nation suffers for it. The only thing to wake us up from this is for a disaster (like 9/11 did) that forces us to realize we must join.
';Egoism, in a broader sense, has been... presented as the source of moral action. It has been said that we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, bind up the wounds of the man beaten by thieves, pour oil and wine into them, set him on our own beast and bring him to the inn, because we receive ourselves pleasure from these acts... These good acts give us pleasure, but how happens it that they give us pleasure? Because nature hath implanted in our breasts a love of others, a sense of duty to them, a moral instinct, in short, which prompts us irresistibly to feel and to succor their distresses... The Creator would indeed have been a bungling artist had he intended man for a social animal without planting in him social dispositions. It is true they are not planted in every man, because there is no rule without exceptions; but it is false reasoning which converts exceptions into the general rule.'; --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Law, 1814.
It means if government doesn't protect its citizens against corporate criminals, it will be as defenseless against fascism as they are. Of the people, by the people, for the people. Where does it say ';corporations';?
will that means we are a pretty weak nation considering we are either behind the remote watching the boo tube or playing games on the xbox or stimulating our groins on the internet at the porn sites. makes us a pretty weak sick nation
What does it mean when the low income population has little access to preventative health care? When their means of income has been outsourced to other countries?
It means we're in deep crap. God bless.
A nation needs a populace full of self-reliance and fortitude and strong desire to keep the nation free so they can live those meaningful lives. If we are weak from within, as we now are becoming, it's over. We are like a shiny apple full of rot and worms, and we will no longer attract respect but only wasps.If it's true a nation is only as strong as it's citizens, what does that mean....?
The answer to this question is something I hope never materializes. It is scary to think of a government so in control that they can literally tell you how to live your life. Obama being elected has proved that government school (public schools) are accomplishing their agenda. Mass control of the populous to gain control of their lives by their own vote! The have brain washed our young for the last 30 years to obey the government. We need another revolution, not by war, by the vote.
As the old saying goes you are only as strong as your weakest link.Right now our citizens of the USA is being swept up in socialism whether they understand it or not.They wont realize the seriousness untill it is too late to do anything about it.
';The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism.But under the name ';liberalism'; ,they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program,until one day America will be a socialist nation,without knowing how it happened....The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.(Socialism)';
