Caste

Yes, thank you very much!

Hello, can anybody, please, help me? I'm translating this video but I fail to understand from 5:10 to 5:13. http://www.movingworks.org/films/josiah/

That's all well and good -- but it needs to be done without getting fired first. They tried the no water thing here also -- which is illegal in my state since we're mostly desert. They dropped the issue like a hot potato when that little fact was mentioned. The situation is hard to describe and has more to do with psychological type abuse than the more obvious kind. These folks are very careful to avoid the lawyers. I'm looking for something else in the mean time but not having much in the way of results. Yes that can be a real problem, on the part of you contract you're sure that you have nothing that can keep you in place? If, as you said it's more a psychological abuse I think that you workers might be protected by this kind of things. Besides, I'm sorry that I don't know well the laws of your country. A good start is praying for another work for you, wich I'll surely do. Practically speaking, I hope you can find some good choice.

I put it back in It's place. Years ago where I work people never drunk (water) or ate because they were told it cannot be done. A colleague with kidneys problem had to present a medical certification to keep a bottle of water with her. At first I didn't say anything about it. When even I begun to have to dring regularly, I simply kept a bottle with me, without saying anything. When people asked: "You keep a bottle? They don't say nothing to you?" I simply answered: "And who could say to me something like You can't drink? With all the complaint I could file against everyone or the company itself I'm pretty sure they know It's better to don't say nothing" Now everyone keeps a bottle. The point is that nobody can deny your rights. So, my advice is this: if you want to find work elsewhere do it, but at first teach wisdom to your co-workers. That's what Solomon teaches in Ec 10:4

Oh well; you're still ahead of some people I know. How come you can use the emoticons? So, as a non american I'm better than some americans? I don't know if I may be reassured or worried! P.S. the emoticons are in the bottom box of reply: you can see font size, and the A for text (wichs I used.... I HATE yellow!!!) if you click on the smiley It shows emoticons!

Really Amazing! With a capital A!

Hey I got 18/30 , but what was I expecting?

For years christians in my country praied for an awakening. There are often times, little glimpse of understanding, that lead me to think that His time is coming. Sometimes It seems lik He's reuniting His army. I'm concerned by the fact that I have difficulty to pray enough to obtain a greater knowledge on this topic.

There have been another little quake just an hour ago... Many people slept in the streets the last nights

If We let God work in us, EVERY moment of our lives can give us a deeper realization of our relationship with Him. However, It is true that we live a life that give us no time; one of the more difficult things to remember is to take our time with God, and It is right, to understand the seasons we're in. Thank you for sharing those beautiful thoughts. I pray that every question you'll pass through will make you stronger in the ways of Jesus.

God would do, I believe... As for the sneezing it comes right from ancient Greece. It was believed that when you sneeze soul can escape from the body. In fact you anglosaxon say God bless you that is an extension of "bless You"l. In Italy we say "Salute" that translates as "Health" and was the original meaning. But if I had a lightsaber I'd say "May the Lord be with you"

I believe that the greatests problems are three 1. where we are: normally, if we speak about Jesus with someone we met, we're standing before him, listening to the words and answering. In this way is easy to understand what a person thinks, we can hear her tone, see her expressions and so on. In a forum It's another thing. I find that the most difficult thing is remember that I am arguing with a real person, not with a string of words. 2. Remembering to love the debater more than the debate. We're, as was said, planting a seed. Planting a seed is a difficult thing, you have to be very careful, when you excavate and whe you bury the seed, otherwise it will be lost even before it can grows. To make it grow is God's work, but It will be easier if we plant it kindly and well! 3. Sometimes we see something we think is wrong and we immediately strike: "No, how can You say that, It's obvious that the comma was BEFORE "Peor" and not AFTER! This will totally change you understanding of the successive three words of this versicle!" Maybe It's true, maybe not, some things are better argued only between christians that even with nonbelievers. 4We really, really, must remember to pray! Anytime, we read, anytime we thing and anytime we write!

It was well after I accepted Christ that I even know of any gifts. This is not something that I "practiced", but was the Holy Spirit speaking through me. At first, I was hesitant to allow Him to do so, but then it became a blessing and a natural experience to pray in tongues. I knew in my heart that this was right. A mirror image of how I came to speak in tongues Alan And I can say the same thing!

ehehe I really appreciated all your jokes, I've not the capability to do the same in a foreign language, but It's similar to what I do in my country's language (I have to admit that I've had to read twice the part about Babel to get it! ) My problem with logic is that many times I find It's misused, because, as you said, the LOGOS (even its concept) is easily misunderstood. what i think is that, many times, God is treated as something that must be proved by reasoning and the use of logic rules. The problem I see in this is that *if* we really want to speak about God with logic terminology, we cannot consider it as something to be proved because, to be proved are Theories. To me God is beyond logic (again, I'm speaking about logic as the set of reasoning rules) or, at least, He can be no other than the starting point. To make it clear let me make an example: in Euclidean geometry you have 5 axioms (self-evident truths) to start with, then you can derive the rules and theorems by them. I believe that the problem with trying to prove God is that, in this kind of language, He is the Axiom, and you cannot prove an axiom. Just to be more clear, I think that God is a self-evident truth, and I'm pretty sure that anyone here agrees with me. What I'm questioning is if it's convenient trying to prove Him.

It is true that respect must be earned, but education is important. I think It's a matter of perspective: if one thinks that bowing to a queen\king or another nobiliar figure is a matter of good manners, He's right in doing it. But if this seems idolatrous for another one, than It is right to not bow. Maybe It's because I'm not American nor British, but I find a strange idea to not bow because I'm not subject to the Queen, it's just like not shaking hands with someone because I'm not used to it.
