Straight north of Texas in the same time-zone is the Provence of Manitoba.

Manitoba's capital is Winnipeg and I'm in a little town southeast of it by about 50 miles, called LaBroquerie.

Hey Moe, You should bring Your telescope to LaBroquerie.

if you plan to get married, under whose beliefs?
if you plan to have kids, what will you teach them about faith?

if you're non Christian but have addifferent religion and the other person is Christian, what principles will guide your household?



What if other said religion is fundamentally got the same principles as said Christian ?

This isn't impossible, but there're other doctrinal concepts that might not be compatible.

why fancy covering and makeup?



Sorry Annamariiie...

In this case, Cowboy GH and myself were discussing a head-covering that would be something 'other' than vainglorious.

Merely, one subject among many.

What shall we pick-n-chose among Your loving words about what is needed for salvation... ?

Long enough to get tangled in the bough of a tree as he rode by it and hung himself ?

An Angel can do nothing of it's own accord.

If an Angel is obliged to protect or enlighten it is only by God's leave.

****************************

Eventually, we must all die for example and we can not oblige an Angel to prevent that from happening.

I've often thought about this subject.

My conclusion is either Jesus died on a Thursday and his Spirit was re-instated back into his body on 'the old first-day of the week,' Sunday... Or, he died Friday and his Soul was returned to his body on Monday, 'the new first-day of the week.'

******************************************

In keeping with the prophesy of Jonah who was in the belly of the Whale for three days and three nights, so to would Jesus be in the belly of the Earth.

This in keeping with his own admittance.

I've tried to read it many times over the years but now it's really starting to try my patience. What's all this seven candles sticks and seven stars stuff? He goes on to explain the candle sticks represent churches and the stars angels. Well that helps!



Yes, the seven lamps and stars were symbolic of the seven principal congregations... Which now beckons the question, "How many original Christians were there ever... ? And, what was to take their place ?" spock

Genie or Jini is the singular for this type of spirit.

The plural is Jinn.

******************************

The Jinn are a cast of Angelic Creatures that are said to derived from a scorching fire like that of a forge.

Satin the Devil is also called Iblis in the Quran and he is a Jini.

****************************

The King of Tyre is likened to what may very well might be a description of Satin in the scroll of Ezekiel.

(Ezekiel 28: 13-15)

How much do You remember of being extracted from the wreckage ?

Did You just pass-out or was anything given to You to sedate the pain ?

[ Other Half Of lu_roemary's Question ]


To me death is inevitable. To so many of us as well. I know I will die some day. We all die eventually.

No one gets alive from this one. That's for sure. As Benjamin Franklin once said..." There were only two things for certain in life: Death and Taxes.
-------------------
But there's more to it,
More about acceptance.
How do you accept death?





I think, for some people including myself, that the actual events immediately leading-up to death are viewed with the same measure of dread as when you're sick.

Everybody knows what it's like to be having a cold or with a flu.

You dread it while you're actually having the illness, but with the assumption you're going to get better.

This offers little comfort while you're sick though.

Everybody hates the symptoms they're enduring for the present while sick.

The belief in an Afterlife somehow seems a more tolerable idea.

As for how One deals with the actual events just previous to actually breathing your last... I'm assuming are only compounded with the prospect of no-hope.

On-the-other-hand, somebody who's conscience is so filled with guilt might not be looking forward to anything, but oblivion.

what I'm not certain I know what I'm looking at.

It appears to be a Zebra with a mandala design on it.

I think I'm missing something.
