Isn't what chruches $ell: sacrifice instead of mercy, getting "old" and "ready to vanish"?

I think I get what you're asking.  In the Old Testament, under the law of Moses, the Jewish people would have to make sacrifices (such as animals or grain, depending on the ceremony) to "make up" for their sins.  God Himself commanded that system of sacrifice only as a temporary, imperfect system.  An important verse to consider is Psalm 40:6, where it says "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire."  That verse and the context surrounding it shows us that what God really wanted was not a tally of how many rams or bulls got slaughtered, but the right heart of the people.\n\nThe OT system of sacrifice was not just abolished but fulfilled by Christ's death and resurrection.  The old way taught that people needed a sacrifice to have their sins forgiven by God.  Through His death, Christ provided the one and only sacrifice that will ever be needed again.\n\nWe could never sacrifice enough ourselves to get right with God, whether that be through any kind of "good works" or "penance" as some teach.  The Bible actually says we CANNOT rely on our own works, how much we can sacrifice, but instead we are to rely on God's mercy and grace.  Any teaching that isn't centered God's grace and Christ's victory is indeed "ready to vanish" and should be thrown out as unbiblical.

An old woman died. She left a very specific will that says she wanted all her pallbearers( the one who will carry her coffin)  to be all  women. \nWhy?? She said because if no man want to take her out when she was alive why would they carry her when she is already dead. ha!!\nha!! LOL!!!

Why not? You never know what tomorrow will hold and why cheat yourself? Besides, God says not to. And, if you don't believe in God, maybe you should seek Him and ask Him about it first. I mean, how can you just quit life? Seems to me like there would be some real punishment for not finishing the game...

I don't think you can find it yet because it was just recently released.  The first place it will come out is Natachaatlas.net.  Unless you know somebody who is from there who can interpret it for you.

As far as I know, it was canceled a while ago. That doesn't mean it's not worth buying. Just because the show isn't going to get finished, doesn't make the old episodes bad.

Interesting scripure. But I'm also interested in this: the term 'last days' has been mentioned, and keeping in mind two things: the lord's overwhelming power to stretch and shrink time, combined with the fact that the last 2000 years there have been scoffers like mentioned above, when exactly will these 'days' end? This could take thousands of years, or be in a minute. But in that very minute a 'scoffer' *could* convert to the true faith, so if the lord is truly patient, he'd wait that minute too, or those thousands years, else it wouldn't be fair, I'd say.\n\nAnd tell me this: I am no scoffer, but in your eyes I'd probably be. But which of my desires are actually evil? My strongest desires are that people all over the world be stopped by blind judging other people, that people actually think before they act, that they take other people in mind when they take decisions that might effect them, in short that they respect other people and let them be. Another desire of mine is that helping people develop themselves, seek out their potentials, and enhance them, that they enjoy living in this beautiful world, and teach other people to enjoy too.\n\nBut since I don't need Jesus to actually do this, I am truly an ungodly man and I shall be destroyed by your lord.\n\nIf I'm to be judged by someone who doesn't look at my actions or my desires behind them, but at my lack of faith, and still wants to destroy me, please, let him do his thing, for I have nothing to be ashamed of and I rather live in hell knowing I have done right, than living in heaven for being a hypocrite.

Well, I see it like this: God's will was already established both the good and the bad. But we are floating around with a choice to become either Judas Iscariot or Peter. Both were choosen to be Apostles, both sinned against God, however, only one of them chose to repent with godly sorrow and not just because he got caught like Judas did. People always say, was Judas predestined to go to hell? No, I don't think so, I believe God's will is predestined not the people that will choose themselves what part they want to play. So, predestination for those who don't want to receive Jesus because they think it will just fall on them are wrong. Proof of what I just said can be found in Deut 28, where he set before us both blessings and cursings, see the plan is set, but what part of the plan you'll be in is entirely up to you,thus, your freedom to choose! God bless you girl!

*Shaking my shaggy skull* While I believe that bounties to kill, killing, violence of any kind is wrong, seems a lot of people either forget or just dun understand some basics...\n\nTop of the list, that cartoon to a Moslim is highly highly insulting thing and basically is like 2 "You shall have no other gods besides Me...Do not make a sculpted image or any likeness of what is in the heavens above..."\n\nI mean how would a christian feel if a cartoon was made showing say jesus performing homosexual acts? They wouldn't like it, not one little bit and would be screaming bloody murder...\n\nNext, frankly the Middle East has gotten the short end of the stick from the western society for a loooooooooong time. Now the top superpowers are invading them one country at a time. They are fed up and I dun really blame them for it.\n\nLastly the cartoonist should have known better, so should have the papers that printed them. When the Moslims said "Hey, we don't like that!" an apology should have been made right then and there. But instead all they got was arrogance.\n\nNow before anyone says "But we have freedom of speech and creativity." Do we really? I certainly couldn't put the before mentioned cartoon of jesus in a national/continental newspaper. It would have been nixed purely because it would upset people.\n\nSo before calling them insane, imagine how you would feel if the roles were reversed and it was your savior that was shown in a nasty light...

A curious observation on the change in language.  Something I have often considered as the Fed-Ex-ing of the language. \n\nI do agree with some of the answers to date that no one demographic owns the idiom; however, I do believe it the responsibility of each age group to morph itself... as you become less morph-able you become stodgy -- so morph or die.  \n\nAs a member of the older part of the bell curve I feel it my duty to find my version of LOL that fits for me...  so I have adopted the succinct "PML" or "Peed myself laughing".  I have seen others use "LMAO" or the more emphatic "LMFAO" which of course is always over emphasized in capitals.  I'm sure there are more versions and I challenge the wordsmiths to get creative.

Yeah, I am mortally tired of the nonsense, like all those who were just so convinced the universe was going to implode at midnight on December 31st, 2000 (as if that was even the millennium!).\nSome even go on to say that the "magic moment is six seconds past 6:06 a.m. on 6/6/2006 ... dude all them SIXES have just GOT to mean SOMETHING! Harumph.\nShoot, if they are that sure God is into numerology, why wouldn't they understand that the Old Immortal would logically wait until 6/6/6666, or 6/6/66666? Why would the Deity muck up His fascination with six-ism with that darned "2-0-0"?\nI always like that old joke:\nA man says to God, "What's a million years to you?" and God says, "A second." \nSo the man says to God, "What's a million dollars to you?"\nAnd God says, "A penny."\nSo the man says to God, "Would you give me a penny?"\nAnd God, He replied, "Yes I will ... in a second."\n\nSmile, it's only a week or so and it'll all be over, one way or the other.

Hebrews 8:13 In speaking of an old covenant which is to vanish, that is the covenat he had mad with the israelites,he now makes a new covenant, the first one is now obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.\n\n1Corinthians 13:8 looked forward to the perfect word of God, after which time prophecies, tongues, and words of nowledge would pass away.

That's cute! You reminded me that my mom used to call it that. Now I am going thru my own and my mother has been gone for 14 years, it is good to be reminded of her cute and funny ways.\n\nThanks for a fun question. Oh, and in answer to it==> just avoid your friend's mom during her pause times and wait til she's on "play" again ;-)

They have both shamelessly killed millions. Obviously not paying attention to Gods words at all. I use to joke around and say "kill them all and let God sort them out". Not so funny any more.
