Open Question: Christians do you understand that through sin Our Lord is still being Crucified to this day?
I noticed that most don't take this fact into consideration, during our Lord's Passion, His Agony in the Garden of Gethsemani, He saw the sins of the world, till the end of time. That is to say the sins that we commit add more to Our Lord's Sufferings. Here is a revelation from Saint Birgitta: The Mother (Blessed Virgin Mary) said: "My Son had three good things. The first was that no one ever had so refined a body as he did, since he had two perfect natures, his divine one and his human one; and he was so fair that, just as no blemish can be found in the clearest of eyes, so not a single fault could be found in his body. The second good thing was that he never sinned. Other children sometimes bear the sins of their parents as well as their own. This child never sinned, but, nevertheless, bore the sins of everyone. The third good thing was that, while some people die for the sake of God and their greater reward, he died as much for the sake of his enemies as for the sake of me and his friends. When his enemies crucified him, they did four things to him. First, they crowned him with thorns; second, they nailed his hands and feet; third, they gave him gall to drink; fourth, they pierced his side. But my grievance is that his enemies who are now in the world crucify my Son more harshly than the Jews crucified him. Although you may say that he cannot suffer and die now, still they crucify him through their vices. A man might heap insult and injury on the image of an enemy of his, and, although the image does not feel the damage done to it, nevertheless, the perpetrator should be accused and sentenced on account of his malicious intention to injure. Likewise, the vices by which they crucify my Son in a spiritual sense are more abominable to him and more serious than the vices of those who crucified him in the body. But perhaps you ask: 'How do they crucify him?' Well, first they put him on the cross they have prepared for him. This is when they take no notice of the precepts of their Creator and Lord. Then they dishonor him when he warns them through his servants to serve him, and they despise this and do as they please. They crucify his right hand by mistaking justice for injustice, saying: 'Sin is not so grave and odious to God as it is said nor does God punish anyone forever, but his threats are only to scare us. Why would he redeem us if he wanted us to perish?' They do not consider that the least little sin a person delights in is enough to send him or her to eternal punishment. Since God does not let the least little sin go unpunished nor the least good go unrewarded, they will always have a punishment inasmuch as they have a constant intention of sinning, and my Son, who sees their heart, counts that as an act. For they would carry out their intention, if my Son permitted it. They crucify his left hand by turning virtue into vice. They want to continue sinning until the end, saying: 'If we say at the end, just once, "God, have mercy on me!" God's mercy is so great that he will pardon us.' This is not virtue, wanting to sin without making amends, wanting to get the prize without having to struggle for it, not unless there is some contrition in the heart, not unless a person really wants to mend his ways, if only he could do so were it not for illness or some other impediment. They crucify his feet by taking pleasure in sinning without once thinking of my Son's bitter punishment or without once thanking him from the bottom of their hearts and saying: 'God, how bitterly you suffered! Praise be to you for your death!' Such words never come from their lips. They crown him with a crown of derision by deriding his servants and think it meaningless to serve him. They give him gall to drink when they rejoice and exult in sin. The thought of how serious and many-layered sin is never strikes their mind. They pierce his side when they have the intention of persevering in sin. I tell you truly, and you can tell this to my friends, that in the sight of my Son such people are more unjust than those who sentenced him, worse enemies than those who crucified him, more shameless than those who sold him. A greater punishment is due to them than to the others. Pilate knew well indeed that my Son had not sinned and did not deserve death. However, because he feared the loss of temporal power and the sedition of the Jews, he reluctantly sentenced my Son to death. What would these people have to fear if they served him? Or what honor or privilege would they lose if they honored him? They will, accordingly, receive a heavier sentence, being worse than Pilate in my Son's sight. Pilate sentenced him due to fear, in accordance with the petition and intention of others. These people sentence him for their own advantage and without any fear, by dishonoring him through sin that they could abstain from, if they wanted. But they neither abstain from sin nor are they ashamed of their already committed sins, for they do n But they neither abstain from sin nor are they ashamed of their already committed sins, for they do not take into consideration their unworthiness of the kindness of the one whom they do not serve. They are worse than Judas, for Judas, after he had betrayed the Lord, recognized that he was God and that he himself had sinned gravely against him. He despaired, however, and hastened his days toward hell, thinking he was not worthy to live. These people recognize their sin and yet they persevere in it with no compunction about it in their hearts. Rather, they want to take the kingdom of heaven by a kind of violence and force, thinking they can get it not through their deeds but through a vain hope - vain because it will be given to none but the one who works for it and makes some sacrifice for God. They are worse than those who crucified him. When the latter saw the good works of my Son, such as raising the dead and making lepers clean, they thought to themselves: 'He works unheard of and extraordinary wonders, overcoming anyone at will with a word, knowing our thoughts, doing whatever he likes. If he gets his way, we will all have to submit to his power and become his subjects.' Therefore, instead of submitting to him, they crucified him out of envy. But if they had known that he was the King of glory, they would never have crucified him. These people, on the other hand, see his great works and miracles every day, they take advantage of his kindnesses. They hear about how they ought to serve him and come to him, but they think to themselves: 'It would be heavy and unbearable to give up all our temporal goods, to have to do his will and not our own.' Accordingly, they scorn his will, lest it be placed over their own will, and crucify my Son through their obstinacy, piling up sin upon sin against their conscience. They are worse than his crucifiers, inasmuch as the Jews acted out of envy and because they did not know him to be God. These, however, know him to be God and out of their own wickedness and presumption and greed, they crucify him in a spiritual sense more harshly than the others did in a physical sense, for these people have been redeemed, whereas those others had not yet been redeemed. And so, bride, obey and fear my Son, for, as merciful as he is, he is also just!" My question is simple do you understand that through sin Our Lord is still being Crucified to this day? That was the question. I had posted this beautiful Revelation of St. Bridget, for a reason. It is not meant as a guilt trip. It is sad how some of you so called Christians overlook this information. Most people don't even know this, yet blindly they add more sufferings to Our Lord's Passion. There are truly three groups of Christians out there, the first serve God with the intention of obtaining temporal goods and honor, but the things of heaven are as nothing to them. The Second are the ones who believe God to be almighty and a strict judge, but who serve Him out of fear of punishment. The Third group do not serve Our Lord out of any fear of punishment but out of divine love and charity. Those are the Christians who would take this question & revelation very seriously. Outside of that I had asked a simple question, you did not need to read the Revelation to answer it. (more...)

Resolved Question: If poodles are outlawed, only outlaws will have poodles. Isn't that the same logic as the NRA?
I hate the circular logic of, "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". Well duh. If something is outlawed, then those who have it are outside of the law. That doesn't necessarily make them bad people. The NRA and Cons keep telling us that more guns are the answer to gun violence. They say "guns don't kill people, people kill people". But the fact is that people with guns kill more people than they would if they didn't have guns, and had to use knives or baseball bats or lawnmowers. And that doesn't take into account the people who are killed accidentally; like the 4-year-old who finds his dad's gun and shoots his brother. As for cars, which do kill a lot of people, (I know this comparison is coming); the primary purpose of cars is transportation. Misused, a car can kill, yes. Likewise, accidents happen. But the primary purpose of a gun IS to end life. Let me add I respect the right to hunt for food. (I don't consider it a "sport", but whatever). Is it worth the risk of MORE people owning guns and MORE innocent people dying because of it? Why does the NRA believe that MORE guns are the answer to ending gun violence? cooljerk: No need to insult. Just answer the question. (more...)

Resolved Question: (also look in other entertainment) by hermjesty the queen?
To the Government of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.) Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas , which she does not fancy). Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: ----------------------- 1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary'). ------------------------ 2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.' ------------------- 3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. ----------------- 4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist,then you're not ready to shoot grouse. ---------------------- 5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. ---------------------- 6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. -------------------- 7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it. ------------------- 8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar. ------------------- 9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion. --------------------- 10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater. --------------------- 11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer.

Resolved Question: Correcting/repairing a credit report?
I have always had a pretty good credit score (high 600's to low 700's). the worst of my score has always been my high CC balances, but regardless, I do pay all bills on time. Recently, I pulled a report that showed my lowest score ever (625) but I realized it was due mainly to 2 errors...what are my chances of successfully fighting the following: -my auto company reported me 33 days past due when my lease expired due to my not making the balloon payment though they had extended my lease for 60 days so technically the balloon payment was not due (they confirmed that it was a mistake) -and OLD collection placed on my account for about $33 due to a bill that my health insurance was supposed to pay, but paid late and likewise, I ended up footing the reporting! I am guessing with both of these off my score would shoot back up about 100 pts., but I don't want to spin my wheels...I am looking to refi my current mortgage (which is why I am asking this question in the first place).

Resolved Question: PLEASE HELP, this is about EVOLUTION, can you please give comments about this?
GOT THIS FROM A FRIEND: Evolution from a common ancestor is the theory that supports the theory that simple biological systems can transform to complexity on the premise of adaptation, mutation and natural selection acting on population in a long geological time. The ?scientific? basis of old earth age is the famous carbon dating. While evolutionists are very much convinced of the technique and even exaggerate its potential, many are skeptics in using this for instances involving more than 3,000 or 4,000 of years. (I wouldn?t like to dwell much on this. http://www.icr.org/article/1182/) Compromisers to evolution likewise use carbon dating as their basis for an old earth and interpreting each of the creation days as equivalent to one thousand years (theorizing that a total of 7,000 years for God to create all things), using also the verse in 2 Pet 3:8. But this theory couldn?t account the billion of years needed by evolution. And there are proofs of a young earth. http://www.icr.org/article/1182/ But I would like to dwell more on the processes evolution would like to hold as its avenue for ?simplicity to complexity?, namely mutation, natural selection and adaptation. There are only two that could happen if a gene is mutated. Either it is expressed or not, dominant or recessive. If expressed, then there would be structural changes. On the other hand, if it is not expressed, then it remains in the gene. Simple. Now, if it is expressed, then adaptation of individual organism sets in. If the organism cannot survive then it is selected out (natural selection). Now take this, almost all observed mutation (expressed) have no chance of surviving in nature. The population carrying the mutated gene and expressing it is eventually deleted out by nature, almost no chance of reproducing at all. So how can evolution take place in this mutated population using the ?survival of the fittest? slogan? Another, natural selection is not ?creative?, i.e. it is not a process to produce new individuals since it allegedly ?deletes? unfit population. It is a conservative force eliminating the unfit. Another, mutational changes, that being ?random?, in an ordered system is a disordering or randomizing process and is thus degenerative, not progressive. Another, the probability of randomness creating complexity is implausible, according to mathematicians (who are evolutionists themselves). Dr. Murray Eden, a mathematician, stated that, "It is our contention that if ?random? is given a serious and crucial interpretation from a probabilistic point of view, the randomness postulate is highly implausible and that an adequate scientific theory of evolution must await the discovery of new natural laws?physical, physicochemical and biological" These are basic science principles but it seems none of them agrees with what evolution theory has been shouting for decades.

Resolved Question: What will you thank God for tomorrow?
The Story of Squanto Most of us know the story of the first Thanksgiving?at least, we know the Pilgrim version. But how many of us know the Indian viewpoint? No, I?m not talking about some revisionist, p.c. version of history. I?m talking about the amazing story of the way God used an Indian named Squanto as a special instrument of His providence. Historical accounts of Squanto?s life vary, but historians believe that around 1608?more than a decade before the Pilgrims landed in the New World?a group of English traders, led by a Captain Hunt, sailed to what is today Plymouth, Massachusetts. When the trusting Wampanoag Indians came out to trade, Hunt took them prisoner, transported them to Spain, and sold them into slavery. But God had an amazing plan for one of the captured Indians?a boy named Squanto. Squanto was bought by a well-meaning Spanish monk, who treated him well and taught him the Christian faith. Squanto eventually made his way to England and worked in the stable of a man named John Slaney. Slaney sympathized with Squanto?s desire to return home, and he promised to put the Indian on the first vessel bound for America. It wasn?t until 1619?ten years after Squanto was first kidnapped?that a ship was found. Finally, after a decade of exile and heartbreak, Squanto was on his way home. But when he arrived in Massachusetts, more heartbreak awaited him. An epidemic had wiped out Squanto?s entire village. We can only imagine what must have gone through Squanto?s mind. Why had God allowed him to return home, against all odds, only to find his loved ones dead? A year later, the answer came. A shipload of English families arrived and settled on the very land once occupied by Squanto?s people. Squanto went to meet them, greeting the startled Pilgrims in English. According to the diary of Pilgrim Governor William Bradford, Squanto ?became a special instrument sent of God for [our] good . . . He showed [us] how to plant [our] corn, where to take fish and to procure other commodities . . . and was also [our] pilot to bring [us] to unknown places for [our] profit, and never left [us] till he died.? When Squanto lay dying of a fever, Bradford wrote that their Indian friend ?desir[ed] the Governor to pray for him, that he might go to the Englishmen?s God in heaven.? Squanto bequeathed his possessions to his English friends ?as remembrances of his love.? Who but God could so miraculously weave together the lives of a lonely Indian and a struggling band of Englishmen? It?s hard not to make comparisons with the biblical story of Joseph, who was also sold into slavery?and whom God likewise used as a special instrument for good. Squanto?s life story is remarkable, and our children and grandchildren need to learn about this important part of America's Christian heritage. Tell them about Squanto, the ?miracle sent from God??who changed the course of American history. http://www.alliance4lifemin.org/articles.php?id=118 (more...)
