Two of them wanted to come back some time after they broke up with me. I would have taken them back if I was not already in a new relationship. I see forgiveness as important as none of us are perfect and even if I am mad with them because they left me.
I don't consider smokers no matter how pretty they are. The second biggest is obesity. Oh, and I dislike bold women and distasteful large tattoos and piercing. I don't mind a small art sort of tattoo and earrings.
If that is what you want, here is a legit site, they check out the girls if they are genuine. I know because my ex worked for them.
-- These ladies are nice, but they are high maintenance. You must have plenty of money and be very generous, else your life will be hell. They suit someone on high income. They come out and marry you, but they expect a lot.
And you will pay all the bills, including theirs, and if they earn any money that will be their own spending money.
I had a mate who had been going out for six months with a lady and didn't even hold hands. He was worried that the lady felt he was not interested, but had no idea what to do. So I said, you grab her hand and from her reaction you will know if your approach is welcome.
After the weekend he came to work all happy-clappy. It worked.
What are your experiences? How long do you go out before holding hands, hugging and kissing?
Do you realise that due to the laws if you live with someone for a few years he can sue you for what you brought into the relationship? I think these laws should be modified, so whatever people bring into a relationship can also take out. It is totally unfair that someone after a few years living with you can have a big slice. I heard quite a few stories.
I think last year or before a new law came in that gave rights for mistresses also, so they could demand financial support from blokes. This should work both ways. So people, I think we all better off staying alone :-)
Sis you know that it should be translated as "it", not "he"? "It was in the beginning with God", because the Greek "logos" is neuter. Masculine nouns attract masculine pronouns, neuter nouns attract neuter pronouns. The word gender has nothing to do with the gender of the thing it refers to, for things are things, not persons even if in the Greek they are referred to as "he" or "she".
John simply recalls the ancient Jewish belief that God in the beginning created the Torah, and afterwards created everything else by consulting the Torah. The imagery is that of the master architect who first draws up the plan, then consulting the plan he builds the house.
The term "logos" in the Greek is "wisdom" which was equated with the Torah hundreds of years before John wrote these verses.
Looks like most people are not even trying. Do they expect success? How long have they lived alone? The longer you are alone the harder it will be to live with someone.
I am not ready for another relationship right now, so not really trying.
This incorrect idea was developed by later Greek Christians and was very strongly protested by some other groups, like the Ebionites. The Old Latin and Old Syriac translations actually read that Joseph was his father.
To make it plain, in ancient Jewish reckoning tribal inheritance was passed down through the father's blood line while Jewishness (which is the religion) was inherited through the mother as it was the mother who was responsible to bring up the child in a Jewish way.
Therefore, the child of a Gentile man and Jewish woman had no tribal membership, though he could have been trained up in the Jewish religion by the Jewish mother. On the other hand, the child of a Jewish father and a Gentile mother had tribal membership by birth right, but he was not considered Jewish (a member of the covenant people of God) until he grew up and converted to the Jewish religion.
For this reason, a virgin-born Jesus does not belong to the tribe of Judah and does not qualify for the throne of David - he does not qualify to be the Messiah.
We do not know Mary's lineage, the only thing we know about her is that she and Elizabeth were cousins and Elizabeth was the daughter of Aaron - thus, Mary might have been a Levite.
I hope I answered your objections. The only way Jesus qualified for his titles is if he was Joseph's son.
Did you know that most Greek mythological heroes had virgin births? It was also believed that Plato was born from his virgin mother and was visited by wise men from the East - though at his death:
"It is said, even when he was still alive, that Plato was of divine birth. The story, no doubt developed much after Plato's death, goes that the figure of god Apollo came to Plato's virgin mother, Perictione, and impregnated her. When his father, Ariston, attempted to lie with her, the god appeared to him in a vision, commanding him to abstain from her for ten months until the child was born."
Sounds familiar?
Ten months... Hmm... he must have been an exceptional person.
The Father alone is God. There are no other gods. Yeshua was a righteous man chosen, anointed and empowered by God. "Messiah" or "Christ" simply means "anointed", and the anointing occurred at his baptism. The Jews referred to him as the prophet (see the story about the road to Emmaus), son of David (meaning he had the right to the throne of David), son of God (another reference to a prophecy regarding David's descendant - "he shall be my son and I shall be his Father") or son of man (pointing to the prophecy of Daniel), but never as "the God" (Almighty). Once he was called "god" by Thomas, the meaning is simply "power" if the term stands without the definite article and was applied to various human beings, such as Moses, Israel's judges, etc.
The Greek Christians who did not understand Hebrew thought developed the idea of the virgin birth and the trinity centuries after the event.
Neither of them. This is a very late idea. The term "god" simply means "power". Moses was called "god" ("I will make you god to Pharaoh"), angels, Israel's judges, etc. The term is not specifically used of the Almighty. If it stands with the definite article, "the God", then the reference is to Him.
The idea that Jesus was deity came about after the virginal conception idea became popular, in the late second century. It was defined and made compulsory in the Nicaean creeds.
