As much as I disliked the PRican comment, I'll take it! It's a big one to swallow, but it's true about Spanish speaking people. It's not because the PRicans are a US territory that they think they don't have to speak English, it's really all Spanish speaking people that know no English!
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
- Epicurus
PRAISE THE LORD!!!
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9
WE MUST ALWAYS CALL HIM GOD!!!
(I prefer the King James Version but for this I used the NKJ version.)

He has given you the authority as a believer to prevent evil. If you don't confess the word of God or pray, his hands are tied. He has given you the authority with your mouth to confess his word or either pray it. If you don't, it is on you. As the word says, "People perish for a lack of knowledge." God is able to prevent evil if you give him something to work with through prayer or confession of his word. Psalms 91 is a scripture for protection. It says you make God your refuge (protection) by saying "He is my refuge and my shield in him who I will trust. Ten thousands might fall on your right side and on your left but evil will not come near you. He will give his angels charge over you and they will lift you up and you will not cast your foot against a stone. (Psalms 91)" So you need to confess this scripture of Psalms 91 out loud over your family and yourself. It is important that you speak the word out loud because angels harken to the voice of the word. If they don't hear it coming out of your mouth how can they perform? So confess the word daily, it is vital.
Why is it that in a Black neighborhood the new stores seem to take months before their grand opening and in the White/Jewish/Hispanic, etc. areas they don't waste time? In a mere two to three weeks, business is booming.
There is a Starbucks by my sister's house (Black area) that has had a 'Coming Soon' sign forever. It has been literally three months since that sign was posted. My house (white area), on the other hand, had a just-built strip mall and it was up and running in less than three weeks.
What's up with that?!
Black people are voting for Obama just because he's Black?
"Let's vote for Obama because he could be the first Black President, since Colin Powell was so qualified in becoming President and didn't want it."
There's something about Obama that doesn't sit well with me. Sorry!
PRAISE THE LORD!!!
Out of all of the replies in this thred, this seems to be the only one that I agree with 100%.
That didn't sit well with some of the conservatives I was talking to at the time lol. I support Obama as well, hes amazing . I love what he stands for. It goes so far beyond color.
Another thing i've said is I wouldn't want to worship through some fat bald dude (this was when I was ignorant about Buddhism lol).
I completely agree. I will never vote for someone because they are black (or half black). I have to know where he stands on different issues.
Plus, I'm leading more towards Hilary. Bill's her husband, so he'll will have an influence on her. He was the best president ofmy time, although I've only had two (Clinton and Bush)
. I love what he stands for. It goes so far beyond color.
