Do you eat in front of the TV?

Amstardam @Amstardam (1348) • United States 7 Jul 07

We don't have a kitchen table. We didn't have the room for one before but now that we do, we still haven't gotten around to getting one. It's sad because we usually end up turning on the TV when we sit down for dinner. We eat...

jen_jen Not very often. I grew up in a home where we almost always ate at the table so it's just a habit for me. My husband was exactly the opposite growing up and was on his own for 7 - 8 years before we got married (doing who knows what!). I'm a stay-at-home mom...

Did Christ rise from the dead?

AndriaToh @AndriaToh (1267) • Malaysia 8 Jun 07

Paul, the apostle, wrote to those in Corinth "If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is useless, and so is your faith". Paul rested his whole case on the bodily resurrection of Christ. Either he did or didn't rise...

jen_jen I agree that Christ did rise from the dead and might I add, through his own power. I would take that it was in bodily form since the two women went there and found the tomb empty. Also, when Thomas was in doubt, Jesus told him to reach out and touch his...

jen_jen I frequently use the site www.recipezaar.com, it's been great for us. And, it's free. You can look up recipes by ingredient or time to make or almost anything. I love it! One simple one I've come to love is called Lazy Day Lasagna.

Do you still switch on the car signals for changing lanes or turning left/right?

1qazxsw2 @1qazxsw2 (512) • Singapore 5 Jun 07

I used to be very diligent on this when I first started driving. I would get terribly annoyed when other drivers didn't signal at all..but now I am just like them...

jen_jen Just about the only time I don't use my turn signal is when I'm in a turn only lane. A lot of the time I'll put it on then too. My husband and I get aggravated with people who don't use them and jokingly say they must not come on whatever model their car is. I...

Is Christianity rational?

AndriaToh @AndriaToh (1267) • Malaysia 5 Jun 07

"We live in an increasingly sophisticated and educated world. It is no longer enough to know what we believe. It is essential to know why we believe it. Believing something doesn't make it true. This is as true of Christianity as...

3 responses

jen_jen It is VERY important to understand why we believe what we believe. First of all, if we don't understand it, how can we ever explain it to anyone else? Secondly, the Bible warns about blind faith. I see so many people who come to church and never even open...

Should a believer marry a non-believer?

cook4t7 @cook4t7 (202) • United States 4 Jun 07

Do you think a believer should marry a non-believer? would you? and do you have scripture to back up what you think?

what is right or just ok

jen_jen The Bible speaks strongly against this, the one that particularly comes to mind is that 'a believer should not be unequally yoked'. Sorry I don't have the b/ch/v memorized. From my own experience, it did not end well. I was married when I was 19 to a...

what will you choose... "a poor life with many friends" or "a rich life alone"?

ronreyes @ronreyes (4724) • Philippines 14 May 07

For me, I'll choose the rich life alone. It's not because of money but because I'm a loner and I really don't believe in bestfriends or true friends so I don't think I'll survive with the poor life with many friends. You...

jen_jen Personally, I couldn't be rich and alone. I hate being alone even though I know that God is always with me. Sometimes comfort comes from another person's smile or just a hug. I believe that God puts people in our lives for a reason though we may not always...

jen_jen though I agree completely that bad language is a no-no you should never say my child won't do that. I'm a minister's wife and I have a 10 yr old who just finished 4th grade. I know that my son has said stuff that he shouldn't have said because he's plainly...

what will you do if Jesus suddenly appeared in front of you?

ronreyes @ronreyes (4724) • Philippines 29 May 07

Of course I know we'll be shocked and surprised at first when we saw Him but the question is... "What will you do afterwards?" Will you scream and run for your life, will you just stare at Him until He disappear, will you cry,...

jen_jen I think I would fall down weeping and tell him 'Thank you for trading your life for mine, and my family's, and everyone else's.' I might ask why he waited so long to come back. It's hard to say. For those who aren't believers, I hope you change your heart...

jen_jen I'd guess an ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor. Okay, I worked in the medical field for awhile but home health. Oto is the prefix for ear, rhino for nose, laryn for throat I think. :-)

kelly60 @kelly60 (4546) • United States 25 May 07
