  • I'm praying for an answer about my email?

    I know I’m in the wrong category. I posted this question at 3 subcategories under computers and got zero answers. In fact, every other question posted over there got zero answers. Everybody, but everybody is here at religion & spirituality.

    Can someone help with emailing photos via Outlook Express?

    When I attach photos to an email, the receiver also gets the full picture in the body of the email. How can I prevent this. It is my intention to send the photos only as attachments. I use Outlook Express. I've tried all the obvious moves, like unchecking "attach picture" to no avail.

    I’m willing to make the picture referred to a religious and/or spiritual one, if it keeps people from being mad that I posted in this section.

    Peace everybody,

  • What do you think of the Pope reinstating a bishop who is a Holocaust denier?

    Pope Benedict is considering reinstating the British bishop, Richard Williamson, who said:

    "I believe there were no gas chambers ... I think that 200,000 to 300,000 Jews perished in Nazi concentration camps but none of them by gas chambers."

    "There was not one Jew killed by the gas chambers. It was all lies, lies, lies!"

    I think Christians need to be understanding the enormous role the church has played in the persecution of the Jews for 2,000 years, not elevate those who deny it.

    The word persecution is a bit of a euphemism. It's been outright attempted annihilation and murder and, yes, the church (both Catholic and Protestant) have been complicit in it.

  • Should there be repercussions for pastors who use the pulpit to tell their congregations how to vote?

    The Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative group based in Arizona, has called for "Pulpit Freedom Sunday." during sermons this Sunday, pastors will tell their congregations whom they should vote for.

    To put myself on record, I think the churches accepted the rules, when they accepted the tax-free status. If they break the rules, they should lose their status.

    What do others think? Should there be repercussions or should the IRS turn a blind eye?

  • Do you think the Israeli government should have made the prisoner swap?

    The Israeli families of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev were hoping to get their sons back, but certainly must have been pessimistic about them being alive. Sure enough, when the time for the prisoner swap happened, Israel, which is constantly under fire for being too violent, returned the convicted murderer Samir Kuntar alive. But Hizbullah returned two coffins with the mutilated bodies of their prisoners of war.

  • Does anybody actually read Muslim answers?

    I've noticed that it often happens that immediately after a Muslim posts an answer, they receive a ton of thumbs down. Some of their answers are quite long (which annoys me, personally no matter who it is), so I think it's doubtful that people have been reading them.

    Don't we owe anyone who is not being rude or offensive a read? Or if you're not going to read it, why not just skip it without voting? Don't Muslims have as much right to discuss religion at this forum as everyone else?

  • For Jews: Are these versions of the Tanakh correct?

    http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Bible/...

    http://www.breslov.com/bible/

    I ask because a couple of Jewish posters have said that Christians use a poor translation. These are two that I often use, so I'd like to know if they're correct. If yes, is one better than the other? If not, is there a better online version?

    Also, in the first one you sometimes find G-d, with the hyphen, but also GOD in block caps, but no hypthen. Does anybody know what is the distinction?

  • Jews & Christians, do you think Christians must obey the 613 laws of the Tanach?

    Why or why not? Before answering, Christians, you might want to read them:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/613_Mitzvot

    A small number of Christians have previously answered this yes. Some add that they have been *altered* and that is why, for example, Christians don't place mezuzah on their doorposts. If you believe that, where in the Bible does it say that were they *altered* and by whom?

    For the record, based on both Romans and Galacians, my family does not follow these 613. If a Christian chooses to, that's their decision. But if you choose to, why do you think you can *alter* them or pick and choose. You're either *under* them all as written or you're not.

  • Have you read the Bush Scroll, signed by New Jewish Congress, Sanhedrin, etc.? Opinions?

    I'd like to know what people think of this document. Personally, I think it's magnificent, but it's bound to be controversial.

    This document was to be presented to Bush in Israel. I'm not sure if they succeeded in getting it to him. It's signed by Dr. Gadi Eshel (The New Jewish Congress), Rabbi A. Even Yisrael Steinzaltz (The Sanhedrin), and Rabbi Chaim Richman (The Holy Temple and Temple Mount Movements).

    In the address line, it refers to Bush as Gog, by citing Ezekiel 38:1.

    The scroll can be found at:

  • Need a last minute gift? May I suggest?

    May I suggest one of the baskets, or perhaps a llama or water buffalo from Heifer International. Heifer does not just feed the hungry, but sets them up so that they can feed themselves. For example, a gift of a llama will set up a cottage industry in weaving that will help make a family or village self sufficient.

  • Should there be criminal penalties for using children in this way?

    Attached is a link to a Yorkshire Post article and video, a child's sing-a-long about a little girl watching her mother strap on a bomb, then blowing herself and others up when Israeli troops confront her. The end of the song is about how the child wants to emulate her mother.

    Do we need to legislate penalties for using children to promote violence? I'm not aware of any such laws, but if they exist, what are they?

  • If you oppose the statehood of Israel, do you also oppose Jordan?

    ... and for that matter, Iraq and Saudi Arabia? Because they were all Arab states that never existed until the last century.

    Jordan was created out of 3/4 of the land called the "British Mandate for Palestine." Israel is a tiny piece of what was that Mandate.

    So why are no Arabs lobbing rockets into Jordan?

  • If you keep your kids in on Halloween for religious reasons, what do you do when the doorbell rings?

    Do you give them candy or explain why you're not? Not answer the door? Turn off all the lights and put the car in the garage?

    Based on this article from todays news, I'd be tempted to tell them to go home and put on some clothes. But this is an easy one for me. Where I live, there are no trick or treaters.

  • Do Roman Catholics believe that the Pope is Christ on Earth?

    I've been reading this statement in a number of RC responses to questions. They're not saying a representative of Christ, but actually Christ.

    Without outing anybody, here's one quote: "The Pope is Christ on earth to us Catholics, he is infallible IN MATTERS OF RELIGION."

    Could somebody please tell me if that is a doctrine or core belief? And if it is, at what point does he become Christ - at birth or when he is elected to the office?

    Thank you.

  • Will the US women beat Brazil in the semis? Why or why not?

    I don't think the US team has played up to its potential yet, so I'm hoping to see them step up. Also, as fans, we're just getting used to not having Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Brandh Chastain, Joy Fawcett, and this has to be Kristine Lilly's final World Cup. It's a whole new look.

  • Can we settle once and for all what Paul did and did not do?

    Paul was a Jew, a Pharisee, who did his teaching and preaching in the synagogues wherever he went. He never taught rejection of his people, the Jews. Near the end of his recorded ministry, he stood in Rome and said, “"Brethren, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans" (Acts 28:17).” The people whom he called “brethren” were Jews.

    The gentiles, who were early converts or who took an interest in the teachings of Yeshua that were taught by the apostles, went to the synagogues to learn in the early days. “Trying to peddle the Gospel in the pagan marketplace would have been like trying to sell fresh fruit in a hardware store.” [Netivyah, “Paul and the Synagogue”]

    If you’re interested in knowing what Paul really did and what he really did not do, I recommend two websites:
