Who opposed the gentiles?
gentiles Additionally: Gentiles are "all the nations of the world who are not the blood descendants of Abraham" [the twelve tribes of Israel] whom God called out from among t…he nations and sanctified them for His Holy use [uses among which was to provide the venue through whom the Christ would be born]. Adam and Eve were the first two Gentiles... and "that Old Serpent" called the Devil, and Satan [Rev.12: 9 & Rev.20:2] was the first one to "oppose" them; deceiving them into "opposing" -- disobeying and rebelling against God and His Commandments. Since then... all of their Gentile children [the nations of the world] have been influenced by the Serpent [their preferred and chosen god] and have been "opposing" one another in one fashion or other in constant disagreements and assorted hatreds and wars, beginning with Cain and Abel. Nor have God's "elect" [the twelve tribes of Israel] been above the influences of this world's god; subject to him also and "opposing one another"... as evidenced by their own rebellious history... having been scattered among the Gentile nations to this day, where most of their modern descendants don't know their true heritage and believe themselves to be Gentiles. In other words... Gentiles [the nations of the world] "oppose" one another. Step back, get the world overview, and look at the nations today and witness the opposition which we have all come to accept as normal life on earth. (MORE)

How do you oppose gravity?
You can't shut gravity off or insulate yourself against it, so the only way to fight it is to use a force in the opposite direction that's greater than the force of …gravity. This is most often accomplished through the use of devices known as "muscles". A few examples of the process include walking up stairs, lifting a book up from a table, and throwing a basketball in a ballistic trajectory, precisely calculated so as to intersect with the center of the hoop some time after gravity regains control. I just want to add something here. There are several ways to oppose gravity. You know Hydrogen is the lightest element known to humans and it is so light that it can escape gravity and rise up. So, that property is intrinsic to that of Hydrogen. Now, in experimental cases you can oppose gravity through magnetism. When you bring two similar poles of magnets close together they will repel each other. Now place one magnet over another and they would repel one another and float. You have to do this experiment in a systematic manner. (MORE)

What opposed to socialism?
This question does not make sense, but if I had to wager a guess I'd say the person asking either wanted a list of the negative aspects of socialism or wanted to know why …people oppose the idea of a social system designed to allow, at the very least, comfort and equality to all. I am not qualified to answer either of these questions definitively, but the first thing that comes to mind is the notion of motivation. As in, why would people be motivated to exel in their fields if they were not able to reap the rewards? People are selfish by nature, and if they didn't see what they were doing as benefitting themselves, why would they do it with any level of enthusiasm? Not that I dislike the idea, but it does not seem realistic to expect such a system to succeed. (MORE)
