How do friars motives differ from the couples motives?

Friars typically have a religious or altruistic motive, seeking to serve their faith and help others through their work. Couples, on the other hand, are motivated by personal relationships, love, companionship, and building a life together.


Why did Adonijah ask to marry Abishag?

Some have proposed that Abishag is the Shulammite in The Song of Solomon. If that is true, then Solomon himself wanted her as a part of his inheritance from David, as well as her recorded desirable beauty and chastity. We know both ladies were a part of Solomon's court and if she was the one Solomon desired for himself, the motive for Adonijah would be more than mere natural beauty, but have personal and political implications. This would also explain Solomon's extreme reaction of executing Adonijah. See http://www.scripturewise.com/story.htm#STORY for a more detailed scenario.


Where in the bible does Satan lie?

Genesis 2:15-17 relates the account of God speaking to Adam, giving him direction to be obedient, when it says: "And the Lord God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die."Later, at Genesis 3:1-4, Eve is heard telling Satan about this commandment, and Satan then knowingly lies to Eve when he says ". . . YOU positively will not die.". He then assigns a bad motive to God (Genesis 3:5). Because of this lie, mankind selfishly disobeyed God(John 8:44/John 3:8) and brought sin and death to themselves, and the entire human race (Genesis 5:5/Romans 5:12).John 8:44New King James Version (NKJV) 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.


What does Luke chapter 15 verse 7 mean?

"I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance". Compare to Matthew 18:10-14..." For the Son of man is come to save that which is lost. How think ye? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father, which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish". A supreme Christian motive is that we conduct ourselves in such a way that no one else may be lost on account of our example. Jesus said this a number of times, in different connections.


Did Jesus fake his own death?

Some people say that they have seen him walking around Graceland. There are a series of videos on You Tube explaining why his death is a fake and videos of him at Graceland. One video also shows his house where he is believed to live after all these years. At his funeral, his cousin and other relatives and fans saw his body in the coffin and said that that didn't look like the Elvis they knew. Particulary his cousin said some stuff like: "That isn't Elvis; his body looks too sweaty, his nose looks different, and so does his face." Some people believe that his cousin was right, and take the story further. They believe that Elvis had faked his death and put a different body in his grave, because he was tired of being that big of a star and needed a long break from it. People say that he is still out there somewhere. There will still be Elvis sightings all over the world, and still people will believe he is still alive at 75 years old, But no one will ever know the truth. My friend saw him in a car and said it looked just like him.
