How do people react to fashion and how do we react to it?
People react to fashion by expressing their individuality, creativity, and personal style through clothing choices. We react to fashion trends by either embracing them and incorporating them into our wardrobe, or by rejecting them and sticking to our own sense of style. Fashion also has the power to influence social norms, cultural perceptions, and self-confidence.
What does the Bible say about genetic engineering?
The Bible has nothing to say about Genetic Engineering. After all, this would have been a totally foreign concept to the biblical authors. Having said that, the Bible is a highly complex collection of Books and it is always possible for a reader to 'find' whatever meaning he wishes to find in it. Just because the Bible has nothing to say about Genetic Engineering does not mean we can not, or should not, take a moral stand if that is what we believe. There are many issues of moral and ethical importance in the world today, about which good people of all faiths or no faith must take a stand. While the Bible obviously does not mention Genetic Engineering (GE) specifically, there are some general principles taught that Christians may be following in their approach to this issue. A Christian who was pro-genetic engineering may feel that the principles of dominion would apply. A Christian who was concerned about the use of GE technology would feel that the issue of stewardship over the earth and the unknown outcome on the whole delicate and intricate food chain would be a guiding principal here. Also, the motivation behind the technology may be seen to be greed and selfish gain at the expense of others, both of which are against the teachings of the Bible. In either case, Christians do have to study the issue and to decide for themselves how it fits in with these general principles. They have the freedom to decide accordingly to the best of their ability.
What nationalities are phillopinos made up of?

Why if I took ambien cr for the first time last night was I wide awake 2 hours later any thoughts?
You might have experienced what's called a paradoxical reaction. This is (relatively) common amongst people who have ingested benzodiazapines (alprazolam, diazepam, although these are anxiolytic not hypnotic drugs like ambien) or 'z'-drugs. The desired effect of sedation is usually replaced by excitatory feelings such as loss of inhibition, restlessness and mild euphoria. This is probably due to the effect of GABA binding to BZ receptors in the brain. Changing the dosage may help. Also take into account confounding factors including any other prescription medications you might be taking: ssri's (prozac), weight-loss drugs (xenical, reductil), sndri's (wellbutrin/zyban), besides caffeine (long half-life), alcohol or nicotine.
How must I prepare myself before I am baptised?
I think that the first thing that one has to consider is "Why do I want to get baptized?".
Second. Is the church you are being baptized into the right church?
What will the church have to offer me?
Does it follow the teachings of Jesus Christ?
Is it called "The Church of Jesus Christ" or by some other name.
If you feel that you are satisfied with the church of your choice, then you have to asked for God's forgiveness for all of your sins and covenant with Him not to ever repeat them again.
You must covenant to serve Him with all of your might mind and strength by keeping the commandments, not only in action but by your very thoughts.
Seek the Holy Spirit to guide and direct your life.
Read and pray about the scriptures to have confirmed to you by the power of the Holy Ghost that they are true.
Get to know your saviour.
If after you feel that the Lord has forgiven you your sins, and you feel that you can commit your life to the service of your God, then you are ready for baptism.
Baptism is so that you can be a member of a church, it does not save you but is the first step to your salvation.
Baptism is an outward sign of what is in your heart. It can be a church ritual but it is more important for what it means to you, and between you and God. It can be used as a time of rededication in your life to God. Gal. 2:20 is a good scripture for this.

Can you explain the meaning of Revelation 22 verse 14?
What is the Roman Catholic's higher God?
There is only one "higher god" in Roman Catholicism and that is God, though through his Son, Jesus Christ. The Holy Trinity erroneously combines the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit into a single 'deity', mainly to affirm Jesus as the Son of God and to "name" the mechanism in which God communicates with those 'in His image'. Of course, for Jews and Muslims, the elevation of Jesus from a great prophet or messenger of the One-True-God to the actual Son of God (caused by the mistranslation of John 3:16 from Greek to Latin in which 'a son of God' became 'begotten son of God') is an abomination and an unforgivable slight against God. Both religions, however, consider Jesus a very important messenger and prophet, just not the Son of God. So the correct answer to the question is "the One-True-God is the figurehead for most of the world's monotheistic religions."
How do you worship god in spirit and in truth?
To worship God in spirit and truth we need to worship God from the heart and to worship Him according to the truth of His Word in The Bible.
God is a Spirit, therefore we need to worship Him as a Spirit, and not as some carved image.
This is why Jesus taught us that even our thoughts can cause us to sin, because everything begins in the mind. So our thoughts needs to be captivated by the Love of Christ.
What time was Jesus born according to the Holy Bible?
The Bible does not specify the time of day when Jesus was born. The Gospel of Luke does mention angels announcing the birth to shepherds in the middle of the night, which is why tradition places the birth in the early morning hours before sunrise. The date of his birth is not identified in Scripture, either, but was chosen by the Church several centuries later.
What it importance does it have for Jesus to call God father?
We need to know God as our heavenly Father, who supplies our every need. Even though we cannot see Him, God is always doing his best so that we can know Him in this regard.
John 1:18 "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."
Besides redeeming mankind, Jesus Christ declared God to us. Jesus made God, whom no man had ever seen, known. Because of his example, we understand Godly qualities from a human perspective.
John 20:29 "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
Without seeing God, many have believed. Beyond all doubt, Jesus confirmed that God is our Heavenly Father, to whom we can pray and receive powerful answers.
John 15:16 “...whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”
What chapter and verse where god says not jot or one title of his word should be changed?
This statement can be found in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 5, verse 18, where Jesus says, "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."
In the crucifixion story, the Jews were asked to choose between Jesus, the Son of the Father, and Barabbas, whose name also means, in Hebrew, Son of the Father. They chose to release Barabbas and to crucify Jesus.
John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) says that in his research, Spong has been able to find no evidence that there was a custom of releasing a prisoner at the time of the Passover. He says the original crucifixion story could have been related to Yom Kippur. One lamb or goat was killed for our sins and one had the sins of the people symbolically transferred to him, after which he was chased away. Mark simply transferred the imagery from the Yom Kippur festival and applied it to the trial of Jesus. in the Passover season.
On Shelby's reading, supported by others such as MacDonald, Jesus and Barabbas represented the two sheep of the Jewish tradition, one of which must be released and the other must be sacrificed. By releasing Barabbas, the Jews chose the wrong 'scapegoat'. Of course this tells us more about the development of the gospel than it does about human behaviour.
To be honest, it's kind of difficult to explain because we don't have enough knowledge to say exactly. The thought starts in the soul and is then sent to the brain. If this helps any, think of it like a calculator. The calculator only stores and analyses information. This site may help: http://www.west.net/~simon/brain-soul-consciousness.html . I'm not entirely sure whether this is good information or not so think about it carefully and study it before you accept it as a fact.
Here are a few more thoughts to chew on that may help you.
There has been evidence that other beings are able to send electrical impulse to our brains to make us see and hear stuff that is not there. Creepy...
The brain communicates by way of chemical and electrical stimulations.
You can know stuff but not think about it.
Every thought you think about was is your brain a second before you thought/ realized you were thinking about it. Science can find no other explanation than to say we have a soul.
Why would you say that it is "your body"? Your is a possesive noun. There must be something not included in your body to have possesion.
How many women over age 35 have fibroids?
It is estimated that about 20-80% of women over the age of 35 will develop fibroids at some point in their lives. The risk of developing fibroids increases with age, with women in their 40s and 50s being at the highest risk.
What was it like living in Jesus' time?
The times were very hard for the people of Israel. There was the Roman occupation, which means that there were foreign soldiers in control of the country. They stole, raped, and terrorized the people. The rulers were Roman appointed which meant that you did not get justice because the rulers did not care about your people or your country. Taxes were very high and the collectors were brutal about collecting it.
Life under the Roman occupation meant that everything but religion was controlled by foreign people. This says that they didn't understand your culture or your religious obligations. Romans worshiped many gods and the Jewish God was just another one to add to the list which was very long. Caesar was even a god, and this made for much conflict in the population.
People like Caiphas were high priests, but they were political appointees. This is like having your preacher be appointed by the government. He might know about your denomination, but his heart was not in it. He was in it for the status, not the religion. High priests were appointed, not anointed by God. They served for a short time, then were replaced by another appointee. So the priestly system was controlled by the Romans. The religious system of justice was twisted by these men to suit the Roman occupiers. While the system was still in place, it was not what God had commanded.
As far as the general population's lives, it continued pretty much as it always had. People raised families, went to synagogue (church), farmed, traded, and traveled. Some things were seriously monitored like travel, but all in all, people adjust to the way life is. They prayed for Messiah and most seriously wanted Him to come to free them, but in the mean time...they just lived.
There were a few extremist groups during this time, most notably the Zealots. These people were radicals who actively fought to oust the Romans. They tried and tried to overcome the Romans but were unsuccessful. Josephus the historian was a former Zealot who participated in a campaign to overcome the Romans. He became a turncoat and went to Rome to avoid being ostracized in his own country. While in Rome, he wrote a history of the Jews..a very important document about the times.
The Messiah was Promised, but in all the times of the Jews, had never come. Over the centuries, many men had helped save the nation, but never the one Messiah who would bring lasting peace. In fact, the last messiah to save the people had been Judah Maccabee about 400 years before Jesus. But when he saved the country from paganism, he then turned to politics and his family became political not religious in later years. (See the link.)
The reason that Jesus was not accepted by all the people as Messiah was that He did not free the country, just souls. There is a big difference between eternal salvation and physical freedom. The Christians were still in bondage, but their souls were free. After centuries of bondage, the people couldn't really understand the difference so Jesus' life, death, and resurrection wasn't "real" to the general population at the time. They wanted the freedom promised in Zachariah 14 now, not at some future date. Jesus didn't do that...He saved people for eternity.
How many people practice karate?
As a matter of fact, it is virtually impossible to know about this. Maybe there are some polls held that can give answer to this question. Karate has spread throughout the world (even England as it is one of the important countries). As per 2011 census, population of England in 53.01 million with people from different parts of the world living there. So, maybe there are thousands of karateka in England.
Who are the followers of Christianity?

What is The contribution of revelation in natural science?
I am not sure of what you are asking, so I hope my answer is what your question is about.
Basiclly all of the weather and earthquakes, water, ect. that is refered to in the Book of Rev. Elohim created all things and the weather is part of that and in the Book of Rev. He uses the weather and the earth and the sky to bring is wrath to the people that don't belong to him. And this well be a very visable sight for all mankind including the sciencific world. Nature is going to be a very powerful force that well be used in the end.
What are the sociological perspectives placed on people today?
everything we do we do in society, because of society and fear the consequences of societys judgments
despite the fact that society judges everything and everyone for everything imaginable
you don't have the right hairstyle, judged
you have a big nose judged
you are fat judged
you are smart judged
you like pink judged
you don't wear the right clothes judged
you don't have the right family judged
you don't listen to the right songs judged
and on and on
society also wants us to ignore our animal instincts that still contribute to make us what and who we are and become this perfect being whilst still being human, not exactly comparable is it?
we are never going to merge into this perfect symbiotic human
we wre previously wild animal, hunter, killer, procreational driven and most of those things are still in us, they always will be, but we quieten them down because we now live in "civilized society" and now and again they surface and we judge ourselves and get judged by society for having them and for letting them out
society is confusing due to the fact that it cant even tell right from wrong yet tells us we should know what right and wrong should be, and that we should do it
ie killing is wrong, but euthanasia is it not killing?
oh ,its for the animals wellbeing to stop suffering
so why don't we do it to humans?
because killing is wrong!
the definition of evil is set,
a killer
a wife beater
mothers who kill their babies
a 9 year old who killed another 9 year old
society doesn't stop and say hey wait a minute the research suggests this is either a mental illness, stress, tumour, brain damage, childhood trauma or something else and we need to find out what and not simply define people who could have had any number of accidents or things wrong physically as evil and give up on them and send them to death
society expects,demands, that we are all the same, we live the same, we look the same, have the same jobs, and takes no consideration for the individual person, when any individual stands up and says hey wait a minute i don't like that car i like this one, i don't like that band i like this one etc etc
they are hounded and judged for being a non conformist, every non conformist has been and will always be frowned upon by society
individual people can actually be very tolerant,
but within society they become something else,
the 'hive mind' thinks for them and dictates to them
and in order to be liked, to fit in and be one with the rest of society they go along with it
its a cycle of imperfection, judgments, confusion and nonacceptance and it will never stop demanding that we are perfect as humans and perfect as people
