PapaJim I agree with Island_Gecko...to a degree. If you continue following conventional medical procedures...no, there will not be a cure for cancer...ever. It is rare that a true "cure" comes out of the medical-phamaceutical community (the last I remember is...

PapaJim I agree with you...to a degree. Not knowing the maturity level of your son, I will put it this way: If he is much more mature than his age, I would say that he would be able to schedule his work time and school requirements appropriately. Generally, I would...

Sin.

baronarthur @baronarthur (4187) • Indonesia 17 Nov 06

It's not because I commit a sin than I am a sinner, but because I am a sinner, then I commit a sin. What do you think? I think it's true. That's explain why we always do the sins.

commit

PapaJim It's true. Since the Fall, we as human have always had the propensity to sin. It is only through God's grace and Jesus' sacrifice that we are forgiven. We have an awesome and loving God.

Do you believe in love? Do you believe in love at first sight? Did you ever feel love at one point in your life? Did you love many times? And did it differ from the other times you loved?

Internet explorer vs Firefox

Is firefox better than internet explorer

17 responses

PapaJim I use both but much prefer Firefox and use it well over 75% of the time. The personalization factor is the biggest draw for me. Plus the arrogance and vulnerability of Microsoft are turnoffs.

PapaJim I would certainly hope so. I have been married to the same lovely creature for 31 years and we're still on our honeymoon. It is sad, however, that in today's world of "What's in it for me?", commitment seems to be a rare creature. At the first "bump in the...
