raina85 In my opinion, a person fears your presence because he hates you from inside. To explain it, lets think reverse; suppose a person hates another. He wouldnt want to be with that person's company; he will avoid him as far as possible. So, if you see a person...

"It's better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you're not"

beauty1278 @beauty1278 (4) • United States 1 Sep 11

raina85 Well the quote here refers to the hypocrisy of people. People usually act good infront of others, but in reality they are not. The quote here encourage us to be truthful about yourself that it is better to be hated for who you are- if you are bad inside, you...

raina85 Yes its true, now-a-days people are so called born-christian and not born-again-christian. But, in my opinion, a true christian will say "Im a christian because I'm convinced about christianity". Jesus has told us about Holyspirit who convicts us. 1...

Lots of woman love to use makeup and can do the most beatiful things with it but other love makeup and dont have a clue what to do. For those that love makeup do you seek using tutorials to learn more or do you like to...

raina85 yeah I seek makeup tutorials, as it gives me some ideas. In my opinion, how much ever times we go for makeup tutorials, it will only give us knowledge about the subject and when we try to do it out ourself or do an experiment, it will be easier and more...

God is a jealous God

visavis @visavis (5934) • Philippines 31 Jul 11

How can you define God is a jealous god? Since He is justice God. He understand us. Most of us are willing to serve God but our priorities is not for God, some are saying his/her priority if to serve and praising God but in time...

raina85 The context for the words " God is a jealus God" is that God loves us so much. He has Agape love for us. He was willing to give up His one and begotten son Jesus Christ for us. And God cannot bear if we go after other Gods instead of Him. Because He loves...

Overthinking

chelsit @chelsit (105) • United States 18 Aug 11

Why do we spend so much time and energy focusing on what we do not have, instead of focusing on the things we do have.

raina85 i think its because of one of the prominent character of human being - greed. How much ever is given to a human, he won't be satisfied. He needs more and more. In other perspective, a human being strive forward, on the basis of hope, aim, desires...

Do you think Jesus really cares about WHERE we worship?

leafygreens08 @leafygreens08 (754) • United States 9 Jan 11

raina85 you can find the answer from bible itself. Turn to John chapter 4 verse 23; "yet a time is coming and now has come, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." Where...
