1) What did you say (get your Godspeak-English) dictionary out)

2) Isn't it easier to use English?

3) Were you drunk?

4) Ever seen the Simpsons episode "Praise-Land?"

5) That's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. I've got some other questions you might be able to answer.

1) If god is perfect, why'd he need to make us? The human race is by no means a perfect creation. WE live less that 100 years, die ever so easily, and can be altered by changing a strand of DNA.

2) If God is so great, why didn't he make it so that a mother's immune system is passed onto her baby? Why can't they have at birth immunity to things like chicken pox and so forth?

3) If god is so great, why the great flood? I can't believe that everyone apart from our friend noah and his family wer EVIL. (mwhhahahahaha)

And on a slightly different topic, let me present a scenario.

The human race has just discovered that something is about to hit Earth and destroy 99% of life on it. This event happens about every 9000 years. It is likely that most of the human race, and all the technology, language and art assosiated with it will be gone in the upcoming 9,000 year dark age. The question: how would you leave a message for future civilisations to prepare for the next disaster? Remember, it has to survive 8,000 years or more and be found again :)

1) Went something like "anee mah tab oh hahd mat meh new yo," and very fluid. It just flowed from me, that's the only way I can describe it.

2) Yes it is, but apparently speaking in tounges like that is your soul speaking directly to God, not your flesh. And when you pray in English or your native language then other thoughts get in the way, the words themselves get in the way, and (as my youth pastor said) the devil can intercept language. But your heavenly language is your own and only God understands it.
It's like when a baby sees her father come home. She runs to the door saying "Gah ga, dadda, ga goo bah.. yeee!" That's not a language, but the father knows exactly what his baby needs.
I'd also like to add that praying isn't like some black magic chant that if you do it right then you get what you want. Praying harder and harder or trying to work Jesus up to it (like "oh Jesus, you're so great I love you so much... but can you just maybe heal my friend, he's got bronchitis and he can't hang out anymore") doesn't work! It's not how hard you pray or what you pray for. God hears it whether it's english or jibberish or anything. He knows what you need and want even before you do, and long before you pray about it. God works on His own time and that's not always what we think might be best.

3) I have never nor will ever consume alcohol in any form

4) Yes, it was quite humorous

5)
1. He made us for company in the Garden of Eden. But the Devil tricked us into sinning by eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Life and Death which made us ... fall from grace and get booted out of the Garden. Oh, and it says Adam lived 930 years, Seth 912... so on, until we get to Noah's story it continually declines at which point God get's sick of human's corrupt fashions and limits them to 120 years.

2. There was originally no need for it as we were intended to live our life in perfect peace. But we screwed that up too :(

3. How many people do you believe were alive in Noah's day, just curious? But it says that every inclination of every man's heart was purely evil and He was greatly pained by this, sorry He created humans. However Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. That's how it went, believe it or not.

Scenario:
I'd probably burrow a very powerful radio signal deep into the south pole. The reason being. If they can detect radio signals then they've obviously advanced far enough in technology to understand the predicament and POSSIBLY do something about it, and if they can reach the south pole then they obviously have the technology available to evacuate the Earth and live in some desolate area, perhaps the moon or Mars, whether they've implemented it for that purpose or not.
However, I would not be for planting any kind of signal to tell future civilizations of their impending and certain doom. That would just be cruel as there is most likely nothing (good) they will be able to do about it anyway.

You hate a lot, Paul.

And it's my personal belief that alcohol is bad. The Bible doesn't say anything bad about it, just drunkeness. I just don't see very much good coming from alcohol so why would I want it.
