Answer to:
The 3 Wise Men brought frankincense, gold and myrrh to the stable. What would 3 Wise Women have brought? They might have brought a horse, mule or camel. When they went to the house where Jesus was they might have brought gifts, also. The Bible does say that Jesus was born in the manger, because there was no place found for the family when they arrived in Bethlehem, but the "wise men", actually called "magoi", or magicians/sorcerers/astrologers, arrived some time later,...

Can I invade my kids privacy and use eavesdropping electronics to spy on them?

Parents have the right to perform searches of a childs personal living areas and posessions, confiscate any...

Before logging they must also do archeological surveys of proposed cut blocks,...

It has a low, rough idle, black smoke comes out of the tailpipe, it backfires when I coast and the engine stalls whenever I come to a stop Black smoke is definitely not a good sign. It is likely the engine has to be overhauled, honing the cylinder walls, replacing pistons and rings, gaskets and seals. Also the crank shaft and bearing should be checked, as well as an inspection of the block for cracks. The black smoke is indicative of oil leaking into the firing chamber, either through a cracked block, blown rings or a...

Also, an antiinflammatory like Ibuprofen is probably going to be more effective for you to relieve the...

It is likely that you could tell them millions of times, and they will never change their view, because their definition of evil is apparently different from yours.

I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see.... he was once a man like us.” (Teachings of Joseph Smith, p.345) when reading Psalm 90:2? If the quote is accurate I would say Joseph Smith believed that God was not always a God, but that at one time he was a man. I have heard similar theories, that men in the Mormon religion today will eventually become Gods also, and rule over their own planets.

The skull is also a typical symbol of rebellion, or a desire to destroy or be destroyed due to disdain for the world, associated with paganism, cults, witchcraft and sorcery.

This gear intermeshes with gear teeth on the fly wheel. The gears on the end of the starter are probably damaged so they don't intermesh tightly, and slip and grind when they try to engage the flywheel. It is also possible for the...

At high water the level in the bay is actually 14 feet above the river, and causes water to rush up the river more than 80 miles, forming rapids or falls at the narrows, going up the river.

Which parts of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, used by the Jehovah's Witnesses, are thought to be inaccurate? The most common complaint is the translation of John 1:1, where many Bibles say "the Word was God", the NWT says "the Word was a god".

Answer to:
Is glass a solid or liquid? I have seen several mentions of glass being some sort of liquid, as in the previous question an answer and comment state that it is a super viscous fluid. But doesn't this defy common sense? It is brittle, it is not flexible to any great extent, if it is bent beyond even a few degrees it shatters, if force is removed it returns to its original shape, in all aspects it behaves as a solid,...

Answer to:
If the Bible says we should not kill, why are many Christians in the military and in a situation where they may have to kill others? Christians all over the world fight in wars because they are convinced that they are fighting on the side of righteousness, defending innocent people from oppressive governments, and suppressing evil empires.

Answer to:
Why is a boat's steering wheel typically on the right? The location of steering controls is largely a matter of preference and specific design of a vessel. For example, on my 42' patrol ship the controls are on the left or port, possibly so the instruments and navigation equipment are more easily accessible on the right hand side of the operator, for more comfortable operation of controls on the radar, radios sounder and GPS recievers.
