Answer to What did the good book really mean when it said: An eye for an eye?

Tue, 10 Apr 2007 09:31:02 -0700

What did the good book really mean when it said: An eye for an eye?

Yes, the old law did mean this, but Jesus said that although it has been said "an eye for an eye," that we should turn the other cheek. This means that instead of punishing someone and seeking revenge, we should love them and not seek this revenge on them.

Everyone says "God loves you." But every relationship I have or have had has failed, so do I have a failed relationship with God too? How do I know I'm loved by God?

God isn't human, therefore He does not see us as humans do. He chooses to love us no matter how much we aggrivate him or if we have any flaws that cause others to stop loving us. There is no such thing as a failed relationship with God that was caused by God himself. He has loved us since...

When people say "belly ring" I often think they're referring to a surface piercing. ha. Did you pierce it yourself? If you did, that's your problem. The other two probably rejected because you aren't professionally trained to know how to place a piercing. Sorry, lady....

Me and my friend want to know what Johnny Depp's E-mail adress is...does anybody know what it is?

I'm pretty sure he [or any celebrity, for that matter] would never make their personal email public. Even if they make email accounts for fan mail, it's very doubtful that they would personally check it. They hire people to do that.

Answer to Which place is better to pierce, your upper-ear, nose, or eyebrow, when doing your own piercing?

Wed, 23 Aug 2006 19:37:26 -0700

Which place is better to pierce, your upper-ear, nose, or eyebrow, when doing your own piercing?

None of the above. It is completely assinine to even think about doing something like that. No normal persons owns an autoclave, so nothing you use to pierce it will be sterile. Running the needle over a flame adds more germs, and boiling really doesn't do much. Go to a professional piercer....

Answer to The Book of Acts records that the early church baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. They certainly must have understood Jesus' command in Matthew 28:19 to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Why didn't they baptize that way?

Like the other posters, I follow Jesus, but I do believe in faith healing. I have some reservations about Benny Hinn, but you can't deny that God has healed many people through him. God healed my eye about a month ago. Something was wrong with it and I was told I'd be blind as early as...

Mon, 21 Aug 2006 13:39:32 -0700

Has anyone ever dyed and streaked their hair at home with a kit from a drug store? Did it work well and was it easy to apply?

I dye my hair with those at home all the time. It all really depends on which brands you use. I only use Herbal Essence or Garnier [the yellow/green box, not the 100% color.] The thing to keep in mind is that your hair will never turn out the color it says on the box. For the most part, those...

I dyed my hair red and it's almost orange! Should I strip it or recolor with a medium brown (natural color)?

It'll completely wreck your hair, but laundry detergant is the best to get color out of your hair. If you don't want to go down that route [I don't reccommend it unless it's an emergancy], wait a few days, wash it as normal [over washing will just dry your hair out, dude.], and it might very...

What is it like to go to a college located in a very small town or in an isolated area?

I've really enjoyed going to two colleges that were both in small towns. Since there's nothing to do within 45 minutes of the school, it makes time for everyone on campus to know each other. It's really, really great. I wouldn't have it any other way.

What do colleges look for when considering whether to accept or reject an applicant?

I'd definitely say it's all about money. I had a 1.04 GPA in high school, graduated 75 out of 102. (For the record, I'm not stupid, I just didn't apply myself.) I applied to several different colleges [some of them quite choosey] and was accepted to all of them. I really have no explaination for...

Wed, 09 Aug 2006 20:57:39 -0700

Has anyone on prescribed medication done the lemonade diet? If so, any negative reactions?

I've never tried it, but I can say that any type of diet where you eat/drink one food and use it as most of your nutrition for the day will not last and is not healthy. The best way to lose weight is to simply eat less and exercise more. A diet like this may work in the short term, but no one can...

Wed, 09 Aug 2006 08:31:11 -0700

Well, you don't need to "tell your sins" at a church for God to forgive you. You only need to ask God for forgiveness. You were alreay forgiven on the cross, now you just have to ask for it. However, you must make Jesus your Lord and Savior. A lot of people tend to only make Him...

If you don't follow God's rules, but you have been a good person, will you go to heaven or hell?

There is no such thing as a "good person." No one is good enough to get into heaven. The Bible says that if you've told one little lie, you're a liar. If you've ever had a hateful thought, you're a murderer. If you've ever had a lustful thought, you're an adulterer. The only way to...

Sun, 06 Aug 2006 20:57:53 -0700

I have dyed yellow/blonde hair, but when I tried to dye my hair ash brown, it turned my hair a gray/green/black color. Why did this happen, and how can I get the brown color I want?

Any hair color with "ash" in the title is a generally a bad bet with already processed hair. Stick with something that says "warm" in the title. Ash always makes your hair, well, ashy looking.

Fri, 04 Aug 2006 23:25:08 -0700

How long does it take for a piercing to close up?

It's relative to the size, place of the piercing, and how long you've had it. While my nostril piercing closed up within an hour, my eyebrow piercing has been open for the past six months even though I've had no jewelry in it. I've also had my earlobes pierced since I was 6 months old and haven't...

Answer to My hair has previously been dyed, but I cut it. It turned golden-brown because of chlorine in my pool. Can I still use kool-aid, and which colors are reccommended?

Fri, 04 Aug 2006 21:53:09 -0700

My hair has previously been dyed, but I cut it. It turned golden-brown because of chlorine in my pool. Can I still use kool-aid, and which colors are reccommended?

I wouldn't recommend kool-aid. I used to use it in Jr. High and it looked trashy. Not to mention, I could never get it out! I must have dyed over it three times before it went away. If you are really set on doing it, I found the best results came from any of the "red" flavors.

My hair is a really dark blonde and I want to dye it a really light blonde. What is the best at home color to use if my hair is damaged?

I also have really damaged hair. (Dying your hair bi-weekly for 8 years will do that to you!) My all time favorite dye is the Garnier dye with the green and yellow box [I don't know the actual brand name, I just know what the box looks like.] A close second would be Herbal Essence. No matter what...

Answer to If your original hair color is a dark color like dark brown or black, do you have to bleach it first before you dye it a lighter color?

Fri, 04 Aug 2006 21:47:58 -0700

If your original hair color is a dark color like dark brown or black, do you have to bleach it first before you dye it a lighter color?

A general rule with hairdye is that unless your hair is white, it's not going to turn out exactly how it is on the box. Almost all color keys on hairdye boxes are the same piece of hair with a color filter put on the picture. If you were going to go from dark brown to blonde, your best bet is to...

Answer to Is it safe to dye your eyebrows with haircolor?

Fri, 04 Aug 2006 21:46:21 -0700

Is it safe to dye your eyebrows with haircolor?

Yes, it's fine. I've done it hundreds [literally!] of times. Put a little bit of vasoline on the skin around your brows so it doesn't stain, don't get it into your eyes [and if you do, flush them immediately!], and you'll be fine. The "do not use on eyebrows" warning on hairdye boxes is...

As stated by other users, there isn't any permanent pink dye, but there is semi-permanent which, when used correctly, can last just as long as permanent would. Special FX and Raw dyes are absolutely amazing. You can get both at Hot Topic [and Sally's, I'm sure] for $12/bottle. I have short...

Answer to If you smoke cigarettes, drink, and don't go to church, but still have a personal relationship with God and pray, can you get into heaven?

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 22:12:37 -0700

If you smoke cigarettes, drink, and don't go to church, but still have a personal relationship with God and pray, can you get into heaven?

Once you've accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior [not just Savior, but both. That's a different question, though.], you're fine. There is only one unforgivable sin and it is none that you mentioned. The only thing you need to worry about is to keep your relationship with Him and not wander away.
