did satan physically take jesus to the temple when tempting him?.
put simply, we cannot be certain whether jesus actually stood in the temple or he did so only by means of a vision.

bonnie is fourteen years old now and she's still fit and active, but she sleeps (and farts) a lot more and is definitely slowing down.. she loves us in her own dumb way and always comes to the door to greet me when i get home from work.
she doesn't 'sin' but yeah, she'll steal biscuits and feel shame afterwards.
she's loyal and intelligent and i dread the day when .
i can see it now, we are the most beautiful and smartest people in the world.. steve harvey will never be the host of another beauty pageant.
lol.
i was thinking, don't you think it's time for our society to move on from beauty pageants?.
James Mixon: "Steve Harvey will never be the host of another beauty pageant. LOL perhaps contrary, there is no such thing as bad publicity in Hollywood/Vegas.
Ladies on display? search for the most vivacious, with the right answers, (yes Sir)? the search for Esther, Abishag, Snow white ? Some frustrated men might watch it, in this family and friends it is a lady thing.
As long as sick pedophiles only view, sad that parents looking for fame frame their offspring. The fashion industry is admonished to keep the 13 year old looking bodies off the walkway. photoshopping the juveniles. fat chance. finally,: wt: what imperfection?
education? an evening with Hawking anyone?
witnesses hate college education, and why would you need one when you have our "spiritual food" the watchtower answering science questions.. watchtower 1973 july 15 p.7 questions from readers.. "when did dinosaurs go extinct?
-they may have disappeared during the flood of noahs day.

Interesting is it not that the Almighty creator who existed all throughout time made his creations on a designated set time scale.

wt teaches that rev 18:11 applies to "big business" mourning the demise of false religion, as they were essentially losing their best customer(s).. the last reference to this concept that i could find is 1993 wt.

you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.
