I am writing a paper and would like your opinion on what kinds of jobs you think are influencing society negatively.

24 hour newscasts. No news? Let’s make crap up, fight about it, lie about it, and then ignore it when we are wrong.

Never seen before episodes, deleted scenes — stuff like that. Not unseen Skins which you can watch on the E4 website, but rarer videos. Thanks!

On YouTube, they have the oldest unseen videos.
Like the secret parties and the season 1 and 2 unseen.

2 Corinthians 4:18 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal

Are the pitfalls of society placed there purposely to prevent our knowledge of such things?
What steps do we have to take mentally to perceive the gateway to the unknown?

This is a genuine question asked with respect
I do not give Thumb Down
Atheists if you wish to answer please be respectful
So many wonderful answers…..thank-you all.

Wonderful question ST…

To answer this question properly one has to study the entirety of this chapter, "setting forth the truth plainly" (1-2) Even if we aren’t well skilled, the Word of the Gospel has a message, and it is the message that is the key for us, not the messenger.So, we see here something Paul is trying to say.

In verses (3-4) the word shares that the Gospel is *veiled*. Which means our minds have been *blinded* by none other than Satan, and I won’t get into all the aspects of Satan here… but suffice to just join all of what keeps us blinded under the heading of *Satan*. So if others reject a *plain* presentation of the gospel we see, two problems… Something has blinded mankind from seeing, and also, a personal choice to reject happens inside the person who can’t see. WE are not told how Satan has done this, but the "god of this age" implies that the citizens willingly submit and follow Satan’s ways.

So now let’s go further into *This age* (4:4) This temporal phrase has several different forms: ( "this present age’ is mentioned in Titus 2:12. "the present evil age "Gal 1:4) Speaks of how this age is far from perfect; evil spiritual forces are arrayed against the Gospel. But even so, in the present darkness, God’s Gospel light shines..

Now let’s look at Paul himself for a sec… What did Paul possess in abundance more so than his beloved Corinthians…He never loses *Heart,* nor relies on anything other than *the light shed by the Gospel message itself.* And that is a key for us to see. Paul knows that the answer does not lie in mankind, but LOOKS to God, focusing his faith in God’s faithfulness, his eyes are fixed on the eternal it says in verses ( 4: 16). So in this, we see a STATE of BEing Rise, the message of CHRIST is planted firmly in the HEART<

ST, the thing to see here, is that mankind is fickle… in and of itself for the most part, our circumstances can be chaotic and therefore our minds are scattered to and fro, we can’t make up our minds, and until we do the CERTAINTY, CAN NOT BE PLANTED IN THE HEART TO ANCHOR US, seeing only what is occupying our minds, hearts and souls, in the physical realms… Now that is where, mankind will remain unless God intervenes on our behalf… and God did through Jesus Christ Our Beloved Lord… and Savior… What enabled Paul to minister so optimistically was his SETTLED conviction (nothing wavering) that "What is Seen" is "temporary"~ he was not in doubt or a state of disbelief at all.

He kept his eyes fixed , on the eternal promises found in the Word of God… He knew the word, and fully surrendered his heart, mind and soul over to God, and was infilled and blessed and kept by the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD! This is why it is said, no one will be able to boast … and we can do nothing without God.

Our Hope is in Christ, and every true believer in Christ is an "open letter" from Christ, because his life will show God’s work within his or her personality. The process is taking place now, and our hope is a progressive transformation as the New Covenant does "bring rightousness" into our lives…
What has to happen, is self must die,we must first *Take off * the Old man for us to * Put on * Christ. The New man can’t rise, until the old man dies… so that means a Spiritual rebirth must occur, that mankind be awakened from slumbering sleep… for an awakening to happen. The wonder is that Christ is closer than we think, and we can "Take HEART", as Jesus said… by Knowing that God is in control, whether it is mortally seen or not… we have confidence in this…
When the Old man dies, the old ways of thinking, being, and living die too… We are transformed by the Holy Spirit, who leads and guides us, into renewal of mind, soul, and heart ~ we are new creatures. The thing here is we are emptied and refilled, refueled so to speak, so NEW knowledge enters through our minds, working it’s way… into SETTLING US, our lives change, our hope is renewed, and we progressively are changed by the HOLY SPIRIT of God! WE begin to see all kinds of new possibilities… knowing THAT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

Goes back to ye must be born again … and for me this is so easily understood, for without having the desire for Wholeness in God, God will not come…(Jesus did not go into certain towns since the disbelief was so strong ~ God hates disbelief) This state of mind, rejects God, and God will not force himself on any. And I know these words come across as unpleasant for many, and I mean to offend none. For me, I can’t see that mankind will achieve this without Divine intervention from The Living God..

In Christ there is abundant life… He is the Door, and the Gateway!

ST, great question..let us not be Unstable in all our ways… but to be SETTLED in The HEART ZONE, that God is Faithful… all we see here, is temporal, but when we see into the Heart of God, we gain LIFE !

I have a GCSE English exam coming up soon, I would like to know how to compare a poem that I have studied from my pre realised booklet and a unseen poem? I am finding this quite hard especially the unseen poem and also I would like to know how should I structure the whole written essay?

Work on your technique for analyzing texts – look at the way in which the author has written the poem, e.g. using alliteration, simile, metaphor and other literary devices – and then think about how these literary devices help to convey the meaning and tone (e.g. happy, sad, satirical) of the poem to the reader. Think about the theme of the poem – how is it reflected in your unseen poem?

You can then compare these things with the unseen poem and look at the contrasts and similarities between the poems.

A couple of hints on essay structure:

Write an essay plan before you start writing your essay – it will help you clarify your thoughts.
Begin your essay by writing an Introduction – it doesn’t need to be very lengthy but this helps introduce your reader to what you will discuss in your essay
Then write your Analysis – this should be the main part of your essay
Finally, write a Conclusion – a concluding paragraph which sums up the things you have discussed in your essay.

For more guidance, ask your teacher. It’s a while since I did my English GCSE so your teacher will be much more well-informed than me. Good luck!

Beautiful woman wearing a red dress running through the woods. She frequently looks over her shoulder but we don’t ever see what she’s running from. Half way through the video, she goes into a house in the middle of the woods and has her make up re-done. She then leaves the house and continues to run from whatever she was running from.

Great song.

I have probably a party on friday…how can i lose weight?
I want to do a fast and then start my abc diet but i don’t know how to do because of my mom…suggestions?

Fasting is pointless. You just get so hungry that you end up eating more than usual.
Instead of an extreme regime just eat less of what you usually eat. Have 1 slice of toast instead of 2 for breakfast. Have smaller portions at dinner. All you need to cut out is the junk candy bars and chocolate. All they do is rot your teeth and make you fat.

Why is that which is most apparent, most simple, the most difficult for us to see?
Thank You for answering.
Many Blessings!
You guys are not making this easy for me, LOL!
Not a "wrong" answer in the bunch.
Thank You all for answering.
Many Blessings!

We cannot see the obvious because we spend most of our lives spent caught up with the ego. the ego cannot see what the spirit has to offer because the ego is trained to be the almighty and all knowing one. In order for the ego to see the spirit (which it never will) than the ego must release itself from control and give over to the spirit. From birth and before we are taught the ways of the ego, for many years this continues. Therefore the ego only sees what it wants to see, it has been trained for many years, our entire lives. When we train ourselves to be spirit then we can only begin to see what is so obviously obvious, the most apparent, the most simple.

If evolution theory is valid, there must be an unseen evolutionary force that somehow influence human development and is present even now ! Believe ?

your misunderstanding of science is profound
