"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1Cor13 "Jacob's Ladder: 10 Steps to Truth", by Peter Kreeft

Does it mean you are being specifically blocked by them or that they are somehow blocking all others from following them?

9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoHow do Protestants justify believing the Eucharist is only symbolic while the early Church believed it to be the body and blood of Jesus?
In summarizing the early Fathers’ teachings on Christ’s Real Presence, renowned Protestant historian of the early Church J. N. D. Kelly, writes: "Eucharistic teaching, it should be understood at the outset, was in general unquestioningly realist, i.e., the consecrated bread and wine were taken to be, and were treated and designated as, the Savior’s body and blood" (Early Christian Doctrines, 440).
For example, Ignatius, bishop of Antioch wrote in AD 110, ""Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. . . . They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes" (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2–7:1 [A.D. 110]).
Also, in AD 150 Justin Martyr writes about the Eucharist, "We do not consume the eucharistic bread and wine as if it were ordinary food and drink, for we have been taught that as Jesus Christ our Savior became a man of flesh and blood by the power of the Word of God, so also the food that our flesh and blood assimilates for its nourishment becomes the flesh and blood of the incarnate Jesus by the power of his own words contained in the prayer of thanksgiving." (First Apology of St. Justin Martyr)
6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoWhat does yahoo answers have against the mouse?
Whenever I am entering text in the box if I go back and edit it and click the mouse where in the text box I want to start editing, the text automatically scrolls to the top. I always have to arrow down with the keyboard to get the cursor where I want it instead of just being able to use the mouse on touch screen.
4 AnswersYahoo Answers6 years agoDid you know that Pope Saint Telesphorus (reigned A.D. 126-137) instituted the tradition of Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve?
And, that Theophilus (A.D. 115-181), Catholic bishop of Caesarea in Palestine said: “We ought to celebrate the birthday of Our Lord on what day soever the 25th of December shall happen.”
Also, Saint Hippolytus (A.D. 170-240) wrote in passing that the birth of Christ occurred on December 25:
"The First Advent of our Lord in the flesh occurred when He was born in Bethlehem, was December 25th, a Wednesday, while Augustus was in his forty-second year, which is five thousand and five hundred years from Adam. He suffered in the thirty-third year, March 25th, Friday, the eighteenth year of Tiberius Caesar, while Rufus and Roubellion were Consuls."
This goes to show along with the following article that Christians were celebrating Christmas on December 25th long before the pagans celebrated their Sun god.
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoHow do I submit a bug to Yahoo Answers?
When I edit my answers and scroll to where I want to edit and either click it with my mouse or use my finger with the touch screen it automatically then scrolls to the top of the page so that I have to use the arrow key on the keyboard to go back down to where I was. This is annoying.
2 AnswersYahoo Answers6 years agoWhy does Yahoo Answers use such small text box for typing in the answer?
Is it to encourage short answers? It makes it hard to see and edit your own answer when typing more than a few sentences.
1 AnswerYahoo Answers6 years agoWhy is there answers from years ago with no best answer all of a sudden?
When I do a keyword search for questions with no best answer under a topic I get answers from years ago. Whereas under the old system answers with no best answer were only a few days old.
2 AnswersYahoo Answers6 years agoHow do I make searches appear chronologically with the new system?
Custom searches (or commonly used searches) used to appear ordered by time. Now, when I make a custom search the answers are jumbled all over the place in time.
Also, searches that I make on my pc no longer work when I use my mobile device.
1 AnswerYahoo Answers6 years agoWhy was my answer deleted?
Someone asked why they changed to the new format for yahoo answers. And my answer at the time was,
"I don't know. I'm just trying to figure it out now. It seems more complicated."
This answer was awarded best answer. But then Y!A had it deleted and so I appealed since it seems obvious it must have been a mistake. Since there is nothing there that could possibly be offensive in that answer. And my appeal was rejected saying it was indeed a TOS violation. I don't understand this. I don't see anything wrong with that answer.
3 AnswersYahoo Answers6 years agoDo Mormons think their own church will fail?
Since they believe the church Jesus started in Jerusalem failed early on after the Apostles. And, Joseph Smith also claimed that Jesus started another church in South America after his Resurrection but this church also failed according to them. So with a track record of having all of Jesus' attempts at creating a church failing according to them then why do they think that their own church will not also fail? And, how do they know if it hasn't already? Since according to them Jesus allows his churches to fall away into apostasy and these churches don't even know that they have fallen away.
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoAtheists have you ever tried to prove that atheism is true?
It seems that all the evidence is on the side of theism. I mean theism has miracles, testimonies, history, etc. Not to mention most people believe in God. Whether you believe in these things like miracles or not they are in fact things that support theism. But, what evidence does atheism have going for it? It seems that it has no evidence that we can observe. The only thing you can do is to try to disprove all the evidence for theism and then say that atheism is somehow the default position as if it is a default position to believe the universe is uncaused or uncreated. It's almost as if to be an atheist you have to have faith in atheism since there is no evidence for it.
