The Bible Salesman in Good Country People and the Misfit in A Good Man is Hard to Find both share some qualities of innocence at first glance. The Bible Salesman seems to be a good hearted young man working towards his noble mission of becoming a missionary spreading his Christian faith. The Misfit, openly not religious from the start unlike the Bible Salesman, yet seems good hearted when speaking of his upbringing with his parents however both of these men turn the table in both stories by showing they are not the slightest pure at heart. The Bible Salesman starts his journey of deception by innocently selling bibles to Mrs. Hopewell. However, The Misfit immediately showed off his dark nature with a gun by his side towards the family. With the Bible Salesman the reader is led to believe that this young man is harmless and simply in innocent love with Joy. The first mention of suspicious comment such as when he asks Joy where her wooden leg joins on is overlooked by his seemingly innocent nature of faith and kindness. The Misfit leaves readers in suspense in similar regard with him being open to the Grandmother about his life from a gospel singer to being in the arm service. In Good Country people, it’s questioning a man of good nature while in A Good Man is Hard to find, it’s questioning a man of bad nature. The Bible Salesman unlike the Misfit, for a large portion of the story shows off a kind personality where the Misfit seems from the start to have a troubled demeanor. Both hide their real identities under a pool of deception and the outcome of both stories reveals their ill will.
Both men in these stories set up a path of dialog and actions that makes us question their true motives. The Bible Salesman seems to place spreading faith as his first and foremost goal goes on to deceive and steal from Joy. The Misfit seems like a troubled man yet at first glance, it seems like he might have a good heart somewhere within him from his conversation with the Grandmother. Any good will we see in them is shattered toward the end of both stories with the unexpected. The Misfit murders the Grandmother heartlessly. The Bible Salesman steals the girls leg with no remorse. Both are revealed at end to be evil at heart. Improve it by… like say… Any sentences I didn’t word right? Is the title of the story supposed to be quoted? …….
Honest answers please. Be critical. Thank you.

I’m a 21 year old college student who is about to give up on everything. I can’t seem to find the girl for me. I have dated off and on but it all ends up badly. I have had 2 steady relationships in the past, and they happen to be step sisters. 1 my age the other 1 year younger. I dated the first one for 1 year and the other sister for almost 4 years- until we called it quits almost a year ago come December. It was devestating but instead of an relationship we had just became each others comfort zone. it didn’t help that she was also cheating on me. I seem to have alot of girl friends. I’m straight and a Christian, who wanted to wait untill marriage for sex, Although I did loose it last year to my last girlfriend of 4 years - nothing to brag about, I regret it now. As I thought she was the one, I gave her a promise ring for marriage and a very nice dinner on Valentines day 2008 but she didn’t even seem phased. I can’t help it, that I’m a big romantic. I made a 3 course dinner myself, lit tea light candles all over the house with fake rose petals, red pink balloons and a dozen real roses on the table for her. Along with some skittles-since that was her favorite candy and A couple movies I rented for us to watch afterwards- and then I gave her the ring afterwards. I went all out- and i love to do that kind of stuff for someone I care about. She really accepted me and it’s hard to find someone else who does now. See I’m from NC and where I live is in the middle of the country. I seem to think I’m an attractive guy, at least I hear by others. I seem to attract the wrong girls. They all love country music, hunting, rednecks etc… which ain’t me at all. I can’t find the right girl- i need some help. I’m a creative individual- graphic design student to be exact. Soe strange facts about me: I like rock, alternative music (mixes, tech, pop, etc…) I can’t stand rap country even though I can sometimes. I love my fourwheeler and my Jeep. I’m obsessed with Jeeps some reason. I like strange things.. Music: Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Bush, Sound Garden, Nickleback, Seether, Daughtry, Kings of Leon, etc.. I really like grunge music from the late 90’s and early 2000’s. I also like mainstream music. Movies: Final Destination’s, Cruel Intentions, American Beauty- (is awesome!), 30 days of night, twilight, 007, Jarhead, Day after tomorrow (really any horror, suspense, action or Comedy) Books- honestly I don’t read unless it’s for class at which I skim. More useless facts about me: I drive a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, A Moose is my favorite animal, I hate most normal sports except xtreme sports. (I can watch motocross, bmx, snow boarding, etcc… all day), I like strange things- I pay attention to details and things most other people wont notice, I’m very insecure and quite at times, I always put myself down, I am dedicated and loyal, romantic, only child, nervous for the future, goal oriented, Rollercoasters are awesome!, I LOVElt;lt;lt; to travel, anytime, anyway Im there. -If I can afford it, ha! -wonderful world of being a broke college student, I daydream all the time, I love japenese food, I think girls are attractive who don;t put themselves out there for everyone, I like a mysterious girl such as I am -myself, I like going to the movies and out on the town but I’m always up for staying in and spending time just together. I don’t do the whole party scene, no drinking etc… (IM SORRY FOR THIS SOUNDING LIKE A PERSONAL PROFILE) Im just tired of looking for that girl _ I hope she comes around one day. I hoped these useless facts about myself would help catch someones attention. There is alot more about me, as anyone, that I just dont have time to provide. All my friends that are girls seem to see me as just friends -which sucks b/c a couple I find very attractive but I have known them for years and they have b/f’s off and on. I need help and advice. Is this girl oput there for me? I’m gradutaing college soon as Im a senior and I want to find this girl and start a life together (future, marriage, eventually kids, etc… the whole 9 yards) - any advice or help guys?
thanks guys for the positive feedback and yes…it does seem like a essay -it’s LONG, sorry- I needed to get it all out there… thanks for taking the time to read it.

my soul is in a pleasant place
my heart beats at a slow place
good graces
peace amoungst men races
familiar faces
bind with the similar places
chilled, relaxed, stoned and dazed
the cows graze
and people run around in society
like rats in a maze
the children play, all colours exept grey
feel the bass lose the hate
pass the spliff to your mate
realize there is no such thing as reality
its getting late, its half eleven
its as if iv’e died and gone to heaven
maybe Devon, or Spain
no more pain, love i gain
people are all the same
politicians talk of money,
second homes, fortune and fame
the birds sing
the bliss of a concrete jungle sunrise
a light breeze sweeps through the poor estates
the wind rises and dies
not a lot of thugs say this
but im admiring the moment
sitting in my room chilling to miles davis
i love to watch my ciggerette smoke
settle in midair
reminds me of a free spirit
i write my life story without writing a lyric
my soul is in suspense
trying to make a Quid outta 50 pence
all good things must come to an end
until then take in the message i send
the truth i told was silenced sometimes
but who’s soul does not
hide any crimes?
i sometimes get lost in my own rhymes
read between the lines
love and hate binds
how can u explain colour 2 a man born blind?
lost to escapism
thats my therory on racism
a poet in love reaches the hearts of many
islam, christian, white or black
life is full of suprises with feeling slacked
we are all the same colour underneath
the same air we breath
and we all got tricks under our sleaves
most of all we are human
and content for one another
is the one thing we all have to open our eyes to see

ok could you give me a list of good christian teen books (fiction). i just read The Last Thing I Remember and i have to wait for the next book. but while i wait i want to read another book. i like simple reads but i also like the action/suspense. Ted Dekker is to hard for me to understand lol. What you think?

By far, the greatest number of prophecies in the Bible concern the nation of Israel. In fact, many have said that if you want to know what time it is on God’s clock, then look at the nation of Israel, for she shall be the center of attention in the fulfillment of Bible prophecies in these last days. Today we live in an age when the entire focus of the world is upon a tiny strip of land in the Middle East called Israel. So lets have a look at what Bible prophecy says about this nation. 1. Disobedience would lead to the nation of Israel being scattered amongst all nations.
Deut 28:64 ‘Then the LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other.’ See also Lev 26:33, Jer 9:16, Ezek 12:15. In all, 6 different books of the Bible predict the scattering of Israel amongst all the nations of the earth. History records this being fulfilled in 70 AD when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman Empire and the remaining Jews were scattered amongst the nations. 2. No rest for their souls while in exile amongst the nations
Deut 28:65-66 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life.
For nearly 2000 years following the destruction in 70AD, the ‘wandering Jew’ has lived without a homeland, subject to the strongest racial prejudice and torment suffered by any people group. From the day they were scattered to the day Hitler devised his ‘final solution to the Jewish problem’, this prophecy spoken by Moses has sadly been fulfilled. 3. God himself would restore the Jews to the land of Israel from all the nations
Jer 16:14-16 However, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when men will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ but they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ For I will restore them to the land I gave their forefathers.
In all, 13 books of the Bible speak of the nation of Israel being restored in their land from the nations in which they were scattered. This prophecy became history in 1948 when the United Nations granted a homeland to the Jewish people and the nation of Israel was reborn! See also Jer 3:14, 31:8-9, Isa 60:8-9, Deut 30:3, Amos 9:15. 4. The desolate land of Israel would again blossom and be fruitful in the last days.
Zech 7:14 I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land was left so desolate behind them that no one could come or go. This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.
History records that while the Jewish people were exiled amongst many nations, the land of Israel was a barren desert. See also Lev 26:14, Ezek 15:8, Jer 9:12-13, 23:10, 44:22, Isa 32:13 Isa 27:6 In the days to come, Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill the world with fruit.
This is exactly the case today! Not only has God bought the Jewish people back into their land like He said He would in the last days, but He has also blessed the land so that they now export flowers and fruit around the world! Satellite photos show the green pastures of the nation of Israel, in sharp contrast with the surrounding desert lands of the Arab nations. See also Isa 35:1, Ezek 36:35. 5. God Himself would defend Israel and cause Israel to be mighty in battle
Zech 12:8 On that day the LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the LORD going before them.
Taken in context, this verse speaks about God defending Israel in a battle to come in the last days. Have we not seen this miraculously occur several times since Israel became a nation again in 1948. They have been greatly outnumbered in key Arab-Israeli wars in 1948, 1967, and 1973. Yet Israel exists! God has seen to that! 6. In the last days, Jerusalem would be a burden to the entire world.
Zech 12:2-3 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about… And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces.
Turn on your TV and watch the news. What nation and what city would you most likely expect to see? Israel and Jerusalem! Today, Jerusalem is a burden that causes trembling for all the nations just as God foretold. What makes this prophecy even more remarkable is that when the prophet Zechariah spoke these words around 520BC, Jerusalem lay in ruins. But God said it would become the focus of the world’s attention! Today, Israel has 0.01% of the worlds population, yet 33% of the United Nations resolutions have been passed concerning her! 7. In the end, all nations shall come against Israel.
Zech 14:2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.
Apart from the USA, Israel has few allies. In a recent conference on racism in South Africa, the Israeli and United States delegates were forced to walk out as the other participating nations vented their anger towards Israel and tried to declare it a racist state. One day, the Bible predicts, she will have no allies, and all nations shall be gathered against her. The TV news will show you that we are on the road towards that battle. But if the odds seem a little uneven, please read the next prophecy that the Bible predicts… 8. God Himself, Jesus Christ, will return and fight for Israel against the attacking nations.
Zech 14:3-4 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.
You may have heard of this battle to come. It’s called the battle of Armageddon because of the location where the nations assemble themselves before attacking. The book of Revelation puts it like this…
Rev 16:14-16 They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty… Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
Revelation also prophecies the return of Jesus Christ on this day saying…
Rev 19:11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 9. The nation of Israel will finally recognize that Jesus was their Messiah, whom they crucified!
Zech 12:9-10 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem. And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
What a day that will be! Even though the Bible predicted that the Messiah would die, and have His feet and hands pierced, the nation of Israel has, for the last 2000 years, hardened their heart and not believed that Jesus was their Messiah. At the time of the end, they will again look to the one whom they pierced and oh how great the mourning and sadness will be on that day for what they did! Yet Jesus will pour out His grace upon Israel! 10. God will judge the nations depending upon their treatment of the Jewish people.
Joel 1:1-2 In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. Today we live in an age where we hear all the time about a ‘Middle-East peace process’. It essentially comes down to ‘Israel give up more of your land and we won’t send as many suicide bombers into your cities…’ It seems everyone wants a slice of Jerusalem for themselves. For this, and the world’s repeated and continual abysmal treatment of the Jewish people, the judgment of God will come. These prophecies are not vague like Nostradamus or modern day ’so-called’ psychics. They are detailed and specific in their application. Time and space does not permit us to go into the many other prophecies concerning the nation of Israel. Yet such things as a false peace, the rebuilding of the third Jewish temple, and a coming great persecution of the Jewish people under a world leader have all been prophesied. It will all take place because God has said it.

I’m Christian as well. Just thought this was interesting. We are also God’s people, but the prophecy that surrounds Israel is coming true, what are your thoughts on this?

It’s in John Chapter 10, verse 22 through 42. The feast of the Dedication* was then taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter. And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon.* So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, How long are you going to keep us in suspense?* If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you* and you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify to me. But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,* and no one can take them out of the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one. The Jews again picked up rocks to stone him. Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me? The Jews answered him, We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said You are gods? If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and scripture cannot be set aside, can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated* and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me; but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize [and understand] that the Father is in me and I am in the Father. [Then] they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power. He went back across the Jordan to the place where John first baptized, and there he remained. Many came to him and said, John performed no sign,* but everything John said about this man was true. And many there began to believe in him. You will find the Feast of Dedication in the first or second book of Maccabees. You will also find the communion of saints in second book of Maccabees and these other readings as well; Romans chapter 12 verse 4 and 5, John chapter 17 verse 22-23, John chapter 15 verse 1-15, and Eph. chapter 2 verse 13 through 16. in the part where Martin Luther took those 7 books out he had the protestants call these the 400 silent years and they were nothing but nonslience; Wars between Alexander the Great for the Holy City and making all the Jews speak and read Greek and trying to take their or our religion away. Wars and more Wars were fought. Then in James is where Martin Luther placed himself; faith alone will save you that is totally false put that in search and it will come up, faith with out works is dead and will not save you.Sola Scriptora is Scripture alone will save you too; that is false; the Protestant faith is unfinished Cannon and a Unfinished cannon is nothing. Cannon is a set of Laws and their law is unfinished.
Yea, Can you not read Big Black Letters? Then Read at the Bottom on where to find the answer.

You don’t have to read the whole thing, the part in all capitols is what is important John 10:24-30 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV) 24The Jews gathered around him, saying, How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ,[a] tell us plainly. 25Jesus answered, I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father’s name speak for me, 26but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. 29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[b]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE. Basically if keep on saying Jesus and God are different from each other I will just put you in the same category as those who believe int he lock ness monster.
Hey ray, actually the literal interpretation of a Christian is follower of Christ but your work just as well

Every day, this category sees about a hundred questions along the lines of CHRISTIANS: How can you believe…, followed by ATHEISTS: How do you explain…. My question is, does anyone really think that there is another way of asking Why don’t you agree with me? which has not already been asked, and which will lead to some kind of meaninful conclusion? If so, please go ahead and ask it now. The suspense is killing me.

I’M AFRICAN AMERICAN AND I’M THINKING A WHITE GUY IS INTERESTED IN THIS SISTA. HE KEEPS TOUCHING ME NOT SEXUALLY, DIRTY MINDERS. THIS WOULD BE MY VERY FIRST INTERRACIAL DATING EXPERIENCE. HE WAS MY MUSIC TUTOR FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. IF ANYONE HAS THE SAME EXPERIENCE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME MUCH NEEDED INPUT ON THIS SUBJECT AND PLEASE PLAY NICE BOYS AND GIRLS. PLEASE DO NOT BE SHY TO ASK ME TO BE MORE SPECIFIC IF NEED BE. I DON’T THINK ANYONE WILL ANSWER ME SERIOUSLY ANYWAYS. OH THE SUSPENSE!! LOL
