I think everything has better solutions and worse solutions. Self defence is good if it really does involve only defending something that God wants to keep whole. Most "self-defence" fights aren't out of self-defence though. Instead they're based on injured pride. I think "self-defence" for...

thank you both, very much

Yep, I agree. Thanks for responding. I've just been realizing my own excuses based on technical "reasons" to think certian things are okay. I only struggle with the useful and expensive software, otherwise I'd feel too bad to keep it or just gladly fork over the $10 to $100 for the legal...

(Jackie D;42175) I don't have quick time...can you upload it onto media? Try right-clicking the link and using the "Save Target as..." command. Then you should be able to open it with any media player, once it's saved. Thanks for being interested

(Jackie D;42170) and it was quite good, I really liked it zail Well, thank you I put a lot of thought into the whole contrast idea when I wrote this song. Maybe you'll enjoy it too... http://www.righteyed.com/music/2007/contrast2.mp3 :music:

I know your question was answered a long time ago... but... God allowing sin into our world is just another one of the "laws of contrast":-Hunger pains make a meal seam wonderous-Rest is the only solution for a tired body-Being busy all week makes the weekend much more fun-It gets cold outside...

Sorry to hear that. I'll be praying for you (seriously). I dunno, maybe the Lord will give you a fresh hope and perspective. I have a brother in the same place right now (separated, disconnected from his family, unhealthy, stuck in a hard job, depressed, lonely, etc.). I think what he's decided...

bump... I'm really curious about this study. Does anyone have something more to add? Are we supposed to follow the Law of the Old Testement, or is it just a reference?

oohhhhhh yeah, I feel ya. Another question along with yours: What if "worship" was only done by interpretive dance in today's church? There'd be a whole lot of us that look pretty "unholy" (or whatever). I think music is only used for worship because A) it's so expressive and feel-good and...

Exactly, God's Word remains regardless of others' sins; even more so. We still have the choice to obey Him. He gave us His Word so we can know how to respond in the midst of corruption... not how to judge and ignore it for the sake of stealing from musicians. On the other hand, there are still...

You have faith when you hope... …kinda like you have food when you're hungry.... …or maybe more like you go to a restaurant and place an order when you're hungry. With faith, you may not have the "food" yet, but opposed to hope, you've actually made the decision and internalized the outcome of...

(Alanforchrist;41517) There is about nine sctiptures in the Bible, that says, "God is no respecter of people". That means if Jesus did it for the leper, He will do it for you. He is no respecter of persons, but that doesn't mean He definitly will do for us what he has done for any other...

Oh okay... I didn't understand which direction you were going with this at first. Yeah, I see what you're saying now. I like your approach. Here's my theory: A Jewish day goes from sunset to sunset. Night is before day. So... maybe keeping that in mind gives us a different approach to the...

I like the "Jonah-sign" Christ gave us. I guess if He died on the day before Sabbath and was raised from the dead on the 3rd day, He'd have to have been raised on the day we call "Sunday". Just guessing. I never really studied that. At the same time, I think some "Easter SUN-day" aspects of His...

I'm looking forward to hearing God speak through you then.

Major props for battling this thing out. Don't give up your convictions. I've been through the fight myself. It's rewarding to get to the place where you know you're disciplined enough to only fall out of selfish feelings instead of out of habit. As long as something feels good for a moment...

The word meditate exists 14 times in the KJV Bible (Most of which are in Psalm). Another key verse to support this practice is Paul writing to Timothy: "Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all." (1 Tim. 4:15) Meditation is an act that helps...

(kriss;41415) There is a difference between Laws and ordances, and stautes you need to understand that I want to understand that. You don't happen to have a scripture-based explanation of that do you? Reason being, every time I've heared "The Law" referred to in the New Testament, I've...

(DONNIE;41406) I practice "nothingness" meditation. Catch and release random thoughts. Clear the mind. It is wonderful. Donnie You're right Donnie. After all the thoughts come and go, the mind really becomes clear and at peace. Actually, this is how you "get into" meditating on something...

Matthew 5:17-19 "17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break...
