Paul's thorn is found in 2Co 12:7-12:9. It doesn't say what his 'thorn' was so anything we think it was would only be a guess. Read it in context of the whole chapter and it might give you more insight. I have never studied it so I can't be much help sorry. I use Esword and Sword Bible for...

If you deny His words you do deny Him. It doesn't matter what sex you think He should be either, what Jesus says on it is all that matters. Jesus was a male, the bible refers to the Holy Spirit as male and to God as male therefore we should pray to the 'Father'. Not some goddess and not some...

IMHO John 13:34-35 tells us how to know we are His: I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. As I have loved you, you should also love one another. By this all shall know that you are My disciples, if you have love toward one another. It doesn't say if 'if we agree with them or...

(kriss;44901) Do I need to put an "PG" rating on this thread Looks possible the way it is going.

(tim_from_pa;44888) I'll tell the rest of the story. Later on, Bob's kids all grew up and left. His wife was not really very friendly with him and left him to himself. However, he had a dog that loved him and was his best friend. One day, Bob said to his wife, "Ya know honey, sometimes a man...

(Jerusalem Junkie;44864) If I had been him I would have found another alternative such as becoming a monk a lot less painful huh......... Heaps less painful. All I could think was "ouch".

I like it.

(kriss;44800) remember tooInvolved there is a difference between forgiving and forgetting you will never forget and God understands that but forgiveness in your your heart is another thing you forgive so you can put this behind you but to forget would be impossable. You dont have to tell him you...

(TooInvolved1;44773) You guys are right! I don't think it was coincidence! And I do need to forgive him. When he called after me, it almost made me sick. I have sent you a PM. My heart goes out to you. I know exactly where you are at as I have been there. I am praying for you. :pray3: I wish...

(Mikey;44687) When you read the Bible is it in intense long periods of reading for a few weeks and then...hardly any at all for a few weeks? This is the way I seem to read the Bible. I will get this big urge to read a lot, then after several days my head will start to hurt. Maybe just from...

I don't believe that all guys go round wanting to rape/abuse woman. Most guys are decent men who abhor this sort of thing. The individuals that do this sort of thing are just really mucked up in their thinking - I actually feel sorry for them. RaddSpencer don't worry that you can't relate to...

(RaddSpencer;44495) Sounds like you have rotten luck with guys. I don't really understand the part about "take advantage of my weakness" stuff. However, what this guy did doesn't sound very Christian to me. Maybe you need to move or something -- find a town with better guys. Sounds like you are...

I do have a red letter version amongst my bibles. It is no better or worse than the others. How I find it helpful is if I want to find something Jesus said then it is easy to find in it, then I can study out the verse from there. My main bible is not a red letter version though.

(TooInvolved1;44379) In college a guy I was casually seeing physically abused me. Another guy proceeded to take advantage of my weakness at that time. That was 10 years ago and about three hours away from where I now live. The second guy was from the Bronx or something, IOW far far away. Guess...

A Christian should also be a 'Christ follower.' In John a follower of Christ was a disciple and someone who followed His commandments of love: Mat 22:37, Mat 22:39, Joh 13:34- 35, Joh 14:15, Joh 14:21. There are many other verses like these. There is a new idea that Christianity equals...

(desertdude;36377) Fryo I have been asking chirstians for some time the EXCACT same thing ,and no one has been able to offer a logical explination for any of this ,Let alone no one has been able to logically explain the trinity the concept of 1=3 or 3=1 .The best explinations have been some...

walking4him I had a similar experience when I first turned to God. I was given a bible by a friend and took it home and started reading it. When another friend visited and saw me reading it she promptly took it off me. She gave me her bible instead, KJV, and told me that I had been given a JW...

(zozephin;44192) True christianity is in our hearts..and all the people can see what the word Christian means:LOVE God,Jesus Christ,your fellow being ,yourself (it means many many things that i can't describe with words...only with feelings )) Take care((Sorry for my bad english it is not my...

(kriss;44147) guess Nyoka and I are thinking on the same lines today:) Looks like it kriss. haanne you have been given some good advice. Please don't be so hard on yourself. You have nothing to blame yourself for.

(kriss;44169) We just did some threads on this not long ago and I agree with you. In the old days they used sacrafice, a type of Christ (to come), but it only covered up the sins until Christ could die. Christ could promise this thief forgivenessto be given after he legally took his seat at the...
