It is a difficult situation you were in. Nobody can tell you that you were right or wrong. Would the guy have listened if you or your husband had told him? In most cases of this type that I have run across most people won't listen to what you say to them - they blame you instead. Don't beat...

A lot of people have told me that it isn't correct. I find that the more I know and grow with God the more right it is. The only other thing I would add to it is that religion focuses on what we can't do and true Christianity focuses on what we can do.

(DONNIE;44109) I have read on here and really don't understand. When someone asks "are you religious" why would I say no? I know that I am a Christian but what really is the difference? How can I explain it to others?Donnie The way I had it explained to me when I was a new Christian was...

People pick and choose what they consider the best bits of religions because it is pleasing to them. They then have a religion that tells them how good they are, that they don't have to make personal changes, that the way they are living is fine. They are making a religion that is pleasing to...

(walking4him;44079) I just got into a debate with a friend about the King James version. She first was on me for using the New King James and she said how translations can be skewed for peoples own reasons. I said how I want to lean to read Greek so I can read at least the New testament in it's...

As has been stated don't let anyone push you into a particular version of the bible. I use the KJV and the MKJV but I do have other versions that I use also when studying. My children all used the 'Good News' version as it was the easiest for them to understand. The suggestion about the...

(walking4him;44022) Thanks for the advice. I just get so many conflicting messages about how to read/ study the Bible. Most times it's from people preachers who want me to follow/join their church. I have been reading and studying the bible for about 20 years now. I am no scholar just someone...

(kriss;43931) Dont confuse predestination and free will God predestined some to do certain things to bring about his plan the rest have free will to chose to love God or not, one is sentenced to death that is Satan. God offers grace to all Christ died for all, all have sinnedif free will didnt...

disorderedattraction I just wanted to come on and see how you were doing. You haven't posted for a little while so I was worried about how you were doing. Our emotions and feelings are not easy things to deal with at the best of times. I am praying for you. God bless you.

It looks good from the quick look I had. You seem to have most things covered in the forum.

(Faithful;43549) Under which part of Deut 5:8Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: is ridiculous. Angels are in heaven and earth are they not? An image does...

Thanks for the laugh Jon-Marc. My husband does but he has not got many as we just don't have the spare cash to buy to many. Faithful if you have only got it there as a pretty ornament then there is no problem. God will only be displeased with it if you make it an idol. God bless

(waynemlj;43534) Hi Nyoka,It sounds to me from your Reply that you and your husband and family are on a very good path. The way to stay on that path is to be reading and studying the Bible every single day, even when family life gets hectic. Your children learn from what they see their parents...

If we look at Heb 11:4 - Heb 11:39 it tells us of those who were saved from before the Holy Spirit was given. If the Holy Spirit has to be given to be saved how where they saved? The Holy Spirit was not given until the day of Pentecost. We know they where saved as the bible calls them...

Excuse me please if I am butting in here. I just had to say how wonderful it is to see such love and forgiveness between two Christians. Just lately all I seem to see is vindictive, judgmental Christians. You two have restored my faith in the fact that there are Christians out there that know...

My husband I have tried to do that. We try to keep looking at God first - sometimes we muck up a bit. God knows our hearts want Him and Him only so He has honored us for doing this. Part of what He has done for us in return is to honor us with material things. We don't look for the material...

Please realize I am not trying to judge you. I do understand that this love you have spoken of is very real. You asked a question and I was trying to answer it. I only put the example of my son in as I thought it may help you. You did not need to put who the anime character was as I never...

No. God loves you. May I ask how old you are? You sound like you may be in your teens. What you need to do is stop watching that anime and get out. Go see friends, read your bible, get some Christian support. This will work as my son had a similar thing happen and now he is completely over...

It is a very sad case. We have seen a few of these cases here in New Zealand. One thing the parents forget is God allowed doctors to have the knowledge they do for a reason. Praying for healing is fine but where needed it should be in co-operation with the doctors. Yes God can heal but He...

(Dukester;42994) When we see the sayings "live life to the fullest" or "you only have one life to live so have fun with no regrets" These sayings are not promoting God,instead they are promoting other things. I am going to focus on this specific thing I found."do what makes you happy.be with who...
