There is no point. But it sounded better than "listen up people, to the Bible as Son of Man proclaims it to be...all else is but folly and shall be ridiculed and declared false by no reason or proof but that I say I'm right and you're wrong....nee nah nee nah"....

You know, most advice offered may not be all that helpful, simply because we don't know the people involved or the situation. But I can say that I'm sorry that you're hurting. It's obvious that you are, and no...it's not unreasonable for you to want your wife's support and consideration....one...

Hey Dragonfly! No, I don't believe they come from my new heart either...don't think I implied that I did. My new heart shies away from such things and wants them gone. It's my new heart (and the holy spirit) that makes me aware such things are not good or godly, and to grow away from them. My...

See...homosexuals use that excuse to show that their feelings are 'natural'. But honestly, it just doesn't hold water. Yeah, they probably were born that way, we're all born sinful with a broken nature. But that does not give us any excuse for it....sin is sin, we need Jesus, and we need to repent.

I think it's a really tough question, with lots of grey area, simply because every single person is different, and their walk with Jesus is in different places. All I can definitively give you, is what the bible talks about, and my own personal experience. Despite what Xian said above...

I don't actually know! It's usually 3 and your out, I think, but I have seen people with 3 still around. I think it depends on what the warning points were given for...whether it was just a tsk, tsk....or if was a jaw drop....point towards the door kind of thing!! And I don't know if they're...

You know....I find that strangely picky. Clearly you missed my point...which was that people can say they're saved for all their worth, but if they consciously and deliberate sin, they are showing their fruit. Now, if you want to get picky....sure...maybe (and that's a really big maybe) you...

Ahh...yeah....that's what the bible teaches. It's not talking about...going out and stealing something then saying 'sorry God'...then verbally abusing someone and saying afterwards 'sorry God'...then going home to your live in girlfriend/boyfriend, whom you are not married to, sleeping with...

Probably. I suspect we'll be judged for everything...even the things that seem 'good' to us. I'm not saying that abortion is 'right' in any circumstances, I'm saying that at times it is necessary to save life (I know that sounds stupid, considering abortion takes life...but at times its as...

Hey Strat. I'm not sure if the bible speaks directly about abortion, but it does say that children are blessings, and that from the moment of conception they are a real person, fore-known and loved by God. This would imply, to me, that people who want an abortion because a child 'is not...

Abortion is one of those topics that starts wars...and I understand why. It's murder, plain and simple. The problem comes, I think, when there arises the very rare but real reasons for it. I was so sick in my first pregnancy that they told me that if I didn't consider abortion, I would likely...

Nice post Veteran...agreed. But I still believe that despite the need to do just that, we can and should do so in patience and love. I think too often people think that because we're "loving" that we're push overs. Love does not bend...it is sturdy and sure...it's just not rude and mean, that's...

Do you really think all Christian love shall be gone soon Rocky? Granted none of us are perfect, but I see so much warmth, love and charity around me that I can't help but feel you may be mistaken. I know that modern society does lean toward materialism, but every single generation has had their...

Hi Eltanin. Yes, there does seem to be a lot of that going around! I don't approve of it, but I must confess, much of it I understand. The heart of the matter comes down to a person's belief or faith....which lets face it, regardless what it is, it's intensely personal and foundational...we see...

I saw a man leap up in the middle of a sermon and yell at the pastor "that's bull...!" Apparently he didn't like what he was hearing! I know him, and it's a shame he never came back...he really, really needed to hear that truth. I must confess amazement at those phoney 'spirit movers'....man, I...

Hey BA...I agree with you here....I believe the bible supports the position that one cannot come to to the Father, unless drawn. The whole idea about the gospel of grace is that all glory goes to God...if we could claim we came to God ourselves, knowing our need for him, that is something we...

I really wasn't going to give a long winded reply to your post...I simply could have stated I disagreed with everything and couldn't see biblical proof for a single thing you said... But had I been considering attempting to reason with you...the above would have disabused me of the idea. You...

Thanks!

Nice....very, very nice! The thing with the law is this....it allows a measure of glory to be given to oneself..."I kept it, yay to me!" This is not what the gospel of grace teaches...it teaches that ALL glory is to be given to Jesus...as you say, he was the one living the perfect life...he was...

Gentlemen, take the discussion of names elsewhere, or I will be forced to close this thread...which let's face it, would be very rude for the person who began it in the hope of real conversation.
