    Best Bible Software Program

    Thanks. I bookmarked the Blue Letter Bible one after trying it and finding it much easier to use than E-Sword. I don't know why they had to make E-Sword harder to use. I did manage to figure out the E-Sword one and might keep it, but I'll try the Blue Letter one. I have Strong's Concordance, but...

    House defeats bill to ban gender-based abortions

    It won't end until God puts and end to it all. The unborn who are unwanted can be "aborted"--a euphemism for murder. If it's the "wrong" gender, just have it "aborted". If a woman gets unexpectedly pregnant and doesn't want to be, she can just simply have it "aborted". Many people get so upset...

    Testing Faith With Snakes

    Handling deadly snakes is not faith but foolishness. Nowhere in scripture does God command us to handle snakes during a church service to prove our faith. He told the disciples as they were being sent out to witness that if they did encounter poisonous snakes, they would not be harmed. How many...

    Texas Father Kills His Daughter's Rapist's...Should He Be Punished ?

    Do we forgive the unrepentent? Isn't forgiving those who don't seek forgiveness the same as condoning what they do? God can and will forgive any who seek His forgiveness in shame and repentence, but an unrepentent soul does not receive God's forgiveness. The father who killed his daughter's...

    Best Bible Software Program

    I used to like E-Sword, but it's changed and has gotten to complicated for me to work. I need something for simple people like me that I can use in forums and need it to be free. Any suggestions?

    Important: Regarding The Drastic Rise In Ufo Sightings

    Visitors from outer space (like ghosts) are the work of Satan and his fallen angels (evil spirits). They are used for the purpose of deceiving the gullible.

    Foods that you might have to be forgiven for.

    In my opinion, chocolate is absolutely the best tasting food in existence.

    How old is everyone here?

    I've been 39 since 1985.

    Your wife is about to labor, Doc says death for mother is imminent unless abort the baby. Poll

    The decision to abort (murder) the unborn baby should be left up to the mother-to-be since it's her life in danger. It could be a test of faith from God--like God telling Abraham to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. However, what if she is unconscious and unable to make that decision? I would then...

    Bragging

    Yes, Shirley, it is not about what we are doing but what God can and is doing.

    How Did You Come To Know The Lord ?

    I'll try to give you the shortened version, but I need to give you a little history first. Thanks to an abusive dad, I grew up shy and withdrawn and had no friends. Thanks to my dad, I had a sever stutter because of m y fear of him. When I was 16, I met a 15-year-old boy who was a Christian who...

    666

    Am I just strange, or is anyone like me? I have a phobia about the number 666 and won't use it for any reason. When I was looking online for homes, I came across one I really liked until I saw the number on the house--666. I reluctantly ignored that one. I know as a born again Christian who is...

    Texas Father Kills His Daughter's Rapist's...Should He Be Punished ?

    I don't believe he should be punished, for he got real justice for his daughter. Even if they could have been caught and convicted, they would be out in a few years and raping someone else--maybe killing so as not to leave a witness. In my opinion, the only real justice for rapists, pedophiles...

    Races?

    I don't think of people of different countries as being of another race but of a different nationality. We are all of the human race--regardless of our nationality. I am several nationalities--four to be exact. I believe that the different nationalities and languages began at the tower of Babel...

    Requirements

    First requirement: Acknowledging that "I am a sinner and lost in my sins." Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Second requirement: Realizing that we cannot save ourselves by works and that salvation comes only by God's grace through faith. Ephesians 2:8,9...

    When Our Loved One's Die, They Do Not Become Our Guardian Angels

    I have no doubt that we all have our guardian angel, but that angel isn't our deceased mother or whoever as some believe.

    Discussion vs. Debate

    Too often, debating turns into arguing and name calling--as well as questioning another person's Christianity because they disagreed with someone. Forums like this one are supposedly for the purpose of discussing the word of God and its meaning. Too many have the disallusioned belief that they...
