    So, who drives?

    I drive as little as possible. I go through maybe one tank of gas per month, and possibly part of a second tank. I absolutely HATE driving. I was 24 before I started driving and didn't want to do it then, but I had a highway between my home and work and had no other way of getting there.

    people not believing that Jesus died for them

    (Thunder1;28558) How are your scales? Your good deeds compared to bad deeds? Are you on your way to hell or heaven and how do you know? Have you repented your sins enough straight to God , when we take Jesus out of the picture? How do you know that you have repented enough? You might sin...

    Was Peter Pope???

    No, Peter was not a pope. Besides, he was married, and as far as I know the pope can't marry. Of course, I suppose that senseless rule could have come later.

    How to deal w/abuse?

    Kim, I had a very similar situation with my sorry-excuse-for-a-dad, and it affects me to this day at the age of 61. My mother was loving toward me but had blinders on where he was concerned. I'm afraid, though, that other than saying I know what you're going through, I can't help you since I...

    of the occult

    (Curious;28271) This is not the first time this has happened, it has recently come to light that a certain character was edited out of the first testament. Her name was lilith, the woman who was created simultaneously with Adam. Adam fell in love with lilith and tried to tame her, but failed...

    First post

    Welcome to the forums. However, I have no desire to debate the existence of God since it's a foregone conclusion that He is real. I see no need to try to prove something that is a fact.

    Atheist Looks to Remove 'Under God' From Pledge of Allegiance, Currency

    I wasn't told before-hand that prayer and Bibles would be banned from schools. However, I remember a high school teacher who started each day with prayer and Bible reading. While I was in the dining room of the school one day, a teacher came through pushing a metal cart. We were told to put all...

    saved by faith alone?????

    (Letsgofishing;28020) Ok a question for you how do you get past James 2: 24,2624You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone26As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.your brother in ChristRyan Fitz I prefer the King James. 2:24: "Ye see...

    saved by faith alone?????

    How do churches who say that works are a part of getting and staying saved get around Eph. 2:8,9? "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."? I assume they just ignore that.That very clearly says that...

    God's name used in vain

    I agree that using that phrase is the same as using God's name in vain. Our pastor told us that he hopes we never use it. I don't, but I hear it a LOT on TV, and sometimes a person uses it over and over and over. That's when I mute the TV; I love the mute button.

    Hello, a nosy "intruder" :)

    Welcome to the forums, Amira. I have no way of knowing what info you would want without questions to answer. I've been a born again Christian since May 18, 1963. I've been to Bible college and have served in every capacity in churches except that of pastor. In all that I've learned how little I...
