Welcome to the forums.

I cannot possibly understand what a person with an addiction that I've never had is going through. Nor could I help them as well as someone who has gone through it and been victorious over it. I know how to speak to someone who has lost a loved one since I have. I know how to speak to a man who...

If Peter was the first pope, then why don't the pope or priests marry? Peter was married since it mentions his mother-in-law in Matthew 8:14.And, yes, Jesus is God, but that still does not make her the mother of God, but a woman who was blessed among all women because of bearing the son of God.

I don't think either of those answers applies. Why does it have to be a choice of not trying to help, or trying to help and end up getting back into it yourself? If by the grace of God you've gotten the victory over a sin or problem, is God not capable of giving you the grace to resist getting...

The question is--is satan capable of raising the dead? If not, and it happened, then wouldn't it have to be of God? Satan isn't omnipotent, but he is powerful, but how powerful is he?

(Wakka;24757) For this fellow, his *ticks* included foul language and obscene phrases. Normal people don't go on with these phrases constantly in their subconscious. So, it could have come from a demonic influence. I've known several people (both genders) whose language was/is so atrocious and...

My first wife committed adultery all though our 5 years of being together. She finally told me to my face, "I WON'T change!" That was when I gave up. Why should I be expected to stay with an adulterous, unrepentant woman who saw nothing wrong with what she was doing?My second marriage was...

We don't "spit on her". We just don't worship her. She was an instrument that God used to bring His Son into the world, although He could have done it without her. However, Catholics (and apparently some others) place TOO much importance on her. Mary was said to be "blessed above all women" in...

It is impossible to honestly say what one would do in any situation until you're in it. I seriously doubt I would jump overboard--not because of the fear of death since I'm born again, but because of my phobia about now being able to breathe. I also doubt I could throw someone overboard while...

I only speak one language--English, and that's the only language in which I will pray.

Since I did as Jesus said and was born again (spiritual birth), I have no need to worry. I may not know what the future holds, but I know God holds the future. 1 John 5:13 says, "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have...

Dunamite,If you can only see the word "touch" as meaning an actual physical touch, then no, God doesn't touch anyone any more--if He ever did. However, Jesus is God, and He physically touched a lot of people for healing.A touch can be emotional or spiritual as well as physical. The word "touch"...

Welcome to the Board, Justin. It's good to see someone your age who desires to follow the Lord. Most your age have other things that catch their interest, and God doesn't enter into the picture for them.I have been born again for 44 and a half years, and it hasn't been an easy road. I've failed...

I have absolutely no idea what a soul or a spirit is. One is the life of the body. One is everything that we are, think and believe. One has a knowledge of a Supreme Being that we call God. Animals don't have that knowledge. Some animals have emotions like we do. They certainly have life, but...

(BroDave;23342) Of course we are saved before we heard the gospel. Our names were written in the Lamb's Book of Life BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. That's good enough for me.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Then calling on the lord is just a formality that really isn't necessary? If I was saved when...

(Shelli;23692) Has Jesus physically touched you? You seem to want to take this idea of "touching" too literally. I have been "touched" by other people many times, although they never once touched me physically. They had a very emotional and/or spiritual impact on meOne person who really...

Welcome to the Board.

Hi Megan. Welcome to the Board. I have a granddaughter whose name is spelled Meagan.

I certainly hope not since I'm allergic to them. Oh yeah, that's right, I won't have any allergies there. OK, I certainly hope they ARE there. I love dogs. I don't believe God will deprive us of anything that is not sinful in heaven since He will want us to be happy. Dogs make most people...

(Shelli;23619) Jon,What is worth believing: God's disclosure of Himself through Jesus and His written Word, or your opinion which is not shown in God's Word?Shelli. I'm not entitled to have an opinion? You're welcome to do as others do and ignore anything I write. In any case, Jesus Christ (Who...
