Yes.

Ceremony. It doesn't need to be elaborate at all, but there does need to be an actual visual commitment between the folks involved. The Bible has MANY accounts of people whom aren't married having sex: both general consensual type and non-consensual type.

The guy in the video is actually an Evangelical whom targets believing "Mormons" & others in his proselytization efforts.

Such a relationship something you 100% need. And no, that doesn't equate to thinking every little thing is divine action/inaction, cause it's not. But Christ loves each individual, and died for each individual, and we should indeed have a person relationship with the one we call "Lord".

Neither: forgiveness is when you hand a person's judgement over to the Lord, and allow Him to fill that hurting wound with His healing. It doesn't mean you pretend nothing happened -- forgetting is not forgiving. But you allow Christ to heal your wounds. For serious wounds especially it can...

Tired :) There’s again huge variety. You need a lot of rest for sure. Some folks have a harder time than others. And the hormone roller coaster is real!!

Fourth pregnancy. ITs not a fun road, but we’ll worth it.

It’s very variable. Some have relatively smooth labors. Some like me it’s mind-shattering pain and screaming for hours.

Is there something specific you’d like to know @April_Rose ? (Written as my son kicks from in the womb)

Everyone besides Catholics are totally ok with condomns.

The Catholic teaching against condomns is a Catholic Church Holy Tradition thing. Other Christians groups don’t have issues with it, and most also don’t have issues with birth control pills either.

A person's growth and spiritual maturity. Learning compassion. Learning true joy. Learning perspective. Etc. Running with a personal example: in his early 30's my husband suddenly lost his eyesight. This was a source of hardship for him and our family -- lots of difficulties. But through...

How would somebody not make it through when it comes to God? Death? That's not the end. Suffering? Again, not the end. Loosing material goods? Totally not the end. Like my mother & the chicken pox, God's actions are ultimately for our good & we'll make it through better than before.

My mother knowingly & purposefully placed me into a situation where I would become sick and miserable. Yes, she knew I would make it through, and it would all be for my ultimate good. My Father in Heaven likewise knowingly & purposefully placed me into a situation where I would become sick...

Was my mom being cruel when she knowing exposed my 6 year old self chicken pox? No!! It’s a bigger picture.

And that question has been answered: yes Christians still suffer. From thier/others wrong deeds, random events, and yes acts of God. God is a good parent, one that encourages growth in His children, all things working to ultimate good. He sees the big picture that we do not.

When I was 6, my mom knowingly sent me to play with a kid whom had chicken pox, so that I would get infected, sick, and then develop that immunity. Was this evil of her? No! It was a caring parent whom sees the bigger picture than a little kid. God sees the much bigger picture.

One in the same. As any good parent knows, loving & teaching children does involve those children going through some hard times. In contrast, a poor parent whom instantly gives anything the second the kid asks for it is only raising an unhappy spoiled brat.

Sometimes: yes. The path of a Christian is that of a refiner's fire, not one of a pampered pool-side couch potato.

Following God is the path to the ultimate happiness. But that doesn't mean that there won't be pain points on the way there! Certainly, there will indeed be pain in life: pain from your/others wrong doings, pain for random events, trials placed by God, etc. Yes, God permits this, and...
