I wanted to marry young to a strong Christian. Bonus if he wanted to be a pastor. My husband's not a pastor but he is a strong believer. I had just turned 20 when we married. He was 19. I did not actually care about college or a career in education or IT. I just thought I had to do that to be...

I appreciate this. I'd say that God can deliver us from sinning in a supernatural and profound way where it becomes effortless to walk in the Spirit. Addictions can break in an instant through the Holy Spirit. I also believe we can overcome sin by a slower, more consistant abiding in Christ...

In topics concerning salvation, there are plenty of people who aren't willing to be wrong or be corrected. You can post Scriptures that say something clearly, and they will simply dodge it or find a way to make it back up what they already believe. I'm trying to get away from just assuming...

Late to the party, but glad I'm here!

Works don't save. But saved faith does work. Does Scripture ever use the term "faith alone"?

I don't mind. If you're new to the forum, welcome. The theology and worldview discussions came first with my husband and I. I was trying to friend zone him but I also assumed he was already a Christian by mistake, or I wouldn't have been so open. He said I was the first Christian to not...

Will think about this more.

Wait, we are new creations in Christ. We aren't led by carnal flesh anymore. We are slaves to either righteousness or the flesh. But you don't carry sin in your flesh as a believer. We were supposed to crucify the old man and reckon ourselves dead to sin at our baptism (Romans 6). Everyone has...

1 John 1:8 doesn't mean we are never without sin at any point in our lives. John counseled Christians to not sin at least eight times in the book of 1 John alone. Here's one 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate...

Well said.

I avoid the news as much as possible in part because I hear about important things anyway. Gen Z (ages 18-29) men are increasingly holding conservative views about dating and gender roles in particular while women are still very liberal. Im going to link some articles and a video just to...

Are you thinking of Titus 2:3-5? Titus 2:3-5 King James Version 3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love...

Thank you so much! On here, Ive never seen you post a mean sentence! I've definitely been frustrated with my husband in the past about not liking churches Ive liked and not being spiritual enough in my eyes. I have had times where Ive attempted to be his Holy Spirit and nag him into acting more...

I did.

Today, Ill be sharing a foolproof plan to becoming a well respected but mean church lady. You will need the right kind of church but don't worry about uncomfortable things like self-examination. Step One: Find a church with plenty of ways to serve and get plugged in as long as they're the...

Check this out A woman in this video says being a housewife is no kind of reward. It's a job. Being a woman of liesure is a reward. Aside of from how silly it is to aspire to be like a pet and expect everything for nothing, I do think the honesty makes for some interesting points. I think...

I don't believe its my calling to instruct believers on most doctrinal issues or defend truth. But that doesn't mean I can't share examples of qualified men doing so. Alan Ballou doesn't seem to say much about himself but it appears he has memorized the entire New Testament. All of his...

It can get confusing. Women within the waves had big disagreements too. For example, a lot of feminists from the 60s and onward support women as sex workers and in the porn industry. But a lot of them say both are exploitation and objectification. I never really got the bra burning thing...

We had that here too in the 60's. Feminism is modern, but there are older flavors too. I tend to think of the 60's as the "second wave". Our first wave in the U.S was in the 1890 to the 1920's. I am familiar with 5 waves existing to date. My teenage sister-in-law says were in the 5th wave, but...
