Again, thank you all for your fantastic replies. It means a lot to me personally that you would take the time to read this thread and offer advice, and especially prayers. So thank you! znr: We know the teachers she worked with didn't want her there because: The first teacher actually told...

Hi all, Thanks for replying. Let me answer some questions that have come up. When I say final stages of her MA, I mean she'll be done by the end of this year. She is not teaching yet, she was a teacher's aid for one year. During that time, she fell in love with working with children. She got...

Hi all, I'll try to be brief. My wife is in the final stages of earning her MA in Elementary Ed. However, it has been a very, very hard program for her and for our family. Long story short: I believe that my wife has the spiritual gift of teaching. She can relate to children in a way that...

Well Sir, I'm no expert on matters of religion and I'm not any sort of intelligent on how God works. That being said... Sounds like a wakeup call to me. I am not going to tell you why it wasn't God, because God works in what ways He will. If He audibly spoke to you, count yourself among the...

Why don't people know their roots? Well, forgetfullness comes to mind. I don't know my history past 4 generations. To go back to the first human, that's a long time. Nobody wrote things down for a while either. So, there's a practical approach to the question. A supernatural approach might be...

Isn't the simplest answer "why not?" Love, which is the greatest gift to the world, should never have to be justified. What should be justified is a person's decision to not love. Hence my answer, why not?

I'm sorry, but I'd have to say no. However, your post is very sad to me. Do you live somewhere that not being a Christian means you're an outcast of some kind? If so, I really question whether or not you live around Christians. I say this truthfully: A Christian does not shun, ignore, or turn...

God created man, and gave man the ability to make decisions without regard to God or His nature. Only God is perfect. Man is imperfect. Therefore, man's choices are a reflection of man's imperfection. I would also argue that only man is evil, as the other acting force in our world is nature...

Good questions! To the first, that dealing with the 10 Commandments, I have only one answer: they exist to show hummanity that we cannot follow God's law. They prove we are unworthy of His love and grace. They prove we need a savior. I understand if you dislike this answer, but questions...

To the first question, 'When someone says they have faith that God exists, who or what are they trusting?' there are several answers. An obvious answer is that a person is trusting the Bible. The Bible says it contains God's word and says God exists. Therefore, people trust the Bible. Another...

I don't believe every false statement is a sin. "Lying" to a murder I would not consider a sin. I know I lie in certain instances when the truth offers nothing positive. For example, I would reassure and comfort a child that everything will be just fine, even if I know their parent/loved one...

Well, it sounds to me like you already believe in God, but maybe don't understand His nature yet. I could be wrong though. Right now, your ally is prayer. It is so simple to find God once you open yourself up to the possibility. Pray and keep praying and God will reveal Himself to you, and...

I'll admit that I stole this from a website, though I can't recall the name. Once again, not mine. So, the question is why do people believe in God? Let's step away from Christianity and see if we can't at least reach the conclusion that it is probable that the universe and everything in it is...

I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes here, but we all have doubts. Every Christian, man or woman, adult or child, new or old. Everyone has doubts about their faith at some point in their journey with Christ. And you know what? That's OK. I was told once that if you have doubts about your...

I can't recall the Bible describing Jesus ever actually using telekinesis, but He is God. What can't He do? He turned water into wine and brought a dead man back to life. He created all things. He can move them if He wants to. I was trying to point out that Jesus, being fully man as well as...

Well sir, I myself believe that when Jesus said man could move a mountain with the faith of a mustard seed, He was speaking the truth. However, what you need to ask yourself before dabbling in the super-natural, is "Is it for His glory, or mine?" God can grant amazing abilities, He is God. Satan...

I will agree that this is sort of a moot point. I think the 'Terms and Conditions' are more to protect the distributor. If something destroys your computer, you won't be able to sue them. Likewise, don't sell their product without giving them their dues. Sometimes I go 40 in a 35. Technically...

I usually don't like contributing to these sorts of discussions (as I'm not an expert) but I have to throw my lot in with Creationism. From what I've studied (in a few classes at university) much of what is "known" about these fossil remains seem to be artistic license. The amount of actual...

That is a very difficult situation. Without knowing any specific details, I'd suggest uninstalling the stolen version of the game. Then if you want, install the legal version. You could mail the stolen copy back with no return address explaining the situation. That would be the safest way...

Well, I haven't quite figured out the magical quote function, but I can address your questions and you or others can look back at them. You asked why I believe Israel is God's chosen land. I believe this because it is stated in the Bible. Exodus 3:17 " And I have promisedland of the Canaanites...
