    i am seeking help

    If there's anything I've ever heard about Christianity that makes sense to me, it's that it's about relationship with God, not a bunch of rules. It's like if you wanted to please your parents but you didn't spend any real quality time with them, you'd soon get burnt out and wasted trying to do...

    I just cannot reconcile this verse. Please offer Godly advice.

    I think this passage is a generalization about the blessings and responsibilities of salvation. We are to preach to every creature (if neccesary use words). Belief in Christ (and acceptance of what He has done) will save you. Believers can cast out bad spirits (epilepsy, or true demonic...

    China anyone?

    Well the idea is conceal identity best as is possible. I plan on working there, but I'd rather not discuss in what capacity or where online. I have some ideas, but I'm still not sure and plans can change very quick. Still any info about organizations (or people going is all appreciated). And...

    China anyone?

    Perhaps this a weird starter for a thread, but I have a friend with a calling to go to China. He was wondering if any people also had a real calling share the gospel (on whatever level possible) in a nation such as China. Please email only. Thanks.

    cowboy bebop anyone?

    BEBOP is okay. I mean it would be nice if they had anime with happy endings. Still, I feel like the writers try so much to make things similar to real life by showing that more often than not, things don't totally work out. I mean you have plot twists that have absolutely nothing to do with the...

    SUICIDE TENDENCIES WELCOME!!!!!

    Gotta tell ya, I know how you feel. The job market is sparse, and even having a job (if that's what you'd call it) is just hard. I moved away from my comfort zone because I was unemployed for about 4 months and finally got an offer. It had only lasted for 6 months and then I got laid off...

    Re-categorized: Men's Corner & Women's Discussion now under Life Stages (NOTE: CO!)

    I was rather amused at this whole thing really. I mean if christianforum decided I was this worthless piece of pond scum, I think I would just set my eyes on better pastures. Not saying that's the way they feel about anybody.

    Animals are crazy!

    Well, you know. With ducks it's called coincidence. With humans we would have had the forensic experts tracing it to the mafia.

    Is it a sin to be on the Internet?

    If a tree falls on a mime using an internet connection, does anyone care?

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

    Kinda takes the fun out of all those dirty limericks. :D

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

    And it certainly doesn't fit the typical colorful metaphor either....

    Is astral projection moral? (from a christian perspective)

    It is hard to say whether something like this should be considered wrong for a Chrstian. The general rule of thumb is that a spiritualist or medium is not to be tolerated. Still, not totally knowing what it is really doing, it becomes harder to classify. I would say that if it is doind what...

    Is astral projection moral? (from a christian perspective)

    Well I don't think astral projection is something to be proven or disproven by the "come to my home town and show me what's going on" philosophy. Tis true however, if anything can prove astral project to real places on earth, it should be verifiable by independent sources. There is one...

    There is FUR EVERYWHERE!

    :D Sounds like your pets need some aftershave.

    Do you ever wish....

    I disagree. Sometimes the feelings are just there for you to learn to cope. Not every feeling that God has given you is something that is meant to be acted on and this can certainly be the case with feelings for marriage.

    where's the fire

    Don't worry about it Ripple. You are His. That's what matters, right? It's like when David danced before the Lord when he was not totally clothed. David saw past all the people to honor God with what he did. His wife didn't feel the same though.

    where's the fire

    Maybe this sounds goofy but people typically only get what they put into something. If all they do is attend service you shouldn't expect them to be crying or especially moved unless you have caught them off guard. If you lead a group where they have to individually go through the Bible and...

    good morning

    Welcome to the club. Enjoy your stay and remember to fold your tray table back in and return your seat to it's fully upright position. Sorry, wrong speech. :D

    North Korea says it's making nuclear bombs

    North Korea has been struggling for food and other resources for some time. It makes sense to me that they try to play this trump card to get us to pay for thier problems. After all, we are rebuilding Iraq. And while we did do the destroying, this whole war thing kinda sends the message that...

    North Korea says it's making nuclear bombs

    North Korea says it has the last remaining clones of Elvis. Anything to get attention. Small country dictators..... reminds me of small town cops. Most of them are too egotistical to be realistic about what thier job really is. For the record, I hope China gets tired of it and shuts them up.
