    Divorcing to get medical care

    This is much of the welfare structure in the US and other nations, you get more help if you're single, have lil to no income and number of children. You'll qualify for tons of services. However, if a person is disabled and married there is still enough help, just not the same. If you worked...

    I get a lovely warm feeling around my heart when I read the bible and pray

    We shouldn't trust our emotions, we can get warm and fuzzy about most anything. Many go to the bible while in severe distress trying to figure out why such and such is happening. Because they get no warm feeling, it doesn't mean the spirit isn't there dealing with them. I think the feeling...

    I can't stop thinking about how unfair life is

    9 million children under age 5 die every year from simple things like starvation, lack of meds, clean water, etc. They belong to all faiths. They all have parents racked with grief... Life isn't fair, but most of us don't put our suffering and issues in line with the real suffering in the...

    Does God have a plan for us?

    Often on FB I see people posting about Gods favor and his plan. People will say everything happens for a reason; will work out for good; not to worry about tomorrow. One girl I went to school with has been posting lately in despair for prayer and help. Seems her marriage has issues from a...

    Is this a pedophile comment or not??

    I'm not sure why she said that about the father, maybe she's thinking that if thinks leggings are out he's looking at her sexually. This on it's own is of course silly. Men do become sexually aware of their daughters, but it doesn't mean they have sexual desires towards them.

    Religious or Spiritual

    In light of history, to say that Christianity isn't religious is silly, it created the numerous organized religions and denominations that we have today. But still that is my point, we today separate ourselves from past Christianity claiming it not to be....Christian. I was debating with an...

    Gender Equality. Who Should Be Submissive?

    Not to mention their wives complain of having miserable sex lives. But the fact is, through the OT and several 100 years after Christ women had little to no rights.

    Religious or Spiritual

    When asked, I notice a of Christians today will say they're not religious, but spiritual. I've been guilty of this myself. Asking myself why I say this has been something I've been pondering. I think it's more my answer because people point out all the bad issues of religion and the fact that...

    For those of you who believe you've gotten signs from God

    Regardless of religions or beliefs, we can have some things go our way and some things not. If you believe in signs, you will attribute good things to miracles, others will call it luck or fate.

    Fornication - Is It Still A Sin, TODAY?

    Actually there were several laws dictating sex before marriage in the OT. As stated, women were property and culture dictated a woman having sex before marriage harmed the property rights of the father or future husband. The punishment was simply the man had to buy the bride or the father would...

    Does God really affect our lives?

    I often see people post on FB that everything that happens God allows or it's his will or plan, but I don't agree. The bible says "your kingdom come, your will be done in earth as it is in heaven" Until his kingdom comes, his will won't be done on earth like it is in heaven.

    We Don't Deserve Hell

    I agree, if God didn't see it coming, seems he had to come up with a plan B. If he didn't see that coming, then how can heaven ever be secure?

    if a Christian commit suicide, do they lose their salvation?

    That use to be an old fundy teaching for sure. However, most that commit suicide do so out of mental or physical illness. I worked in a group of people that suffer from RSD, which is terribly painful, also called the suicide disease because so many take their lives in stage 3. I' ve known...

    We Don't Deserve Hell

    Seems to be able to make a correct decision about good or evil, you would need the knowledge to do so. Also seems they had the sin character in them, as Eve lusted to be like God, she just didn't have the right brain cells to see her decision was wrong. Next concern, why didn't God just get...

    Issues with reading the old testament

    The Levitical law can seem very cruel because it's attached to God. You have to understand all tribes and cultures attached their laws as if direct from their God. The question you have to answer is do you believe God ordained these laws or were they cultural laws of the day. For instance, if a...

    This life is a one, big, giant mystery.

    I certainly don't believe in the world flood, more likely a local flood or a spin on one of the previous flood stories. Science aside, if you use biblical times for the flood, 5 of the worlds greatest civilizations existed during that period. These civilizations had some very detailed written...
