Just remember not to intend in your heart and actually believe and insult the holy spirit. Because there is but one unforgiveable sin, and that's blaspheming the holy spirit. I'm sure he'll forgive you though since you're sincere.

Amen brother! :preach: We can start by cleaning up the media. I mean, every commercial just about has sexual innuendo, we're sexualizing our children even for crying out loud. We've become a modern day sodom and gomorrah.

Does anyone else struggle with forgiveness with this? We do need to forgive sociopaths, because Jesus wants to have us forgive everyone, right?

A friend of mine was killed last year. I'm still trying to cope with her loss. They found the person who did it. As it turns out, he suffered from Antisocial Personality Disorder. He didn't ask for that diagnosis, I have to remember that, as Jesus wants us to be forgiving and not judge others...

Under the chaldeans it did. Though I think that the ruler it refers to was the greek Ninus, the legendary founder of the Assyrian empire. Or the founder of all those individual tribes that gave rise to those cities. Though this is my opinion. An interesting thing to note, is that the greek...

I've prayed and prayed to stop being attracted to men, but I'm still struggling. It's hard. I'd be careful who you tell, alot of people aren't going to be understanding in most churches. I'll say that its not caused by pride or anything, its a part of who you are. At least you're attracted to...

So are you saying that a woman such as this is in the right? Florida Mother Shoots and Kills Four Children and Herself - YouTube Surely, you will agree that it is not. If not, perhaps you need to take a second look at what your saying. My take on this, is that its the Bible's version of...

I just have to correct you on something. Neither the Indians, nor the Babylonians are/were polytheist. they were actually henotheist/monotheist. While Indians believe that their "gods" are just different representations of their one God, the Babylonians saw the "gods" as different manifestations...

Have they taken sides with the devil? Unless I missed something, their beliefs were never mentioned. Where do I stand on this, with the best opinion in the universe: "love your neighbor" "He who is without sin, cast the first stone" "love your enemy" (though this is to homophobes, not...

Us homosexuals aren't interested in little boys (nor little girls for that matter), that's pederasty. Homosexuality is between two people who are two consenting adults of the same gender, or two people close to the same age and of the same gender. There is a difference. Pedophilia, regardless of...

If I'm mistaken, Abraham's brother and family wasn't killed, and his brother and extended family remained polytheists. So that can't be why God did that, as what about the others in Mesopotamia? What about Abraham's family? What about Abraham himself? The Bible doesn't say he did, but he was...

You hate his asking questions? That's really all he did, other than voice his opinion that we don't agree with about the Bible. I dislike his actions too, but hate just seems like such a strong word. I prayed for him too.

thanks!

Every night and every morning I bow and pray to God, "please help me!", and I try my best to do everything right. To the point that I've literally stayed in my house, not going anywhere to avoid temptation. Deep down inside, I know why I'm depressed and why I've been stressed out, but no one...

You're in favor of gay marriage? Proposition 8 being rendered ineffective doesn't destroy marriage, it just lifts the ban on same sex marriage. There was never a law against straight marriage :P ^_^

Where does one draw the line between history and history in its classical/premodern form? Which was interwoven with myth and metaphor.

I have a different take on this. I believe in the seperation of church and state. Mainly because my relationship with God just doesn't involve a state, nor does it need to, nor should it. Just God and me, what room is there for more? The reason I'm against Prop 8, isn't because I'm gay...

I'm of the view that the Bible was written by man, inspired by God. There is even linguistic evidence to suggest that the Bible, at least in the form we have it today, was written well after the exilic days and in the early Maccabaean or late hellenistic era. My point? The Bible was written by...

Supernatural? Well.... no. While there isn't any evidence to suggest that life was created by a sentient being, there is evidence to suggest that a sentient being could possibly have created the earth. That sentient being could either: Be a computer programmer in the real universe, while this...

I wish you were right. Though after years of praying every morning, night, mealtime, and time I go to church, still God hasn't answered my prayers, and just ending my attraction just isn't an option. If you fought against it, that seems to imply that it wasn't a choice for you either. You are...
