Fair enough. I'm struggling with inappropriate contentography and masturbation issues myself; this morning I jerked off to an image of a naked man (I lust after both men and women.) I'm a hypocrite for rebuking you. I don't know why I did that, I seem to be angry at God and the church all the time lately...

It comes down to whether you think election ultimately depends on a God-given freedom of choice, or whether you think it is dependent on God selectively giving grace to some who would not otherwise choose him. I don't see how you can be both.

I'd marry you but I'm on the other side of the world, sorry. Seriously though... are you in a local church, can you flat with some other people there or something? I'm not surprised you're feeling lonely if you're living alone. I used to live in a flat virtually by myself and had no friends, it...

Some people can sense a shy or insecure person, so they prey on them because they are jerks. Not all people are like that though. The best means of protection is an AK-47, but failing that I'd recommend a friend.

I guess for some people, jealousy over their girlfriend or plain old friend getting a promotion that they were wanting would be enough to severely strain the relationship. I personally would not care and would be happy for them, but it would be kind of weird if the woman you were going to marry...

Be a missionary only if you want to be one: Galatians 5:16-17 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to...

The part where he, talking about school, said "...they should teach them to wait til they are married or at least ready." Implying that he thinks schools should be teaching children about sex, which I wanted him to clarify and elaborate on, hence my question. There is no disconnect, except...

I think the ones responsible for any population explosion are more likely to be the ones who don't have a lot of sexual partners. The Muslim community, for example.

So do you think it is the role of the school to teach children about sex?

He means the kind of love that you have with a sexual partner. Jesus is not his woman.

She said something about having no right to marry an unbeliever? Saying "don't marry if you're a teenager" and making assertions about teenagers never being mature enough and so on, is not wisdom.

This is beyond your control and it doesn't matter anyway, it's primarily her issue if she sees you that way. Unless you never shower and look like Charles Manson. Rejected for what? Saying hello and asking how they're doing and making conversation? If a woman or group of women do that to you...

Marriage for perfectionist people. Memorize all the rules, find noone who fits them perfectly, don't get married, then wonder why you are lonely.

I feel sorry for those women you used.

Do you tend to talk at length at share a lot of negativity? Some people, they think stupid unnecessary self-defeating thoughts and are just filled with bitterness; they look for a person to serve as their toilet in which to dump all their emotional crap. Problem is, apart from using that...

Only if their own conscience suggests to them that it is.

It's called hysteria. Find another church that deals with real world stuff, rather than wastes time pursuing mystical highs.

I used to feel that way. Then I realized women are evil and like to use men, so I'm lucky that I'm not shackled to one.

What do you make of this: Ecclesiastes 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart. It's interesting to note that Jesus is never recorded laughing. Do you suppose he would have come across as a pretty somber kind of person? Would you say you tend...

Maybe. And maybe the reason someone's grandfather killed a human and got away with it under Adolf Hitler's regime was because that human was a Jew and therefore it wasn't murder because it was state policy to exterminate them at the time. Both are wrong by my own definition of murder, as...
