If certain sins are worse than others, then the punishment should be fitting according to the sin. If the severity of sin varies, then why would all degrees of sin receive the same degree of punishment? Logically speaking, that's unjust, there would have to be levels of hell and/or multiple...

Surely this sin can't be worse than murder or lying Am I misunderstanding these verses? James 2:10 10- For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it This verse says to me that all sin is equal in Gods eyes. I don't ponder which paticular...

My sentiments exactly. I've been conflicted about the idea of marriage. A part of me would rather focus on God because I'm not inclined to commitment. I would rather stay single then marry and divorce, because I respect God's will for marriage. I've tried to express these feelings to a church...

LOL . If trying to abide in God's word, allowing Jesus to renew my mind and filter out all the garbage makes me uptight, then I take that as a compliment. I don't sit back and blame it on my hormones. If Jesus says we are not to let our minds think about those matters then that's what he means...

As far as I'm concerned, Gods word stands the test of time so the term 'this day and age', means little to me. I'm talking about what the bible refers to as sodomy, as this is a christian forum, I think I'm allowed to do so. Just so you know: The term "Sodomite" was originally used to refer to...

When she said he mentioned he will always find men attractive, I didn't take that to mean he would simply admire or compliment men for their good looks. And considering these are urges hes act upon before, I find it to be a different matter. That may be ok, for you, but personally I prefer...

And your point is.....? That has absolutely nothing to do with what I just said. What men and women do in their marriage bed is not my concern. Sodomy the bible speaks of is between men and originates from the story of Sodom and Gommorah. The men of that city wanted to "know" the men diguised as...

Not a chance in hell. (We're allowed to say that I hope) The bible states we are supposed to view sodomy as an abomination. While it doesn't mean that we're supposed to hate the sinner, we're are supposed to view the act itself as perverse-because that's how God views it. If he still finds men...

I believe God honors marriage, but I've been pondering this after I was having a conversation with some other single ladies. One women said "How do you know its Gods will for you to be married?: At first I thought it was kinda of dumb like "why wouldn't it be Gods will for a believer to be...

I'll tell you my story. I came to my church around last year. I had broken things off with my ex a year before, so I was single. At first I didn't notice any available men(who were attractive) but after going to a church picnic a handsome guy caught my eye. A couple of weeks later he introduced...

I read Ayn Rand's books years ago(Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead), before I became a believer. In fact, I've read The Fountainhead twice. I've found God's truth in many places, but it certainly wasn't in those books. I find it strange how people spend a whole thread applauding her work, when...

Amen!! :clap: Why this is even a thread topic for people who call themselves believers, I don't know. I don't believe in entertaining the devil's works or giving ear to people(Ayn Rand) who do his bidding by spreading false doctrine and causing others to stumble. Its not my cup of tea.

I believe the question is not whether it is or is not a sin, but rather is it really a good idea? There are many things people do, that aren't specifically listed as sins, sifting through the bible trying to find obscure verses which justify or condemn the act is really pointless. Sometimes we...

All I can say is reading the word, praying, and binding in prayer with fellow members helps. There was a member of our congregation who needed to work through her issues with anger, so she can display fruits of kindness . After praying regularly for weeks, you could see a change in her face and...

I love the smell when the dishwasher runs. I love the smell of products like pine sol and hand sanitizer. I just love the smell of clean. I love drizzling rain, the sun is still shining and a rainbow shows. I like the sound of summer, when the window is open and you can hear the crickets...

I have been a member of my congregation for a little over a year. One of the main reasons, I admire my church is because of the sincerity of their worship, how many members abide by god's word even when they have left the santuary. I am a single christian woman, and I tend to socialize with...

I agree with Loveoutreach. Tongues are initial evidence that you have been baptized in the holy spirit. Like Acts 2:4,there have been many worshiping services where every member in my church was speaking in tongues. Now some in the church may have the gifts of prophesying, or interpretation, or...

Well, if you're sure what your dreams don't mean, then there shouldn't be a need to start a thread in the first place. And I believe I started off by saying I am pentecostal. We do believe in the holy spirit being evidenced by speaking in tongues as Acts 2:4 indicates quite clearly. From your...
