I guess the same question could be asked of people who will perish believing that they were saved and knew the Lord but in terms of 'Ex-Christians', does a term like this even have any merit?

What if the son, who has renounced His Faith in Christ (for a time I hope) decides to leave on his own. Does the church still excommunicate him then? There are many people who will blur the lines of living a life of holiness yet refusing to deny themselves. I do believe that people who are...

Isaiah 8:19-20 And when they say to you, “Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living? To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word...

Does the bible address the topic of suicide? What does the bible say about suicide? Thanks in advance.

No. You've already found articles and there are a whole lot more where that came from. What is he sacrificing to invest his time playing this game? Is he missing social gatherings more frequently? The game you mentioned is subscribed, so he is paying a monthly fee and because he's paying a...

No matter what, don't give up. We all have bad days but the Lord knows what we're going through. Don't be afraid to go to Him even during the day, as temptations arise. Know that you've been forgiven because of what Christ did for you on the cross.

Can a Christian be demon possessed? Can a Christian have a demon indwelt within them? Can the Holy Spirit and a demon coexist inside a person? When a person has repented of their sin and put their trust in Christ, would they still be demon possessed in some fashion? *Sorry for all of the...

You should read Psalm 51. Also the book of Romans.

Colossians 3 You're making a lot of assumptions that can't really be substantiated based on the OP alone. Over thinking these things is the perfect recipe for stress. Serve the Lord in your vocation. There's nothing wrong with inquiring about the position or asking your boss how you can...

Jesus told the Samaritan woman in John 4, Why did Jesus say that the husband she has now isn't her husband? Original Question Under what circumstances does divorce and remarriage = Adultery?

Was the woman at the well capable of that? Are Christians capable of that? (sinless perfection) Why would Jesus say 'Go and sin no more'?

Do you find this woman attractive? Would you take the time out of your day to purchase and do all of these things for a male? I doubt that she would return the clothes. Why would she? She doesn't feel convicted at all and says that she 'needs' them. It's a gift. As others have said...

Happy Birthday to your father. I don't know what your father did to you, so I really can't come to a decision on if what you did was the 'best' thing but I would say that you could talk to him? A hug is probably a big step right now but I don't think avoiding him entirely will help matters...

You need to be careful saying things that the bible does not say. To say something like 'Even Joyce Meyers says that' is troubling. You don't go to Joyce Meyer to see what God's word says. You go to the bible. Joyce Meyers is known for twisting scripture. Quoting scripture out of context to fit...

Ecclesiastes 5:7 [ESV] For when dreams increase and words grow many, there is vanity; but God is the one you must fear. [NAS] For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fear God. Nowhere in the bible does God say to 'follow your dreams' but to deny yourself and follow Him.

They Key word in OP's question is practice. I find the way the question is phrased is a bit wonky. If sexual immorality were replaced with anything else, I believe a lot of responses in this thread would change, as you've pointed out.

The bible is filled with scripture pertaining to the sexually immoral. 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. When I read Hebrews, I see warnings for people in their...

Passages are fine as well :) Hebrews 4:15-16 [ESV] For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive...
