    How do you feel about women not wearing bras? Is it a Sin?

    I haven't read every reply so if I'm just repeating what others have said I apologize. I know that I will probably have a response of some type when I'm around a woman who is noticeably not wearing a bra. The type and strength of my response (maybe better to say, at least initially...

    Not much more to say. This genre of music has been distrusted by some Christians for as far back as I can remember. I put this here so what's being said can be heard. This music reaches people other music doesn't.

    Why are most christians against asylum seekers?

    Okay... I just watched the video and I don't see anything in it that talks about not doing what God tells us to do if there are risks involved or if things look hopeless. The post I replied to seems almost directly opposite of what the video was about. But, you're right. That video does show...

    I liked what was said but didn't watch the video. I generally avoid videos but I'll take a look, thanks.

    Why are most christians against asylum seekers?

    It looks like we disagree on this area. I don't believe there is anywhere in the bible where we're told do behave in a certain way, and then we find that invalidated somewhere else. I could be misunderstanding you, and if so please set me straight!, but it looks to me like you're saying if...

    Why are most christians against asylum seekers?

    I hate that such an experience could happen and that it happened to you. Your post reminds all of us about how unpredictable life is and about corruption and the human heart. All the more reason the body of Christ has been set apart, not to live as the world lives. I believe you've also...

    Why are most christians against asylum seekers?

    It looks like the issue has somehow shifted. I agree completely that nations have borders and have the right to defend them. I don't think that has anything much to do with what God has instructed us do though; I think that's a whole other matter.

    Why are most christians against asylum seekers?

    I agree completely. What I'm concerned about is the possibility of choosing the wrong way when faced with difficult decisions. There will certainly be times where we're not sure what God wants us to do and we may make mistakes under those conditions. Regarding obeying what we do know God...

    Why are most christians against asylum seekers?

    I was trying to talk about this from the perspective of how we, as Christians, behave. I think I'm agreeing with you when I say that has absolutely nothing to do with what the government should, or does, do. I've also never intended to throw bible verses around to support an invalid opinion...

    Why are most christians against asylum seekers?

    From your response I get the impression that you aren't interested in discussing what I've said. I don't play with bovine skubulon, and that seems like an attempt to simply make me wrong. If all we're looking to do here is make each other right or wrong, that might feel really great but by...

    Why are most christians against asylum seekers?

    I agree, on both points. What I'm posting here is certainly my opinion. Judge it for yourself absolutely. There's still plenty I need to learn. I also agree that nations may have borders and so forth. One of the points I was trying to make, though, is that what nations do isn't what we, as...

    Why are most christians against asylum seekers?

    We do really well to keep in mind how incredibly subtle evil can be. It presents itself daily in the guise of wisdom, righteousness and godliness. What appears to be angels isn't always so and the way to tell is to pay close attention to the message. Sometimes standing strong against evil...

    Why are most christians against asylum seekers?

    I don't believe that as Christians we can think of what is "ours" (our responsibility) the same way other people do. We're told what to do, how to live, and so on. Boarders aren't any part of that.
