Girl, you opened pandora's box. After [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse], you've built neurons. This is a biological issue. Don't beat yourself up spiritually. You're okay. God loves you.

I feel for you and your situation. This isn't an easy situation as you want to please God and not affect your relationship with him in a negative way. There's no easy answer here. In fact, my wife and I went through the same thing, and I was a minister at the time. You've received a lot of...

Life is a series of tests and trials for the sake of our spiritual growth. When you and I are dead and buried, the question will be asked, "What did you do with your life?" or "Were you a sheep or a goat?" There will then be a separation of all peoples into two groups: the sheep, who fed the...

Very good fictional account of Jesus' "lost years" (before the ministry).

Check out Dylan Morrison, The Prodigal Prophet. Your welcome.

I can't believe I'm suggesting this, but it sounds like you might need the experience. Try living without God for awhile. Make decisions based on the flesh instead of the spirit. Soon enough you will see the role God has been playing I. Your life from the day you were born. ETA: don't really.

God does answer prayers, and praying is highly effective. But if all you are doing is praying, how do you suppose you are going to get answers? God uses us to get things done. Yes, by all means, become an atheist. I tried that once, and I'm still suffering the consequences. I'll never reject...

You misunderstand. JESUS HIMSELF WAS A PHARISAICAL RABBI. Pharisees are not the problem. It is the pharisees of Jesus' day by and large, who knew the law backward and forward, but they were not living it from the heart. They had external righteousness without love, which is nothing more than...

I'm often offended by the responses here. And when I'm finished throwing a tantrum, I realize that their advice was more what I needed to hear than the coddling. You're a grown man. You need to take responsibility for your life. God doesn't owe you a thing, and to be angry with him is great. But...

Read Job.

God (the power of the cosmos) owes you diddly squat.

Your quality of life is a result of your mind and heart. God is the ideal answer to all of your issues. I know how that might not sound like I'm answering your question. This is the answer I needed when I asked the same.

I agree with BFine that this is the correct biblical approach. You owe her nothing except what Messiah has given freely to you. I'm sorry you are going through this trial. Use it as a means of drawing closer to Abba. Proud of you for staying the course when others jumped ship.

I am a father of 4 kids. Mine are a bit older though I think. I have three in high school and one in college. Here's our favorite joke: Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? because he was dead. .... I guess you had to be there. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Welcome to the forums, Angie. I probably would not have seen your post, except I was doing a search for recent posts of one of my dear friends on the forum. I wanted to say a word of encouragement to you, as I have already received much benefit from this site. You will encounter both positive...

The context of the word "fear" is important, just as the word love can have so many connotations. In the Bible, the fear of God is not the same thing as a fear or anxiety over the particulars of life. The fear of God is holy reverence. The fear of worldly matters is a mistrust or ignorance of...

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who...

Sounds reasonable. Bless you!

Bro, with all due respect, you are in grave error. If you want to improve your relationship with others (a perfect avenue to a closer walk with God) you should repent from the hate in your heart toward other human beings (that you don't even detect at this moment), take stock of your own...
