    Suicide

    I just wanted to add something. When I was 16 my oldest brother committed suicide. No one knows why. He never left a note, and right before he did it he was acting really happy playing video games with our cousins and nobody would've guessed. To this day no one knows why. I can't even begin to...

    What do you think?

    Okay, so I'm the starving Bible college student, lol, who's trying to pay her way through school. Anyways, I've been working for a very popular transcription (typing) company for a few years now but because of the economy they are laying people off and I was one of those who got laid off...

    my fellow pks

    I love helping out in the ministry. I teach kids' church, play the drums on the worship team, help clean the church, do some office stuff. I love being in the church, and all this isn't forced on me. The only reason I do it is because I love it. Sometimes they tell me maybe I'm doing too much...

    who likes being a PK

    The only thing I regret about being one is that I was adopted and so didn't become one until I was a teenager. Yes, I did deal with stuff that other people didn't, and I did have stricter rules than my friends, but you know what? There are a lot of mistakes my friends have made that I didn't...

    Bipolar Faith

    Best way to feel better, read Psalms, lol. I don't mean to be sacrilegious by any means, but David at times sounded bipolar. He had a very eventful life so with good reason, but man, some psalms go from "Oh God why me?" to "God you are great!" within, like two verses lol!!!

    Should guys grow long hair?

    Gwendolyn... I agree. If anyone's trying to pull off the look of stars who attract 9-year-old girls, don't! :P

    Should guys grow long hair?

    Tigress oh my goodness there is somebody still around from the good ol days! :clap: Yeah it's been forever since I've been on here, and boy have things really changed in my life! I have had a little free time lately so I've decided to come back on and see if anything interesting is going on...

    Resurrection

    I was kinda bummed to get on here (after a long while) and see that some really old threads have been deleted. About 6 or 7 months ago I got on here (for the first time in about a year or two) and I could click on my CP and see all the posts I had made. Well, some went back to when my birth...

    Should guys grow long hair?

    You mean the ones who still believe that all scripture is given by inspiration of God for doctrine and reproof? :P "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?" I Corinthians 11

    Does God care if you are trinitarian or oneness?

    Of course God cares what you believe. How can you serve God if you don't even know who He is? Acts 4:12 says, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Jesus is the name given among men whereby we are saved...

    Trinity Doctrines

    Can someone who believes a literal three different persons to God (which most of you seem to) please explain how the Holy Ghost was the one who came upon Mary and made her pregnant, if God the Father is Jesus' Father and not the Holy Ghost? How would you interpret that verse?

    For the Regulars: Do You believe in the Trinity [no debate]

    I believe in what the Bible says: "For in him [Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." 2 Col. 2:9 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the...

    Does God care if you are trinitarian or oneness?

    I think the most important question is whether you believe when you get to Heaven will you see One God or three? I think there might be an issue if someone believes they're going to see three gods up there because that denies the Bible saying that there is One God and none other beside Him.

    Trinity Doctrines

    I believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost but I don't use the term trinity. It makes it seem as if we're saying there are three gods as opposed to the One who has revealed Himself in three ways. That said, here's stuff from the Bible and historical documents that might help you better...

    Christian music

    I've actually found it true that for most styles of music there is a Christian artist. That said, I work with young people and I teach them that if it's a sin in real life, it's a sin in entertainment. Namely, if whatever music you're listening to glorifies drugs, drinking, swearing...

    How did you know...?

    I went with the one thing I was most interested in, as opposed to just something that would get me a high paying job someday. The best piece of advice I could give is to follow what you like, and NOT what other people are telling you to do. I had a teacher in high school who was like a mentor...

    Need some advice HELP!

    Well, an important question is whether the child has a parent or parents in the church or if he is a bus route student or someone with unsaved parents. If he has at least one parent who is well settled in the church, you can always tell him that if he doesn't like Sunday School so bad that he...

    Christian boudaries concerning entertainment.

    The best way I've ever taught on how to decide if a certain type of entertainment is appropriate is this: If it's a sin in real life, it's a sin to watch/listen/play. I teach this to young people. The Bible says adultery and fornication are wrong, so it's really not appropriate to watch a movie...
