    Learning how to love, not cancelling ourselves from loving the way Jesus desires . . .

    Here is what our Apostle Peter says to Christian wives > "Do not let your adornment be merely outward---arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel---rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very...

    Learning how to love, not cancelling ourselves from loving the way Jesus desires . . .

    Now, in the United States, we have what is called the "cancel culture". There are evangelicals who are working to pass laws which end things like gay marriage and abortion and transgender surgery. So, now there is "cancel culture" which is a reaction to political Christian activities, and what...

    Depression

    You need to get wise to whatever made you able to do that to your family. Or else, it could happen again . . . with them or with somebody else. We have things which have power over us, because we are not being satisfied with loving. And so, we are very dependent on our treasure pleasure things...

    Is it wrong to look at some people as Good and Bad ?

    You need to be aware of who a person is, so you do not trust the wrong person. But I think you do not need to get into labeling someone or where that person is going. But do care about every person. And yes stay ready for if God changes an evil person to become a child of God. And be a good...

    Why is fornication a sin ?

    It could be taking a shortcut . . . getting into the physical intimacy without really learning how to love and share with each other. And if you really trust each other, enough to have sex, why not marry? And in case someone is not a person you admire and trust enough for marriage, why get so...

    “Where to look for genuine ecumenism?”

    Jesus has prayed that we will be made perfect in one. And what Jesus prays is guaranteed, isn't it? But there are people who look for outward showing of unity; and so they are disappointed.

    paganism of pizza

    Well, it can be practical to make a pizza round. You can make balls of dough, then pat them out and flip them around on your hands. And it is possible the heat of the round oven will meet the pizza equally from all sides to bake it evenly. But a religious group can hijack this, maybe partly to...

    Does God determine how long you live?

    I believe that God is in full control but we experience ourselves to control things as much as we do. And He can have us do things to be healthy. But I know that still I could die, at any time . . . except He has planned exactly when and how I will. What is working through it all is how God is...

    What is the deal with people?

    Hi Michie - - - you are a Catholic who has posted a lot of stuff. So, it is possible that someone anti-Catholic is trying to discredit you and therefore Catholicism. And possibly you simply have gotten attention by posting so many things, so you are a target. I remember someone complained about...

    Need advice

    Jesus wants us to love any and all people. So, I am sure God does want you to love his children; and I think if you are in any way involved with him, this includes asking about them, somehow getting to know them, praying for them. I don't think it is right to put him in a spot where being with...

    How would a nuclear war between Russia and the US affect you?

    I just trust God about that. If you can kill people by setting off bombs up in the air, then different "sides" could suffer that. And what can anyone do? Your side's military could be moving in on useless territory while the other side is moving in on your useless territory, or both sides are...

    Church policy about rides with the opposite sex

    Well, it can be wise not to take a ride with someone you do not know. God can guide you.

    What is Faith biggest enemy?

    "faith working through love" > in Galatians 5:6. Self-centeredness of faith can hurt us from finding out how to love. Doubt can be because of being mainly concerned with what is possible with us, and being mainly worried about things coming our way. And there certainly is doubt that God will...

    Is it wrong to want more in life?

    Well, God wants us to have loving relationships. And it is good that we want loving and not only material prosperity. We have "be content with such things as you have" in Hebrews 13:5. But also, we have that God "gives us richly all things to enjoy," in 1 Timothy 6:17. You don't have to own...

    Does "zōēn aiōnion" mean eternal life?

    And while ones are busy with if a word means "for eternity", are they giving attention to what it is to be holy? After all, without holiness "no one will see the Lord," we have in Hebrews 12:14. And if we have the Lord's holiness, this holiness is eternal, so we share this with Jesus for...

    Rabid Cow

    I have read that foxes with rabies have been able to attack a person. That could be before they became more disabled by the rabies virus. So, I can see it possible that some rabies infected animal could have attacked the cow before the attacking creature was too disabled to attack anything.

    About 70 percent of Americans support peace talks

    Well, it depends on what the peace talks are supposed to do. Russia can simply leave Ukraine, if ²they really want peace. They left Afghanistan, and I don't think anybody chased them once they were out. If there is nuclear action enough to kill everyone on the planet, then I would say there...

    MAGA 'Implosion': GOP power shrinks in Washington as chaos hobbles Republican schemes

    Well, God is the One who uses anything for His good. I have been told the polls have been close and the poles very far apart. And possibly each party is controlled by fringe people who threaten to leave the party if they don't get their way. So, if either party loses a radical voting bloc...

    Somehow I feel there is not the fire I had when I first believed

    Hi, Mike . . . it is good to see you again. It seems you want to get into the right way of faith. I think of how Paul our Apostle says we need "faith working through love" > in Galatians 5:6. So, faith is more than what people call believing. Faith has us sharing with God in His love. And you...
