I brought this up last night in my Bible study. The leader said: "Well, there is righteous Jealousy, just ask there is righteous anger. Righteous anger is such as when Jesus went into the temple and people were gambling and selling God, so he flipped tables over and went off on everyone...

Would you consider jealousy to be a defect of character? God says it himself that He is a jealous God. If God in perfect in EVERY way...then wouldn't being jealous...well, be Godly? Just a thought, would love to hear your opinions on this one...

This is all really helpful. My friend's theory comes from one taught to him in an old testiment class... The basis is similar to a parent allowing a child to drink inside the home...then it would be controlled and safe. If God was in control of the situation, then it was harmless... It...

Dear All, I've been bouncing this one back and forth in my head for a couple of days now, and figured I'd get some input from the group. I was taking a road trip with a friend of mine, and he declared that the serpent in Genesis was actually God. I said "that's curious, explain..." He said...

I haven't seen the said movie. I want to, but I'm not much for paying $9.00 to see a movie that I can see in a month for $5.00 in my home. The option to pause, the cheaper price, the more comfortable seats, the less expensive munchies...ahhhh! However, I'm not much of a Bush fan, which is...

Does the President need to be a Christian to run the country?

hmmmm...didn't work, well here's the verse... 1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to...

Despite what we feel about the government or about the war/fighting...the Bible says that we should honor our government... Romans 13:1-6

Uh...yeah, this was settled a while ago. I decided against it, and thanked everyone for their input. I would not have had sex with her because I wouldn't be in love with her. She wouldn't even be living here for most of the time. And when she did get here, the arrangement was to be that...

romans 13:1-6

:mad: HIS name is TriZz...no offense taken, I promise! :P Alot of good things on here...I think she's starting to see it. Before I got saved I had slept around ALOT...of XX amount of girls, only 2 were girls that I actually had some sort of feelings for. When I started believing in Christ...

Oh how much it pains me to see someone of your age already feeling like a "inappropriate content star". But, like what's been said...you can't be helped unless you want to stop. You feel the conviction, you know the scripture, but you still "don't care". I see this behavior a lot in another fellowship that...

Really, how much more can be said? She wrote it all down, had God's words on paper in front of her and then 30 minutes later she's at it (hopefully not on top of Scriptures). I see no real effort on your part to do what's right. I see you taking lust and calling it love as a justification for...

Yes, the young man in the picture is me...the young lady is who I tend to feel romantic about. We are not together, but have strong feelings for each other. We just feel that now is not the right time...that is a different thread though...hehe At any rate...I agree with all of you and have...

When my grandmother handed me the photo album with the girl's pictures in it...I told her what I would do is ask people at my church if it was a good idea. I told my grandmother that if God says no, then I'm not going to do it. Not one person who has responded even remotely came close to a...

:clap: Amen to that! :clap:

Alot of what I hear is the "illegal" thing...which is not the case. In legal terms, this is what would be called a "loophole" which is a legal path around the restrictions of the law. We would be following and abiding by all laws. Something doesn't sit right with me about it. And mostly...

...but does God not also take family very seriously? See, the thing that makes me willing to do this is that I'm not in love with this woman. I don't know her at all, in fact...I've only seen a couple of pictures of her for the first time tonight. I'll go over there...introduce myself, hit...

I agree entirely with 100% of this... If it feels wrong to you, then it probably is. There's some other issues here, and they're bringing you down A LONG WAY! His self-centeredness to not want to give up the sexual progress (spiritual regress) is causing you a lot of pain... I would...

All, I'm in a bit of a jam and could use the opinions of others. Please bear with me, I'll try to make this as short as possible: I'm 24 and a bit new to Christianity. I don't know what God has to say about the following story, and maybe someone else does. I live with my...
