I went through some difficult things that made me actually look at my life and my issues, including being unemployed (by choice), and getting in a few car accidents, one of which i flipped over 2 times. A friend who came to the hospital after the car accident asked me if I wanted her to call my...

I think you definitely have to do a little research on your counselor and get some recommendations from reliable people in your life. Usually pastors will do counseling or at least know someone they would recommend. That's who I would ask. If you don't feel comfortable with your own pastor...

I don't think it is ever a good rationale to just stay for the kids. I personally know many people who have done this and the kids were aware and didn't think it was best for their family either. I agree with the above poster that an unhealthy relationship as the head of the household is...

I wasn't trying to say that a marriage can go on forever with only one person working on it, but there are always going to be times where one person gives more than the other. That doesn't mean you need to divorce because it seems that one person cares more. I can definitely identify with...

There was a time where nothing he did could get a good response out of me. He called me incessantly, and made sure I knew he wasn't going anywhere. He also surrounded himself with positive influences and people who wanted to help us. I don't know if he would've made it without them. It was...

After writing the above post, I realized how old the thread was and that the user hasn't posted in over a year. I thought about not posting it, but I decided that the advice could be good for anyone trolling the forums, so I posted it anyway. I hope that the OP is doing well, and maybe she...

I would just like to say that the above post should be disregarded. You don't only have 2 choices. You committed your life to someone, and they to you. I'm not saying that divorce is never an option, I don't think that you are thinking this through as much as you should. While reading all...

I don't want to make any long post or anything, but this issue is clearly stated in the Bible. The man is the head of the household. Honestly if you are not up for being the head, marraige isn't the thing for you. The man's job is to care for the wife as God cares for the church. God doesn't...

You can't really compare a private school's rules with government law. Rosa Parks wasn't protesting a private institution's right to do something, she was protesting the government's injust laws that effect all of the public.

I just noticed this post, and I wanted to say that my post used the word "you," but i wasnt' directing it at one person. I did not intend to question anyone's Christianity, I was just asking a question. I am very sorry if anyone thought that I was trying to direct that at them. Gwen

obesity is a sin?

I know several Christians who don't watch R rated films, for that reason. I don't understand the other two examples, though, so could you please clarify which sins they lead to? Thanks Gwen :)

I agree with the part about men. And I would like to say that I unnintentionally left them out of the equation in my other comments about choosing before sex. So I apologise.

I'm not saying that abstaining is simple. I'm saying that it's a simple concept. Sex can lead to pregnancy. Period. And the only way to prevent that one hundred percent is to abstain. (or get a vasectomy)

Just out of curiosity, where is that verse?

Oh, and here are some verses. LEV 18:22 "'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable. 29 "'Everyone who does any of these detestable things--such persons must be cut off from their people. 20:13 "'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them...

That wasn't rude. Now I'm not allowed to ask questions about the what the Bible says about homosexuality? And it's not rude to confront someone who made defamatory comments about me when they don't know me. I didn't say anything rude to flicka, I just said please don't say things about me...

Oh yeah, and Flicka, I think it's pretty rude for you to say that about me. Not once have I said anything rude to someone. This is a debate forum. It's not personal, so don't make it be. There's no reason that we can't discuss our opinions without namecalling.

Just a note: How can you be a Christian, and believe in God and the bible being true, but be homosexual? The bible says that homosexuality is an abomination, so how can you just disregard that piece? That makes no sense. In my opinion, you can't be a Christian and be adamant about...

First of all, I wasn't commenting on the criminal nature of the act. As a Christian, sin is sin, so I can compare it if I want, because to me it is all sin. I'm not saying that I don't like gay people or I'm a homophobe, so don't put that on me. Just like I don't abandon other people who...
