Hey.. hope everyone has a blessed day by Gods side.. may he continually uplift your eyes to what he has for you.:) This is my last post, as I've chosen not to come back to Christianforums on account of its become the most discouraging place out of the places I go online, and I want to work on...

I like that she was human and sincere, and she was growing, not perfect already.. she never tried to be anything else. I like that she was always trying to point people back to God and to reading their Bibles. I like that she was willing to get out there and do an impossible job relying on God...

Sounds hard... I'll be praying for you.. I hope God shows you his open doors soon- he won't desert his faithful..

Others around me helped a lot I think.. they thought of things and questions I never would have.. plus my lecturers were a really great resource and we still keep in contact if I have any questions..

Yeah, been there.. I went to uni, and the churches had to survive.. I think its good for them, as they have to realise that they aren't dependant on you to keep running.. it may leave a spot for some other people to step up to the plate.. You need to follow God's plan for your life, not theirs...

Ephesians 3:19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - and that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Rapture isn't that new a belief, its been around a while.. but the "Left Behind" series have certainly raised its profile a bit. I don't want to stir up any theological debates here, but be aware there are other sides to the story. I've been taught that God taking his loved ones with him will be...

ok, if that was in referral to what I said, thats not how I meant it to come across, sorry. Its not a game or God and Satan having an argument or anything.. You were created because God wanted you in the world and because he thinks you're important. He wanted you to have a chance at living and...

Welcome to CF by the way! The other thing to consider is that your faith doesn't necessarily have to follow the traditional route in everything.. The way you would approach God is different to the way I or anyone else would approach God. I guess that it comes down to whether you see the smile or...

should we perhaps also be looking at teaching kids what kind of situations can become difficult to stay in control in, ie not putting ourselves in situations where its difficult to stay pure.. I agree with Sophia7- education can only go so far...

I always went with the line of thought that sex was designed to be something beautiful shared between a husband and a wife, and that outside marriage it had consequences.. Outside being outside the marriage relationship, whether or not this relationship has been established. The culture of our...

There is another thing you could take into consideration.. Way back when Satan made the choice not to follow God, believing that he was unfair, and unjust, and had impossible standards, 1/3 of heavens angels followed him. This is not entirely about us, because they are all watching, and we are...

cause he doesn't want us all to be robots

In my church, while you need to have a 4yr BA in Theology to be a pastor, I don't believe you actually need qualifications to preach..

:) Yeah.. I guess they realise we aren't going to give up on them because they've made mistakes.. One guy last week wrote us a note telling us that he didn't want to share anything about himself because he'd been burnt before, and that just broke my heart..They can feel so abandoned in there and...

I suppose we don't as much send ourselves to hell in the sense of we don't of our own free will up and march ourselves down there, that would be silly. The sense in which we send ourselves, is that God has left the decision up to us. I know other people believe different things, and I'm not...

I think the only answer I have for you is you need to really get to know Jesus. Its not just knowing about him, and believing that he exists and is active in our world, but knowing him. The more you know him, the more you will be able to follow his guidance to the place he wants you to be. You...

I guess you measure what they are saying against what the bible teaches. If they are in harmony, then theres a good chance they are speaking for God. If there is something out of alignment, or they don't agree with the Bible, then be highly cautious. Thats my policy anyway

Personally, I think I'd be thrilled. I hate the thought of people missing out. I can imagine that there would be those who'd feel a bit threatened, but the Bible does say people from every nation, language and people, which allows for the diversity that perhaps there will be others.. And the God...

well for a start, the education system has christian roots. don't know the details, but it might give you something to research. Much of the health movement has been christian based.. Have you had a look and seen what of the moral christian principles are part of our current culture/legal...
