    Divorce

    I know I wont win any popularity points with this, but no where does it say in the Bible that abuse is grounds for divorce. While I dont recommend anyone staying in an abusive relationship, especially if you have kids, I do recommend making sure you are equally yoked with your partner. If you...

    Hell and Justice

    Every one sins, sin seperates us from God, God wants us back so He made a way to get us back....now its up to us to accept His gift of ever-lasting life. While it saddens me to think that people will spend eternity in hell, it just goes to show that God is a faithful God, He says what He means...

    Is Mary worthy of worship?

    Well, although I never look at Mary like she won the lottery how do you think I should treat her cbk? Should I pray to her? Call her mother? Deify her?

    Now I'm A Little Nervous

    I cant add to this, or correct it, but yes it was reported on fox news yesterday morning that Iraq hid wmd's in Iran and I believe syria. Why would Israel going to syria make you sweat though, just out of curiosity?

    PRISON

    I know of a couple of people who try to go back to jail, often. Why? I guess for them it's easier to NOT pay bills, to call others collect and not worry about it, they dont have to do laundry, cook or clean. Kids? Forget it, the system will take care of them, why not, we're supporting their...

    What's up with Michael Jackson?

    Ok, so maybe just because he admitted to having children sleep with him doesnt mean he had sex with them, but let me say this. If my brother in law asked or told my soon to be 13 year old daughter that she could lay in bed with him, an alarm would go off in my head. If my sister in law told my...

    Mark of the beast

    I hate to say it, but right now the only answer you will get in the eschatology section will be more confusing than you could imagine. Right now its full of people arguing and I dont think a newer christian who is looking for answers would feel comfortable in there. Anyways the mark of the beast...

    How do I approach my wife's addictions

    I would have to say the most gentle way to encourage her is to pray for her and let God do the dirty work. She can get as defensive as she wants with God, but He can handle it, and must be you can too for God gives us what we need to get through situations. I have gone through and am going...

    2nd Coming vs Rapture

    Well, in Matthew 24 Jesus says "But of the day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only" so I wonder, if no one knows, and Jesus raptures us after the tribulation, or even half way through it, then that means we WOULD know the day. Then in Revelation 20 it says"...

    If Satanism was the majority...

    More productive than christianity? How so? While there are some radical christians, as there are radicals in every group, for the most part christianity doesn't hurt anyone, doesnt promote adultery, fornication, lies, murder, etc. so even if there was no God, or no bible, what are the morals of...

    2nd Coming vs Rapture

    Not that anyone cares, but in my opinion the rapture and the second coming are 2 different things. Ok, now I have to prepare for arguments, so be it, but this is my opinion. I dont know why people claim that the rapture is some big secret...I am sure more than 2 or 3 people have heard of it...

    Jordan's King Abdullah

    So out of curiosity, if the anti-christ was already here (the time of the first century jews) then that means we are in what time frame? The 1,000 year reign? Or is this the new heaven and earth God has made? Im also curious to know, why then does the Bible lie to us? If the bible tells us that...

    Jesus coming again

    Although Jesus did say that no man knows the hour of His coming, He did give us signs to watch for. Not a whole lot of people like talking about the end-times, but this is my favorite subject to study. I dont claim to know anything, but I am always trying to learn about it.

    Man oh man, you've gotta pay white people to get 'em to go to church!

    I have an idea.... why not stand outside some bars on the weekends and pay people $10.00 not to drink and drive. Maybe they will use that money to call a cab instead.

    Would you take a bullet for Christ?

    Maybe Peter denied Jesus put of lack of courage and not necessarily out of lack of faith. See, I would love to say YES I would take a bullet for Jesus, and why shouldnt I? Did He take a nail and crown of thorns for me? But, unless God gave me the courage I doubt I would be able to just sit...

    Reasons for divorce!!!

    So do I. Speaking from living through that and chosing to stay anyway, I believe that when you vow in front of God to take care of your wife or husband, you are promising God and everyone else that you will love your wife as Christ loves the church. Last I checked, Jesus never beat the h*ll out...

    Hello everyone, here is an article about Jesus not returning, is it true? I hope not.

    I have always understood the verse in Matthew(24:34) to be one of two things; either Jesus was talking about the jews not passing until these things take place, or Jesus saying the generation to witness these things take place will not pass away. Thanks for giving a different perspective.

    Home abortions soar in Iraq as unwanted pregnancies rise

    Well, I guess I agree with yourbrother to a point on this. Maybe things ran a little smoother for alot of the Iraqi's people prior to the war. I have watched countless interviews of people who are now out of a job or home, electricity, water, food, etc. I'm not saying the war was right or wrong...
