Well - the New Testament has many verses commanding us to love our enemies, and those who hate or persecute you. These are just a few: Matthew 5:44 (NLT) But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! Luke 6:35 (NLT)“Love your enemies! Do good to them. Luke 6:27-28 (NLT)...

The fact that you get faint while reading is a bit worrisome. You don't say how long you read standing or sitting. If your getting faint I would suggest sitting. I'm not into the belief you have to suffer to learn about God. I suggest getting into a bible study group or a study partner...

No - you can't abandon your mother but you are going to have to draw a mental line not to cross so you don't go down the same path. For yourself I suggest some private time each day where you meditate or listen to uplifting music or do something that makes YOU feel positive to counter your...

I know many former Catholics for the very reasons you list. Once they started reading the Bible they found many questions. They found they were worshiping the Catholic Church more than God. I was raised Baptist but consider myself nondenominational because I choose to make my own decisions on...

If you read the whole chapter in Isaiah you will see they are talking about the King of Babylon who defied God. Isaiah 14:4 NIV you will take up this taunt against the King of Babylon: How the oppressor has come to an end! How his fury has ended! The King had more riches than any ruler had...

Getting married to "get married" when you do not love that person is abusive. Your giving someone the job of making you happy - something only you can do. Then you will make both of you miserable because of your impossible expectations. If you find someone and love them, and just being with them...

Actually - if you read the New Testament Jesus was constantly accused by the Priests and Pharisees as breaking Jewish Laws - Healing on the Sabbath, doing miracles on the sabbath, defending an adulterer from stoning. Seems Jesus thought little of legalizm when he helped those less fortunate. So...

I'd consider it the first act of obedience and submission. The thief on the cross was saved but obviously did not have time to get baptized. But accepting Jesus as the Son of God, having died to pay for your sins, and your savior is only the first step. Your next step is to be reborn in him...

There is a certain racist term use for people of colored skin that is very derogatory and starts with N. Well - Racists are the new Ns because that is how much respect the rest of the world has for a racist. I only reference that horrible word to help you totally grasp how little respect I have...

I think you mixing separate issues. All women who support women's rights don't dress or act the way women are protracted on television. In fact part of this March was protesting that women shouldn't have to be a "10", have a boob job, and dress sexy to get a job. The very people you suport...

Well - men have been having sex without consequence since creation. And last time I checked - daughters were family members too. So if women are marching for women's rights I see that as fighting for their daughter's future. With an attitude like yours I would be very surprised if any woman...

I don't think it has any effect on prophecy at all. Israel says it's the capital-its the capital. Thinking God cares if we (the United States) recognizes that or not is to think the choice is ours and not God's. It's very USA centric and in a way puts the USA in God's role. It's that self...

Seems to me the forgot one of the most important messages of the Bible "do on to others" - well they did on to others and they are doing right back. If you think that the march was only about abortion - then that is on you because you stopped listening when you made that choice. It was about...

I really suggest going modern - get a tablet. Then get the olive tree and kindle apps. It won't be much more $ and in the long could save you some $. With the olive tree app I can switch between NIV, NLT, ESV, KJ21, ...,. I have over 20 bible versions now. I can set the font size as big or...

Some churches believe this as a part of their historical doctrine written by people with that opinion. But I am more of an independent - while I go to a church of one denomination I make my own choices by studying what the Bible says on the matter, then historical practices on the matter and...
