    Is Salvation really a gift?

    Okay. You don't think that sin is an inherent trait in humans? It just seems like we 'have' to sin. Granted, we do choose to sin quite a bit. And if these were the only sins that needed forgiven then again I'd be okay with all of this. But we do need those sins saved that seem to happen for no...

    Poll - Once Saved Always Saved

    I guess you would be thinking that accepting Christ in your heart is equal to Salvation? I said that because many people in my experience see Baptism as the first starting point of Salvation. Don't you guys think this idea is a little ridiculous? I mean I become genuinely saved and then I...

    Poll - Once Saved Always Saved

    Is this OSAS mean that you can be baptized and given salvation then you can never lose it even if you become a blatant and horrible sinner? Or is this something else?

    Is Salvation really a gift?

    Okay Van, I understand your first paragraph and agree with it. "So by the numbers, you are condemned at conception, in a sinful state separated from God, and you are corrupted from conception as a consequence of Adam's sin, which results in your fleshly desires, or in other words you are...

    Is Salvation really a gift?

    Okay...I honestly feel like you do not understand my thoughts here. And I think it has a lot to do with my poor wording previously. Alright I'm going to try and boil this down to something simple and as clear as I can think of how to explain it. I feel like Adam and Eve would have sinned...

    Is Salvation really a gift?

    "If more than one outcome is possible then that which brings forth the outcome does not necessitate either outcome." This is true, but completely ignoring what I have said so far. I am saying that God created us this way, not that we chose to sin ourselves. I'm not going to repeat this idea...

    Sex and intimacy?

    Okay. I can understand a little more now. But my point remains. You already plan to get married. Is asking him to not have sex for a few months enough to push him away from you or strain your relationship? If it does then either he doesn't care enough about you or your relationship needs to grow...

    whats the difference?

    I don't know the answer to this question, but you probably know a school counselor or a place where you could find one. I'm sure they could answer this question for you. God bless friend.

    Is Salvation really a gift?

    Thank you for the seriousness of your post. I'm sorry I don't know how to use the quote option here, but hopefully this will be fine. "If sin is a necessity of life then salvation must be a necessity. No, if you are not saved, you get perfect justice. So salvation is not a necessity." -I'm...

    Sex and intimacy?

    Livingdeadgirl, I'm sorry for Elijah's posting. I would like to offer some advice for you if I may. I don't know the full story behind what's going on. I don't know why you broke up or any of that. But it seems to me that you do truly like him, and him you. Again, I don't know much about what...

    Is Salvation really a gift?

    We live in a world that is universally affected by sin. Paul states this in the Bible, all have fallen short of the glory of God. I can’t stop sinning. If you claim that you can then you are wrong. Even the most ‘upstanding Christian’ would tell you that they still sin, even if it is mere...

    Please help

    I can't fast for physical reasons but I will definitely pray about this. For the problem itself and for you. To persevere and find ways to help others with this. Sounds like you really want to try and change this, and I admire that you are trusting God with this. God Bless friend.

    how do I find a place to live off-campus?

    I'm guessing you aren't around the area you will be living in right? Because I would just drive around looking and get some ad's at local stores that have places to rent in them. You can search for apartments online in the area, it is usually reliable and will show you what the place looks like...

    Navy Seal

    Two things Navy SEALS are always taught: Keep your priorities in order. Know when to act without hesitation. A college professor in the North East, an avowed atheist and active in the ACLU, was teaching his class. He shocked several of his students when he flatly stated that for once and...
