    Incorporating the real meaning of Christmas into my celebrations

    I don't know if this would taking it a bit too far, but you could always buy/make a birthday cake. When your friends ask you why you have a birthday cake for Christmas you can tell them that it is because it's Jesus' birthday. I have some friends who do that with their family every year... it...

    Further complications of divorce...

    Jenna, I don't want to pretend to understand your situation completely, but I know how had it is to deal with a parents divorce. I'm currently dealing with my parents getting a divorce also, and I think it is almost harder when you are older and therefore know better what is right and wrong...

    First off, I would like to let you know that when arguing a theological point it is ok to express your views, but it is NOT ok to tell somebody that they are wrong because they are also entitled to their opinion. This is especially wrong when both sides have sufficient Biblical text to support...

    No, the creation order did not change at all. YES adam was created before Eve. But Adam and Eve (i.e. Men and Women) gained equality through Christ our Savior. And before I go to bed please consider this: If you ask the wrong questions of the Bible, you are going to get the wrong answers...

    15But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. (and to my previous post...... Timothy was believed to be simply inspired by Paul)

    Ok, I thought you might be refeering to me. I DID NOT say that he broke down culture laws... He broke down the walls of the temple which created men and women to be equal in the Temple. That is much different than culture.

    No Paul did not agree with culture. The whole reason he wrote the letters that he did was because he saw something that he didn't like in a certain church and wanted to set the Christians there straight. I don't get where you are going with this though.

    Please forgive me. The way that you worded your post I was under the impression that your Grandmother was a believer and a preacher of the word.

    Women Preachers

    Please keep in mind that ALL the pronouns in the bible are "he" "him" or "his" because that was what was proper during those times to do. And I don't believe your grandma is going to hell because since when are some sins worse than others? Did not Jesus forgive ALL sins? Not that I'm...

    I'm sorry that you guys all feel that way about women being preachers. I have a feeling you are going to miss some awesome preaching because of your views. Perhaps your minds need to be opened a little more than they are. I also hope that before coming to the views that you have that you've...
