    What's wrong with having sex before marriage? Just a question.

    trying to find church which uses the bible in perth

    I used to live in Perth. I went to a church with an excellent preacher called Phil Stevenson. I don't know if he is still around, as the church closed down. I would be interested to know if he is.

    smacking children

    Point taken - I guess the word smack gives me a more serious mental picture. Good topic to discuss anyway. In the case of writing to may local political reprasentatives though... I don't think I'll go that far.

    smacking children

    I won't be writing at all. I think it is not right to smack children - especially past a certain age. I was smacked as a child and it certainly caused a rift between myself and my parents. If you guys think of discipline as purely physical you are in a lot of trouble.

    Christian Sexuality

    Yes good post Mission. Quite frankly I'm supprised at the reluctance of people to help Stephen out - it's a fair question. My suggestion would be for Stephen to try and isolate his temptation - if its magazines throw them away, if it's video get rid of your video player, if its the net then...

    Hi guys just thought i would introduce myself

    Macca - there are a lot of people on this forum that don't go to church for one reason or another. Paul was certainly a great believer in the Body of Christ. However Jesus did not command us to go to church - and at the end of the day Paul isn't Jesus. I do also believe in what you are saying...

    Hi guys just thought i would introduce myself

    I guess both. I believe in what Christ has done, but I tend to refer more to God in general - after all Jesus taught us to pray to God.

    Hi guys just thought i would introduce myself

    Well I'm 24, don't go to church, but still believe in God - so I guess we're in similar situations. I like reading/music and have a strong interest in religion and theology in general. I don't know if I'll end up going to church. Apart from the fact that I work on Sundays I don't feel that...

    What church do you go to?

    That's very interesting Bevlina. What's wrong with having a Catholic background? I've never thought that could cause problems. As for the tongues thing - that has always made me quite uncomfortable and is one of the reasons I didn't like going to church. Mainly because I didn't have that gift...

    What church do you go to?

    Alternatively - is it wrong if I don't go to church? This is a question that really puzzles me.

    What church do you go to?

    I'm in the same boat as Melissa. Went to church for years... don't go now. And don't really know what to do. I feel a bit turned off by the new trend of big-expensive looking churches with huge sound systems. Why do churches have to revolve around this stuff? I would probably go if I found one...

    planet shakers - cult!?

    I think that people are generally concerned when they see mass-gatherings of religious groups. Probably because individuals who are leading these groups (like Planet Shakers) get placed in a position of great power when they address such large numbers. I have never attended Planet Shakers...
