    God, free will, sinning and hell

    Hmm. I see what you're saying, but it does not resonate with me. Perhaps I just can't conceive of some thing creating solar systems and stars and planets with humans and animals living on one of those planets (that we know of) for the sole purpose of making himself look good. Isn't that what is...

    God, free will, sinning and hell

    When God gave us free will, did he know that he was making us so that we deserve hell? Why didn't he design us to live perfect lives in the first place, so he never would have had to give his son up for sacrifice? Those who believe in hell most likely don't want to go there, so why did God make...

    Older guys and younger girls

    WELL... I guess I'll put in my two cents. I'm nearly 18, and for this whole last year I've been dating a 24 year old (who in about 20 days is turning 25). In the beginning it was a bit weird, and I couldn't trust that he wasn't using me because he thought he could get some. Turns out that wasn't...

    How far is too far?

    Yes, I'm hoping he can understand that. And I also hope he can trust that I really am truthful when I say I've changed and I want to do what's best; not do whatever I can to use him, in continuation of how I've always been with relationships. I've realized that my habits/sexual vices need to...

    How far is too far?

    You're right. I don't even know if he wants to take this further. I'm guessing he... might? because we've been hanging out an awful lot, and late at night. Also, I told him about how I feel a few months ago when we took a huge long walk on the beach... He said he felt mutual attraction...

    How far is too far?

    Thank you so much for posting! That excerpt does make a lot of sense. It demonstrates a new way of thinking about our relationship, and perhaps that is the way my friend has been thinking all along and I am just now realizing it. I think time will tell, with us. And I do think I will have to...

    How far is too far?

    So I have this friend... and we're both single, we're both into the same things, etc. We like each other. We're VERY attracted to each other, but we definitely know how to refrain... so far. The only problem is within me, I suppose. I am a recent convert to Christianity, and I have vowed to...

    Boyfriend is an atheist

    I just wanted to let you all know, that prayers actually DO get answered... mine did. The other night I decided that this relationship between my boyfriend and I was not going to work out. Not just because I became Christian... there was a multitude of other reasons. I prayed the night before...

    Boyfriend is an atheist

    First, thank you all for your tremendous help. I appreciate this from the bottom of my heart. I've set boundaries for us regarding sex. I have explained to him that it is wrong for me to continue doing this because I'm underage and it's against the law for one thing, and also I don't want to...
