    Problem with approach anxiety, any help?

    As a strong introvert, I have the same fear. Witnessing is especially stressful! Just remember that the majority of people are extroverts. They LIKE talking to people, even strangers! When I'm in a store, I don't want anyone to say hi or start any small talk. The problem is, I think that's...

    Goodbye, Gop

    Good for you, wood. You must have read the Constitution!

    What's God is going to do?

    To the OP, are the polititians on the other side of this issue any better than the Pharisees? Passing laws forcing everyone to live outwardly Godly lives is not what Jesus came to earth for. Certainly He had the power to do so but didn't. Why do you think that legislation of any kind will...

    Almighty God

    Sure. Just because someone doesn't believe in something doesn't mean it's less powerfull. If by 'know' you mean 'have a personal relationship with Him' then of course. If you mean 'have knowledge of' then yes, He has created innumerable things that don't/can't know Him and no, He knows...

    Is It a Sin or a Fraud?

    Ha ha!

    I'm a devout christian but I dont know how god expects me to handle urges plz help!

    I think he's lightheartedly pointing out the vagueness of your op. Jesus says if you lust you are guilty of adultery. But I don't think he said this to convince people to stop lusting. He said this to stop people from thinking they didn't need a saviour to cover their sins. (as they were...

    Hitler vs. Newborns

    The way I think of Christ being the only way and the issue of babies is that Christ is the one who judges all. Babies will meet Him, be found innocent, and sent to the Father. I haven't found anything in scripture that contradicts this. (but I'm no theologian either)

    The Woman; In God's eyes.

    I must truely commend you for your patient and loving tone with her. I see a true Christian when I read your responses. I, and probobly most others, have a tendency to get much more combative and that doesn't really help anyone. Sorry I can't offer anything more than "Good job!" Oh, but...

    The Ethics of Physical Punishment

    This isn't forcing your beliefs on anyone? This is saying "Raise your kids according to my standards or go to jail." Seems to be water/air tight to me.

    The Ethics of Physical Punishment

    Your analogy was supposed to show that adults and children should be treated the same. No I wouldn't spank an adult. I also wouldn't sit down with one and explain how I'm dissappointed they lied to me (or whatever the wrong) and tell them I'm going to have them sit somewhere for awile etc. I am...

    The Ethics of Physical Punishment

    Then why not try all kids as adults in criminal court? Because they are not adults. Yes, bad analogy. Back to defense. A child being able to defend himself against an 'attack' from a parent has nothing to do with physical punishment. We (well, I) aren't talking about a fight. Defense...

    The Ethics of Physical Punishment

    Mmm, except I did. A child's defensive capabilities are irrelevant as is your first argument. Besides that, again, this study and your personal conclusions on physical punishment doesn't give you enough basis to tell me how to raise my kids or assert that I was raised wrong.

    The Ethics of Physical Punishment

    Yes, you have proven to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that YOU shouldn't use physical punishment. You have yet to show me any logical argument that shows why I shouldn't. The "possibility" of me going too far or adversely effecting my children or my relationship with them doesn't cut it; not...

    The Ethics of Physical Punishment

    You say physical punishment shouldn't be used. So don't use it. But to say my parents were wrong for using it is absurd and obscenely judgemental. To say you disagree with it so it should be outlawed is tyrannical. The study was NOT saying it is 100% inneffective or ALWAYS resulted in...
