They say love is blind--but is it? I think real love for another always endures, hopes and forgives [scriptural]...at times beyond what we should as far as our own health and well being in romantic relationships 'exclusively.' I believe our desires and hopes 'can' overrule our logic and...

During great times of despair, such as family death, divorce, etc. we watch many Christians slide. Are the majority of believers truly living for God or this current life we have on this earth? I consider this with sin that occurs without despair. For example 'choosing' a path because it...

This is a good question. :-) Since the beginning salvation was based on 'grace.' We find in the NT that Abraham and King David were acknowledged by grace and not works, despite the fact that many felt the 'law' itself saved them versus God's gracious gift of salvation. In this God is a...

Sickofitall, I am going to give you a secular saying I learned from college: As a man thinks, so he will become (Emerson). Emerson pondered on religion quite profusely and actually is one of the leaders of the Universal Unitarian religion (this is where all religions come together as...

Memebuster, I agree with the answers given, but I will give you a secular psychological opinion (despite being Christian). For centuries there have been a variety of gods...so it would indeed appear that people 'want' to believe there is a creator. Why? To make sense out of life and death...

Going, going gone! 98 blessings (I'll make that an even 100) to nanajojothatsme!

Gets 98 blessing... That easy. :clap: (I'm a push over like that:D )!

Can'tthinkofausername... So...you are saying there is nooooo Santa?:D I did not grow up in a house where Santa was taught. I would sit down and explain the story to my children, but the fat jolly man would not be suited for or in my house! (no celebration over red fat men with his red noses...

Whoever blessed me with 'extreme' generousity...thank you so much. I logged in and said 'wow' this morning (prior to making a blessings bank deposit of more blessings than I've ever been blessed with before)!! You have given me more to bless others with! Much apprecriated and much love...

Here in CA...you will always have a salvage title on a salvaged car to my understanding (even after inspections required on salvage titles--correct me if I am wrong though). After my accident I was told this, but my car ended up being returned to me without a salvage title. It can still be...

The bible says there are 'three' that bear account in Heaven. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In truth there is only 'One' God -- so Christianity is not a polytheist belief. The Trinity doctrine was introduced as man's effort to 'explain' the nature of God. I don't like the usage...

Hmmmm...a lot of well written questions. You are correct, translators of the Bible did tend to place the scriptures categorically. I took a class in college that went over these different categories that you are intelligent enough to see on your own. The different categoies should help you to...

Although already said, what makes you so sure you have not seen an angel. In Scripture, after Christ's death ... not even He was recognized at one point. The simple answer is we are in the flesh and we see with eyes that are fleshly...and looking for those things that we 'know' and...

Hi WON! :wave: I have been a skeptic my whole life of 'all' religions. The one thing I have tested and it has proven to be the 'truth' -- is the Bible. I do not claim to be a religious person as the Bible itself shows the sin in man forming false religions and adhering to 'faith' for...

Siphon, God is love. He is not a dictator that we should be enslaved. Would you desire not to have free will? It is not that God will not stop evil. He does and ultimately all evil will be destoyed. It is that God loves us enough to allow us choices. It would be as easy as the flood to...
