    How far is too far? (wait, there's a twist!)

    Because I haven't evaluated the topic for some time, and really none of the stances seem to make complete sense to me, nor have I been able to compile the arguments needed to make a logical conclusion on the issue myself. The two articles that were left here are a bit too basic and cliche'...

    How far is too far? (wait, there's a twist!)

    I'll apologize because I know this is probably one of (if not) the most brought up topics in this section. But lately I've needed to re-evaluate my stance on this. I've read tons online and on forums, it's been my favorite religious subject for quite a few years...I'm pretty sure I've heard/read...

    Marriage > Moving > Careers HELP! (A bit long)

    Mrs. K - Seems like you already have a plan for what you'd like to do, so I'm not so sure exactly what sort of advice you'd be looking for (you're usually a better judge of how to run your life than a random stranger from online =P). Maybe you just wanted some approval of your current plan so...

    living together and remaining abstinent

    Sounds like a pretty darn reasonable solution to me.

    Is it true that once you are saved you....

    Well, the most basic answer is that no one on these boards is God, so we have no authority to make statements about who goes to heaven and who does not. But, just for kicks, here's my take on the question. If you believe in Jesus Christ as God's son, believe in the resurrection, and knowing such...

    Is joking around a sin?

    Man...I hope not...or I am so going to hell. =P

    Need devotional/study suggestions

    *tries hard to not reply rudely* Of course I want to grow in Christ in all ways and have that flow into my relationship. However, just as married people might want a study specifically focussed on marriage and sex, we would like one that focusses on dating with marriage being the goal. We...

    Need devotional/study suggestions

    Howdy there. My girlfriend and I are looking for a study to do together, that would be focussed on making our relationship stronger. I went over to our local Berean today, but failed to find anything I like. My qualifications would be as follows: Any subject, but must be geared towards the...

    Question on tv porn

    Did you ask him why he was watching it if he didn't get anything out of it, and did he have an answer for you? Obviously he is getting something out of it, or he wouldn't do it, but it would be hard to say what he's getting out of it. More than likely it's sexual arousal by viewing others having...

    does god?...

    I'm pretty sure there is no specific reference to marijuana in the Bible, but that can be said about many things. We do know many basic things that can always be used to define the rightness or wrongness of certain actions. For this particular situation, I would consider two things. The first is...

    Church Dilemma

    I fail to see how additional time worhsiping and learning could be a bad thing...if they help your relationship with God, go. If only one does, go to it. If neither does, go to neither. All things should be done with that as the main criteria check.

    Cousins liking each other?

    I guess it still means what you mean by attracted. If you mean, visually attracted, as in you find the person attractive to the eyes, you cannot stop that. I see both men and women that are good looking all the time, I see some with nice breasts and butts, and others who don't. If you mean...

    Orgnanized (Christian) Religion

    I didn't like that translation much, so I look it up in mine (New Living). =P It reads as: "Now let me give you a word of advice, and may God be with you. You should continue to be the people's representative before God, bringing him their questions to be decided. You should tell them God's...

    Cousins liking each other?

    Attracted, used in this context, has a pretty vague meaning. If you could give more details on what your specific feelings/actions/thoughts are it may make it easier to offer advice that might have some use to you. ^_^ (I like this face! He bounces up and down like Tigger!)

    Cousins liking each other?

    In a previous message you talk about a long distance relationship with a fiance? If you have a fiance, shouldn't your cousin know you're taken, and shouldn't that be enough in itself to fight any attraction you might have to him?
