    I have heard that teaching as well, then I read an article that changed my view on the "appearance of evil" scripture: http://www.experiencegrace.com/Appearance_of_Evil.html Its a pretty good read. ElderMike- Excellent analogy.

    Church Suggestions?

    Actually I was just looking for ideas about different churches to look at. You decided to turn this into a debate, not that I mind. Honest and intelligent debate keeps the mind sharp. Your second statement is correct. Adultery is a sin. Intercourse is a nessicary element of adultery...

    Church Suggestions?

    Show me where it says this in scripture. I have searched high and low and I can not find a defintion of adultery that does not include a sexual relationship. If we are not involved sexually then it is not adultery. You claim your point of view to be scriptural, please cite references...

    Church Suggestions?

    Thank you. Yes, it is. Well, we have decided not to go back at all. We thought it met our needs. We now feel that we dont want to be part of a church that would turn us away when we need help the most. I know how you felt. Were it not for a mandatory waiting period imposed by the...

    Marriage ending, please pray for us...

    He told us that we could not attend and "engage in fellowship" with his congregation. We were pretty shocked, I was disappointed at first, but now realize it is obviously for the best and we will find a church that fits us.

    Remarried in Ministry?

    I am not in full time ministry but I wish to be. Unfortunately I find myself in a difficult situation. I became a Christian when I was in Jr. High. I fully understood what it meant but I was basically a Sunday Christian. I accepted Christ as my Savior but I continued to live my life for...

    Men: Give advice, please! (Porn)

    I wouldnt say that I was "addicted" to porn mostly because when I choose to stop viewing it I didnt (and still dont) feel any need to "use" it again. I never realized how hurtful it was until my fiance` very honestly and directly (but not emotionally) told me exactly how it made her feel...

    divorced; want to remarry

    There is only one unforgivable sin: Mark 3 28I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. 29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin." Other than that all you have done can be forgiven if you...

    My fiance and I have a 2 year old daughter (well, she turns two on the 27th). We recommitted ourselves to Christ earlier this year and are living our lives for Him. We are abstaining from sex until we are married (this Feb.) and are living together platonically so that our beautiful baby girl...
