    Would I be a total freak if....

    I decided to stay celibate and single? There's lots of things I'm at conflict with it the bible, about women being submissive to their husbands. Maybe I was just meant to stay single and independent... I can't believe how I can misread men's signals sometimes....and I can never stay in a...

    College sin(s)

    Here's how I'd answer your questions..... 1. If you're not underage then if it isn't to the point of drunkenness, then it's fine. 2. Just think of how the girl would feel if she knew she was part of a contest and you weren't truly interested in her. That should answer your question. 3...

    found soulmate - not a christian need advice

    Well I guess you can see why your family is concerned whether or not he's a Christian. When your partner is non-Christian they won't understand your Christian beliefs and will be influenced by popular culture and modern-day thought (assuming that you didn't agree with sex before marriage before...

    Sexual Punishment?

    Well I'm not married....but whether or not it solves this issue, you should still repent for what you did in the past and God will forgive you. Ask God to help you find an answer, as you would with any other problem, and if the request is to strengthen your marriage bond then I don't see why God...

    Keeping the cost down?

    Mr. Cheese...that is too funny. As for cheap dates, if you like sports you should have no problem..roller blading, bike riding, hiking up a mountain, etc.... You can cook dinner, if you like to cook, and make it really fancy and special. In the summer, you can go to free outdoor concerts. If...

    your greatest concern for christians today...?

    I can't believe a pastor would say that it's a shame that not everyone in the church would make it to heaven. No human can judge another person and say whether on not someone will make it to heaven. Only God knows what is in our hearts and where our hearts are. You don't know if the person who...

    I don't love God enough

    Maybe adding variety to the ways you worship God will help you grow in your faith. Perhaps by going on a summer missionary trip, or even something as simple as a retreat with other Christians can really rejuvenate your faith.

    Catholic is about to marry a protestant...is this a crime?!

    As an ex-catholic and converted protestant, I believe you need to remain catholic and promise to raise your kids as catholic in order to get the blessing of a priest. If a priest marries you, as suggested in a post that a priest and pastor be present, I think it would be quite difficult to find...

    How do Christian view supernatural...

    Well I've personally experienced mental telepathy. I have no idea where it comes from, but it eventually led me to God. Each of my "conversations" with people I had on a regular basis (which came from me, I know, and not the others because none of them had ever experienced it before) gave me a...

    Change in Beliefs...Help!

    I've never understood why some Christians think it's a sin to dance. I love to dance and I think God gave me some talent for it. But there are different ways you can dance, and you don't have to be drunk, even if some people who dance like to drink in excess. If you have a hard time drawing...

    I'll be having some people over from my college and careers group for Christmas and I'd like to make dinner-type snacks people can nibble on. We'll be going to a few different people's homes on the same night we'll have a buffet at each home. If anyone can give me suggestions or recipes that...
