    If you had it to do all over again.....

    I will be honest and say a few things. I wish I had finished my education, and built a bit of career for myself. I didn't think that was important (it wasn't stressed for me by my parents, not necessary for *girls*), and when I got older I did the "good Christian woman" thing and stayed home...

    I've lost my passion

    Are you thinking bible college wasn't the thing for you? What are you doing occupationally?

    The Pill causing abortion--Moved from Christian Advice

    The way the pill works is multi-faceted: it prevents ovulation in the first place; then it changes (thickens) the cervical mucous so that the egg and sperm can't get together; and *then* it changes the lining of the uterine wall so that implantation can't take place. By the time the first two...

    Damaging/polluting environment a sin?

    I think being a good steward of the earth and the things we have been given is good; but I think anything can be "overdone" and taken to extremes... then it becomes rediculous. Of course, it's a free country and people have the right to be rediculous if they would like. You have my permission...

    am i uforgivable??

    It's a little late in life to be starting something like this out of the blue, no? But I hope "treatment" includes a lock on the daughter's bedroom door.

    How long can dogs be safely muzzled? (Moved from Christian Advice)

    I couldn't tell til near the end of this thread *why* you needed to muzzle them... I thought at first it was a safety concern (dangerous breed?). Now I see it is because of barking. There are anti-barking collars on the market... some give varying degrees of electric shock (not enough to...

    Should we invite my mother to move near us?

    Honor your father and mother. No where does this suggest she has to move in, or near by, or that you have to supply her with money after she has wasted everything she has. Once she has a reasonable budget and sufficient income to meet it, that's that. You could "honor" her, make sure she's...

    Q: How should a christian act in a bar (closed)

    HA! I didn't say to "get loaded" and make a mockery of your faith! But I see no reason not to socialize, watch a football game, play pool, shoot darts, eat pizza, and/or have a beer in a bar. The Word speaks many times of drinking wine... Paul even advises Timothy to do so, and Jesus turned...

    I need some serious marital advice--Please

    I understand your shock at the "news"; however, your husband told you about the situation *before* your marriage and you could have realized that the possibility existed that this was his child. If he had sex with the woman, then the possibility existed... obviously. He was frank with you, you...

    God is punishing me?

    I agree with those who spoke of "total forgiveness". The bible says when God forgives, he throws our sins into the Sea of Forgetfulness... and we are not allowed to go fishing. So put away the poles and nets. I dealt with infertility for eight years. I have argued with Christians in forums...

    Drawing Society Security - is it acceptable?

    I once had a school mate whose mother believed alarm clocks were abominations; she believed God would wake them up when He wanted them up, after they had enough rest. As a result, that family's children were chronically late for school; they never did well in class either. So, you can find...

    Q: How should a christian act in a bar (closed)

    Q: How should a christian act in a bar Oh, he should definitely put on his crabbiest face and sit there like an old stick-in-the-mud... do NOT have any fun, by any means, because everyone knows Christians do not have fun or know how to have a good time or enjoy others' company! That will...

    Mom has disowned me

    Normally, I tell people we are commanded to honor our parents in the ten commandments; if our parents are "difficult", "honor" doesn't mean we have to involve them to any great extent in our lives. Honor can mean we only check on them now and then and make sure they have what they need to...

    Blessed are those who DONT speak in tongues!

    (The video was hard to watch as there was so much wiggling.) Not quite sure of the point, unless someone is envious of those who speak in tongues, or on the other hand, boastful of speaking in tongues. I am neither. :sorry:

    Dating

    Sooo... because there's NO ONE my own age, that's "more natural" and better for a relationship... (uhh, no one at my own level, no one I have something in common with, no one of an intellectual challenge who even has a driver's license yet...) I think I'll scrape the bottom of the barrel and do...
