Hi Amie and MyJhongfist - This has been an interesting thread. I said earlier in the thread that maybe it would be better for a child to be raised in a loving home by gay parents rather than tossed around in the system, never feeling part of a family or a sense of belonging. I go back and...

It really is a sick world. I suppose they mentioned the Priests because most people (me included, I admit) expect men of God, and especially men of the Cloth, to have higher standards. I realize that as a man of the Cloth they are still just sinful man, just like the rest of us, but I guess...

RollinTHUNDER - When I said "especially if they knew the Lord", I was speaking of the child. I am definitely not promoting gay parents, please understand. I am only wondering what effects growing up in the system would have vs. having a permanent home where a child might receive real love.

You know, I agree that a child raised by homosexual parents can have a distorted view of relationships, and I think it's wrong (especially) to have a child adopted into that environment. However, I must confess (being adopted myself)that I have wondered if it would really be better for a child...

I suppose everyone is going to have a different degree of what constitutes an actual miracle. I believe that small things that many people call coincidence, luck, or fate, are not miracles, but God's daily hand in our lives. Some people do not recognize His hand in their lives. But the big...

I agree - praying continually means keeping your dialog going all day with the Lord. It means thanking Him for the warm mornings, healthy children, loving spouses, and beautiful sunsets. It means thanking Him for the problems in your life, because you know He will see you through them. It...

The ACLU makes my blood boil... My son went to an elementary school where a picture of Jesus hung on the wall for 50 years. Fifty years!!! And the ACLU came in, and the school board caved, and took down this beautiful picture. My son was devastated, and many folks were angry. I sat my...

I'm jumping in kind of late, but I do have some opinions on the charismatic church, but I don't know if they are valid or not. Let me first say that I come from a very conservative, non-charismatic background, and married a man who grew up in one. My husband today will do backflips to stay...

The last BIG thing I received from God a few months ago was peace. After my Dad had a major stroke that left him unable to talk/walk (I am an only child so all major decisions fall on me), and we sold a house and moved, my stress level was very high and I was beginning to feel depression coming...

I think miracles are also an avenue to get the attention of unbelievers, as well as a reward for our faith...

We say the Apostles Creed in my church too, and I have always had problems with the decending into hell part. My family and I refused to say that line. The Pastor explained to me that Jesus decended into hades, or the land of the dead. It is to signify that Jesus died a real, human death. I...

Thanks everyone! Special thanks to filosofer - just want I needed! This was really for my 13 year old for something at church, but I decided to learn along with him!

Anyone have any tips/tricks to memorize the Books of the Bible in Order. I've got the NT down, but I've had a lot trouble with the OT. Probably my age... Thanks! ~kim

Depending - No, you are not doubting, nor are you questioning that He has heard. You are doing what He has asked you to do. If you pray, with belief, with thanksgiving, and you pray His will, you will receive - if it's the Lord will. And you keep praying because the Lord will answer in HIS...

I always believed that animals wouldn't be in heaven because they have no souls... but the Lord obviously loves animals - he so creatively created such a variety. And he made sure to save them two at a time... We know he even loves the little sparrow. So my guess, Solo, is he loves your dog...
