    Pastor asked me to not come back to church

    Luke 14:26 - "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. Matthew 19:19 - "Jesus replied, 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony...

    Gold is a safe haven investment. Whatever is deemed safe haven is safe haven.

    Homosexual marriage can be constitutionally banned...

    The President's power is so weakly laid out that Congress can ignore it - Ford / Carter era proved this.

    In concrete terms: Demonstrate how gay marriage harms straight marriage.

    It's great to read sense. If it's what the people want, the country will get. One man's disagreement is another man's first amendment privilege.

    what romans 14 means

    "If anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean." - Romans 14:14 What you feel as sinful another person may not. For example, one Christian might enjoy going out with a few friends for a couple of drinks, when another reads the Bible more literally and won't take any alcohol...

    Receiving the Holy Spirit

    I believe that you receive the Holy Spirit by saying those echoing, powerful words in Romans 10 "Jesus is Lord." But the Spirit is like a child that also needs to grow, and it is grown through love and actions. Hebrews 5:11-14: We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because...

    ..the seemingly long and endless road of full time job, and school...

    During my A Levels (exams to get into university), I am glad that I worked so hard - twelve hour days weren't uncommon for a period of about month. As long as you continue to devote time to God (for me it was before I started work) and take at least some rest on Sunday, the momentary troubles...

    I wasn't looking for a debate, merely an answer. I do appreciate the devotionals you forward onto here.

    Two Minutes With The Bible

    Very interesting! Thanks for the quick summary of such a long transition. How does your passage above take on following God vs following the law though? On the one hand, we are called to his righteousness above else, yet on the other we must still be law-followers. Thanks

    Quick Question

    If you born in Iraq and have the same strength of faith that you have today, it's entirely possible that you wouldn't believe a word the Bible says but trust the Quran like you do the Bible today. How can that then be explained? Were people born into Christianity the ones who had it easy?

    Your Favorite Scripture & How It Speaks to You

    I have three (my signature): Psalm 115:16 - "The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to man." It seems that so much of Christianity revolves around God giving us Jesus (as it should be), but I think that more attention should be given to the fact that God created the...
