    Different levels of torture in hell

    As an answer to the original post, I would like to say that I believe that God would be more merciful to an individual who categorically rejects His existence than to an individual who believes in a false God. While an atheist may be ignorant and doomed to damnation, he at least does not accept...

    On courtship...

    In my personal experience, which I admit may not be exactly the advice you seek, it is best to allow a friendship to grow over time. When a you gain a person's trust, and he gains yours, there will be no secrets between you. This can take years, and it involves much patience and discipline. But...

    On courtship...

    What do you mean by "the courtship process"? There is a fine line here between the cultivation of an emotionally rich relationship and the sin of fornication. Beware a man who professes his intentions as pure and acts otherwise; cherish the man who keeps silent and puts your eternal salvation...

    What about Homosexuallity?

    I do not like this line of logic. Through the conscious comission of sin, one rejects Jesus Christ as his savior. Simply apologizing for this grave offense is not the key to Heaven, even if one does feel true remorse. One must live strictly by the principles set forth by Christ. If I may use...

    Meditating

    I find that meditating on scripture is not an exercise that can be led by any mortal being. My method is to read a passage and simply submit to an absolute absence of predisposition and prejudice. Through this practice, one's mind is able to grasp the implications of a passage from many...

    Fundamentalist a "bad" word?

    Forgive my inaccurate choice of words; I did not mean to "enrich oneself" as an allusion to a surfeit of personal wealth. Rather, I meant to gain eternal salvation through the acceptance of humility and goodwill, and of God's true word, which is set forth in the Gospel not to be interpreted...

    Fundamentalist a "bad" word?

    A problem I have with this, Faith.Man, is that one cannot rely on missionaries to correctly interpret the word of God. Man is inherently influenced by his nature in a manner that forces him to project his own personal biases and feelings on to the perfect word of God. One cannot gain true...
