I think attraction is important. But I find the more time you spend with The Lord the more your ideas about attraction chang/ evolve. I also think it's interesting that some of the men I thought of as "hot", are lacking in other areas. Things like kindness, integrity, and having virtue just look...

Yes, the above information is not something you could necessarily have answered by a Christian because it violates so much of the Christian "experience" and intuitive knowledge. Just a brief breakdown that you're probably aware of in "head knowledge" but maybe haven't placed under bullet...

Great topic! I think the above is a pretty close definition. I've encountered quite a few groups that would deny swaying from Christian doctrine, and yet they do. Certain groups will talk love, and forgiveness, they will even talk about peace; but the Bible really is very plain as day about...

Yeah, this really isn't as big a deal as you've allowed Satan to make it in your mind. God doesn't fall off his throne everytime you check out some girl's butt on the street. You need to start thinking and dealing with yourself as God's child, and you'll find yourself renewing your mind to...

Probably not a pedo. Not that I couldn't talk to someone who was one, or that I wouldn't judgmental of that past, but it's kids. A guy who went to prison/trial for rape would have to tell me this after we've dated for a while and we really established a connection. It can't be some first...

All the women I went to college thought this way. I believe my mother called it getting your H.U.B., or M.R.S. degree. But my friends would simply say they wanted to be "baby machines". These were usually women who went to college for no other reason that to be in college. Alot of women got...

I'm here to encourage but if I've stepped on your toes, God will heal your toes. There's plenty of bad news out in the world and you can definitely read it in the Word, but I just think we should be building each other up in the Lord. God bless.

It's true Christians experience persecution, and we have the same problems as people who don't have a relationship with God, but the knowledge of God will multiply grace and peace into your life. If your relationship with God is not producing this in your experience, something's wrong. It's...

People have said things I believe are truth, and so I'm going to use other poster's words to get to my POV. I believe this is the start of getting things together. Depression is really a matter of someone taking a perspective that either 1.doesn't factor in God and His answer, 2. it...

The past can be romanticized because it's in the past, and you can never go back. No, I don't believe there was a time when everyone was operating in love to such a degree that they were kind or courteous to everyone. That's a fantasy. I do believe there was a time when staying Peter Pan until...

It depends. From a woman's perspective. if the woman was a non-believer, I don't believe two should have a connection until spiritual talk came into play, and so the man can praise God for delivering them from a "wishy washy" person who wasn't looking to grow a friendship first. But there...

What Saucy said. A person who held onto Jewish rites and passages would not see eye to eye with the New Testament for me, and would therefore not be compatible for romance. Legalism is not just a difference in opinion for me. It makes people hard, cantankerous, self-righteous, and the list...

He's not talking about the actual person Esau. He's talking about the descendants of Esau who didn't go on to serve God. In fact God went on to bless Esau, provided him with land, and told Jacob not to even think about trying to take his land.

Um, yeah you can give your body to be burned, and do it motivated out of something other than God's kind of love... and unfortunately it profits you nothing. That's not to say it won't profit someone. 1 Corinthians 13:3 I didn't say the world's kind of love didn't have any profit or value...

I agree with the principle. I do believe there is a counterfeit to God's kind of love, and that's pretty much the kind of love the world uses. 1 John 4:15 talks about this, and so does John 15:19. The world's kind of love is based on the other person, their behavior, and how much they...
