    can Christians watch horror movie's?

    Not sure why a Christian would want to watch a horror movie.

    What conditions would have to be in place for you to not believe a god exists?

    None. Even if the whole world suddenly disappears, nothing could change my belief that God exists. I've seen him work in too many miraculous ways in the lives of myself and others to deny his existence.

    Christians: How do you reconcile the problem of evil?

    God has done something and he does love everyone. He sent his son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to free us all from the eternal death we would have had to endure for our own sins. Jesus, took our sins upon himself. But because Jesus was sinless those sins could not kill him, unlike how we...

    heaven

    The person I love most is Jesus, and he will be in Heaven. But if we are talking about someone on earth whom I deeply care for (like my husband and children) my earnest prayer is that they too will remain in a loving relationship with Jesus so that we can all be there.

    What do I do when my wife says she hates me?

    Dear OP, There is a root problem your wife is dealing with. Pray and ask God to reveal to you what the root of all her negativity is coming from and ask him to show you how to help her with it so that your marriage may be healed and become more loving. I have seen this before in a...

    Marriage is hard work :(

    I know what you mean about wishing to clone yourself. I sometimes wish there were 3 of me: one for hubby, and one for each of our two children. Three tips that helped me a lot: 1) Take a break in the midst of mess: For example, a deep bath as soon as kids are napping or in bed for the...

    Marriage is hard work :(

    Hubby and I had similar disagreements when our kids were little. Seems many think being a stay at home mom is a walk through the park. I realize that he just could not understand unless he experienced it himself. Then I got the flu real bad and I couldn't be the nurse, mom and wife I usually...

    Please help: Struggling to understand contribution and financial issues with husband.

    Hi JackieCM, I remember when my husband and I first got married, I dealt with the same issue. In my case I went from earning my own money to being a stay at home mom when our son was born during our second year of marriage. It was a joint decision for me to stay home, but I initially felt...

    Are you going to watch the movie "Noah" with Russel Crowe?

    In answer to the OP - No, I would not see it. Why would I read God's true account of the flood in the Bible and then go and intentionally fill my head with a false account laden with lies and error in total contradiction to his Holy Word? For this reason alone it makes absolutely no sense for...

    Noah Movie and protecting the faith

    I would not want to see it. Why would I read God's true account of the flood in the Bible and then go and intentionally fill my head with a false account laden with lies and error in total contradiction to his Holy Word? For this reason alone it makes absolutely no sense for me to see the...

    Living a lie.. hell?

    astray13, The fact that you are this concerned about whether or not keeping this lie going is appropriate for a Christian to do shows that you also know you must clear the air about it. It is bothering your conscience because you need to be set free from it, yet you are afraid of the possible...

    Fear of hell

    In response to your original post: Aside from this very rational fear, is there any reason for anyone to actually want to become or remain a "christian?" For me personally, I do not serve God because I fear hell. I serve him because I love Him and I am in awe of who He is. Therefore, I...

    The Godly Truth About Bikini's FINALLY Someone Gets It!

    Hello TheDag, Yes, God looks at the heart. I do not expect a person who is not in a surrendered relationship to Christ to put primary focus on serving God with their bodies. But I do expect a Christian to be able to reason from the scriptures on such matters. And I do understand too that as...

    The Godly Truth About Bikini's FINALLY Someone Gets It!

    You are right. Hence, I stay away from even one-piece bathing suits. I might add though, that most bikinis show a lot more than just the midriff. They are the equivalent to walking around in our under garments. Something we would deem improper to do anywhere else, yet acceptable at the beach...
