    File Sharing, or, downloading music

    That's kind of what I was getting at. You covered what I was feeling. But in addition to that, I also write and record my own music and leave it out on the internet for anyone to download if they choose to. Of course, I am not in the music business, but I wouldn't put it out there if I didn't...

    Jesus never mentions pre-marital sex . so why the ban?

    Why do you respond like that? When someone poses an honest question on here, other people think it's okay to get snippy and take them down a notch. No one is better than anyone else, and they are not wrong for having an honest question.

    If you died today would you have died a happy man/woman??

    I am in the exact same position as you. It's a yes and no answer for me for the same reasons. When I die, I feel there will be a lot to look forward to in a life with the Lord, assuming that I make it into Heaven (hopefully!), but there is still a lot left on this earth that I haven't done yet...

    File Sharing, or, downloading music

    I didn't know if this should go to this ethics section or an advice section, but what is your general opinion on file sharing, or, illegally downloading music or any other media? I have a feeling a lot of people on here will probably tell me it's wrong and sinful, and I guess I agree to some...

    Insight needed, WWYD?

    Now, now, I didn't want to start an uproar. I definitely see both sides, it was just a simple question. Thanks to those that saw my view and also those that brought me insight. I don't think I'd be saying anything anytime soon, but prayer for them and their wives is a good solution for now.

    Why are so many christians totally miserable?

    I used to really dislike people, but until recently I have started to open up more and allow more interactions to take place. I still feel relatively awkward and abnormal sometimes hah but it's part of the learning experience. I tend to stay away from social events as well though, there's...

    Why are so many christians totally miserable?

    Well, it definitely has it's ups and downs still, that's for sure. But I think it's a better situation than a year to a couple years ago. I mean, okay, let's be real, I'm 20 now, will be 21 in December, but compared to being a teenager, there's more responsibilities but it's more enjoyable. I...

    Insight needed, WWYD?

    Insight needed, WWYD?

    Well, I was in the locker room and they were talking with raised voices, it's kind of hard not to hear that. That's what I was saying though, it isn't any of my business but then at the same time how would you feel if your significant other was talking like that about you? I just posed an...

    Why are so many christians totally miserable?

    I have to agree with some things that are being said here. I love God, am close to God and speak to him more often than anyone I know. I have my good days and I have my bad days too, but even through terrible days and depressing moods, I get the feeling that everything will be okay someday...

    Insight needed, WWYD?

    Hello all once again! I guess I was at least somewhat raised like a gentleman and taught, though not directly, the right and wrong things to say. I was in the locker room at my work, men's locker room of course and I could overhear a conversation between a couple of guys just saying very rude...

    Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim?

    Oh, I see how it is Niobium, I see how it is... haha thanks, I didn't see your post was already there, I was just interested in what the Christian community thought of it. I will be checking yours out for sure though!

    Will God allow me?

    Sometimes you need to just work things out for yourself. I used to be completely un-sociable, if that's a word. But over time I think you work through it. Comfortability is key, if you're not comfortable, you're not going to be very sociable. I personally wouldn't take anything that effected...

    Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim?

    Hey everyone, just wondering what anyones take is on the Elder Scrolls games, the new Skyrim in particular. I literally haven't played video games in over a year. This game is huge, lots to do and extremely fun RPG's, but wondering what everyone's viewpoint is on it.
