Meat grosses me out. It's as simple as that for me.

Well, I can only answer for me. I believe in Heaven and Hell. I believe that Jesus died for our sins. I'm just not sure that believing in Jesus as our personal savior is the ONLY way to get to paradise. God works in mysterious ways. We can't say for sure that there's only one path.

How do you deal with John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (ESV) Seems contradictory at times. Jesus professes that anyone who believes in him will have everlasting life, but the Bible goes on to say people of...

I'm pro-life and I think PP provides invaluable birth control and health services for low-income persons. I went there for bc when I couldn't get a doctor's appointment and every woman in the waiting room was pregnant. Not getting abortions. For many women PP is the first stop of getting gov't...

Thanks. I kind of misunderstood the faith icon. I was baptized a Presbyterian because it's the church were my parents were married, but was rasied as a Quaker/liberal Mennonite. We didn't even use the Bible in meeting. We read it at home, let the holy spirit fill us to determine the truth, and...

Don't know. Don't care. All I think I'm responsible for is not judging you.

I'm having a crisis of faith. I still believe in God, always have. I believe in Jesus as the son of God. I still believe God created the earth and in some kind of old creation/theistic evolution mix. I don't doubt that the people in the Bible were real. But I'm having a problem with the...

I'm glad you got your Bible. To others who have this issue, though, they sell the KJV for $1 at DollarTree.

I'm going to second that premarital counciling because I really wish we had thought to sign up for some.

In general, things that typecast all men like this or all women like that annoy me because people buy into it and then we all have to hear about the "fact." The only one I think might be offensive is #1 and I think it's untrue for many men-- not that they get credit for it. My husband doesn't...

Well, at the end of this month, my husband is planning to go to from our home in PA to see two games in WV, two more in TN, and two more in VA-- all over the course of four days! I have tried it and it's horrible for me to have to sit in the car that much. Literally, we only have time to stop...

I remember reading a copy of USA Weekend which polled the opinions of teens. One girl was quotes as saying that when she marries, that her husband have the same morals and life goals as here would be more important than love. I thought she was crazy. 2.5 years into marriage and I understand. You...

This is kind of a touchy subject for me. My husband has this quest to travel across the country to see every baseball stadium in the country. I try to be supportive, but I don't want to be left alone for a week plus while he travels and vacations on his own in addition to his business trips. To...

We cannot afford a home where we live. How we fixed it is we stopped trying to afford a home. I know that sounds simplistic, but sometimes you have to admit defeat. I'm also very worried that I won't be able to provide for myself if something should happen to my husband (pray not!) because...

As opposed to what? Pretending they don't exist? Banning homosexual sex? Tossing gay children from the home? Saying rude things about them really loudly as you pass by their home on a summer day? Doing anything one can to make their lives miserabe because of their lifestyle? You mean they...
