    Is belief for/against creationism important for salvation?

    I do not believe your salvation is in question if you do not accept creationism. However, it is difficult to believe in the inerrancy of the Word if you believe the beginning of the Bible is a fable. It's also a very easy "way out" for non-believers. "It's just a story book" ... "it's a...

    Faith and Works: Does it matter?

    Let's examine this ... salvation comes in two steps. belief and faith. 1st belief is not enough ... even the demons believe. Jam 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 2nd faith is God's work in us, that changes us and gives new...

    Animal lover's club!

    No native snakes are found on the islands of Hawaii, Iceland, New Zealand and Ireland ... so the import of any snakes could endanger the indigenous wildlife. I think rabbits are also illegal to keep as pets ... and now ferrets? Island life must be tough! Poor little flightless birds.

    Question regarding divorce

    Not at all ... I was simply reflecting on my own capacity to offer encouragement and biblical guidance not yours. i was not in any way saying that your posts were not genuine or compassionate or even motivated by God's Word. simply that i was offended by your statement that those of us with...

    Question regarding divorce

    I will take the bait. I personally am sharing the bible verses that tell the rules. Whether the OP chooses to divorce or not is ultimately her decision. As a "single person" I am still immersed in the word of God. the rules ARE there for a reason. the how to's and whyfor's i'm not...

    Question regarding divorce

    Since when do old testament laws supercede the law of Christ? Jesus himself says that law has changed. Matthew 19 7-9 is quite explicit. Mat 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? Mat 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of...

    Crying Husbands

    My hubby-to-be is a woman (he says so himself). He may not cry as much as I do ... but he is so delicate and sensitive that he cries frequently. Almost always during prayer and worship time, but especially during the struggle we've been thru these last few months regarding God's will for our...

    Stalemate....should I just give in?

    i don't think anyone is suggesting that she get off the pill and get pregnant. the scripture says that the husband is the wife's and the wife is the husband's ... but it also says that he is supposed to take care of her. the only reason any of us suggest she should go off the pill is for her...

    Stalemate....should I just give in?

    that is exactly how it should be. the burdon of keeping your eggs unfertilized should not be yours alone. if it is he who does not want to have children yet then he needs to take some responsibility. you should share the chore together. it is a frivolity if it is being used as recreation rather...

    How did you and your SO meet?

    My husband-to-be and I met at work. Remarkably enough we've spent most of our lives in similar circles. For instance I grew up with the backup guitarist in his band. He was at nearly every concert I've ever been to. He started dating this girl that sat in front of me (very briefly) and...
