    President Bush as you've never seen him

    I think dubb-ya is more of a Texas Two-Step or Cactus Cha-cha kind of guy.

    Question about marriage

    You seem to already realize this, but don't think all, or even most, men are non-committal or untrustwurthy, unfaithful, because you were hurt by one of us who was not. Lots of us believe 100% in committment, and will do whatever it takes to make it work. God bless you!

    Shacking Up!

    I once heard an evangelist friend of mine tell a couple that if their commitment was real, they shouldn't be afraid of any little piece of paper, to make it legal.

    Of course, you are right, Geetrue. I have no doubts about my manhood, am not outwardly afraid of getting close (not physically, or course) with men. but it somehow seems there is this closed gate, and I can't find the key. It is sooo much easier to really feel empathy deeply for a woman, and...

    I don't know. I can tell you that I am not the world's best communicator, but am sincere. I am definately not mocking you. Maybe because of what I said about temptation? I believe that, and a man and woman should not be so vulnerable to each other, unless married or related. It IS dangerous.

    Yes, Ma'am. It would surely lead to temptation for many if women when about supporting men having problems. I, for my part, have always tried to reach out to men (well, always since I met Jesus), but it is pretty uncommon among men. When something goes wrong at home, my wife generally turns...

    I do not think it should be that way, but it always has been for me. I tell you, if I made a connection with someone who I could see genuinely felt for me when I was hurting, I probably would have cried, tears would have welled, for the first time in my memory.

    Hey, QC, not that I am feeling sorry for myself, but in reality, when have I ever gotten support from anyone when I was having problems. There were a few short periods when i was in groups that were trustworthy, but getting it from just anyone? Not for a healthy, strong male. It just don't...

    Righteousness

    God see's the spirit, and receives each of us as we are. Since the true purpose of sin is to hurt the heart of God, and the way Satan (the father of lies, twisted behavior and thought, and sin) uses sin is to get us to do things that 1). directly hurt the heart of God. 2). hurt us, which hurts...

    Getting to know you - 5 Questions

    Very cool testimony! I think God will use you to turn people around, give life to the dead and dying, and sight to the blind! God bless you!

    If God is so good, then why does He allow people to go to Hell?

    You are absolutely right, Jim. Perhaps my little analogy lacked even more than I thought when I posted it. Good post!

    WHY is it so HARD to be RIGHTEOUS?

    It's really easy. Not that I never mess up, I do. But, I let God tell me how to handle it from there. That's all there is to it. If I get mad and swear at work (a hazard of working on steel, at altitude, alone, for so many years, in all kinds of weather), and people hear me, I say "God, how...

    If God is so good, then why does He allow people to go to Hell?

    God made a very intelligent car (you), and gave that car it's own bill of sale (title). You can say "God, I hold the title, but I hold it for you. You own me". If someone messes with God's car, he has something to say about it. Or you can say "I am going to sell this title to someone else...

    Would allowing students to have guns at Virginia Tech have prevented the massacre?

    Not by a LONGSHOT, Jim, I barely got started, but this just seems too ridiculous, cartoonie for me.

    If God is so good, then why does He allow people to go to Hell?

    Because they are bad, silly! It's a basic premise of Christianity. I do know there are those who would confuse the issue.

    Why would God allow what happened at Virginia Tech?

    It's a country where they tried restricting gun ownership to curb violent crime, and were rewarded with ever-increasing violent crime.
