That's wonderful! Congrats :D

Oops! Missed this post...repentance is a long process sometimes. A whole lifetime of habits take a lot of time and Holy support to break. God listens to the heart rather than the lips, and God knows when someone wants to change.

I'm not assigning injustice and unconcern to Him...I must have said it wrong, I apologize. But after that post, I don't know what we are disagreeing about here. I agree with you on this...but, though my relationship with God has developed a lot over the past year, you and I still have very...

FA, I really do respect your faith and trust in the bible, but I don't, so quoting scripture doesn't push your point with me. But, since you have brought it up...can you honestly say that there haven't been times in your life when you've disobeyed the word of God? And if so, do you think those...

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree there...I don't base my view of God on the teachings of man, but by God himself. But we are all God's children, we're all his family. Those of us who go astray can't hope to find the path again unless we have our loving God there to help us. I can't...

Hi, FA, great to see you! How have you been? Your interpretation is correct according to YOU. It is correct according to how YOU percieve the word of God...a bit a of a paradox, really. And I would think that God's relationship with children of disobedience is very strong, since they so...

I must say, I am pro-choice, but I agree...how on earth can such a huge issue be regarded as overblown?

I hear that a lot, but I've never met anyone with that attitude. Someone who has had more than one abortion is not necessarily using the option as birth control. Although I believe there are far too many people who regard the option lightly..."If I get pregnant, I'll just have an abortion." I...

Don't get me wrong, I want the same things you do, but if someone genuinely thinks granting these rights to us is morally wrong, then I can't expect them to help in attaining these rights. All I can do is present a point of view and then leave it to them. I wouldn't like ANYONE to not stand up...

So THAT'S what the gay agenda is! I finally understand! Damn, I must be pretty lazy. I must say , I'm more of your way of thinking: I don't believe in trying convince people to vote OR think my way, because I have no evidence that my way is the right way. I think when it comes to your vote, you...

I think this is starting to sound like an eye for an eye situation. And it seems silly to me, because really, the reason for us not wanting extremists to have children is the same as THEIR reason for not wanting us homosexuals to have children. We don't agree with their ideals and views, and...

I'm glad Australia is different in that sense. Guns in the home are VERY uncommon here, and I'm grateful for that. I know that things are different in the U.S, and HuntingMan, I can see why you'd have a gun to defend your family against intruders...I suppose an intruder would probably have a gun...

I was joking, I do believe in God...and appropriate punctuation. I am also female. Saying you won't vote for gay marriage because it's against God doesn't really clarify your point of view on iminds post. I think the question here is: Would you support legislation that prevents people from...

I know, the same way you're supposed to capitalise Fairies, Goblins, and Invisible Garden Banshees. And I notice that you didn't actually answer the question, by the way.

This confused me for a very long time as well. The thing that bothered me the most was the way that people who claimed to live their lives loving God devotedly represented him as a tyrannical monster. People who were trying to convince me to believe were effectively making me fear and despise...

I like your thinking, imind :) People's right to religious freedom WAS restricted at points in history, really. I suppose we got to the point where we realised that we can't control people's minds, or the direction in which their beliefs lay. In regards to homosexuality...well, unfortunately we...

That's right: GOD'S word...not the word of god as interpretted and possibly filtered by man. Hello, by the way! Nice to see you're still in action.:wave:

I'm sorry, but I don't believe you can actually be blackmailed into believing anything. You don't CHOOSE to be more comfortable with certain ideas. If you told a pro-choicer you would kill their family, do you honestly believe they would subscribe to typical pro-life beliefs? They might say...

Well said. Just like saying that not eating peanuts is the 'Cure' to a peanut allergy. Just because you DON'T involve yourself in the CAUSE, it doesn't mean you're immune to the EFFECT. Not practising homosexual sex has very little to do with your fundamental orientation. To say that would...

If God created everything and has dominion over everything then he created everything by proxy.
