I will be honest and say a few things. I wish I had finished my education, and built a bit of career for myself. I didn't think that was important (it wasn't stressed for me by my parents, not necessary for *girls*), and when I got older I did the "good Christian woman" thing and stayed home...

Are you thinking bible college wasn't the thing for you? What are you doing occupationally?

The way the pill works is multi-faceted: it prevents ovulation in the first place; then it changes (thickens) the cervical mucous so that the egg and sperm can't get together; and *then* it changes the lining of the uterine wall so that implantation can't take place. By the time the first two...

I think being a good steward of the earth and the things we have been given is good; but I think anything can be "overdone" and taken to extremes... then it becomes rediculous. Of course, it's a free country and people have the right to be rediculous if they would like. You have my permission...

It's a little late in life to be starting something like this out of the blue, no? But I hope "treatment" includes a lock on the daughter's bedroom door.

I couldn't tell til near the end of this thread *why* you needed to muzzle them... I thought at first it was a safety concern (dangerous breed?). Now I see it is because of barking. There are anti-barking collars on the market... some give varying degrees of electric shock (not enough to...

Honor your father and mother. No where does this suggest she has to move in, or near by, or that you have to supply her with money after she has wasted everything she has. Once she has a reasonable budget and sufficient income to meet it, that's that. You could "honor" her, make sure she's...

HA! I didn't say to "get loaded" and make a mockery of your faith! But I see no reason not to socialize, watch a football game, play pool, shoot darts, eat pizza, and/or have a beer in a bar. The Word speaks many times of drinking wine... Paul even advises Timothy to do so, and Jesus turned...

I understand your shock at the "news"; however, your husband told you about the situation *before* your marriage and you could have realized that the possibility existed that this was his child. If he had sex with the woman, then the possibility existed... obviously. He was frank with you, you...

I agree with those who spoke of "total forgiveness". The bible says when God forgives, he throws our sins into the Sea of Forgetfulness... and we are not allowed to go fishing. So put away the poles and nets. I dealt with infertility for eight years. I have argued with Christians in forums...

I once had a school mate whose mother believed alarm clocks were abominations; she believed God would wake them up when He wanted them up, after they had enough rest. As a result, that family's children were chronically late for school; they never did well in class either. So, you can find...

Q: How should a christian act in a bar Oh, he should definitely put on his crabbiest face and sit there like an old stick-in-the-mud... do NOT have any fun, by any means, because everyone knows Christians do not have fun or know how to have a good time or enjoy others' company! That will...

Normally, I tell people we are commanded to honor our parents in the ten commandments; if our parents are "difficult", "honor" doesn't mean we have to involve them to any great extent in our lives. Honor can mean we only check on them now and then and make sure they have what they need to...

(The video was hard to watch as there was so much wiggling.) Not quite sure of the point, unless someone is envious of those who speak in tongues, or on the other hand, boastful of speaking in tongues. I am neither. :sorry:

Sooo... because there's NO ONE my own age, that's "more natural" and better for a relationship... (uhh, no one at my own level, no one I have something in common with, no one of an intellectual challenge who even has a driver's license yet...) I think I'll scrape the bottom of the barrel and do...

I'm wondering why an 18-year-old guy wouldn't want to date an 18-year-old girl? Does he feel "equal" to the 15-year-old?

Oh wow, does that bring back memories... I got married at 18 to a Marine, and moved from Illinois to Virginia. On top of being very young, talk about culture shock! They did not welcome Yankees... they did not welcome service people! The minute I opened my mouth with my Midwestern twang, they...

Mt.19:11 "Jesus replied, 'Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage[c]because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this...

Parables seemed to work for Jesus, so I will post my answer as part of my life's story: I became a Christian in part because of my struggle with infertility. Nothing like facing some of the basics of life and asking, "Why me, God?" and having God answer, "Why not you?" Finally after three...

It bothers me when posters don't put their ages in their profiles (or in the content of their posts!)... it makes a bit of difference if you ran off and got married at 17, or at 25, to those who might offer an opinion. If your mom stays home due to mental issues, perhaps she feels dependent on...
