That depends, some people may not actually be hearing from the Holy Spirit, others may be stubborn. Some may have a different view because is showing them something different in His word that He didn't necessarily show someone else. He is infinite after all, to believe that a mere 3000 pages...

Just a thought, but when has the written word not been corrupted in its presentation in the past? Many have taken the Bible and warped it to suit their own agendas, no different than word of mouth. I do agree with you though, that God is wiser than any of us, and that He took a great deal of...

Let me just add to this. God still passes knowledge like in the days of old, through the Holy Spirit. The written word in the Bible cannot be understood and believe unless the Spirit of God reveals to us it's truth and meaning. Otherwise, it's just words on paper.

Yes, I have heard God speak to me. Once in audible words, and I've heard the testimony of many others having the same experiences. I've also heard God speak in many other forms, sometimes a feeling in the heart, sometimes dreams, sometimes through others, sometimes while reading my Bible and...

Sorry, I'd misunderstood what you said by the way it was written. I agree with the above though, given to us by God, but not God Himself. I just find it hard to watch so many Christians get hung up on some of the things in the Bible as their sole source for believing God. Yes it's wonderful...

I think it's a question of the state of the heart. Did you use God's money to the glory of God or did you use it for personal enjoyment? There's nothing wrong with having fun, and there's nothing wrong with enjoying things, but there is something wrong with putting those things we enjoy before...

Though God will convict you of issues, and possibly remove certain blessings from you when you do bad things, there are also times He won't do anything punish you directly just so you can see the consequences of your actions and learn from them. One thing though, for your parents having a...

I don't agree with this. Yes, the Bible is an amazing tool to get to know what God has done, however, without the Bible, there would still be God. Look at Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. None of them had ANY written word, but still they knew God. Same with Noah, Moses, and many others. The...

This sounds so familiar to many things I've seen and experienced within our marriage. We've had many difficulties as well, and I've had my own share of anger issues. My wife as well was made to feel anxious and stressed about the state of our affairs, which didn't help. The more she stressed...

Jumping in a little late here, but there were some things I wanted to add :) This part of the post does bring up an interesting issue. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 states "Abstain from all appearances of evil". Regardless of whether they were committing sexual sin or not, it still gave the...

Wow, I must say this is quite a difficult situation, and I can only imagine what you're going through right now. I'll be praying with you. With that said, I don't believe you should "confront" him. From your description, there is a good chance that he'll hold strong to the "authority" for which...

Hi Endless, I've been in your place before, and I used to have such a hard time telling people I was a Christian because many of the people around me had a preconceived notion that all Christians were bad, either being too extreme, or too "messed up". What helped me the most was realizing that...

Andy, I must say that I do love that some of these points are being brought up. I as well have been victim of some of these abusive opinions about lifestyles and so called "moral issues" that in reality did not exist but only perceived. My mother removed us from all churches due to these...

Heck Ya!! Without a doubt!! She's amazing as a woman, wonderful to be around and awesome with me and the kids, no better woman for me!! :D

Hello everyone, So we're having issues with our 7.5mths old daughter as far as sleep goes. I know not to expect her to sleep through the night, but would be nice to get more than 1.5-4 hrs of sleep in a night. Right now, she'll go to bed around 8:30, wakes up by 11, then sometimes will wake up...

AL, mind if I ask something? You say your wife is not affectionate, do you mean just in the aspect of physical touch or everything? Like, does she try to do nice things, talk, spend time together and stuff like that, or is she totally disconnected? (Has been like that the whole 15yrs?)

Umm .. I said it was awesome that God used those faithful wives and brought those husbands to repentance ... I never said that salvation was in question if you divorce .. DON'T put words in my mouth! It's annoying ... Your salvation never relies on what you do, or don't do, it relies solely on...

Ok, so you think that 32yrs of life lost is too big a loss, I can understand how common sense would say taht .. but let me ask you, when David was chased in the deserts for 40yrs of his life, attacked repeatedly, then became King at the end of it all .. do you think God wasted David's life, or...

I know of a couple, in which the husband was abusive, and had an affair with another man. The wife stayed in the marriage and prayed. That man repented after MANY years (not sure exactly, but was over 10yrs) and their marriages lasted till death. I know of another marriage, the man was addicted...

I totally agree with you one this one, yes, that's right .. I agree .. strange? lol A wife and a husband have needs and expectations from marriage, God addressed these as well, but we aren't to be dependent on our spouses for those needs, but on God. People fail, all the time, they choose...
