    The American Mission

    Can somebody answer me how the post is apparently meant to be one big guilt trip? I read it and think, "Man, I don't even have to go overseas and I can still be a crucial element of what God is doing over there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" But really, why feel guilty? If you are already giving...

    Will Heaven be Awesome?

    Matthew 25:41 says, "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." God created hell for the devil and his angels. Sin entered in, that means that people started choosing Satan's way instead of God's way...

    Will Heaven be Awesome?

    Luke 23:43, 2 Corinthians 12:4, and Revelation 2:7 all refer to heaven as a place of paradise. So yes, the Christian worldview is that heaven will be a paradise. We can't even really imagine what all will be there or what we'll be doing the whole time but I do know that we will be with God and...

    Did Jesus have the Free Will (freedom of choice)?

    I posted just a portion of this article I found at http://www.gotquestions.org/did-God-create-evil.html Question: "Did God create evil?" Answer: At first it might seem that if God created all things then evil must have been created by God. However, there is an assumption here that needs to...

    derail from Advice needed debating a divorced woman

    Huntingman, Exodus 21:7-11 says this, "If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as menservants do. If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with...

    When do two become one flesh?

    I had to laugh when I saw this, I've never heard it before either. I believe the two becoming one is about something spiritual that happens between the man and woman and is also why it is so important to save sex for marriage in and of itself.

    Rules for remarriage?

    Matthew 19:9 "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." I believe that when the Bible talks about divorce it is not talking about signing a divorce document. A divorce in God's eyes is when one of the marriage...

    Christians, i have a question...

    From the sound of it while she may call herself a Christian it doesn't mean that she is truly a Christ follower. That's the problem, people think that just because they said a prayer once that they are a Christian. If you're a Christian then as 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if anyone is...

    The Bible, Divorce, Remarriage: From the marriage ministry forum

    I looked up the definition from Strong's Greek Concordance for apoluo and turns out it is not just to "put away" but "to divorce." http://www.htmlbible.com/sacrednamebiblecom/kjvstrongs/STRGRK6.htm#S630

    Sex outside marriage but in a committed relationship - completely wrong?

    Speaking from experience, the only way to combat the temptation will be to have many many people keeping you accountable and as hard as it is, never ever ever being alone, in the car, apartment, at the park, WHEREVER! I know it is very very very hard. I also know that when I was dating my...

    How do you know whether to break up or not?

    Agreed. Relationships are hard but if you choose to be in one then you have to know that there will be difficult situations ahead. It sounds like you're developing a pattern where you have a committed relationship, become unhappy then think that the only answer is to find someone better. What...

    Girls And Weight: Part Duex

    Alright, I'll say it again, being over weight is not healthy. What if the OP is preventing her from getting type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, cardio and respiratory illnesses, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, high cholesterol, stroke, gall bladder disease, and sleep apnea? Who really...

    The Bible, Divorce, Remarriage: From the marriage ministry forum

    So I've been learning a lot from looking at these two sources I quoted above and I wanted to share it here because it is different from my past posts. Matthew 19:9 (New International Version) "9I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries...

    The Bible, Divorce, Remarriage: From the marriage ministry forum

    I don't know if any of you know much about Focus on the Family but I consider it a reputable source. I looked up what they had to say and this is what I found: The issue of remarriage after divorce arouses even more controversy, and not all theologians agree. Focus on the Family holds that...

    The useless (?) tree of life (moved)

    1.) Good point, here's what I think...When God said that eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil would result in death he was talking about spiritual death, i.e. hell. But then sin entered into the world by A&E's disobedience and Satan became the "ruler of the power of the air" Eph...
