That's a fair reply. I won't put words in God's mouth, but I suspect the answer might be that He is God, His ways are higher than our ways. He also might not even answer the question. God did not answer Job when he asked "Why?" God just told basically told Job that He is God and Job is not...

I already told you before. Now it's your turn. buchalady, makes a good point here. TheMightyTurtle, we should be capable of figuring out these things ourselves. However, if you really wish to continue in your justification of stopping the beating hearts of the unborn then that's your...

Hi Matt, Thanks for the links! I wonder what the signs were that gave me away as a computer "geek" (unless you read my profile) :D

Since it's not enough to know that God has explicitly mentioned unborn children, then it might be best to put this another way. Let's imagine, if Jesus was standing in front of you, in the flesh, and asked you if killing an unborn child is wrong, would you tell Him that there is no problem with...

Great post!

You are correct that "sin is sin", except there is the unpardonable sin, but that's another subject. I understand your point. We definitely are not supposed to judge in the respect that we are supposed to have ourselves in order first. However, we are to correct Christians that are sinning and...

If you wish to find "loopholes" in the Bible to justify your lifestyle, then that's between you and God. Remember that God told Jeremiah that He knew him when he was still in the womb, and John the Baptist even reacted upon encountering Mary and having "heard" that she was pregnant with Jesus...

"Playing God" and deciding for someone whether or not they should live before they had a chance to voice their own opinion is quite presumptuous. I would not want this on my conscious.

Does anyone know a good place/person that sells Siberian cats that don't cost an "arm and a leg"? I'm allergic to cats, but I love them, and that's the type my wife and I should be able to own.

I wish I had really good advice for you, but all I can give is that it is best to stay away from him. He has used you and will continue to do so. Please keep reading your Bible, going to church, and get together with other Christians that can help you get through this time. There are things that...

I thought about the American Revolution as well, and it looks like it was sinful for that to be done. I wonder if any of the founding fathers ever thought about it this way.

I can't take issue, and haven't, with view #3, because as you stated, I can't back it up with Scripture. I totally agree with that. That's one I believe the individual person has to determine for themselves.

Maybe I did not give the best explanation. Just thinking about sex with the fiance would be things like: as in preparing for the first time together, whether or not they will use birth control, anticipating how he/she should approach their future spouse, etc... Lustful thinking would be like...

I don't like them at all. They are misdirecting their message by antagonizing the families of fallen heroes. They need to get their act straight and take their message to the government. I don't like their tactics, and their hateful language. Homosexuality is definitely not approved by God...

There are plenty of people trying to look for loopholes in the Bible to justify their actions. As others have stated, the answer is "No" to someone having sex with their girlfriend before marriage. There are so many references in the Bible about fornication that it is hard to miss. Also, just...

I hope you are being sarcastic. However, the Law was not yet given at this time.

In my opinion, we should defend ourselves. God always comes first, then family, and then country/work/etc... Now if you were planning a pre-emptive strike, then you really would need to prayerful think about it and discuss it with other Christians. There could be some lines crossed based on...

I guess to go back to "Tithing"... in a word "Yes". Not tithing is robbing God. God gave us the resources, and the ability to give back to Him. However, tithing is just considered being obedient. It's not commendable as if someone was to give more than just their 10%.

Just because something is not possible does not make it right. That's why we need Jesus because of our sinful nature because the Law is impossible for us to keep. Thinking about sex with the fiance is very different than fantasizing and lusting after the fiance. It's all a matter of intent. I...
