    Many Do Not Miss Jesus

    While I agree that Christians should look forward to heaven and being with Jesus, I can also understand the young woman's point of view. After all, God puts a desire in our hearts to live the life He has given us here on earth, as well as to live with Him eternally in heaven. We can look...

    Hurting at the hands of "church"

    I would sit down with my dad and have a good talk with him. I would make sure that he knows that I love him and that if I decide to leave that particular church that it does not mean that he's a failure and that it does not mean that I'm giving up on Jesus or Christianity or anything like that...

    Pet up for Adoption

    Hi. I've put my pet up for permanent adoption as I have had some things happen in real life recently that are taking up my time. Chips is a 787 day old cat. If you adopt him, please take good care of him. http://www.christianforums.com/cfpets.php?do=viewpet&id=288

    There are no accidents????

    Bad things happen because we live in an imperfect world. People make mistakes, make poor choices, sin, etc. People even hurt others or themelves - either on purpose or without meaning to. What we can keep in mind is that God can help us and heal us even in the worst situations. He is there...

    Black student support group at my college....please read

    Well, do the black students themselves want this group or do they find it offensive? Do they themselves feel that there is a need for it or is it being pushed on them by others?

    Deja Vu?

    Deja vu is simply having a feeling that you've done this before. For example, you may go on a trip and when you get there, have the feeling that you've been there before, even though you really haven't. Or you may have a conversation with someone and have the feeling that you've already had...

    What does the bible say about Cheating?

    Deuteronomy 25:15-16 You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. For the LORD your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly. Leviticus 19:11 Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not...

    Have you considered whether it's time to move out get a place of your own (perhaps with a roommate)? Often, young adults get along better with their parents once they no longer live together.

    How does one know?

    I think back to where I was in my faith a few months or a year ago (or sometimes even longer than that). Then I consider whether I'm in the same place or if I've moved ahead or gone backwards. Another way to find out is to talk with a close, mature Christian friend who will be honest with you...

    Do any local churches have youth groups that you could join?

    Which is better?

    I disagree with that - elementary school was much better than high school. Even kindergarten students seemed more mature than a lot of the high school students I knew. There's something about high school that brings out the worst in a lot of people.

    Which is better?

    University was a better experience than high school by far. Most people in university are somewhat more mature than those in high school. Therefore, there's less of the high school drama, bullying, etc. to deal with.

    Need help - bible verse

    What I get out of it is to put people before money. People (and therefore friendships) can last forever, but money doesn't.

    Reincarnation

    Reincarnation is not a Christian belief. The Bible tells us that when people die, they either go to Heaven to be with Jesus or they go to Hell and separation from God.

    I've never heard of such a verse.

    Was I ashamed of God???

    Well, I could just ignore the guy completely or wander off in the direction of security... I'm really not comfortable with total strangers coming up to me in the store. As far as I'm concerned, telling the guy that he's welcome to pray for me, but not actually having him pray for me right...

    Christian versus secular

    I go to a secular school, which I chose because it offers the degree that I wanted to take. It doesn't really affect my walk with God one way or the other.
