It may have already been said, but: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body," And that's really how I see...

battle creeker here WOO CEREAL CITY

I'm confused, where exactly did you find these things? The internet can be a great tool, but there's also a lot of false information out there. You should ensure that this information is coming for a trusted source. On that note, these wouldn't happen to be from the Gnostic Gospels, would they...

I smoked weed for a solid 3 years 24/7. Ended up flunking out of college and I couldn't even hold a steady job. Finally ended up getting what I think was a laced sack, started giving me panic attacks and generally made me feel terrible. That's when God spoke to me saying something along the...

What exactly does this mean? I'm a bit confused by it.. maybe we need a list of "holy acts" from the New Testament as well.. I think that's a good list of them all though.

James 3:9-12 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig...

Matthew 5:11-12 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Using modern day terms? Blackout drunk. There are plenty of stories in which people will get drunk, wake up the next day to someone they don't remember laying next to them, and regret it the rest of the day.

Well, on that note how do you know for sure that Genesis is meant to be taken literally? I'm not trying to rewrite the Book, as it were, but instead I'm trying to mesh these two seemingly separate entities together, and it seems that in order to do so, I'm going to have to make some creative...

If you want to get really convoluted we could say that we are of God, and therefore our interpretations are from Him. Still, I'm surprised this thread has gotten as many responses as it has. I'm curious though, at what points does it say in the Bible that it's literal or metaphorical? I've...

Maybe we Michiganders will get lucky and get adopted by Canada.

x.x I'm sorry, I was not personally accusing you, and if I came off that way, I'm, again, sorry. I was refferring to what I like to call the "extremists" of our faith. The people that run around telling everyone that they're going to burn and that they HAVE to accept Jesus right this instant...

I think in this world we're all one big herd. Maybe we're not meant to be separated until the end-times. That's just one more reason I don't get why people don't get along. We're all sinners here on earth, we're all just trying to get by day-to-day. Some of us believe, yes, but that doesn't...

I actually have a bit of a story on this related to when I renewed my faith. My mother has been an alcoholic ever since my father divorced her (about 8 years ago) and had been getting into some prescription pain killers as well. If it isn't common knowledge, alcohol + aspirin (especially in...

I feel your pain, my dad is a respiratory therapist, has been since I can remember. He's told me ALLLLL sorts of stories about treating people that smoke. Granted, people smoking gives him job security. Even with all those horror stories I'm still smoking.. I managed to quit for 3 days a...

I very much agree with you. Not to mention, Jesus tells us to live a humble life, God Almighty knows what we need to survive on His earth, but some people think they need tons of money to stay on top of the game. They live lavish lives, horde their money, and have a bad tendency to turn towards...

Proverbs 11:31 "Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner."

Well, that WOULD make it a lot easier, however I'm the only person out of 5 that's deciding to quit. Unfortunately that leaves plenty of cigarettes lying around just waiting to be smoked.

This may be an old thread, but I'll toss it in here anyway. Gave into my cravings twice this morning, then saw that my aunt was starting quitting today. So I decided today's as good a day as any, and the sooner the better. Quitting by faith, chea God.

Very low amounts of carcinogens or not, snus can still lead to the same mouth/jaw/lip/throat cancer that regular tobacco can. Don't fool yourselves into believing that one form of tobacco is safe vs. another. They're all tools for Satan to use against you.
