The image is actually my sig, just the results of a personality quiz I took once, it's not related to my question. And I have looked into 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12, and I'm telling my friends too, but thanks. Really I'm just looking for a good, Biblically based inventory because I like to...

I'm not sure if this is the right section for this, but it seemed right to me. Recently I've been thinking about getting some of my friends to take Spiritual Gift Inventories, so I was wondering if anybody here knew of any good ones, grounded firmly in the Bible and not just "Do you like to...

The love we have as a Christian is such that we should want to spread it and therefore feel it more. As for the stars and galaxies and such being bland, I think you may be mistaken. While Heaven is going to be so awesome nobody can even imagine it, everything around us was created by the same...

Does God forgive you? As long as you are trying to turn to Him, then yes, always. Is it normal to feel that way? Absolutely. Is it wrong to be indifferent about your roommate's reaction? Yep, as was pointed out above, God puts a high importance on settling things. Give yourself some...

Ok, start with this. What do you like to do? And I don't mean video games, tv, or stuff like that. Stuff that you like to do that also helps others. And don't limit yourself to just since you've become a Christian. When God packs that gift, it's from before you were even born.

And don' forget that if our mind is in an unnatural(as in, not ordinary for our body to do by itself) we severely drop our defense towards spiritual invasions.

I understand where you're coming from, though I'm not sure if I've ever felt the same, at least in magnitude. I find listening to Christian music that you can scream your heart out to helps. And there are plenty of options if you want to get into missions. Check out Jeremiah 29:11. If you walk...

Where is the pride focused. Are you proud that God is allowing you to live like this or are you proud that you are able to do this? Isaiah 2:17 illustrates this point well.

Actually, what you are proposing, taking the emotion out of sex, is the exact opposite of what God wants you to do. Sex is supposed to be kept between two married people, it's supposed to be the way for two to become one, and it is a very sacred thing. The Bible tells us it's different...

I will paraphrase my earlier statement. If you are not doing the things that are unholy, and you can still learn the martial art, then go for it.

@Avniel I suppose the question I have is, why did it offend you?

I will study the history of it. And if I find things that would not please God, I'll avoid those practices. And if doing that makes it impossible to learn the art, then I'd have to find a different one. Which is exactly what I told the OP.

Were there ever only black slaves? And I'm pretty sure he was referring to the fact that, as they were slaves, they had to be captured or defeated or whatever. I seriously doubt that he was trying to say that black people can't fight or however you interpreted it to find it offensive...

Blame Egypt. And, you know, the different forms of witchcraft being practiced. But if you had read his post the whole way, you would see why we were associating Capoeira with witchcraft. Not because it's from Africa, but because much of it is wrapped up in witchcraft

those things then don't practice it at all. Sorry for the double post, my PSP can only do so much.

Have you tried Aikido or Tai Chi? Aikido and certain forms of Tai Chi focus on the redirection of violence over direct violence, if that's what you're looking for. Bagua also does this. From your summary of capoeira's history, it is largely an unholy art. However, if you've found a way to...

3 days in a stone tomb. Besides, even though they weren't quite on par with medical experts of today, they probably knew that a person was dead once the blood stopped flowing. And there would have been a lot of blood.

Hmm...I don't think I said it was ok. Actually, I pretty much agree with what you guys are saying, I may have crossed wires and went with my answer for "Does God hate me if I'm gay?" Apparently 12 hours of sleep does not agree with me...
