    What to say to a non-believer

    typos are excused. :-P First of all, the apostles did not preach 6 days to the Jewish people, since there was no need to... they already believed the account of creation. To the Romans, Paul actually DID talk about the first man, and the beginning of the world (writing in five minutes before...

    What to say to a non-believer

    :prayer::prayer: Well that would be all well and good if you could box up all the "complicated" questions into a "find out when you are older" box and then go on your merry way. But the fact is what one believes about the origins of life, the existence or non-existence of the supernatural...

    What to say to a non-believer

    I typed the books as they entered my head, they are not in any particular order!

    Slavery

    Hello General. Ironically, this is one of the questions I had to answer when it was posed to me a few months ago by a philosophy graduate. I liken slavery to polygamy and divorce. Not the original design, but tolerated because we live in a fallen world. If you go to the first five books...

    Christians and "civil unions"

    Reading through the thread I have agreed with some things and not with others. I live in New Zealand, a country that has already allowed civil unions. Now, absolutely I agree that homosexuality is wrong. I do not call it good. But it seems to me that one can still call something wrong and yet...

    Dating a new believer (my story included...I'm new)

    Thank you. I agree with the taking it slow... I still want my parents (toxic as they may be at times) to feel as comfortable as possible with him. It's only respectful imho.

    Dating a new believer (my story included...I'm new)

    Hello Just like to say I have spent a good part of my morning reading through many posts in the life stages area... I really appreciate some of the godly advice that has been given to people in different situations, so I was hoping for some in mine. I'll start from the beginning. I first...
