    Sad & disappointed - getting rid of dogs after babies arrive

    I know what you mean. When you have a dog it needs to be a lifelong commitment. We don’t have kids or dogs. I love dogs but realize if I had one it would be a big responsibility and don’t want to have my heart broken when they eventually get sick and die. I had dogs when I was younger. One we...

    Hello, I am new here!

    Welcome. You won’t find much arguing here at least not in this sub forum. If you argue with anyone around here its because they think you can’t be Christian and not want kids. My wife and I have been married 27 years and we never wanted kids. I believe your dogs will be in heaven but you will...

    college education

    I absolutely agree! I never went to collage and work as an engineer alongside engineers that have a degree. I make more money then some of them and even supervise them. This took me 20 years of work and proving myself and of course faith. Unfortunately What’s happening today also is that big...

    Considering

    Thanks for Posting Nathanomir We have been married 26 years and never even had any desire for children. Funny thing we are both only children too. In general men are not much for kids but I can relate to what Audiomechanic was saying because my wife also had abuse issues as a child and I think...

    Dating a Non-Christian. Is this what God wants!?

    I didn’t say I would chose hell over God I am following God no matter what some think. I don’t believe I’m going to hell but some people do and believe my wife is, my point being That Christianity should not be about following a set of rules to avoid hell. We should follow Jesus who loved...

    Dating a Non-Christian. Is this what God wants!?

    Bravo Brianlear, wish I said that! All of this is also connected to other issues such as do we pick Christianity or does God pick us? I think God picks us and once he is in your life nothing can take that away. After all if it were my choice I wouldn’t be Christian look at all the flack I get...

    Dating a Non-Christian. Is this what God wants!?

    The Bible is not clear on the subject. People who think it is take every single thing literally so there is no use arguing. If I was around in Paul’s time and asked for advise about marrying the first thing he would tell me is not to get married because the second coming is eminent. Well he was...

    Dating a Non-Christian. Is this what God wants!?

    You hit the nail on the head. Not trying to judge anyone but some Christians remind me of the Pharisees. Look at the story of the good Samaritian. The moral being the Samaritian was the one right with God and not the Pharises who followed their interpretation of the word of God. Thanks for...

    Dating a Non-Christian. Is this what God wants!?

    This is an advise section. I have debated this issue since before most of you were even born. Heard it all. I am giving my testimony to the OP. She can take my advise or leave it. There are thousands of Christians who feel like me but are afraid to post because of all the hatred we get for...

    Dating a Non-Christian. Is this what God wants!?

    Yes Techno debating is Futile. I try not to get involved but since I am married to a Jew this is a hot button issue for me. I consider the unequally yoked thing Paul’s advise for a church at the very beginning when Christians were few. I don’t believe it’s a commandment in fact I know it’s not...

    Dating a Non-Christian. Is this what God wants!?

    Since the predictable debate has hopefully ended. I can give my advise to the OP. There is no doubt In my mind God has put me and my wife together. We have been married 26 happy years she is not Christian and I doubt ever will be. I can’t answer if God wants you to have a future with this guy...

    wow and hi!

    My point being God loves him more then her. Like the prodigal son. Actually I think God loves people including atheists and people of other religions to the same degree as Christians. It’s criticizing and judging that makes people anti religious. I never meant her husband didn’t love her. In...

    wow and hi!

    I never liked the term. I wish they would call it something else. I think it’s misinterpreted and doesn’t apply to our times. They say when two oxen are together many years they act like 2 animals with one brain. Being married over 25 years I can say there is some truth to that. :)

    wow and hi!

    Welcome, I am married 26 years. You’ll find a lot of people here that are anti religion even though we are Christian. Probably one reason we are here. All that matters is that you love each other. I know God put my wife and I together. I also never expect her to become Christian. She is Jewish...

    Post pictures of your "babies!"

    Here's my Bird feeder. It used to hand on a hook but the squirrles were able to jump on it. Now I raised it and attached it to a 3 inch pipe so they can't climb. So far so good. You can't see it in the photo but that plastic piece on the bottom is eaten away from the squirrels when the feeder...

    Apparently my husband and I don't love each other.

    That reminds me of the many divorved people I know that tell me the only reason we have a long marraige is that we have no kids. :)

    Apparently my husband and I don't love each other.

    Yes I believe it and thanks for reminding me why I don’t go to church. Read the Bible and have a relationship with Jesus instead of church people that only accept you under their conditions. I really feel your pain and disappointment. Hope you find a better church. I’m sure there are some that...

    New here and newly "unequally yoked"

    I couldn't agree more with the above. I have been married to a jewish woman for 26 years. There was never a doubt in my mind that we were not meant to be together. Living with her for 26 years I don't think she will ever be a believer but I know God cares about both of us and I am more sure...
