    If I Decide Not to Have Children, Am I Saving Them From The Possibility of Going to Hell?

    do you also find this to be 'cultish'? (Rom 9:19) Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? (Rom 9:20) Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

    If I Decide Not to Have Children, Am I Saving Them From The Possibility of Going to Hell?

    surrender isn't something you reconsider; that's testing - as long as you're still deciding if you want to leave your faith, you are testing God, not surrendered to Him.

    (Rom 9:19) Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? (Rom 9:20) Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? you've got it backwards; you want God to justify...

    Please pray

    Father God, 'only a sojourner' may have made some mistakes, but i know that none of this has caught You by surprise. You didn't bring him this far in life to drop him now, so i join my faith with his and agree that he will hear from You at the right time and do what you direct about anything...

    I feel like I'm losing my mind.

    thank God, He doesn't judge us by our performance, but by the intent of our hearts. it doesn't sound like you intended to mislead anyone in the interview; and you seem to have repented even if you did - trust God to have mercy and show grace to you. in these times of widespread unemployment...

    If I Decide Not to Have Children, Am I Saving Them From The Possibility of Going to Hell?

    i don't know what you've been going through, but if you're still deciding if you want to 'leave your faith' (i assume you mean to stop believing in Jesus as your savior), my advice is to focus on that decision, and put this question (about having/aborting children so they don't have to suffer...

    a 1911 style 380 from Rock Island Armory

    the recoil can be a problem (that's why i was excited to see your post about a 1911 style .380), but then i don't expect to have to shoot more than twice; and the snake shot recoil isn't nearly as bad as the bullets :) thanks be to God, i've never had to shoot at anything with it, and hope i...

    a 1911 style 380 from Rock Island Armory

    yes, 22 is a great caliber for accuracy. i carry a 45 when i'm on my property because i've seen wild dog packs there; the boom of a 45 is a great deterrent; and if i have to shoot one, their suffering will likely be short. my first round in the 45 is snake shot in case i meet a two legged...

    a 1911 style 380 from Rock Island Armory

    he's better than me too. i had a colt .380 years ago, but it was too small; had a ruger .380 that was just right, but gave it to my brother because it was so hard to clean (he just keeps it for protection); both were as easy to shoot as a .22

    I feel like I'm losing my mind.

    ops! i corrected a typo in what i first posted...make that 2 typos... if we all (everyone except Jesus) got what we deserved, we'd all live short, miserable, poor, sick lives in the flesh and then go to the lake of fire after judgement - but the good news is, that because Jesus sacrificed...

    "Permitting" Unbelievers to Sin. A Sin?

    this doesn't in any way sound ridiculous to me - sounds to me that you take God's Word and ways seriously, and that has brought you to this delima simply providing a phone number doesn't mean you are permitting and supporting someone to sin; the friend who asked for his number is responsible to...

    Do Christians Consider it a Lack of Faith to Put Trust into Doctors?

    LightLoveHope brings up a good point. I'm not in the medical industry, but have seen a number of documentaries on how the medical industry has evolved over the past few years in the US. documentaries can be inaccurate, so take this with a grain of salt - the US medical industry is governed by...

    Do Christians Consider it a Lack of Faith to Put Trust into Doctors?

    Thanks, Jaedan debates also happen in other threads in the advice forum where people are desperate for help; i guess the rules make more sense in that kind of request for advice

    Do Christians Consider it a Lack of Faith to Put Trust into Doctors?

    i believe the idea of the no-debate rule is that advice be given to the one who asked for it, in order that that all communication in the thread be focused on the request for advice; when advisors debate or even discuss between themselves in the thread rather than addressing the person who...

    Do Christians Consider it a Lack of Faith to Put Trust into Doctors?

    yes, i am aware of that here's something from the "Requests for Christian Advice Statement of Purpose": "...Posts that debate rather than advise will also be deleted and the member may be banned from the thread" this obviously isn't strictly enforced, but i adhere to this rule out of respect...

    Do Christians Consider it a Lack of Faith to Put Trust into Doctors?

    i never said that; i'm not sure why you would jump to that conclusion. one scripture does not establish a doctrine, but what Jesus did shouldn't be ignored either. the rules of the Advice forum preclude debate among advisors - feel free to PM me if you want to discuss this further with me
