Death is not what God wants. Life is. Jesus wept over death. To kill on purpose is to murder. Yes, it is murder. Peace to all who seek it,

The Bible actually encourages those who are suffering to drink in order to forget their troubles. Proverbs 31:6-7. On the other hand, the same book condemns drunkeness. Yet, as has been pointed out, the Bible neglects to define drunkeness in 20th century terms. But it does admonish us that...

There is hardly a stronger witness than a man or woman who can have one drink and stop there while carrying on a conversation about Christ and His power over sin and death, demonstrating both the freedom and obedience inherint to the Gospel. This is especially important for young people to see...

We can make no decision but for evil. (Rom 3). Even paschal's theory relies on God making Himself evident and giving us the faith to state the Truth, or on acting like we believe in God just because its what's best for us in the long run.  But that, by his own theories logic, is not really...

Day ageis simply not Biblical.  The reason for this is that accoriding to the Bible (which is right) plants were created before the sun.  That's a lot of millions of years without photosynthesis. God's Word is a shield to those who seek refuge. Peace

Contrary to the opinions of many Christians, the Bible has a lot to say about this issue. 1 Corinthinans 11 is one chapter that no one wants to accept. 1 Peter 3 is another interesting one. What it all comes down to is what LL said earlier though: modesty and an attitude of conformation to...

Gabriel had an excellent post, although, not all newlyweds have lots of sex, especially if the woman has been chaste. It's just not that easy. All the same, the issue of "perversion" in the church irks me as well. Modesty is a scriptural mandate which seems to have lost its existence, most...

Question: Are a bunch of junior high kids from a parochial school slow dancing in a dark room just expressing a way of praising God? Not that I agree with the quote that started this all, but is it possible that it was expressing a dissent against this kind of "dance" as opposed to the kind...

  I agree with you.  The only problem is that none of us can do that.  "We all stumble in many ways.  If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check."  (James 3:2) We must strive to do our best, but do so with...

I think it's sad that we would rather stick to our opinions than to the Word of God in many cases.  All of our arguments come from this.  But Paul did prophesy that this would take place: No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's...

Christians who believe they cannot shipwreck their faith (1 Tim 1:19) can fall victim to lustful ease and lackadaisical acceptance of life as it is without a motivation for change, unless they are trying to please God through good works (which they cannot do either) and so fall into the same...

I have often heard it said by some Christian groups that God forbids alchohol in the Bible.  One of the problems they have is the fact that Jesus turned water into wine.  They often attempt to get out of this by saying that Jesus only turned water into "good wine" or "new wine" which...

Zen teaches that one achieves peace through their own actions. It is the precise opposite of the gospel of Jesus Christ which proclaims that no man can achieve True peace, but that it is a gift of God which comes only with His Salvation. Zen is at its deepest root a lie which uses many half...

It says seven days. I think that means that it happened in seven days. Those who would like to pretend that the seven days were really much longer periods of time have checked both their faith and minds at the door. I say this not to judge, but to encourage all to reread Gen 1 and pay...

I forgive you.  :)  Praise be to God. However, I disagree completely with your point. It neglects the gospel and focuses on works righteousness. It is based on doubt in God's power, and rooted in faith in man's mind. This is not to say that counseling is wrong or that a Christian...

Anyone who says they never doubt the presence of God is a liar and a hypocrite. We are all sinners here. Feelings are fickle and come from our sinful flesh. Trusting them in any matter is foolish and tantamount to "leaning on one's own understanding." God speaks in different ways to...

??? If we claim to be without sin we deceive ourselves and the Truth is not in us, but if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. I can do nothing for my sin, which is made evident daily.  In eating and...

Wblastyn, One ought to be careful when they make generalized statments. Do you know me or my past? Were you standing beside me when I looked over the ledge of my window and thought about jumping, when I wanted to slit my wrists, or when I tried to drink myself unconcious? No? Christ was...

Sin kills you, no matter how you commit it. How many lives and families have been destoryed by TV? Cars? Governments? or even Fathers and Mothers who weren't drunks? Many. Romans 14 addresses this issue fully and anyone who cannot accept it teaches falsely. Check it out for yourself...

  Not that I disagree with your premise, but we must consider: a: If you take Christ at His Word, there is a sin which will not be forgiven. (Mt 12:31) b: Sin is a mental illness, regardless of how it destroys a person. c: Again, if you take Christ at His Word, mankind...
