    Online Dating Sites

    I don't mean to sound harsh but typically if someone (especially a girl) is on a dating site, they are probably desperate for some reason. So you have to ask yourself, "Why?" Of course, it could just be due to the person's limited ability to meet other singles but I think that's the exception...

    I think Im too broken for a relationship:(

    I'm certainly not saying it's a good thing that women wear skimpy clothing but it sure makes it easier for me to tell which ones to avoid.

    I think Im too broken for a relationship:(

    Dang man... sorry to hear that. I know how things like that can make you severely distrust and generalize the opposite sex. But maybe God is just trying to protect us and teach us something from experiences like that. Or maybe it's just the devil trying to bring us down... Either way, we have to...

    I think Im too broken for a relationship:(

    Equally harsh statements can be generalized of women... I don't know the situation but just because a guy thought you were cute and wanted a friend doesn't automatically mean he was only trying to get into your pants. Sure, there are lots of guys like that out there who do so you have to watch...

    Haha... I'm blaming women for everything? Right... that's totally what I've been saying. According to you guys I'm just a Bible thumping, woman-hating man, who endorses abuse and the degradation of women. The Bible tells me to move on when they will not listen and I have to get back to work...

    If they've already remarried and did so out of ignorance, then they are to stay who they are with. They've already made a new covenant with that person so they need to stop breaking covenants. If they have divorced, they should remain single. You might say this is impossible but my uncle is an...

    No, what I mean is that it is our sinful nature that tends to want to twist scripture so that we don't have to fess up about what we've done or change our sinful ways. My point is that we should simply accept what God says and wants for us. Of course, when we sin, we have an advocate, which is...

    I agree. And I wasn't claiming that anybody who has divorced and remarried isn't saved. However, as Christians with the Holy Spirit in us, we should know what is considered sinful and care about what God really wants for us. Maybe you missed my first few posts on this thread about this topic...

    "Divinely" Assigned Roles

    What in the world are you talking about? I am not mocking this boy's economic status. I pity him and it makes me feel ashamed when I complain about "first world problems" in my life. The point of the picture is to show that we are truly more blessed than we realize. If I saw this boy in real...

    As I said before, they already had a paid off home up north, he had a nice Job opportunity up there, and all of their extended family were up there. But she refused so he didn't know what to do. So yeah, maybe he should have just taken the kids and left her down there or something but it sounds...

    It sounds like you're just constantly trying to find fault with God. "The Pharisees also came unto him (Jesus), tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the...

    I already explained that he had a plan that was best for the family but she very selfishly wanted to stay in Florida because she liked the weather more and refused to have the family move so made a plan to get a job herself and start getting with all the guys at work to find a replacement so she...

    Again, sounds like you have a problem with the Bible. Take it up with God. You do what many people who try to find fault with God's Word do, and you take examples to extremes or out of context. I've already sufficiently explained what we are to do from a Biblical perspective when family violence...

    LOL... why do you people keep saying it's my word? I quoted you from the original Greek manuscripts and the KJV verses. Since when is that "just my opinion?" Whatever.... Obviously people are getting offended by this because they want to excuse their sinful lifestyles so they desperately look...

    The Bible does speak about the marriage bed. Example: "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." - Hebrews 13:4 Quote me one verse where the Bible says a married couple should always sleep in separate beds.

    I don't know the details of that story. But she probably should have relied on the church or others for more help instead of taking matters entirely in her own hands. And she was wrong for teaching her children that abuse is normal. It's common sense that it is wrong. But if she hasn't actually...

    My personal beliefs? No, I'm going off of what the Bible says. I have been quoting Bible verses and you have yet to quote even one. So who is really going off personal beliefs here? Again, you are diverting things by claiming we should go back to all the old ways. There is a difference between...
