So, I get shunned from a family member because I don't support gay marriage. I mean, wow. You'd of thought I was running a death camp. But I guess Christians have faced far worse persecution for saying their beliefs. Still, I'll avoid lions at the zoo for the time being. **edit: additional**...

Curious on what your take is on the nature of God. If God is without sin, is this a conscious choice he makes, or does his very nature define his parameters of what he can and can't do? For example, if God makes a promise to man (like he did with Noah), is he incapable of breaking that...

Mind is slipping in my old age, but regarding Mary; when the angel told her She would give birth to the messiah, was she already pregnant? or did she get pregnant after she accepted?

Ok, so, say a member of your immediate family committed a crime. And lets say that the victim was a member of the family. And this crime isn't a misdomeanor, but a felony. I'm not talking murder or rape, but let's call it fraud/identity theft. As a Christian and family member, do you...

Are you in favor of harsher punishments and zero tolerance? or, Do you favor building the self-esteem and self defense of the bullied?

So, would like to get your take on the issue of forgiveness. I've heard it said to "forgive, but not forget." Meaning, to forgive a sin or transgression against you, but to also learn from the experience. For example; Say a guest in your home steals something. As a Christian we are to forgive...

when watching current events unfold and their place in biblical prophecy regarding the end times (abortion, gay marriage, secularism, etc etc), how are Christians to deal with it? Just curious what your opinions on the matter are. Red Light: Fight the good fight, stand up against it. As...

A video of Iowa democrats saying a public prayer for abortion, giving thanks and praise to God for abortions, the doctors who perform, and to bless the women for their courage and Godly right in making that choice. Iowa Democrats Pray for Abortion Rights - YouTube How long will we remain...

Had a series of conversations with an athiest really who ended up admitting that a God "is possible" and a new found respect for Christianity. Just thought I'd share some highlights. Naturally he attacked our belief in a make-believe deity, and pointed out our history with the inquisition...

In America, why is there a need for black leaders? While racism will never fully disappear, only a fool would not see that blacks are as integrated into American culture than ever before. Athletes, actors, artists, engineers, politicians, judges, teachers, soldiers, business owners, and...

Can anyone explain the logic behind this? I am not referring to kidnapping, pimping, sex slaves, human trafficking, underage girls and runaways. Those are separate issues that certainly need to be addressed. But when a consenting adult woman and a consenting adult man choose to engage in sex...

Not sure why I'm writing this. Maybe I need advice, encouragement, or just to vent since the people I'd like to vent at, I can't. Did you ever watch one of those nature shows where the cameraman is filming a bunny, unaware that a wolf is sneaking up on it? You wish the cameraman would spook...

So it felt like I had one of those v8 moments. You know, when something dawns on you and you can't help but slap your forehead. Well, it happened one day last year when writing about my values and beliefs. It seems it boils down to this: It is the difference between choosing to live for...

among the more liberal of my friends regarding abortion, they tend to echo the wide spread arguement that abortion should remain legal, citing "it's wrong to impose your morals onto others." But wait a minute, aren't most laws based on morality? Laws against theft, rape, murder, purgery...

If a gay man marries a gay woman, well...isn't that a gay marriage? I mean, a marriage application doesn't ask for sexual orientation, only gender. So technically, there is no discrimination against homosexuals getting married. If anything, if you're gonna be denied marriage to a same sex...

Ok, so here's my problem. I've never been happy or fullfilled going to church because I always feel out of sync with whats going on around me, and what their teaching. I always feel conflicted. Now, I am a man of faith, and wish to be more serving to my God, but in church settings, inevitably I...

Ok, so many believe in burial as when we get resurreted, we get newer (perfect) bodies. I get onflited cause I thought we go to Heaven. Others say heaven will be here on Earth. If that's the case, what is meant by "perfect bodies"? Would we all look the same? Does it mean no diseases and...

I fully support HL rights to determine if they want their company to offer contraceptive devices or not. Yet, there is opposition saying the government has the right to force them to offer it, infringing on the companies rights and practices. To me, couldn't a simple solution be for HL to...

From what I am hearing, small business owners are fearfull of Obamacare because businesses that have 50 employees or more MUST offer benefits to employees. They bring up businesses like franchise owners of Papa John's pizza or Olive Garden as examples, but here's what I don't get... As it...
