Like many problems, one part of a solution is not a whole. Our corrections system is seriously flawed. Dramatically, immorally, racially, flawed. . . . it is silly and ineffectual in many ways and horrifically unjust in others. That said, I don't believe that parole (as a concept) should be...

This. If they aren't "safe" enough to be allowed firearms, they shouldn't be granted time outside of confinement. If they are safe enough, then rights should be restored. It should be one of the prime litmus tests parole boards use "would you allow/ feel comfortable with prisoner x585457...

Apart from the grace of Christ, you are completely and totally doomed, just like everyone else. There is no magic word, no phrase, no action you can take, only belief in salvation through Jesus the Son of God will save you. Relax or don't relax . . . it doesn't matter, only belief and trust in...

What is her motive? Does she want you out of the house? If so, it might not be a bad idea to go, man or no man. Why is that? What is it that keys men in to your sexuality rather than other aspects of yourself? Online dating isn't for everyone. Disaster can come pretty quick from online...

I said the following recently in another thread: So, what can you cheerfully give? Do that and be blessed in it. Also consider, time is money. Volunteer time = tithed money.

Sorry you are going through that. Will pray. Consider making a post in the Christian Advice section?

Advice: Change to a different therapist. If you are feeling that way, chances are, the therapeutic relationship is impaired. It can go sideways in a lot of different directions and all of them are incredibly destructive.

Does the Bible say it is not okay? Does it involve something unseemly?

What does Matthew 18:15-17 say you should do? Here it is in the ESV: Feel free to use any translation you like, but the Bible, in the words of Jesus, tells you exactly how to deal with this.

I thought about drunk posting condemnation once. . . . But then I took an arrow to the knee. . . Wait, was that drunk posting or just plain ole self righteous condemnation?

Relax. There are worse things than infantry, like wearing a Navy uniform ;). Don't sweat it. Depending on your goals serving a first hitch in infantry may be the good building block for other options. What was it you were wanting to switch over to?

I am pro-legal abortion & a Christian. I understood his meaning & was looking for a way to invite PM debate. Thank you Inkachu for your continued even tempered-ness & level-headed-ness. You are one of the very best people on these forums.

Dude! That is so cruel. I didn't think about it until you said something but now I am jonesing to post up a "look, even I think religious folk can get it 180 degrees off, sometimes" type post. I mean, I resisted my urge to facepalm at the OP, but then Jesus. . . .. And yeah man...

Christians who actually want to fulfill their Great Commission obligations (Jesus gave Christians a direct order) are well served by tools that allow them to reach unsaved people for Christ. People who didn't get along in High School can extend forgiveness and model Christian lifestyle on...

Thank you. No, I went down into my friend's basement and his father's best friend's daughter was seated at a table with a number of other people. Our eyes met & that was it. I don't know that either of us entertained the question or used words, but were simply together, instantly. I had...

In the "matchmaking" thread I wrote: I quote it whole, because I think it can be farmed for good points for your friend. Man, I can say without a doubt, settling is harmful & patience would have been the better road. The point in life isn't necessarily to "be with" someone. Sometimes we...

Well, I am happily married, but my wife and I have a friend in similar circumstances. Our friend is in the second half of her 20's and has a good education and a decent career. We are always looking for a good guy for her & her other friends too. She just broke up with a guy other friends set...

It is a way to mark threads you want to be notified of when they update. Though you can subscribe to a thread without saying it, saying it implies "I don't know but I'd be interested in other folks answers". Like a thumbs up on the thread. That said, I'd be reluctant to go looking for groups...

This Above + I acknowledge what the consequences would be if I lost control. There are people I care about who I couldn't take care of if I got killed or imprisoned. Those people are always more important than anything I could get mad about. So in terms of calming myself, first I think of the...

Hey jasmine, sorry you are going through a rough time. Being perfected in Christ is a process and a relationship. You don't have to be perfect for Jesus to love you. Getting sleepy, will type more tomorrow
