Think of God's orders and Amalek's role as the flesh as barring ahead of time any compromise or fudging on our part. Only the Spirit profits. Only His fruits are acceptable. Anything of the flesh, no matter how reasonable, well-intentioned, committee-approved or good-seeming is acceptbable to...

I struggle with mental illness every day. Life is hard often, and I am frequently stressed and depressive, but it could always be worse. He has gotten me a better job than I ever thought I could manage, but even that includes its struggles. In the end, these are questions beyond any of here...

I believe that recreational use of mind-altering drugs is prohibited. Ie: "Do not be drunk with wine.", etc. Messing with our brain's functioning via chemicals is just another fleshly diversion that can carry all sorts of destructive consequences. However, if I were in need of severe chronic...

That about covers it. In a perfect world, this thread would be closed now.

Three weeks in, and He's blessing my family and I tremendously. The position is better than I had dared hope and the company shows all the sign of being healthy and well run. I like those I work with, the schedule is better than my old job, and it doesn't hur that the money is much better. I am...

The one eternal God became a man, for 33 years. He did not cease being God during this time. While here in a body, He came not to earn His own salvation through dead works, but to earn ours through His well-documented life and its deeds. Remember, satan said, "I will be like the Most High." and...

No. Am not. Temptation, spiritual warfare. Arguing with my wife about ridiculous things. Really contending. No name-calling, but not fun, nonetheless. God is still good. Days like this I wish He'd hurry back for me, tho.

I start Monday, March 9. He truly does do above and beyone all we could ask or think. Best part is, I have existed in my comfort zone and have operated in my natural strengths for the last quarter-century. But He found this position for me, and to succeed in it is beyond me. I will have to rely...

In the stupidiy hall of fame: Abraham, not once, but twice claiming that Sarah was his sister, because he was fearful of something that might happen because of her beauty. IIRC, Isaac learned this somehow and pulled the same stunt himself. What's really shameful for our heroes here, is that they...

Inception. What a piece of junk. And with Leo? He was good in "Catch Me if you Can", but Inception???? Bleh.

The last few years have been tough in my field, and switching has been difficult due to a modest education, and my high-functioning-autistic nature that finds change very difficult. My arc in my career of the past 24 years is basically at an end due to changes in the business that have affected...

But those accusations agains Christians were lies. The Mormon practices specified in this thread are for the most part true. Swing and a miss.....

She might not know everything they believe. Remember that the LDS organization involves itself in your entire life. It is very controlling and they deliberately make it diffcult to leave. As much as I hate their lies and all the spritual evil that uses the LDS to control and enslave people, most...

At least for today. Mine: Van Morrison-It Stoned Me, Bob Dylan-You're a Big Girl Now, Bob Dylan-Tangled Up in Blue, Van Morrison-Caravan, Johnny Cash-Man In Black.

You must be perfect in your love of others, as God is perfect. This is not saying that we must have a Godlike perfection. If we could, Jesus would be unnecessary. On the contrary I believe the verse tells that it is now possible BECAUSE of Jesus' work and the Spirit, or at least to strive for...

Sounds like business as usual in the World as best as I can remember it. Extra points for whoever gets the reference. (not too hard)

A situation we're all familiar with: A person decides to come on to me and I don't see it coming. My limbic system begins to react to her pheromones, posturing, tone of voice and all the rest of her very effective messaging apparatus, verbal and nonverbal. I begin to sweat, my pupils dilate and...

This thread is hilarious, especially the song! As others have said, Song of Solomon. Why would anyone commit to a lifetime of exclusive sex, with someone they wouldn't want to have sex with? Seems rather stupid. God wants us to desire our spouse and enjoy sex with them. It ought not be a chore.
