    Is abortion ever acceptable?

    I never claimed my view or my choice was the right one: neither is right, but in the hypothetical scenario you provided, only one can be saved. Ergo, you are forcing me to make a choice between two equally bad options, so rather than do nothing I would, at the very least, do the thing that is...

    Is abortion ever acceptable?

    Allow me to answer: They are both of equal worth in God's eyes, and therefore I do not have a right to choose between them. However, given that this is a question about a train/trolley running over someone, I suppose if I had to choose, I would choose the girl. Not because she is somehow worth...

    Is abortion ever acceptable?

    Abortion is never acceptable, but sometimes it is necessary; when the mothers life is in danger, and the only way to save either of them is by aborting the baby, that is the only situation in which I would accept an abortion occurring- and even then, I would not be happy about it. In every other...

    Have you ever picked up a snake to demonstrate your faith?

    It's a python, so no, it isn't venomous- I'm pretty sure its illegal to own a venomous snake in the US, and am 100% sure its illegal in MY state, so I won't be get getting one. And it really isn't. Just because you dislike snakes doesn't mean I can't find them cute- especially since they're (as...

    Have you ever picked up a snake to demonstrate your faith?

    You know, I never really got the fear of snakes so many people have. Its an animal, just like any other- I've a couple pet snakes myself and they're adorable.

    Discussion The great Contradiction of the apostate church .

    It's fine- I didn't hold it against you (though Shiniji is a guy), nor do I hold the confusion about my wordage against you. Hope all is well.

    Which Church is THE Church?

    Imo, there is no one "Church" that is "The Church"; the church as it is known in the Bible is not an organization so much as it is an entity comprised of very true believer that has existed, is existing, and ever will exist. No one organization gets everything right, just as no one person gets...

    Am I evil?

    There is nothing wrong with you leaving that Church-if they were trying to make you act as if you were manifesting or slain in the spirit then they were the ones at fault, not you. And as far as faking your experiences is concerned, like everyone else has said; God can and will forgive you for...

    Discussion The great Contradiction of the apostate church .

    First of all, and this very important; Im a guy. Secondly- I never mentioned anything about willful sin vs unwillful/unknowing sins. I merely said that all our sins had been forgiven (and yes, that includes our willful sins, so long as we repent of them) by the Cross; claiming anything else...

    Do Christians Willingly Sin?

    I believe that the spirit of a man once he is saved cannot sin- it is not in him, not a part of his nature nor even a possible part of his existence. This BODY of a man, however, is weak and prone to acts of the flesh (because that's what it is-flesh), and as such is the source of much of our...

    What is the unforgivable sin?

    I would say that, even if someone has previously fallen away from the truth and given themselves over to a lie, they can still be saved by true repentance. Its a difficult issue, and I know my opinion isn't exactly popular, but it is what I believe.

    What is the unforgivable sin?

    To put it quite simply, the only sin that cannot be forgiven is unbelief. Specfically, the only kind of unbelief that will not be forgiven is willful unbelief, rejecting what is plainly and obviously the truth that is RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU and yet you will not accept it as true. The Pharisee's...

    Found out son is gay, what should I do?

    Firstly, and this is important so if you haven't done this then you need to go do it ASAP; let your son know you still love him, even though you don't agree with his life choices. Seriously, that is an important thing. Don't just assume he knows, don't try and push it off as something that isn't...

    I am a weak Christian

    Saint, I want to start by saying that you are NOT a weak Christian- you are a Christian, fully saved and fully redeemed by the Cross and Resurrection, and NOTHING/NO ONE can change that. Now, there are issues with your life- as you've pointed out, you keep sinning. You lust, you lie, youy...

    Is american churches/christianity to far gone? (from a foreginers view)

    I'm going to start with something that you may or may not have already tried (and something your wife might not particularly enjoy); Facebook. I know I know- its not the same as a face to face conversation. But, and this is the key part, most churches, and, by extension, most church members...

    Todd White - Street Healer

    I am always astounded by the sheer silliness of the arguments against healing ministries/ministers- it's strange to think that so many people would choose to believe that the power of Satan is greater than that of God's own Spirit and utterly baffling that they would attack the integrity anyone...

    Discussion The great Contradiction of the apostate church .

    Would you mind to terribly citing the specific part of the Qoran I seem to be quoting? I like actual proof to be presented to me when I'm called out on a possible false belief, you see.

    Why do street preachers use harsh ways to evangelise?

    That's a lot different from "you'll cook like a chicken in hell if you don't repent" and I think you know that.

    Why do street preachers use harsh ways to evangelise?

    John the Baptist preached the need to repent of ones sins- he only ever spoke harshly to the Pharisees, because he knew they came to him without sincerity. As for what you saw Tai, the others are right, most street ministers aren't like that at all. My church runs a street ministry every...

    Questions Wanted RE: Tattoos, Piercings, etc.

    Yes, it's pretty common. It's also a fairly expensive thing to get done (not too expensive, but still around $300 for a good one), so it's not like people are just covering their body with them.
