My husband and I are 100% on the same page politically but the “living with the enemy” got my attention because my husband is my enemy. He is a verbally and emotionally abusive for 10 years now and during Covid and being stuck home I am pretty sure I am living with the devil. Like the other...

maybe I misunderstood. I thought someone was suggesting baptism saves. I have met people who thought that.

Unfortunately, this verse is debatable.. "because of" Here's one opinion and a link to another opinion on gotquestions. Is Baptism “Because Of” or “For” the Forgiveness of Sins? | Radically Christian

Our sins are forgiven and we receive the Holy Spirit when we repent and put our faith in Jesus, not get baptized. right?

Many times the gels don't bring up the T levels, and have terrible side effects - hair loss. There are so many other forms of intimacy that are awesome, and more compatible with an aging body. Here's one description: Real intimacy is about a relationship with a person who is unique and who...

This is a very helpful read: When You Want Your Husband to Initiate Sex

You are a really good friend, and she is so blessed to have you. She doesn't hear your wisdom or heed of warning which makes me believe she might be saved. Maybe go back to the basics of the gospel with her - faith and repentance. Can you show her some verses about our flesh, temptation...

We need to take scriptures in "context" and in light of other scriptures as well as the whole, overall theme of the bible. We get in trouble if we just take one verse by itself "light shouldn't have fellowship with darkness", and use it as a blanket command. Maybe find a book, or take a...

I can relate to what you are saying. You very likely have the personality type that excels under pressure and thrives at a challenge, and probably operate in 2 modes - full force 100-120% or little to none 0-5%, and possibly work in a pretty laid back environment. If this is the case, then you...

I am so sorry you are struggling. I have about spent a lifetime dealing with general anxiety as well as social anxiety. I have pretty much read ever christian book on the subject and a lot of psychology books, and tried medications, supplements, meditation, etc.. The Lord has brought me a lot...

Welcome to the forum, and please stay around! I have no doubt you have a lot to contribute!

This is hard, but please don't forget how awesome it is that the Holy Spirit is drawing you in and you have solid assurance/evidence of your salvation based on your fruits and the book of 1 John! I haven't read what others suggested, but I would say people come and go into our lives for...

Seemed you were suggesting actions NOT words... sorry if I misunderstood.

But there are loving, lost people everywhere. People are being loved right to hell. ?

Not supposed to throw our pearls before swines or something like that, but how can it do more harm than good? They are already spiritually dead and lost, how could your amazing testimony push them further into the dark? I never understood that -- prob for another thread.

Yes I know what you mean. It's like something really amazing has happened to me and is living inside me, and I want the same thing to happen to them, and they just don't want it. It does make me feel awkward but then I tell myself that I planted a seed, and the awkwardness or embarrassment I...

There is nothing weird or bizarre about this! If she is listening to her Lord and pastors, they are very likely telling her to "date for a mate".. My daughter recently broke up with her boyfriend of over 2 years for similar reasons - she didn't see him as someone who would be the spiritual...

It seems like it is ongoing if they are still identifying as the opposite sex. ?

Oh I agree, we have no ability to live the Christian life without the power and filling of the Holy Spririt. So many aren't walking in love, and defeating sin because they are operating in their own strength, which has the domino effect of being a poor witness for Christ in a lost, fallen...
