Hey, I'm not sure the meaning of your question if something counts. If you're wondering if homosexual sex counts as losing your virginity, then my answer would be yes it does count. But virginity does not equal celibacy. The vow of celibacy, whether lifelong celibacy or celibacy in the sense...

Like the picks thus far :thumbsup: This would be one of my picks. Everyone goes through hard times in life where they feel lost and child-like and are sufferring... some much more than others. And I find this song speaks to the heart of that person and leaves them hopeful in something that is...

Pretty misleading title and article itself. They are saying they don't like the language used. For example, if the language is used in other bills, their fear is that the terms gender identity and sexual orientation could lead to a form of Christian persecution. At least, this is what they are...

I don't subscribe to the label because I feel that fits my view into a box, but I do believe in complimentary roles in a marriage. Scripture is clear in marriage that man is the head of the woman and the main leader. He should provide, lead/guide, be strong and capable in making wise decisions...

Jesus rightly named it the Mammon of Unrighteousness.

If you could pick just one song that you wanted the entire world to hear in their lifetime, what would it be? You can include a "why" if you like or you can just leave it without explanation, whatever floats your boat. If you have more than one, no worries just choose any one of them.

Wow, crazy. Good that things weren't too severe. We've had a few tornados here in Canada as well recently... not particularly common here although they do happen. Something in the air I suppose. I played one of those at a buddy's a few times when I was around 8-10 on an old pc I believe... fun...

One does, and yet the other, the one where Jesus is speaking, just says to believe on his Son. Jesus is saying the work of God, the primary and most important command, the only work that saves, is to believe on his Son. In 1 John it is explaining the main things a person is to do before and...

I believe it is talking about believing in Christ and trusting his death as atonement for your sins. I do like @1213 's post and normally would think scripture was referring to that, however these verses in themselves seem to just be referring to whether one accepts Christ. I'm reminded of...

If you are saved, you are always saved. Jesus says those who are saved have eternal life and will never be condemned, and have passed from death to life. As for continuing in sin, everyone does *to an extent*. For example, till you're old and grey you'll still be checking out women to some...

:tearsofjoy:

Then they are not led by the Holy Spirit if they come to conclusions that are not alligned with truth. The Holy Spirit is called by Christ the Spirit of Truth. It is called in Isaiah the Spirit of Wisdom, Knowledge. People often say the Spirit is leading them to xyz things and conclusions but in...

A woman of God lives out Jesus' will in her life. She seeks God's heart and is obedient to God. She is righteous and will not cave in her principles. She does not actively sleep with men prior to marriage after having been saved. Scripture says be not decieved, he who is righteous is righteous...

Reading the epistles can't cause people to stumble. Saying or suggesting they could to others might though. Also, do you still not believe in the Old Testament? Disregarding both the Old Testament and much of the NT that alligns with the OT? Christianity is not in huge trouble. There are many...

True. Proverbs 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. There are Christian men who do not have the gift of singlehood who go to the grave wifeless. The reason being that even though they are approved and accepted in God's sight, and eternally a child...

Myself, not really. While my family does want these things for me, they don't pressure because they know a healthy boundary. But if anyone does feel pressured, they should not let pressure influence their decisions. You should not settle for someone who is less than what God wants for you...

You could open a Ticket. Choose Category | Christian Forums I'm not sure any of those categories match your complaint, but it's the best way of going about doing it that I can think of.

I had a lip ring when I was a teen in the same spot. Got rid of it because it got infected... you are supposed to wait a certain amount of weeks when you get it to kiss and such but I had a longterm gf at the time and that wasn't an option. She didn't seem to mind it. It doesn't get in the way...

Nope, they aren't permitted, nor are Mormons. I don't think there are really any JW's here. Maybe a few here or there. There are Mormons who post though.
