No doubt. I know my patience and temper have eroded. I feel more like the man in the debt parable. Every time I'm about to lose my cool with the nonsense this society generates I get a stern look and a presentation of my tab.

The Bible says that there does come a time when one should “shake the dust from their sandals” and forego any further efforts of ministry. I was wondering when one considers this time should be. When I was a kid I used to be fairly nonjudgmental, to the point of questioning whether God was...

Watched that show a lot as a kid. I was glad to find it on dvd. That and Alf.

Wish we had an edit function. Most Christians don't LIVE without questioning themselves.

Hello friend. No you aren't living a lie. Few Christians love without questioning themselves. I too don't have that deep spiritual friendship that I would like to have. These things aren't unusual. You don't need to start over. The Christian walk isn't Chutes and Ladders. I can't give you...

God bless you too. I'll say a prayer you don't trip over your tassels. ;)

A question for the date crowd. I have heard the "Christmas is pagan because a pagan holiday is on December 25th. Quick question. I was born on April 30. Hitler killed himself on April 30. Washington was inaugurated president on April 30th. Many historical events happened on April 30. Now...

It's not worldy for me. I'll keep celebrating.

I plan to keep celebrating Christmas. There is no scriptural prohibition against having fun, giving gifts, or spreading good cheer. That there is no mention of ancient Christians celebrating it is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. For me it is spiritually uplifting to celebrate the birth...

Concerning the opening post - I tend to be instantly suspicious of the concept of blood guilt. To that end I do not hold the crucifixion of Jesus against modern Jews. I also do not feel any sense of shame over their persecution in the middle ages. I hold neither grudge nor apology for events...

In America it is illegal for hospitals to refuse treatment. That is not to say the American system is without flaw. But our flaw is that without insurance you are billed personally for care (often exorbitantly), not that you don't get it at all. In this case I feel I must respectfully agree...

Courts are legal experts, not medical experts. The medical experts in Italy wanted to have a go. This question I will maintain: why not? Expenses were covered. At best you save the child. At worst the parents get closure. I simply see no reason to not take a decision that comes with no...

I find myself in disagreement with the hospital as well. The child was in a vegetative state and likely to die however when you have other hospitals lining up to take a crack at his condition there is simply no legitimate reason to say no. If the child is indeed already gone then he will...

I came here as kind of a refugee from hostile political debate forums and poked my nose in here to see what feels like a near equal level of hostility. I thought I might add a few cents. First: I did vote for Trump. I don't agree with everything he does. Some matters I strongly disagree...

There is no scriptural basis for that. But anxiety and emotional difficulties relating to the neurology which causes OCD and other ASD symptoms can definitely make you feel that way. And I would consider it very important not to listen to that. Your physician can give you options for...

Whoa! There's the bullseye right there. If you are struggling with OCD and deal with Autism Spectrum Disorder then that's the problem. Believe me brain chemistry can be treacherous. It sounds more like you are facing chronic depression than divine judgment. Believe you me I've felt the same...

Galatians 1:8 for my quote.

What makes you think you are going to hell? So far you haven't described doing anything that qualifies as sinful. You say the holy spirit was on your back but not every emotion or gut feeling is the holy spirit. Living on the ASD I have learned to be very careful of tying emotional feeling to...

I have discussed Calvinism and such concepts with my pastor. For my part I question the notion of free will but not in a manner of predestination. Rather I find that we suffer a certain degree of predestination due to circumstance. I explain this often using soft drinks. Let's say I go into...
