I won't pretend to know all of the medical lingo behind abortions and the topic at hand, as if I had a medical background. However, I do have a question and point to make. These severe brain and heart malformations, and various genetic conditions, are they often, in the infant, as a result of...

Good ideas guys.

This is a great response!

This reminds me of a poem I wrote a few years ago. Unexpressed Love/Waiting For the One My love is not cheap, as my mind would ponder, but is a love that seeks expression. Crushes coming and going, and yet they are not the one. Is it that my love is given so freely, or is it agony pulling at...

As much as contentment is often praised, I also see it as a negative, because it accepts the mundane, it receives plateaus, and hinders growth. If we can be better, if we can go further, why be content where we are when we can be far more reaching? It is good to be content where you are, but...

It definitely teaches us to honor the Spirit, because the Spirit is the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:17

To not let bitterness defile you. Hebrews 12:15 King James Version (KJV) 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; In line with quoting scripture as you put it, we must also know who God is...

Why does the thread title sound like the title to a book or movie? lol I can imagine a romantic comedy of sorts, but you could tell the tale of her coming to Christ. Have compassion on her. Pray for her. Maybe even invite her to church with you.

Hey Hammster. The reason I rated this post as "funny" was not to goad you, but because I genuinely found it funny (for a couple of reasons). Firstly because of how blunt you stated your opinion and secondly, because you found the responses disappointing, which means my responses were...

I don't know if its God's providence Mrs.Bridges but here you see a person that could use prayer. Archie, may God open your eyes and ears to His voice.

It is like people see Christianity in a legalistic fashion. They see hypocrites because they see some Christians not living up to the professed code (openly). If they only knew about the grace of God, they'd see that Jesus came for the sinner and that these people that fall short of the standard...

I think it has to do with perception. The world sees Christianity as a set of rules and regulations (limitations) instead of seeing the Gospel, and grace of God. It very well may be our own fault. They see "I can't do this, I can't do that", instead of the reconciliation God offers to them...

By the way, I'm sorry Hammster if I am coming off too forward. I am just saying that this post is not the best method of determining people's response to the grace of God, when you use something that isn't representative of God's grace.

It is still a message nonetheless filled with grace. People watch movies based upon the crucifixion of Christ and their hearts melt for their Savior. Your litmus test over here for seeing people's response to grace by pretending a lie is true is, sorry for being so direct, illogical. Why...

You have chosen a poor means of seeing people's response to grace. You should rather preach the Gospel. See their response at Jesus paying their penalty of death (Atonement) for their sins. A merciful act, and gracious towards us as being undeserving of salvation and guilty of sin. Yet, God in...

In reading it I would venture to say it was a spiritual dream with meaning. What I got out of it was intercessory prayer, that you ought to be an intercessor praying for those who don't. They have no hope, and can be in the most dire of situations (hopeless) but through your prayers they can be...

That is a great irony because God has chosen to save everyone. Jesus is not only the propitiation for our sins, but also the world's (1 John 2:1-2). This is good news, that salvation is available to all. There is something about that availability, however, that simply reveals the falsehood of...

One can learn from their mistakes. Knowing what I've done can haunt me, but if I am no longer that person, at the very least, I have the memory that is a lasting stain upon the conscience. Knowing this, it is a deterrent to entertain sin (to not be haunted). Desiring righteousness, and having...

What if you could fly? I'd imagine all the things I would do while flying, maybe even the affect it would have on travel (lack of vehicles, planes, etc). I would do all these things, and in like manner, for this hypothetical what would be the affect of Universalism as a true reality? On equal...

This could be further expressed in showing that Jesus is the final sacrifice for sin and our eternal High Priest (in the order of Melchizedek), having an eternal priesthood (so that He is able to save us completely). He paid the penalty, that is death, and has reconciled us to God.
