R Really? Don't act surprised. CNN has been molding since the turn of the century.

Well stated. Nice and simple

True, unfortunately

I would gladly receive one of those moment; I've been praying for one of those moments for a very very long time where an initiative taken by the Spirit slays and binds up the power this temptation has. A roommate of mine many years ago had the same experience as you and has been clean (as far...

It's back early in the posts. He relied on the possibility that we felt the same way towards a supposed immoral action. To call such an immoral action (I don't know, let's say genocide) moral is 'absurd' (he used something synonymous). When I have had conversations with Atheists asking them...

Actually, this is momofone's thread

I understand that I was arguing from authority, and that in the end it is irrelevant to the listener if we do not share in the same authority (depending on how we saw 'irrelevant'). But the argument was whether or not one can prove that "human wellness" is intrinsically objective. He stated...

No, bandwagon is me [dis]proving there's a God because a majority of people believe or say there's a God.... unless that's what you're saying

Granted, I did make it apparent that I was arguing from a Christian worldview; I have my own authority, which he understood. I was thinking that I was missing something or some new argument. Tried watching youtube vidz, well just a few, but didn;t really get any clear answers.

I agree that it is, but the problem is that you need to something external, something to maintain the consistency or something like that. Otherwise, if it becomes dependent on what we can all "agree" on, then we're entering into bandwagon logic.

Correct. His argument was not one of policy or value (though in actuality, it was value), but factual.

Was in a friend's wedding not too long ago and got into an argument with one of our other friends concerning slavery in the Bible. Not sure what he was ultimately trying to point out (maybe trying to get the moral high ground as an Atheist), but the debate transitioned to how he could...

I think that's the best thing. In my experience in ministry, direct and persistent challenges could backfire, unless she's the kind of girl who really appreciates and respects leadership. If she's the opposite, the heart wants what the heart wants, and I think prayer, love, and being that...

Whoa, had a dream like that years ago. Outside my parents' kitchen window, we saw the sky raining ash. It was overcast. My sister was next to me and said, "I think Jesus is coming back." Then I woke up.

Dang, wish you the best on dealing with this. I think a common trap the youth are led into is that their feelings are a source of identity. Many soon-to-be teachers from my school are moving on training elementary school students into such an idea. Since she's at the age where identity becomes...

I’ll answer this from a Christian worldview, which is what I’m presuming since you’re here haha! I'll try to keep this brief. As mentioned above, we, as Christians, believe that one may pursue and enjoy sex in so far as it is confined within the parameters mentioned in scripture (The Bible)...

Been a few years now. What's the update?

Hello, been struggling with an addiction to inappropriate content ever since middle-school and even after I became a Christian (20+ yrs). I grew in knowledge of the Word of God and Christian service over the years. What became an everyday act became limited to about 1-2 times every week 2 weeks. The longest I...
