Well then, if no one suggested that it was good or ok, then obviously the answer isn't to condone this not good and not ok thing by holding the persons hand while they do it. What's the fear, that the friendship will be lost if a line is drawn?

While there is a time for solitude, it's nothing more than a season. Life is about people. God is about people. Christ came to minister to people.

Unmarried, planning to have sex, looking for people to agree with the decision... and finding agreement among Christians... God help us

But since she's your mom, nevermind

I generally don't like to do this but it is scripture: Jud 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

I'll tell you what I tell myself when I get to thinking other people's eternal destiny can be changed by me: predestination. God uses us to bring other's to Christ, yes, but we also have no power in and of ourselves to bring someone into relationship with God. Yes we should always desire to...

But don't feel down if your thought life isn't as you would like it to be. God will get you there, you just have to have patience.

Scripture to tells us to think of good things at every opportunity: Philipians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there...

We rely on one another right? That's why the scripture says we should bear one another's burdens.

Actually, the bible says the opposite of what you think it does. The great apostle, Paul, wrote "seek not a wife"(Chapter and verse?..). And I believe that verse in proverbs is more about finding what's already near you rather than deviating from the path, to be consistent with what Paul wrote.

No one can behave well enough to escape hell. But God himself will give us confidence in the person of Jesus Christ. It is there for the asking, and if that's is what you want I have no doubt that God will give you exactly that. Luke11:13 "If you then, though you are evil, know how to give...

imo you don't fight this stuff. There are pills and diagnoses for these kinds of things. It's far more comfortable to believe your dealing with a chemical imbalance than it is to believe your dealing with armies of fallen angels when you don't have the faith to stand it. Talk to a psychiatrist.

I've been though that sort of thing lots of times. Thankfully it's been about a year since I've dealt with anything like that. I don't even know what to advise though. I don't even know if the way I would deal with it is healthy. But what I would do is make a point of avoiding her in every...

The book of revelation describes the Angel of the Lord. But just because there is a physical description doesn't mean that the being has a tangible body, and needs to eat, etc.

It isn't magic, it is the power of God and the blood of the Lamb of God. Those things alone make us perfect with God, because He sees his Son when he looks at us. He sees who we are in Christ. But of course Christ is our judge, and he will correct us accordingly. We don't have to fear that were...

She's a wise woman to take the bible seriously. She will be honored because of her decision at some point.

Or actually monogamy might have come in with the Levitical laws first (priests only).

Seeking it only makes you blind to who the other person actually is. If you keep your mind on God you can be objective, and not make a stupid decision. The divorce rate is evidence that people ought to be thinking this way. And marriage came into effect with the Mosaic Law. And monogamy with...

Why can't you let go of things you have done? You know that it isn't God's will for you to be tormented by the past. Pray to God for him to show you how to be free of those things. He can show you how to let go.

If it's not sin do it. But personally, I don't do things that might make me uncomfortable. But some people can bring themselves to be fools for Jesus. More power to them.
