    Teen loses fight to use alternative cancer treatment

    07/12/2006 CNN.com http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/07/21/sick.teen.ap/index.html Does it bother anyone else that the US government would step in and tell a family what treatment they must choose in a situation like this? and threaten to take away their child if they don't comply? I would be...

    What you want to be versus what you are.

    I'm not sure about other cultures, but Western culture seems prone to believe that what you want yourself to be is more important than what you are. Primary examples. Transgenderism: believing that you're a member of the opposite sex. Homosexuals and hermaphrodites are entirely separate...

    Advice?

    Quick question... I'd been sober for 2 years and 3 months, prior to last month. God helped me quit last time, after a 3 year binge. I know He'll help me now, but I don't want to go through that again, the same way. Do any of you have any suggestions as to what could help me get back in line...

    Question on Modern Prophecy Teachings

    Explanation Was watching Gregory Dickow on TBN this morning. He was talking about Ezekial 37 (quoted below for reference.) He used that chapter to make the argument that Christians should "prophesy" to their problems, instead of just relying and waiting on God to take care of them, or...

    Would you repent of homosexuality if...

    If God were to come down *poof* and tell you that homosexuality is wrong, and that you should repent: would you? I'd like this not to be a debate thread, and to stay nice and peaceful, but I'd definitely like to hear the reasoning for your answers if you feel like posting them.

    Marriage and "One Flesh" Scripture

    I'm really unclear on something, evidently. Matthew 19: 3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4 And he answered and said unto them, "Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made...

    http://www.religioustolerance.org/abs_true.htm Do you believe that absolute truth exists? Please vote, and post your reasoning if you feel like it. I'd prefer this not be a debate, but a simple voicing thread. EDIT: Apologies. Question was originally "do you believe that moral truth exists?"...

    Two Questions About the OT Law

    1. In Deuteronomy 22:28-29, it says [paraphrased] that if a man finds a virgin and "seizes" or "lays hold of" here, and lies with her, and they are found out, the man is to pay her father 50 shekels of silver because he humbled the girl, and shall marry her and not be permitted to divorce her...

    The Foot of Pride

    You seasoned Christians that are reading this, please tell me if you think I'm off base with this. I've been told my whole life that I have really low self-esteem, and that doesn't bother me because according to God's word, I should in some sense... at least, that's what I've gotten out of it...

    Numbers in the Bible (not the book of...)

    I saw in the recent "Revelations yada" thread on this board, and have heard numerous times, people mention that "7 is the number of completion" and "5 is the number of man" and so on. I'm looking for more info on it, if any of you have good sources. And I was wondering what the point of it...
