opinion game

[lucypevensie]

I think this game was started once a long time ago, but is now lost somewhere. I'd like to try it again.

I'll post some issue or circumstance and the replier must give their ONE or TWO sentence opinion on the matter

THIS IS NOT TO BE A DEBATE.

For example:
I post Issue: abortion

Replier posts: It's murder and is a sin
THen replier gives the next issue.



I'll start. My issue is
Spanking

 

[Kristine]

Spanking is Biblical, but should be used sparingly, reserved for outright disobedience and rebellion when a child willingly knows that he is doing wrong - must be developmentally appropriate to child's degree of awareness of right and wrong; used when other means of instruction or redirection are not effective.

Next issue: mothers working outside the home

[MizDoulos]

Listening to secular music is fine as long as it is uplifting and joyful . . . ya know, like "elevator music." Hehe . . . well, you get the picture!&nbsp

Next issue: Saying grace before each meal.

 

[Kristine]

Something we should do not just before meals but in everything (Bible says "in Everything give thanks").  A good thing to do, so long as it's not a 'hurry up and do it so we can eat' ritual. 

Next issue: eating organic foods

 

[DeleseRose]

Food is good all around. Organic is alot better imho, these cihildren of ours r getting 2 mature looking way 2 young, all these growth hormones in the food weeat 2day is not just affecting the foods we eat but our bodies as well.

Next......................movies going christians------

 

[ZiSunka]

Movies are not necessarily sinful. Some are good to watch. It is up to the Christian to choose carefully what they watch, something good and edifying, not sinfilled and degrading.

Next

Courtship

 

[girlscoutdropout]

Courtship is good as long is it is honorable to God, for example becoming friends with a person and then falling in love.  Dating is not of God and is a modern invention.

next:

women in leadership

 

[lucypevensie]

Many women can be wonderful leaders but I don't think that a woman should be in charge of something simply because she's a woman, especially if there is a man who is more qualified for the position. Vice versa for men.

child beauty pageants

 

[Dewjunkie]

Any person forcing their child to dress up in retarded shiney cowgirl outfits and prance around on stage in front of a bunch of stuffy fashionistas in order to live vicariously through their child's beauty should be drug into the street and pelted with al dente rigatoni.

homeschooling.

 

[lucypevensie]

I think homeschooling can be wonderful, I admire those who can homeschool well. I know some who homeschool and do not do a good job at all though

Letting your kids read Harry Potter.

 

[dmfew6599]

I think as long as you teach your children the difference between fictional books and nonfictional books there is no reason for them not to read them.


Marrying a divorced man with children

 

[Gerry]

The Bible is very clear about the grounds for divorce. If a man is divorced on those grounds and has children and you love him and the children have been properly considered, why not!

Next:

Marrying outside your faith

 

[OracleX]

It may be the safer option to keep your child from learning the garabage of this world but will they suffer social? Also will they be able to handle the world without your protection later on in life if they have lived in a coccon?

Nose picking (comic relief time)

 

[lucypevensie]

Marrying outside your faith: I wouldn't recommend it. If your faith is very important to you then is it not important enough for you to marry someone of like mind?

Nose-picking: LOL just don't do it in public!



war with Iraq

 

[Gerry]

war with iraq

Interesting! Had the Jews in the wilderness obeyed God, there would be no iraq to have war with today!

Why did God create mankind?

 

[reeann]

To worship and praise Him, and to have a relationship with Him.

Issue: Wives submission to husbands

 

[Didymus]

only if the husband is in submission to Christ
must also admit wife may be more knowledgable baout certain subjects the husband.

[Christmasguy]

IMO the goverment is the way it is because that is the way the people make it. If you do not vote or take an active part in the electoral process than you do not get to 'complain' about the government.

Did Adam have a belly button?
