    Can Christians have a sense of humour?

    as George Strait would say..... "let me tell you a secret about a Father's love....." It's a love without end, amen. Fathers kid around and have fun with their children.... God is like that, I believe.

    And David was known as being the man after God's own heart.... that should tell us something....

    Can Christians have a sense of humour?

    Quoted, of course, from II Assumptions 3:25

    Kilts and similar men's wear.

    I heard a Scot say one time.... "of COURSE it's a kilt! If it was a skirt, I'd be wearing panties underneath..." Not sure if he was serious, or not.... :ROFL::eek:

    Leading communion... Never done anything like this before.

    I'm not good at speaking before a crowd, either. I've gotten a little better at it.... through just doing it. Get your thoughts in order... write them down if you have to, and just read them. When speaking, imagine you are speaking to only one person, someone you are comfortable with, like...

    What can you do if you’re a non-elect?

    Would a Calvanist whack be considered out of whack, or in whack? These spiritual discussions get so confusing......

    Is it ok for Christian Men to be in ministry to immodest women?

    I didn't intend to single out your comment.... others seem to think that a simple observation of another human being immediately turns into a constant seeking out, looking for, uncontrolled, constant leering at the opposite sex. If we, as believers, cannot simply observe another human being...

    Is it ok for Christian Men to be in ministry to immodest women?

    Everyone seems to want to take this to the extreme... gawking, etc... I was talking about the simple observation of another human being that is attractive. I've seen guys that I thought were attractive... does that mean I want to have gay sex with them? Of course not. I've seen many women in...

    Is it ok for Christian Men to be in ministry to immodest women?

    Well, everybody has their own hang-ups, I suppose. Good luck with finding a man that does not notice a beautiful woman. Even gay men notice and appreciate a beautiful woman. I agree with @Lynx .... there is a back story here. And, as a humorous extension to this story... my wife used...

    Is it ok for Christian Men to be in ministry to immodest women?

    Yes, Job was rare.... they even wrote a book about him... :ROFL: I agree that there are dangers of slipping.... we as flawed humans have "up" days, and "down" days, spiritual discipline-wise. I'm certainly not advocating seeking out scantily clad young women, simply to enjoy the view... I...

    Is it ok for Christian Men to be in ministry to immodest women?

    While I agree that many women dress provocatively, we also (as men) need to change the way we "see" women... I fully understand the physiological differences between the way men and women are sexually aroused, but there is also the "self control" aspect of it. If I cannot see an attractive...

    Is it ok for Christian Men to be in ministry to immodest women?

    Who gets to decide what is "immodest" and what is not? Should we nominate a modesty czar in church, and have all the women pass inspection before they are allowed to participate? It is (should be) common sense to not ever (as a man) put yourself into a situation where a woman could accuse...

    Got robbed, robber lives round the corner...

    Not in Australia. Can't do it, legally. Part of Australian law, citing "legitimate" reasons to be approved for the purchase of a firearm.... Genuine Reason Required to Own Gun. To qualify for a gun license, an applicant must show a genuine reason for owning, possessing, or using guns. He can...

    Got robbed, robber lives round the corner...

    Well, at least you can get a gun and defend yourself...... oh, wait.... your government took away that right from you, didn't it? Elections have consequences. Unfortunately, we have too many ignorant people here that are willing to go that route, as well. It's getting worse.

    Baptism

    lol.... ok.

    Baptism

    Not so much. Anything else, perhaps more specific? How would you reconcile baptizing a child, who has no understanding of Jesus, and salvation, with scriptures that say those things are necessary?

    Baptism

    Yes... I might also add to all of your excellent references... what about the Ethiopean eunuch? Philip "taught him Jesus".... riding along in the chariot the eunuch says "look! Here is some water, what would prevent me from being baptized?" He didn't ask for the Spirit to baptize him...
