Never look to any man to give you all your goals and dreams. Look to God for that.

Sounds like God is protecting you from a violent unsaved man who might have cheated on you or killed you. You probably were not with him long enough to really know him. You did not love him anyway, you loved the easy life you thought he could give you as a stay at home wife, which in today’s...

You are only 20 years old. You have plenty of time for God to bring the perfect mate to you. I got saved as a teenager. My first wife when I was in my 20s cheated on me repeatedly. I divorced her. My world was turned upside down and I hated the very words “marriage”, “wedding”, and “wife”...

I pray that in your weakness, you will trust Christ and your trusting in Christ will become a mighty David to conquer this Goliath of a problem in your life.

I do not think Paul Thomson meant that Cain was being rewarded by God when God put a mark on Cain. God may have wanted to prevent escalating vengeances spiraling out of control. So God marked Cain to signify that Cain was property belonging to God and only God had a right to deal with Cain’s...

Scholars and theologians have speculated on mysterious biblical topics for many centuries. One might say that how one God could exist as three persons is not something we need to know, yet this is continually discussed in volumes of theology. You are probably correct about how Cain’s mark was...

You were first to make a claim, but you did not back it up with any data, so now you want me to do what you failed to do?

You exaggerate and base your wild allegations on fringe groups. Most Christians do not hate foreigners, Islamists, Muslims, Hindu, or poor immigrants.

As long as you wear judge’s robes and keep accusing God, you are not receptive to Light. You are not humble enough to find answers to your combative questions. We have nothing to forgive God for. Blasphemies like this display a darkened heart that is far from truth. Gautama Buddha denied the...

I do not think that Jesus used the whip on people. He did not beat them. He used the whip to drive out the animals. No, it does not put too much value on objects. It put value on reverence. The merchants and priests overcharged poor worshippers for required animal sacrifices and used unfair...

I get the feeling you are setting yourself up as a judge of Christianity as it currently exists. Your approach seems to be prideful. 2 Timothy 2 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive [quarrel]; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that...

I have heard this preached a lot. For example, here is Paul Washer.

Not sure what you mean. You said : “Which of Jesus teaching do you reject in word, thought and deed. Not to mention through your personal theology?” Are there teachings of Jesus that you reject?

Your reference is not really about building a sustainable life in terms of future planning, or long term decision making, though. It seems to be more focused on the stability derived from consistently obeying the teachings of Christ. Matthew 7 24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of...

I agree with you. If I look down the road of my life, I am not sure how things will work out. But like Abraham, I just trust Gods and keep on walking with him, not knowing where I will end up.
