Me too. And I've done some really stupid things financially. I took financial risks and got burned several times. But I still have a house and am able to support my young son. I can't explain it other than God's supernatural power. I think we have to acknowledge that we as the church have been...

No, but I'll credit Him anyway. Without His work in my life, you'd probably want to throw me in jail just for my wretched thoughts.

The Holy Spirit kept me from sinning earlier today. He works in my life like that all the time, without stopping. I pray to the Father in the name of Jesus and through the Holy Spirit. He baptizes me, seals me, fills me, illuminates me, and encourages me. And yes, He is a He and not an...

It's okay to remind us to donate. I just remembered that it had been a while for me. Blessings.

It might be worthwhile to check out Dr. Constable's notes concerning the prelude to chapter 5 here: https://netbible.org/bible/Matthew+5 I wish I had more time to comment, but it seems that the word multitude is an understatement. It's a great commentary. I implore you to take a look.

Can you give an example? Also, you mention his bad mood several times. What makes it so bad?

Nope, I respectfully disagree. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Cor. 5:21. God no longer looks at you as a sinful, fallen creature. You ARE the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Halleluiah! Another lie from...

Seriously? "With child?" Are we back in the middle ages now? I honestly can't believe what I'm reading on this thread. It's obvious the institutional churches are doing a dismal job with sex education. We as Christians gripe about our kids being forced to endure sex education in public...

I never figured someone with the monicker: "Black Powder Dualist" to be such a raging feminist, but there you are. You've bought into this idea that all men are solely responsible for getting women pregnant. Maybe we need to go back to sex education in the schools. When you say "luring a girl...

I agree that he should be responsible. If you agree that a woman should be responsible enough to say no once in a while. No, THEY created that child. How is it HIS responsibility more than hers? I would buy that argument if women were willing to give up their jobs. But last time I checked...

I agree with that, however, it should not be a problem. The courts are glad to garnish any guy's wages simply because they are men. How much is that? By what standards are YOU going to measure it? What if it's $0.03 less per hour than what YOU planned? Does he still get to "come home?" Good...

Your boyfriend reminds me of me when I was his age. And you remind me of Rebecca. She and I lived together a few years after my first divorce. About six months passed after I moved into her house when she got pregnant. Before that, the relationship was a disaster. She needed a guy with a...
