    Trying To Leave Abusive Relationship ~ Please Pray!

    Thank you...Amen! You see ~ it is good though because I truly haven't been asking myself should I stay or should I go. I know that "going" is what I want in the end and what I need. It is more a question of: how do I go when I am finding it difficult to? I take your word seriously because you...

    Trying To Leave Abusive Relationship ~ Please Pray!

    So, he is a believer. He believes in Christ, His death, the Resurrection, and His role as Savior...but obviously, this is very clear from my post, he doesn't prioritize living the faith. He just believes it and it is not a part of his actions and the way he lives his life.

    Trying To Leave Abusive Relationship ~ Please Pray!

    Was is physical or emotional abuse? It is so weird because in a way I feel rushed to leave, like I need to do it now while I have the clarity, but I just don't get what it is that is holding me back so much. On the other hand, I want to process everything and pray and really allow God to work on...

    Trying To Leave Abusive Relationship ~ Please Pray!

    Hello, brothers and sisters! I am about to do something that I rarely ever do, and that is ask for prayer for myself. I am opening up on here about something that is very personal to me, and quite sensitive. I ask that everyone, if they choose to respond, is kind and gentle-hearted regarding my...

    What does the Bible mean about the role of women?

    Hi @ElizabethAdams !! I feel so refreshed that you are now on CC. I am 21 years old, you are 18. We are both young women who are living in a crazy, trialing world pursuing Jesus with all we have. I feel like I can relate to you and that's a great feeling. Truly, my first suggestion to you would...

    "Don't Raise a Dinah:" Thoughts?

    Okay, even if this were the definitive case (because I cant deny that some women do dress provocatively to attract attention, but we also cannot generalize that as the one and only reason a female has ever dressed revealingly), and the woman was trying to "invite attention" like multiple people...

    "Don't Raise a Dinah:" Thoughts?

    “But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die. But you shall do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no offense punishable by death. For this case is like that of a man...

    "Don't Raise a Dinah:" Thoughts?

    Alright ~ If I am being quite honest, I don't think its fair for you to say everyone should know better considering they just have a differing opinion than you. This is just my observation and personal outlook, but I don't think your stance on this issue is truth, because it is not strictly...

    "Don't Raise a Dinah:" Thoughts?

    I think her point is that you can't fully blame the woman because ultimately, if a man chooses to rape or sexually assault her, he sinned out of the human nature of his own heart. That was HISE choice that HE made to SIN against her. I am not fully disagreeing with you, because I agree to a...

    PRAY for unbelievers!!

    Yes @EliBeth ! We need this balance. It is so important. LOL, I have a tendency to do the same exact thing. I truly think you hit the nail on the head here. That is why I emphasized beforehand that for today's Christians, I really believe that it is crucial for us all to focus on the "c" of...

    The Role of Women in Ministry & Life

    You can go to the Scriptures for all of your answers, and still have questions about what the meaning of something is. I don't know where this preconceived notion is on here (sometimes) that if you ask a question about an interpretation of something than it means you don't understand the word of...

    The Role of Women in Ministry & Life

    This is why I have always grappled with this issue ~ God has used so many women in such strong, powerful, beautiful ways...the verses I provided almost seem contradictory, but I don't want to discount Scripture at all. I want to take it for what it says.
