Umm yeah sin is sin. One could argue that there are "categories" of sin but sexual sin is a big deal whether you are married or not. Scripture is pretty clear on that. A further distinction was made in Corinthians (somewhere though I can precisely reference if you'd like) about sexual sins...

I'm listening to the chaotic almost "cricket like" sounds of the refrigerator. It's almost like being outside and listening to the cicadas and crickets except after a while it hurts my ears. Were it not for this thread being at the top on the forum list page, I wouldn't have noticed quite so...

That was meant to be a question. Apologies if that was vague. As in A child of God and living eternally in heaven with the Lord isn't "amounting to anything" to you or did you mean something else? Was how I suppose I could have written it but I was replying to him specifically and I thought the...

Yeah the same was said to me. At the time I was like "Ok, sure. When I'm a parent I'll remember to see if this is true. Since obviously I can't call your bluff at present". Not calling them a liar but at the same time, it's hard to believe. Legitimately what I thought, there's no way and still...

:( These reactions just aren't expressive enough sometimes, alas. I also experienced something quite serious and dangerous. I think the wounds are healed but the scars may remain. I don't think scars are a bad thing necessarily because Jesus had them when he appeared after his death but...

Yes @lenna ...too often it seems like a vent for a parents anger/frustration. I've heard people view it as such...basically when the child directly disobeys and it's a situation when danger is present. Like don't walk out in the street and they test you there. Nope. Some things need to be...

Very cool. I forget how elephants are with their young. I haven't ever seen it in person but I have read about it. Ty for the share :) I'll admit I didn't watch the whole thing because I was looking for the thumbnail, but I at least liked that part.

Umm...because I'm pretty sure that he is the Word. Bearing in mind all the faith/sight/human limitations that I have and all the junk the enemy shrouds the world in still Jesus being the Word bears up under intense scrutiny. There are still things that I'm not 100% convinced of but I don't want...

I can loosely understand a lot of your train of thought. Not saying I agree or disagree but there are some things regarding timing that I feel in my spirit, though I recognize that my own spirit can say things and that it's not the Lord, nor is it exactly the enemy...just misinterpretation. I'm...

Hey so your quoted post where you replied in depth had a misquoting error where it got lost within his quote. Just figured I'd throw that in there. If he didn't pull down the rest of the quote he would only have seen where you said "I am with you up to here amen" The next block quote...

That persecution and trials are guaranteed as a believer.

Just across the board or what? Can I ask why you posted what is obviously not what the Word says? A child of God and living eternally in heaven with the Lord isn't "amounting to anything" or did you mean in this life according to the world's standards? In that there is definitely a harsh...

I haven't seen it in years. I think it is more common to restrict a child by depriving them of something they enjoy or curfews/time out etc. I'm not a parent and unless something all of a sudden changes, I probably won't do that. I think rewarding or restricting is a highly efficient means of...

That is probably too ambitious for my ability. Particular with that much meat. I have hamburger but no bacon or ribs (which I don't ever buy because it's hard for me to eat). But I'll see if I can enlist a helper and make a worthy dish ;)

Well, don't let pride stand in your way. Even if you feel like a fool trying to hum a tune to a song that you want to remember and all you recall is "Unna na na"...believe it or not, there are at least a few people here with the ability to help with even the tiniest tidbit and it's surprising...

Except there is a verse saying what to do in such a situation. We are told to remain faithful in the relationship. I think the Lord is fully capable of moving the unbelieving spouse into getting a divorce and relieving the believing spouse of their commitment. Certainly a trial I wouldn't desire...

I've used a compound bow once when I was younger but I was too young for it to not be amazingly difficult to pull it past the little wheels for a full shot. Like @Magenta we did archery at a church summer camp into hay bales. There was even a boy there who could legitimately shoot an apple off...

Do you use it to hunt? There are appear to be certain situations where Archery/"Crossbowery" is MUCH better than a gun from what I can tell, though I don't hunt. I liked archery better than shooting guns any time I've done it, but that was in my early youth. There is something satisfying about...

Well, I'll try it out I think. The Ziti he made one time was excellent, but the other times it was just "pasta and cheese" pretty much. I feel like cheese should only enhance flavor and you shouldn't taste it by itself in a "good" dish but perhaps there are tiny variables that changed when he...

That looks amazing @calibob My brother occasionally is adventurous with cooking. He pioneered some baked Ziti that's not bad so I'll see if he'll give this a shot if I remember on Thanksgiving :p
