I agree with the previous 2 post (Ahwatukee & One Faith). "Verily I say unto thee, To day thou shall be with me in paradise". Why would Jesus specify that He was telling him today, that would seem assumed and obvious. No, imo his specificity was to designate when they would be in Paradise/Hades...

Very profound and encouraging... People often think there's someone else who can make them happy, or they convince themselves that if the only had this or that, then they'd be content. But such is seldom the case, happiness must emanate from within first, then we usually attract what we project...

The original question was "Is masturbation a sin?"... Didn't say anything about porn. I personally don't believe it is.. And if it is, I'm guessing we are all guilty of touching ourselves at one time or another. To my knowledge, there's nothing in the bible that prohibits gratifying yourself...

Didn't watch the whole thing, but imo, he's taken a spiritual message and made it literal.. In Luke 14, Jesus is simply expounding on the greatest commandment, and the message is not to put anything above God. Your possessions and family take a second place to following Christ. We can't be a...

Sounds like your leaving something out? Your girlfriend was obviously pregnant prior to marriage, did you get married because of that? And you wrote that "they" filed for divorce, but they didn't, only your wife could. Surely she gave you a reason? I'm not accessing blame, just wondering what...

I believe Ananias and Sapphira committed the unforgivable sin, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.. It wasn't that they held back some of the money, but that they lied against God's Holy Spirit

Its no sin to live your life alone, but complete isolation and remaining inactive may be a 'pride' issue? You shouldn't hide from the world, force yourself to get out and live, and try not to care what others may think or say. You wrote; "I will not end my social isolation, i will keep living...

Jacob wrestled with an angel all night (Genesis 32:22-32), so I reckon there's nothing wrong with MMA as a sport, as long as your not using it to roll strangers in dark alleys for money :)

If that's your 2 choices, then I reckon you've chosen the correct alternative.. And I'm sure your husband would agree. :)

I don't think its a sin to have an occasional taste, but I'll need to get back with a definitive answer after I sober up :)

I'd have to agree with blue ladybug here. If a guess came to my house and commenced cleaning my tub, toilet, etc, it would make me feel very uneasy.. Its like they're telling you that your place isn't good enough for them.

Welcome to my world :)... Don't worry, be happy for what's good and try not to sweat the small stuff.

If a man is destitute and can't afford to raise children, perhaps he should focus on getting himself in a position to do so prior to having children; "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel" (1 Timothy...

Imo, its never okay to be disrespectful to your Dad... Deal with your anger and disappointment, your mom is gone now and your father has every right to move on and be happy.

I believe the verse is referring to hypocrites, who talk the talk but don't walk the walk.. Its not referring to nonbelievers, because nonbelievers don't call him Lord or prophesy in his name. I'd also guess that its referring to preachers who misconstrue His Truth to feed their own vanity...

Prophets in the old testament were not limited to men, there were a few women that were prophetesses, like Aaron's sister Miriam (Exodus 15:20) and Deborah was a judge and a prophetess (Judges 4:4). God said that "your sons and your daughters shall prophesy" (Joel 2:28). In the new testament...

We are all wrong or mistaken about some things, but I doubt God will hold "stupid" against us.. As long as we don't blatantly misconstrue or twist his word to suite our own purpose, I doubt he will hold a lack of wisdom in contempt. One reason Jesus came not only with the word, but as our living...

If you had some of my dreams, you wouldn't believe in them at all :).. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in an unconscious wandering mind, its rarely God speaking? jmo

It would seem that your mistake was telling your in-laws too much of your business? Giving them the name and phone number of the guy you bought the boat haul from was pretty much inviting them to get involved and interfere. My advise would just be to omit details in order to avoid future...

Everyone has free will, but I believe God predestined certain people for a specific purpose. The apostle Paul is a good example of that, he was busy persecuting Christians, but the Lord turned him around to take the gospel to the Gentles..
