I must sadly report that I have never found myself in the situation of needing to defend myself against aggressive women. I don't know why! Perhaps it's because I am a short/stocky man with four legs who shuffles along due to over-sized feet wearing body armor and carrying a lightsaber. Please...

It doesn't get much clearer than that! (y)

I apologize for the fact that everyone else must suffer though each post that you make. . . .

Because my trust is in Christ rather than myself. We are told in 1 John 3:9 - No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. Please note: It does not say No one born of God ceases to sin, which is...

Such as never having to repent when you fail? ;)

One day you'll understand that we are unable to! That's why we understand the need of a Savior, unlike you 1 John 1:8-10

All good points! There will always be a risk, but I believe it is a risk worth taking, especially while younger. I would add a couple of thoughts. 1) If you live in a large town or city, consider buying property in a smaller town perhaps 15-20 miles away in the direction of growth. You would...

I am not in the market to buy/sell my home. I'm also retired so I cannot speak for the security to be found when it comes to remaining employed. But you are correct when you speak of older people being faced with decisions about what they should do. I have lived in my current home for about...

Yes I was.

Good point! I see what you are saying, covet is a thought while committing murder is an action. But doesn't scripture suggest that we can commit murder in our hearts as well?

A few questions for everyone. . . When you read through the Ten Commandments, do you tend to prioritize them? In other words, would you consider that [You shall not covet] is less offensive than [You shall not murder]? And, if so, do you think that God does the same, or are they equal in His...
