    Do you think finding a spouse is more difficult now than in the past?

    what struck me in the Bible was how Jesus warned what it was like in Noahs day they were marrying and being given in marriage and the flood came, then he also compared it to Sodom and Gomorrah where nobody was actually getting married but doing whatever and whoever they pleased and it was struck...

    What Does It Mean Today When Someone Says, "I Want to Make Friends"?

    Friendship with the world is enmity to God. I often think that God is so jealous that he wants us no part of the world. He loves the world yes to save us from it but He is not the god of this world, Satan is...and the world is headed for destruction. But I think its hard for people to give the...

    What Does It Mean Today When Someone Says, "I Want to Make Friends"?

    I have watched the musical remake of Mean Girls. How do we really know if someones trying to befriend us or they harbour secret desires to push us under a bus. I dunno. Or maybe they want to be MORE than friends. Who knows. I think in the US its complicated thanks to drugs and alcohol and...

    Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

    Its easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich person to enter heaven I think its in the Bible somewhere. I guess they dont want to lose all their jewellery? Maybe they check out your bank account. If you could afford everything in heaven, then you stay on earth and make...

    Would you date yourself?

    um I dont know how to answer this. I think everyone deserves some one on one time or undivided attention regardless of who they are, and to have some time out enjoying someones company. if thats what a date is. I can only think that people in jail or pyschopaths should not date or if they...

    How does this work?

    you post a topic and hope some people reply and then you reply to them is how forums work in general. Not its not like facebook, bragging posts and selfies and random memes are generally not topics round here. Just ask a throught provoking question and then responses may come flooding in, and...

    Do you think finding a spouse is more difficult now than in the past?

    Of course Solomon had no problem, but then in those days there was apparently no limit. I think in most countries and in churches you cant be polygamous unless you are FDLS. I find pastors are not too interested in the love loves of their congregations unless its a really small sect and they...

    Do you think finding a spouse is more difficult now than in the past?

    I think the woman at the well who had the five husbands probably didnt find it all that hard to find five husbands but it was more keeping them that was the issue. I dont know why Jesus said to her 'the one you are with now is not your husband' while she was sort of flirting with him though...

    What Does It Mean Today When Someone Says, "I Want to Make Friends"?

    I think that if you new to an area (say new to a job, or in a class where you dont know anyone) its important to make friends. People find it hard when theres established friend circles and to join in with people whove known each other for a long time and you just a newcomer. You dont know the...

    ordered a kilt

    well enjoy your kilt I dont do scottish dancing, but many church ladies I know do, in fact there are too many church ladies I know called Heather. In Nz if you are maori and doing kapa haka (dancing/performance) you will be wearing a flax skirt if you male or female. Skirts are just better for...

    Do you/should you disclose personal financial information to extended family or close friends?

    Well why not just stop coveting what others have. If you are unemployed you do need to know salaries of job you applying for to have an idea if its worth going for or so you can afford to live on it though. So its a reasonable question but you can find that out easily with an internet search...

    Do You As a Single Person Feel More Pressure to Get (or Stay) In Shape?

    I dont know about the whole God had a spouse for you but your rejected them thing. I mean how many marriage proposals on average do people reject? Dating you accept that person to go out with you when you say yes. You dont always know what they will be like thats what the point of dating is...

    A problem with KJV-Onlyism

    I think they just like that version of the Bible and stick to it thats all. If you dont then dont worry about it. If you dont know which one ask God which Bible is best for you. I think its easier to just read one Bible than 20 different ones all at the same time. People always find they end...

    Biblical view on vacations?

    What that doesn't make any sense, why would you feel guilty over something somebody else does? You don't have to go away or buy nice things when you use your time off to volunteer to give to church and community. Nobody is forcing you to buy nice things or have a vacation to go away, those are...

    Well yes I am calling into question the authenticity if its american or USA as sheep farming and wool isn't a big thing there. Its like how silk has to be originally from China or or its not real silk but imitation And champagne has to be from France, in particular the champagne region. I mean...
