I totally missed it: "He dies not behave with me well," This is a much bigger issue than porn. We don't know what this means however, if you are living with abuse your problems are greater and much more urgent. Sexual addiction and wife abuse are very serious red flag warnings. Your first...

Hello Kisen and welcome to CC. There are no excuses for your husband, what he is doing is wrong and sinful. But please understand your husband is caught in a snare of evil. He may not admit it yet, but he is miserable and full of self-loathing and disgust. He is trapped in a world he feels...

I believe it was king George III himself who called the American Revolution the "Presbyterian Rebellion". Clearly the churches were deeply involved. But it would be incorrect to place the church totally at the center of the rebellion, there were also serious political, cultural, and economic...

Oh my....sorry. I have no idea how this got posted to this forum.

Or Natsrayas, or Nazoreans, or Nazarenes (but not Church of the Nazarenes). I would really like to hear from someone who knows or practices this faith. I have read some information but still have questions. Some information appears a little “out there” yet other info is intriguing. As I...

The point has been made.

Welcome JamesAllen, glad you could join CC. There are lots of questions and discussions here. Jump in.

It may be necessary to pursue serious issues with several Bibles. Sometimes the KJV for a more poetic understanding and at other times plain English versions. A Greek interlineal Bible for quick reference and also The Hebraic-Roots Version (HRV) or the Hebraic-Roots Bible (HRB) can sometimes...

This is the best thread I have read in a long time! :ROFL:

I have no idea if or when a revival will occur or who it will involve. I do feel there will need to be some major events to shake Christians out of their complacency, especially here in the US. We saw a little of this after 9-11 when Americans turned to the church for about six months...

The "Second" American revival began after the American Revolution and has continued in varying degrees since. This involves very charismatic speakers, emotional messages, salvation on the spot, high pressure tactics, public proclamations and is pretty much anti-creedal.

Be careful what you pray for. What is known as the "First" American revival led many to a deeper understanding and belief in Christ. The "Second" American revival however, led millions to church but their faith was shallower and their grace cheap. In many ways the western church is still...

Welcome to CC, and more importantly welcome to your quest. I absolutely agree that challenge is healthy, I look forward tp it!

Hi Theresa, welcome to CC. Can't say I am much of a cat person, but I do love roses. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer. I've read many the past couple of years but this one spoke directly to me.

Not if you interpret "Mary" like many Christians interpret Chapter and Verse.

(Poems: 12:24-25) 24: Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow, 25: And everywhere that Mary went The lamb was sure to go. “Mary” Not Sue or Wanda. Mary alone was set aside for special blessings. She was favored by God. Wanda and Sue are not...

No! Your original post is one of the most fascinating I have read here. Not because of either the questions nor the answers, but because of the mental and linguistic gymnastics that accompany them. If it is deliberate, you are brilliant; if not please keep studying the Word. A friend in Christ.

Stating things simply can be the most profound. I love your poem.

I regret your post has been so badly misunderstood and vilified. You are absolutely correct, those with attractions to their same sex should indeed be celibate and chaste. There is just so much bias in the "Christian" community. (Maybe I can share a little of the venom).
