    Next Big Debate, Obergefell v. Hodges, Gay Marriage

    I don't know how to answer your poll so I'll give an answer as to my own thoughts. Homosexuality has a very long history in the world up through this day, and while it's a deviation from normal human sexuality, the fact that it exists and will continue to exist is something we must keep in...

    dreamcatcher question!!

    A dreamcatcher as an element of Native American art and ancestry is a beautiful thing and lovely to have in one's home (even above your bed), but the saints in heaven protect no one, according to the Christian faith (Protestant), it is the Triune God who saves and protects and guides us through...

    Should I Say Something

    Wow... Maybe you should check yourself because honestly that's likely one of the most arrogant posts I've ever read, and I've read a lot. Calm down, check the ego..

    Should I Say Something

    I misspelled nothing, I said exactly what I meant, as in, we have both given our detailed opinion on the off topic posts. (Our 2 cents). You don't have to appreciate my usage of terminology but I can assure you it was quite intentional. On other forums, what I'm used to in threads asking...

    Should I Say Something

    All this is off topic at this point, and I'm personally finished throwing the topic out of the boundaries of the OP. As a besides - Bible is speaking to the thirsty...not the general pop. No need to reply, we've both spoken our piece.

    "Disciplining" children

    They took mother's out of the home at about the same time as God and prayer out of school. Good parenting, attentive parenting, alleviates much as children get older. We are seeing a decided lack of parenting as a whole from our society, not just a lack of God.

    "Disciplining" children

    I don't think the Bible outlines specific offenses... As parents we must use our best judgement. As with all things some things children may do are more serious, other things not so much. A child chasing a ball into the street is life threatening, I'd automatically swat my child/grandchild's...

    Should I Say Something

    P.S. a bunch of people running around completely ignorant of the faith they claim as their own and the Scriptures which contain the very Word of God telling random people they don't even know to "accept Jesus Christ into their heart" does more actual damage than good - just saying. The Holy...

    Should I Say Something

    I take the whole "don't throw pearls before swine" comment Jesus made a bit more serious than most The OP asked for advice on what to do in a situation that involved an abusive man and the advice I gave was appropriate to that ask, and came from myself who has lived under severe abuse.. Only...

    Should I Say Something

    What was it in what I said that led you to believe I'm advocating "teaching people to be 'good' without Jesus?" Just curious... Because as Jesus said there is none good save (except) God...

    Should I Say Something

    Some women are magnets for abusive men... It's in their naivety, general ignorance of human nature and their more submissive nature - either that or they possibly had abusive father's and can't recognize the cyclical nature of abuse in order to break the cycle. In order to warn any woman away...

    Why did God create in six days? Does it not have any relation to Life-affirming Design?

    I think 6 is the echo of life, and when we see this echo thousands of years past being spoken about in Scripture, then and now we see the Hand of God over all things. When I say echo of life I'm talking more scientifically, since carbon is the basis for life as we know it, and carbon is the...

    We have a problem, whenever we look at a fellow Christian and think...

    First, I think you're misreading the scripture somewhat. We are supposed to judge our fellow believers, (1 Corinthians 5:12-13) as the health of the church is our responsibility, however we cannot do so hypocritically - we must remove the log from our own eye first. That said, if only you and a...

    Dick's sporting Goods pays $4,000 for someone to have an abortion

    It saves companies in the long run, you have the consideration of medical leave for the birth (minimum 6 weeks off), plus more call-outs if the child is sick etc. Childless employees are far less costly and more hassle free..

    How to identify good soil?

    Literally anyone can become saved, anything from a prostitute or a drug addict to a billionaire. There should be no people group that we ignore, God is not a respector of persons.

    How to identify good soil?

    Are you asking I suppose then about identifying who among the unsaved will eventually listen and become saved? That is not for us to know. We have to treat everyone who is yet to be saved as a person who may eventually become saved. When I was in my unsaved state I did have a few encounters...

    I am NOT happy!

    I don't think I tell many people how I actually feel when they ask... Not even those close to me. I will tell my husband when my pain levels are living hell .. but I generalize depending on how close someone is to me. The "I'm in living hell" I might tell my husband or son will be "healing...
