    Sexual Temptation (TMI warning)

    I could not agree more with JohnDB. Run away from that guy, he is no good at all. And yes, as John said possibly tell your parents. What that guy did to you is borderline sexual assault. If you have sex before marriage, I can promise you that you will regret it. Although I waited for marriage...

    When You Start to Date Someone, Do You Feel Like You Have to Prove to Them You're Not "Everyone Else"?

    I never really "dated" until I got to know my now-husband pretty well. Fortunately, the few guys that showed any interest in me were always pretty good Christian guys who understood where I was coming from. Whenever it seemed like they were trying to "get to know me" as more than a friend, I let...

    Basic income

    It's no good. Politicians say tax the rich, then throw the burden on small business owners instead of the actual rich - since that would include themselves, after all.

    Are we still protesting pagan holidays or did we surrender?

    My parent's still refuse to participate in dressing up and pumpkins and stuff, although mostly it's my dad's doing. They still go to hayrides and fall festivals though. My husband and I dress up and do most of the stuff. We draw a line when there's something that is specifically sacrilegious-ish...

    Cessation of Gifts

    As a general rule of thumb, if the Bible does not specifically say that something has ceased, then there is no good reason to just assume that it has. Doing stuff like that only gives the unbelievers more reason to mock us.

    A Double Standard in Christianity?

    He knows all the passages, and he knows he's wrong. He's just playing coy because that's all he can do.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    The side effect of the vaccine are known? :ROFL: Please tell me how scientists, who by standard study a vaccine for a minimum of 10 years before releasing, can know what the 5 and 10+ year effects of a vaccine is when it's only been studied for little over a year? Time machine, perhaps? I'm very...

    A Double Standard in Christianity?

    Oop, except that's not even true. You must have missed the paragraph on overseers that came right before deacons. You already know what an overseer is, and that a pastor is an overseer. We both know it would be silly to think that the word pastor has little meaning in the bible just because that...

    A Double Standard in Christianity?

    Oh, I'm sure you are. I'm sure you would like to think that at least. I'm sure you very well know the passages in Timothy and Titus that explicitly describe what is required to be a pastor. This means you either deep down you know you are wrong, but would rather embrace woke "christianty", or...

    A Double Standard in Christianity?

    Translation: "I don't have a verse." ;) I know how that game goes, and I also know that you know very well the verses that refute your woke opinion.

    I wish I wouldn't fail

    We have all failed, and we all truthfully deserve the depths of hell. I just thank Jesus that He made a way out for us! I applaud you for having the strength to block the woman, that's a difficult thing. Are you currently active in a church? I know for me it helped so much to have a group of...

    A Double Standard in Christianity?

    Can you show me a verse? Because I've been through the new testament several times and have yet to find that.

    A Double Standard in Christianity?

    I think everyone can look up the statistics on what sort of children single mothers raise. It is no different for pastors, and that's exactly why they are forbidden in the bible. It's nothing against women personally, that's just not what God designed them to do.

    Pastors, Please Quit Doing This

    Respectfully, the bible does not say anything against games, alcohol, or cigars. And in fact, Jesus himself was a regular wine consumer.

    Pastors, Please Quit Doing This

    I do think that we need to get rid of the idea that if someone isn't sitting on a pew for an hour on Sunday morning and Sunday night, they must be backslidden. I have heard a few pastors say that - but ONLY if the person skipped because of football, it's apparently okay if it's anything else (as...

    Vaccination?

    I totally agree that not everyone can be helped. But I also believe that many of the people who died could have been helped. I've worked at a hospital and I've seen it with my own eyes. If a doctor has to choose between saving a life or making money/avoiding a lawsuit/covering up their mistakes...

    Vaccination?

    Just google his name, every article you see will say that he died from covid.

    Vaccination?

    The doctor my mother went to saw his patients in their vehicles. They used full PPE, and their treatments were effective. Needless to say, their parking lot is always full, because what he does actually works. Other healthcare providers are fully capable of doing the same. It is a fact that they...
