To what extent do you think the worship team should interact with the congregation during worship on a typical Sunday service? Some people seem to think that everyone on the worship team should intentionally interact with the congregation, at least to the point of occasionally making eye contact...

According to a study at Stability and Change in Sexual Orientation Identity Over a 10-Year Period in Adulthood - Archives of Sexual Behavior that "examined reports of sexual orientation identity stability and change over a 10-year period": "Somewhat more than 2% reported a different sexual...

This sounds like solipsism. For any possible evidence that external reality exists, a what-if explanation is conceivable. However, as with many similar philosophical questions, it's not a question of which alternative is utterly unassailable and logically or evidentially airtight; it's not a...

You're right to the extent that my focus at the time was on preventing misbehavior on the part of my children and that maintaining a good relationship with my wife was not at the top of my priorities at the moment. However, I think that's justified given the situation. Likewise, she was more...

Emotions are byproduct of experiencing reality a moment at a time and being in different circumstances. As humans, we have different moments that invoke different emotions. That is because we do not know all of reality at once, but live it only a little at a time and have a limited...

What do you mean by it being forbidden to discuss sinless perfection?

God is always with you. What are you afraid of? Have you accepted Jesus as your savior and repented of your sin?

That's irrelevant. They knew that weapon technology changes and becomes more powerful over time, from clubs to swords and bows and arrows to crossbows to firearms and so on. The sort of rifles being discussed in this bill are just current civilian-level weapon technology, as flintlocks were...

Lust is not necessarily a sexual term. There is also such a thing as a "lust for power" or a "lust for money". Similar to the Greek word, it also meant (historically) strong (and morally acceptable) or excessive (morally unacceptable, which is its more common usage now) desire of different...
