The book is horrible. As I said, those things are all in the first two chapters. That was all we read before tossing it (which was only after a healthy amount of debate on whether or not to roast marshmallows over it on the grill out back). As for protecting us, I've got that covered. I've...

That self-help book I mentioned, What Do You Want From Me? by Terri Apter, actually came from an aunt. She had given a copy to my parents, who read it and (according to her) liked it. It says things like there are 6 people in the marriage bed (husband, wife and 4 in-laws), men don't need top...

I thought I should post a little about myself and why I'm here. I've been married for almost two years (give me another two weeks and the "almost" can go away). Even before meeting my wife, I would have told you I was a momma's boy. I knew it. I didn't know she, my mother, was abusive and had...

Yay for a 2 year old thread that has reached 30 iterations. That's over 30,000 posts (since I know the first two iterations were more than 1000 posts each). *presses the enter key by blowing on one of those silly things where you blow in it and it unrolls and makes an annoying honking sound*

The guilt and pain are a good sign. It means you understand you've sinned. You also seem repentant and remorseful. Don't worry about being forgiven. You are... at least by God. But you must also forgive yourself and seek forgiveness from the guy you were with (if you haven't already)...

I never said that it's wrong or stupid to participate in forums. Just that questions like this one are stupid and without reason. My point is that situations like this are so unrealistic, you're more likely to find a talking, thinking monkey that could come up with questions like these than to...

First off, a church accepting money with strings attached, is a bad idea. If it's not given cheerfully for the church to use as needed, then they should not accept it, IMO. Secondly, I've never heard of a church paying the musicians. All the churches I've been to have always had volunteer...

My opinion: Questions like this are stupid. What purpose do they serve? You asked a question which you answered yourself only a sentence later! What practical application do you get from asking these questions? The likelihood of ever being in the situation where the ONLY source of food is a...

Yay! My 1204th post!

Mmmm... Tacos. Tacos is good stuffs. Really good stuffs is tacos. I loves me tacos. I loves them goooood.

Well... that makes two times I've agreed with sketch... Agreed.

The movie sucked as a "based on a book" movie. Standalone, it was good, but not great.

No. I'd rather not get entangled in the lie that mixing religions with Christ is a good idea.

The way you ask makes it sound like there's a checklist we have to do to be called a Christian. "Hmm... I went to church this week, tithed, prayed everyday since Sunday, so far... Aw, crap. I haven't done my Bible study at all this week! Let me look at this handy list of things that count as...

There is only one standard for testing things like this: the Bible. Examine any doctrine a church teaches in light of scripture. Examine their actions in light of scripture. If things do not match up, talk to the pastor about it. If they won't change their ways to what scripture says, or...

Oh. My. Gosh. You are now contending that Jesus didn't say something that the Bible says he said? What's next? God didn't give Moses the Ten Commandments, he made them up on his own? I mean come ON! Where do you draw the line between trusting the Word of God to be 100% infallible (which it...

To answer your question, both men are saved, but the man who can't beat temptations is saved as a man escaping a fire (1 Corinthians 3:11-15). The obedient man gets crowns for his obedience, but in the end we're going to lay it all at Christ's feet anyway, so the crowns are just more that we...
