    STRYPER(entire catalog)

    I have been a fan of theirs, for almost 40yrs.. I did see artists like Rick Cua, Whiteheart, and others. But they never really 'grabbed' me. They never threw Bibles in to the audience. That mere action may seem blasphemous to some, even Anti-Christian. All the members of STRYPER, are...

    We don't need another source, but. What I am referring to. Is when people, who know a person is a Christian. Still mention things like psychics n' Tarot Cards. Despite them being in direct conflict with the Bible.

    How to respond to people who mention what I would call 'prophets of the Devil'

    What I am getting at. Is when people who are not Christian(or have a very loosely defined definition of what it means to be a Christian). Suddenly mentioning things like Tarot Cards, Psychics, etc.; expecting you not be offended.

    Divorced from my wife who continued to cheat

    I sort of know what you are feeling. I was married, 1992-2000. My (ex)wife was raised in a Christian home. But I always had an inkling, there was something wrong with her. It wasn't her obesity(180pds. @ 20yo n 5'2") when we met in 1987. Just from observing the family dynamics, I knew there...

    What I am referring to is, glaring differences that don't get talked about beforehand. My (ex)wife's denial about my incurable (physical)health nearly killed me. She didn't fully admit to the denial, until she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 15yrs. after my divorce.

    I actually forgave her. But she left 2yrs. later. While I was the one in tears, when she left. She never filed for divorce. When my divorce was finalized, she was the one in tears. Sure I had joined her church prior to the marriage, so we weren't 'unequally yoked', but. There was an awful...

    Take a look at this link: Divorce in the Bible(NIV) Where your (ex)wife was physically, and mentally abusive. My (ex)wife was that, and more. I won't deny the fact, that I was no prince, but. When it came to 'in sickness and in health', she treated that like a joke. I have had incurable...
