    In heaven, will we be without sexual desire...?

    I don't know the answer to that question but I fervently hope that heaven is so amazing that we will never think of lowly earth things again. While my imagination can't conceive of things better than sex, I'm hoping God did.

    Is The Internet The 666 Beast?

    I don't know anything about the internet but I'll probably go to my grave believing that the 2020 US Presidential election was won by ballot harvesting or just flat out fake ballots. It does not happen in the state I live in because not only do you need a drivers license or non drivers...

    Notion of God outdated?

    It depends on what your notion of "good" is. Most people consider themselves good if they are better than Hitler, so if you've murdered fewer than 6 million innocent people you consider yourself good because of the grading scale. The bible says God's standard is beyond our ability. I...

    Jim Cymbala

    His book Fresh Wind Fresh Fire can be live changing. Cymbala is unique in that he was not originally educated in theology school. He was actually a college basketball player. He got married and graduated and didn't have a job. His father in law (I think) was a pastor and pushed him into...

    Feeling very isolated

    First off let me say that I am going to pray for your chronic pain issue. This is certainly an attack by Satan to harm you and keep you down. I'm not saying there isn't a physical cause, doctors are gifted by God for us to take advantage of. However I suspect our physical bodies are...

    Bowing out - Star Trek

    My cousin saw the Star Trek movie and said it wasn't any good so I'm glad I didn't waste my money on it.

    Can't be saved.... plans

    The verse you are talking about may be misunderstood or mistranslated well in English. I have notes in a Greek/English bible that indicates that the phrase "Blasphemy of the holy spirit" is not well translated/understood. In fact tell me what you think that phrase really means because I...

    The Bastard Curse - Are you Affected?

    Children born out of wedlock often to suffer due the sins of the parents. I don't believe the children are "cursed" but they start out life outside the family plan God had in mind and that results in some negative stuff. Certainly if that child ended up being raised in a loving Christian home...

    Can't be saved.... plans

    The only documented sin that you cannot be forgiven of is to deny that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Everything else can be forgiven if you are willing to repent and ask forgiveness. Now if you married someone God didn't want you to marry, this in my opinion isn't a sin, this is ill...

    Bowing out - Star Trek

    I'm surprised this thread has managed 6 pages of argumentation. As others have stated, No sulu is not gay because the man who played him and knows him best said he was not gay. And being gay for him to say that you can rest assured sulu was not gay. So for them to fundamentally alter the...

    Bowing out - Star Trek

    I would classify it as shoving it down my throat by taking a character that was not gay and making them gay just to satisfy their need to "re-educate people like me". It would have been more legitimate had they introduced a new character who just happened to be gay, though I would still have...

    Russia's Proposed Law: No Evangelizing Outside of Church

    I'm sure Hillary is jeallous.

    Bowing out - Star Trek

    I am well aware that Star Trek has been a forum to explore current social issues, not hating people because they are of a different race is a relevant AND Christian supported social issue. Many felt interracial marriage was a sin, but that was not supported by scripture and I never once...

    Bowing out - Star Trek

    I've been a fan of Star trek, the wagon train to the stars all of my life. It began the year I was born and I've seen everything they have done. I knew sooner or later they would shove the gay agenda down my throat and I guess now is the time. The new Sulu will have a husband. The...

    Shouldn't our belief in God and Jesus unite us instead of deciding us into denominations?

    It's not quite fair to compare human Churches to other organizations because other organizations are not under 24/7 attack from Satan. I believe we are not unified because such unity would be bad for business for Lucifer. This won't work forever though. For one every church I visit now I...
