    Is self-defense a sin?

    I did Tae Kwon Do when I was a teenager because I was bullied by classmates. Every action has a reaction. I'm not a father or a husband, but if a rapist or a paedophile was to mess with my wife or children, you can bet your bottom dollar that I would use violence to protect my family than...

    The Problem with Breast Implants

    Modesty has nothing to do with what you put or don't put over your body. It's a state of the heart. The original word for 'modesty' is 'kosmios', which is where the words 'cosmos' and 'cosmetics' originate from. It is possible to wear nothing at all and behave in an orderly manner, just as...

    Why is there so much hatred and perverted pornography and over stimulating garbage on the internet ?

    Exactly right, Bella. The only difference is with OnlyFans, for the first time in internet history, adult entertainers and nude models are calling the shots on how they want to represent themselves. They are not being used by some greedy pimp of a webmaster, and they can charge what they want...

    Why is there so much hatred and perverted pornography and over stimulating garbage on the internet ?

    1) The economic rule of "Supply and Demand" 2) Humanity has always thrived on bread and circuses "There are plenty of good things happening in this world, but it's always the bad things that people are going to find more interesting" - Johnny Marr (1991).

    POLL: Are you with or against the prosperity gospel? (generally speaking)

    God does not desire his followers to be poor, but neither does he desire them to be filthy rich. We are to be good stewards of our money and let the money follow us rather than follow the money trial. Jesus affirmed this when he taught "It is much easier for a camel to go through the eye of a...

    The Brick

    There was once a little boy who had a terrible temper and whenever he got angry or upset with other people he would lash out at them and say very hurtful things to them, even if they were not to blame for his anger. One day, his Dad said to him "You need to learn to curb that temper of yours...

    An example of what is wrong with this world.

    Why would a loving God be against responsible sex between consenting parties? Doesn't compute.

    An example of what is wrong with this world.

    Regardless what your stance on this is, whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, I think ALL of us can agree that this woman is a complete joke. What kind of sick mind would turn something which is a very difficult and life changing decision for a woman into some kind of party?! She is...

    Father's porn addiction

    Hi, I am not a parent myself, but I am a recovering porn addict so I will try and give you my best advice on this. Talk to your Dad about it first. Does he know that you sometimes use his mobile phone? If he does, then bring up the subject with him. Tell him you accidentally came across it...

    What happened to the Christianity that gave us the Holy Roman Empire...

    Believers or unbelievers - we *ALL* come from the same source. We all have the same coloured blood and tears. We are ALL God's people, and it is neither through acts of war, hatred, or bloody deeds that His Kingdom will be manifest on Earth. We must look within ourselves to find it through...

    What was Jesus saying when He said "you must be born again"

    It means climbing into your mother's womb and wriggling yourself out again. ;-) Joking aside, I think it means turning yourself around to obey all of God's commandments and learn, teach and apply the teachings of Jesus Christ to all who reach out to you. :)
