Answer to:
Who do you trust will bring a better world? Man or God?
God. Why? Thus says the LORD:
“ Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes flesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the LORD.
Jeremiah 17:5
Where did this curse come from? It came from God in Genesis 3 where Adam and Eve chose themselves instead of God. Trusting in the CARNAL man is no good, but one who exercises his leadership under Gods' authority is worthy....
Answer to:
If God loves us so much, why did he put us in the middle of a conflict, that we had nothing to do with? Albert Einstien's answer as to why he thought God created us was "Maybe he had no choice." If that could be true, then why did He give us that burden?
The will to choose. Conflict: depending on our own choices and decisions they will either make us 'bitter' or 'better' depending on whether we are exercising faith or not. We learn the good stuff when we do things Gods' way through trials and tribulations. We learn HOW to do it by reading and applying it to our lives. We inherited all of this from our original parents that chose themselves...
Answer to:
Are there levels of hell? If I'm going to hell anyway, what incentive is there to behave morally? I deny the Holy Spirit's existance and Mark 3:28-29 says "whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven".
Yes, different levels. Check out Mary K Baxters' experience as she describes her tour. Bill Weiss too. Scripture mentions words such as "the midst" of hell as well as "the depths". Another area is known as "outer darkness". It's a tragedy that you'd accept eternal condemnation for a place not built for you. Get under the blood of Jesus.
Answer to:
Would you as a believer accept Science as a 'holy endeavor' and a sacred enterprise, thus every scientific discovery an act of revelation?
Presupposition: before science, there was God. If science is used as a tool in the attempt to replace the Creator, it is bunk. It shouldn't seek to change what is ordained but rather support the Bibles' truth. Biblically unsupported scientific revelation is simply mans' desire to play god.
Answer to:
"Then God said, 'Let [us] make man in our own image, according to our likeness...'"
(Genesis 1:26) Who's God talking to? Who's "US"?
The Trinity, (God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit) which are all in agreement to One Another.
Answer to:
Was Jesus Muslim?
No. The muslim heritage began with Sarah and Isaac in Genesis. Instead of Gods' promise to Sarah that she would have a child, Sarah and Isaac decided to get a child through a maidservant. They didn't want to wait any longer for the promise God had given them, so they did it their way. Ishmael was this child, which was not in the lineage that led up to Jesus. Read first chapter of...

My wife is texting all the time with a guy at work. Last month they texted each other over 3500 times. Is she cheating on me.
At the very least this could be considered emotional adultery. Both of you need to get to the core of why you're driving each other away from your and her promises. Seek understanding. Have you found a good church? Are you willing to give it a try?
Answer to:
I cheated on my wife and regret it, but the "fling" phoned her and told her everything. What can I do to keep my wife as she shouts divorce now?
Give her plenty of time and if it will permit, space.
Anything you say now will have no credential. All you can do now is to not only seek her forgiveness, but seek help for yourself in this time. Both my wife and I are multiply guilty of this, but now thankfully are clean in this respect; it can be overcome.

Do you sometimes think Christianity is not real? Because Jesus came to show us the way to His Father. Instead people insist on worshipping Jesus, and no one knows the name of His Father. Christians are content to call His Father, GOD. That's not his name.
They're in perfect agreement. What's God really like? Look at Jesus. He's the Perfect Example how we should be patterning our lives after, to reflect His perfect nature (Mt5). Jesus has always existed, before He came here. Awesome or what?? :)

If God is "The Creator" then why is the Satin "The Father of Sin"? God created Satin who tought man to sin. Therefor God created sin?
Yep. He created it ALL (John1), even Satan and his rebellion.
Satan is the father of sin because he rebelled against God desiring himself to be God. (IS 14).
All of this before our first parents hit the scene.

3) Without this search, we'd have no morality because our physical nature is to only please ourselves which could give a rip about morality.

Why does crime exist?
By our own very nature of our hearts, we are desperately wicked. It's acting on this nature that causes these problems outside of ourselves.
Lack of loving guidance and correction growing up, mostly from fatherlessness.
Answer to:
If the governemnt had a machine that could read everybody's thoughts, and used it to identify people planning to commit crimes before said crimes were committed, do you think that would be a good thing?
No because it still remains up to the person whether to act on them or not through their own will.
All of us dishonorable thoughts but most of us will never act on them because of the barrier of good conscience.
To the truly criminally minded, it would seem that there is no barrier observing purely from the outside.

Not all, but a significant portion of them would have a better life if they'd take chances and fully apply themselves rather than wait for their handout. Compassion is granted when there's an honest effort to get out of that condition by consistently trying the best to escape it.

A liberal media to support the continually growing government and its' influence on humanity. For if someone doesn't know how to tie their shoes, they'll make a tax and a program to make sure that persons' shoes get tied. In the end that person still won't know how to tie their own shoes.

Have you committed yourself to the father of your children?
Answer to:
Why do most fathers like mine leave there kids.Why do they have kids in the first place?
Many dads don't realize what they're doing or the impact it has on their kids. If they were more sensitive to it, surely they'd be more prominent in their childrens' lives. I empathize with you immensely. The greater answer is that because there's a lack of dad, you'll find what dad was supposed to be in Jesus. My heart goes out to the emptiness you've endured.

Forget about the "10 years" for now, a lot can happen between now and then. Instead, continue building on what you have now and let it stew like chili. If you both know there's strong chemistry and compatibility (the 2 ingredients essentially to make it work), then be at peace with it without hurried expectations. If it's meant to be, it will blossom in its' time.

The fact that you still love him means you have a fighting chance.

Christians say it because Jesus tells us in John 14:6;

He is our only hope to make it to heaven, as no other name has been given us. He is our model, what a wonderful model He is!!!
He is our connector, our intercessor. Our coverer of our sin through His precious blood.

Answer to:
Why does rich people look down at normal people?
It's a falsehood that's spanned the ages. It is the belief that they are more suited to wealth and control because of their elite philosophies and thus should lord themselves over normal people. What they fail to realize is that we all pull the flusher the same way as I've heard it said before. Alas, the meek, not the wealthy, shall inherit the earth says my Bible!

Does anyone belive that GOD can save a marriage from getting divorced? How long is it to long to wait for GOD to restored a marriage? Do people get back together even though one spouse says that they feel like their might be someone better for them?
Speaking from firsthand experience, the answer is not finding someone "better", because the issues with that person will re-manifest itself in the new relationship in due time. The answer is to let Gods' Word show you snd spouse what needs fixing ( and it will!) and then a liberal amount of time to let the repairs take place. In doing so you're letting God take control of...

We have a God-sized hole in our hearts that only He can fill. When we say No to His occupancy we feel bad as we should. As for acceptance, James 1 tells the believer not to be men-pleasers. Please God and let the rest of the cards fall where they may. When He's shining down on you, people will either embrace you or run like heck. We need you in the faith! :)

In modern marriage, with separate banking, each pays half the mortgage and their own bills, why does the wife always support the children on her own? Arent his kids his financial responsibilty too?
In marriage, He and she are one, this includes the finance. It also fuels the need to be pulling in the same direction. The more responsible person ought to handle it. A male friend told me how it was an issue in his marriage until she pointed out the err, and now they do great. I handle the financial in mine, and works great for us.

In short sentence: Mormons have their own book which they believe was also inspired of God. My Bible tells me otherwise, not to add to or take from and that's what their book does.

Get objective about this. Get out of this psychological web. Your question is pretty vague, but I'd ask "Is where you are and what you're doing" good and decent not just because you think so? Is her lifestyle also good and decent? This is the true measure, and it may offend. Specifics would answer your question more acutely.

The girl im talkin to just got out of a 4year relationship, i want to be with her officially b4 i leave 4 bootcamp in 2 months what should i do i dont want to push her away? Ive known her for 9 years we say were in love and i feel we are
There's still going to be residues from that relationship that might potentially stifle or sting a healthy start with her if you go for it now. Ensure your desire to have this relationship but that you want to make sure the dust settles on the last one. Otherwise you and her may be setting yourselves up for co-dependence, not healthy.

Exercise. Engrain yourself not to be a "people pleaser". If you're not already, be as genuine and male as you were created to be. Don't pattern yourself after guys who don't act respectable. It is about being a gentleman, and the right girl will jump out of her skin to be with you in due time.

Why are men so IMPULSIVE when it comes to women? Shouldn't they be more respectful of her and their own situations?
Not using their brain at the time I assure you that. Because we tend to be more physical-minded we usually put this in first regard. However if there's a woman who's got it going on on the inside, this is really a treasure to behold, and increasingly rare. They are deserving of a great guy too.

Answer to:
Why did feminism have to kill femininity?
Femininity is not gone, it's just no longer publicly portrayed. Feminism is the band-aid for what femininity seeks to be: submissive to males who won't abuse the priveledge of a womans' respect. All else is sociological learned trash bunk that's been fed and regurgitated to be the norm of today.

Answer to:
What are the negative side effects of feminism?
It's own existence is hate-driven and unreconciled. Children who are raised in it will not be well-adjusted because they experience only the womans' side of reality; incomplete. Though a woman has a lot to offer a child, it takes two ( Not a village either!) to examplify the whole.

Asking as the result of an AB convo, do you think it is the responsibilty of women to suffer during sex for her mans pleasure? Should she do whatever he wants, no matter how much it hurts? (really want guys answers on this)
No. Excellent questions by the way. This doesn't build intimacy, it tears it down, or is fearful of it. Upbringing might have a lot to do with how close one is willing to be known. It's probable that it was never been taught what a healthful normal sex life is supposed to look like. Pain? No way.

This is what some would have you believe. I personally wish they would trash all the sexual innuendos on TV, in the stores and in advertising. They also would have you believe that all men are bad, abusive, etc. Look in the media: Do you see any good guy role models? Probably not. There's been a systematic derailing, which has brought us to that which just isn't true.

Is there such a thing as a semi-vegetarian or semi-vegan (someone who's not really into meat, but eats meat on occasion because of the protein and not because they crave for it)?
If this is how your diet really is, it is noteworthy that in the Old Testament, meat consumption took place during festive occasions, but certainly wasn't the norm like it is today. It is OK that you eat meat in small amounts! If I understand correctly ( check me on this) that NO meat might bring you to a certain B deficiency. So please pass the cow!!!! :)

This is a path that will make worse what is already questionable. Stand back. If he is not being totally honest, eventually the truth of the matter will arise, and you may have to make some hard decisions. Conversely, it is quite possible that there is no other intent beyond plutonic communication. If there is any deviousness, it will choose not to be discovered so "calling to...

She needs to stop that other mess and be straight and monogomous with only you. Give her time to adjust and if she doesn't, distance yourself from her emotionally until she desires your real attention more than her sexual escapades with other women. Otherwise break up and look for a lady who hasn't gone this far, who still has the ability to have SHAME.

Be loving and supportive. This is also physiological so it's not you! Morning time is best for him. Mental surely plays a part, but unhorniness may be lack of testosterone regeneration that's suppressed from todays' diet, which is promoting an indifference to the desire for sex.

If everything that exists does so only by the command of God, then the so-called "Devil"--with all his evil deeds--has to be also a creation of this God. So isn't God the perceptual background to absurdity?
No. It is simply a diabolical reality in which we choose to live our life the way God sees fit, or continue in our selfish rebellion, in which we are all guilty as charged. Thank God there is expectation of us. We need love, and need to learn how to love. Selfish rebellion is not hitting on much last time I checked.
Answer to:
If a supreme and perfect being exists-watches and has control over everything happening on the planet, and if humankind is the pinnacle of His/Her creation, why are there plagues, drought, famine, disease, death, homelessness and tsunamies,etc?

My Ex Husband got remarried, his wife has a really good job. Can I take him back to court for more child support??? I just cant make ends meet!! I own my own childcare and with the hard times I am stuggling!
This issue should be solely based on his income. Why should his current wifes' higher income be a factor toward a higher support payment? It's not her repsonsiblity, it's his and yours. Generate a supplemental income, or reduce your expenses.

Isn't saying "God" or "Lord" or "Jesus" every other word in prayer Vain Repetition? Agree or Disagree and why? (ex. Jesus, Lord, thank you Lord for having us here today Lord).
Yes, but if this what it takes for you to commune and pray, He'll take it. But saying His name in between every other word or so does come across as unnecessary, He knows that you know you're praying to just Him so it's established that you don't need to repeat His name over and over again.

This is his problem, and he needs to get right with the promise he made to God and his wife. Be cordial, but firm and matter of fact. Be direct that you're not interested, and wouldn't even tell him "I'm flattered", that's fuel to the fire. Disengage as much as possible.

I've asked my daughter (through letters)to forgive me and that it was completely wrong. It is possible that he too, did not feel close to his parents and so it wasn't modeled to him....this is why we...

Yes, I believe that if Obama gets into office, it will be self-imposed oppression.

If that is your idea as to what it would be like, I beg to differ.Read Revelation 21 and 22. Living in perfection, with God, eternally.

We can only drink from it already established in the Bible.

Truth is not relative, it is rock-friggin solid. It is absolute!

What would you say to a toddler if they ask you what does death means,or what it means when someone dies?
Death is separation. When someone dies, they've been separated from their physical body. At this point, it is then up to God as to what He will do with them. Convey this sincerely.
Answer to:
If God is life, does that mean that the Devil is death? So when someone dies, it's not God's fault but the Devil's?
Death means separation. Because we all will die eventually, all this means is a separation from our physical body. Then it is up to God as to what to do at that point with that person.

It is self-medicating ( wrongfully ), and seeks to indulge in "woe is me", but there is an honest attempt to get some kind of understanding and closure in there as well. It is to numb the heart of a real pain that perhaps no woman can really understand.
Answer to:
My bf always says that our relationship never last and i will eventually break up with him but he gets mad if i say the same thing that maybe we won't last and he says i shouldn't think that way. does this make any sense?
First thing to realize is that words are indeed powerful. Our emotions can also run all over the place, which is not a good thing for the other person who is relying on the other persons emotional stability in the relationship. Try to be the same person day in and day out, and if he's all over the place, he's going to need to get as grip himself. He needs to be a rock, and this means...

How do I reject his request without upsetting him and affect my relationship with him?
If he cares for you he will honor your request. If what he's asking for is not honorable, stand your ground. If he leaves, you'll grow from this.
Answer to:
His reason for asking me to go braless was because he didn't like 'unnatural bouncing'.
When I said no, he'll be very unhappy and won't even say a word to me. He puts me in a spot but I can never live without him though..
I'm a guy and would like to say that if you've been continuing to wear a bra against his trashy wishes, he needs to tuck tail on this, you're in the right. After that, let the cards fall where they may! If he can't accept this, you might seek a better man. Don't succumb to it.

Marriage is a commitment, a promise. There is accountability there. The reprecussions of your thoughts are detrimentally flawed and should not be pursued. Your thinking is communist. Conservatism is true!

I would try to get to the REAL root of the separation first. I don't know if you believe in the Bible or not, but it is this that would put an honest light on the context of your marriage. From the outside looking in , it sounds like your friend is encouraging a "triangle", which never leads to a lasting happiness but vengeance. Closure on whether you're going to work this...

Marriage is for the rest of your life? Agree or Disagree?
Agree, but I can tell you these past 20 years has been extremely, extremely challenging. It is the mightiness of God that keeps the glue in marriage relationships, and not of ourselves.

Answer to:
My parents are going through a divorce and I'm being blamed for all of this mess. Is it really my fault? Who do I tell and what do I tell them?
It is not your fault, unless you've deliberately tried to pit one against the other in some form or fashion, in which case you're in need of strong correction. Otherwise, They were around before you, and thus should work toward a solution within their relationship above and apart from you. Have they considered going to church?
Answer to:
When two people marry, they hope and expect that their relationship will last a lifetime. Why then do relationships fail?
1) Pride

5) lack of crystal clear communication.

I believe in principal first, and that means to break off the other relationship until the marriage is reconciled or done away with. Triangles don't work toward a lasting happy solution. There is probably a root cause for the falling away of love in the marriage that should be called out for what it is, rather than putting a band aid on it and running the other way.

He is not an "advertiser for the political movement", but He is in charge of ALL leaders, good and evil (Romans 13). They themselves will be held accountable to how they've lead their nations. If God doesn't like a leader, He simply pulls their authority away from them and gives it to someone else, isn't that great??

Can atheists suggest a good book for me to read? I am reading The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins as of now. What should I read next? Anything about science or atheism.
The Da Vinci Deception.
I would at least read books from both sides of this fence so you could gain a more appropriate view to satisfy your own palette.

Answer to:
Why christians make mayry the mother of god?
She was chosen by God to give birth to His Son, but it needs to be clearly stated that Mary is not of higher deity than God, any doctrine that suggests this is wrong. Mary was just like you and me except the fact that she was a virgin and that she was chosen.

What's the big deal with people thinking the world will end in 2012?
It's the end of the Mayan calander. Perhaps things will change into something we cannot perceive right now as of yet. How would one define the end anyway?
I trust the Scripture that says : "We know not the day nor hour" If you take this to heart, 2012 as a significant date will lose it's charm.

Answer to:
According to Christian doctrine, Satan was created to unquestioningly obey and worship Yahweh, which is the very definition of slavery, for all of eternity, and Satan rebelled. Why is Satan so strongly criticized for rebelling against this?
We're all created to worship Him. Slavery? I think not. Sin enslaves, He's come to make us free. Why wouldn't he be critisized? He has no truth in him first of all, he doesn't and can't love you, you could never please him if you've ever served him, and he'd like nothing more than to see you die! Gods' perfection and His way is better and more original,...

Answer to:
Why are we not obeying Christianity?
Because we're in the flesh, and pursue the things of the flesh. We have to deny ourself in order to get right with Jesus Christ. He set the example, and our flesh doesn't desire to be taught this because it requires DISCIPLE-ine. Each of us hates to be told what to do. We desperately need to heed His warnings and get ready, get spiritually prepared--it's time.

If i make a promise to God and broke it, (not on purpose) will He forgive me.
Yes He will, He is faithful. He does want you to resist temptation though so that you can be victorious in your walk with him. I suffer from the exact same things you've specified, so I completely resonate with what you're saying. We need to tell the devil NO! He'll leave, but he'll come back.

Can you trust the Bible?
With every fiber of your being you can. If there is only ONE thing you can trust, by far it would be this book. I cannot stress hard enough how solid its' truths are. Perryman, believe it, and tell everthing else to take a back seat. It's God time!
He used imperfect men and women and worked though them to pen His perfect Word. Yes, it IS divinely inspired from Genesis to Revelation....

Answer to:
Why are [certain] feminists so eager to put men in a bad light?
Self-justification. Denial that we really do need each other, not only in romantic relationships but in plutonic ones as well. Perhaps there was a "lack of dad" syndrome, or an abusive male in their life, or none at all. This is sad indeed, and would like to emphasize that there is healing that can be done if they admit the hurt. While we can point fingers at how wronged we've...

Guys:your (educated opinion please) on feminism?
I think it's highly destructive and unnatural to a womans' psyche. In the bigger picture it may be necessary to go through it in order to desire the true things of the heart. Until then I think it ravages plows and destroys that which was once honorable innocent and meek. Women aren't ugly, the effect it has on women is ugly.

What happened to romance? It used to be that if a guy was persistent, the girl might appreciate his interest - now, persistance = restraining order + "I Hate You" video on YouTube?
Romance is still a real word with real meaning, but most have abandoned it's wonderful structure in place of cheap unfulfilling meaningless porn. This has made anything noble and honorable ( having a respectable cherished relationship with romance in the middle of it) virtually null and void.

The truth is that we are moving at breakneck speed toward a system that seeks to enslave you not only in the physical realm, but spiritually more importantly.

What or why was God before this universe existed?

Answer to:
Why would an Atheist spend so much time and energy talking about "God", when they don't believe that "God" exists in the first place?
Sir, with all respect I can tell you, because God had made a hole in your heart that only He can fill. He made it this way from the beginning because He loves you and knows you more than you love and know yourself. He knows everything you've been through, and has deeply felt your pain and distresses throughout your life. He sees you much different than how you see yourself, believe that!...
Answer to:
Does your soul age at the same rate as your body?
Your soul is your psyche. I prefer to look at the soul as your "engine" and your spirit, the "transmission", the intent. I believe only your physical body ages, but the REAL you continues to collect information until you physically die, and even then you still have this information. I don't believe there's an "age" to your soul.

Do you sometimes think Christianity is not real? Because Jesus came to show us the way to His Father. Instead people insist on worshipping Jesus, and no one knows the name of His Father. Christians are content to call His Father, GOD. That's not his name.
What is God truly like? Do we have evidence of His Divine nature? We do. It was an epiphany for me when I realized Jesus' Deity as God incarnate. You still have your freewill, choosing to accept His way of doing things or not. I didn't appreciate it for the longest time. My thoughts and questions were purely stemming from the "self" interest, and not the spirit that God had...

Why are there religious people on AB when the answer to everything is supposedly in the Bible?
The answer to everything IS in the Bible. One needs only to open their heart to understand. The river has always been there, He just asks you to drink if you would just humble yourself. The "prove it" attitude will get you nowhere, because He's accountable to no one.

Answer to:
Back to basics: Is God all powerful? If not, what are his limits? - Is he loving? If so, why did he create a world with (of?) pain?
It started without pain, until sin entered the picture. Work, suffering, loneliness, pain, became necessary as a result of poor decision-making.
Answer to:
What are the worst 2 or 3 things about religion? Please, no abuse, just useful insight.

Girl friend talks to ex bf behind my back when im at work or i go to bed. she text messages him for an hour at a time every day. she told me she would stop a month ago but I just found out she never did. she just said she would stop again,should i belive
Unless you get the sense that this is totally plutonic (no desire other than to be communitive), she's probalby trying to sink the hooks. Since you can't control her actions and likewise with him, I'd lay back a bit. She may feel he's up for grabs since you're no longer dating him.
Answer to:
I have just found out that a "friend" at work has been bitching behind my back but acting all nice to my face should I confront her about it?
Nope. If you know you're an honest hard worker there and she's trying to drag dirt or gossip on you, chances are she's doing it to other people and thus it'll get around what kind of person she really is. Blow it off totally, and when speaking to her speak like nothing is wrong, and I dare say encourage her to be the best at whatever job she has to do there. Let it roll....

It's what's on the inside that truly counts, and is the stuff that makes a relationship last year after year. Hot looks and intelligence ALONE do not contain relationship material, as well as relational ability.

What do you think of girls who have their arm/s tattoed?Do you think they look less femenine that girls who don't?
To each his own, but I find it appalling. I know it's been the craze these past few years for whatever reason, but there is nothing attractive about it. Definitely less-feminine.
Answer to:
Well I am a woman and I want to honestly know the truth if you really are okay with it or who has a problem with it. Can you be honest?
Yes. But to be 100% all the time ma'am, would probably be a lie....because as you may know that none of us are perfect. But there are those of us that DESIRE to be honest 100%, and do try to manifest all the time from the core of their being.

Why is it that Christian girls who are on the thicker side are unattractive?
What benefit would you receive from this question being answered? To the right man, this woman is leaps and bounds more attractive because she has faith in God.

What makes a man lose interest in a woman?
When she either chooses to take on the role of the guy, or the man wakes up to realize this has already happened. In today's gender-confused society, it is important to re-recognize our God-given roles---even if it challenges the "evolutionistic" thinking so popular today.

Am i crazy to marry someone who verbally abuses me everday?
Be willing to work on this if he otherwise has a lot of other good qualities ( not necessarily physically speaking, rather character qualities). If he is humble enough to be teachable, there's hope for this. Perhaps in the meantime, diffuse his negative comments by killing him with kindness, he won't know what to do. Another option is just leave his presence when he gets into it like...

Talk with your husband. And then as best as you can, love this child. Any kid that suffers from a divorce is probably not going to have it all together, and needs the adults to be a rock even though it may be very difficult for the time being. Dad should be very much there for her when he's not working. A natural setting like the woods can do wonders to help with the drama if there's...

Stand outside of the situation mentally. Offer her to take a walk with her, do something nice for a neighbor or friend or famliy member, ask her for help on a school project or recipe in the kitchen, etc. The point here is to get her out of her selfish thinking and this may take a long time, so patience! Stand outside mentally. Her behavior will chew her up into her own demise eventually ( like...

Why do my siblings always put me down?
I am always the first to get put down. I dealt with verbal abuse since I was like 10 years old. Now I am 22 years old.
It is no different from flies hanging around the trash bin. There's some kind of self-esteem rot happening here. This is not to say you're a trash bin, but that there's something magnetic on the inside that invites this. I know, because I've dealt with this greatly in my life. Words indeed hurt. I'll tell you though, that if those words do not correspond with the Bible...
