Rigidity is more akin to obstinacy and habit rather than reasonable principle.

Heaven is the place of eternal bliss. Hell is expulsion from the presence and grace of holy God. Heaven is basking in the eternal presence of holy God. The distinctions are as sharp as black and white. Please consider the...

I follow Christian morals, but don't go to church or pray, is there still possibility of some sort of happy and fufilled afterlife for me? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9950807 I am essentially a good person, I am sometimes selfish, and often forgetful, but I work hard and always try my best. I follow Christian morals, but don't go to church or pray, is there still possibility of some sort of happy and fufilled afterlife for me?<br /><br />Through faith in Christ and His righteousness alone are you assured of eternal fellowship with God. Your daily ups-and-downs are not the basis for your salvation, lest God give and take your salvation based on your performance. The Scripture is clear that none of us can fulfill His law perfectly...

Man was not meant to be alone and woman needs a man to help. Love in a committed relationship does bring fulfillment that no other venue can. God intended and designed us to be...

You did not create the universe. 2. You can not raise the dead. 3. You are not omniscient (all-knowing). 4. You are in one place at one time (you are not omni-present). 5.

How does it show? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9950584 Is there a grain of greed left in you? How does it show?<br /><br />Absolutely. As I am not rich, nor do I feel that I have sufficient resources, I am tempted to desire (perhaps even grab at) opportunities that promise to increase my resources. Feeling that I have inadequate resources-- for I am not always as grateful for God's provisions as I ought to be-- is a...

It invites what some might be willing to share with you, but again, the tone reveals a predisposition to scorn. It's like asking a question for which you do not want an answer. Why should... Mon, 29 Nov 2010 11:37:41 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9950493 Answer to Why do religious fanatics attempt to convert others to their own set of beliefs? (Other than intolerance) http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9950445 Why do religious fanatics attempt to convert others to their own set of beliefs? (Other than intolerance)<br /><br />Atheists do the same but under the banner of "tolerance" (which it is not). Atheists are trying to rid the public discourse of references to God. Is that not intolerance toward those of us who are theistic? Is that not an attempt to convert, perhaps those who are uncertain of their own theistic...

In any religion (or in atheism), an overzealous person or movement can become belligerent toward other groups. However, fundamentalism itself, to the point of making exclusive claims (i.e., demonstrating...

It is a choice employed by fallen humanity. To assert that people are born homosexual is to assert that God creates homosexualism in His creatures. That would be blasphemy against God.

When you have to struggle or "work hard" to maintain a relationship,isn't something wrong?<br /><br />Incorrect premise. Relationships are NEVER trouble-free if they are real. Casual acquaintances with nothing invested in each other have no troubles with each other. Anything more intimate than passers-by will inevitably have troubles.

We each desire to reproduce in others what is significant to ourselves. Being "missionaries" is not an abnormal thing for the believer or the non-believer.

I meet many in the city where I work, but this allows me to reach out across the country and even the globe to speak directly to people about issues that they are speaking about.

It is a logical contradiction to be and not be in the same sense. The key is the same sense. For example, you can be a man and not a man, but not in the same sense. You are a man (human, anthropologically), but may not be a man (an adult male).

It really depends on the circumstances that led to either outcome.
