How Can I Save My Marriage

My wife (12 yrs + 2 sons)left me 2 mos. ago. 3 thoughts:put God 1st in your marriage. Read THE POWER OF PRAYER TO CHANGE YOUR MARRIAGE by:Stormie Omartian Learn how to pray THROUGH your problems, not ABOUT them.I am going through Elijah House Prayer Ministry (Google 4 info.) It is an emotional and spiritual awakening. If u can't find this, use ANY CHRISTIAN COUNSELING. "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Phil. 4:13 If I knew this 6 mos. ago my marriage would have been so much better. I pray 1 person can read this and saves their marriage, so they do not have to go through the pain and suffering that we are. May the Lord bless all marriages, and may He find you when and where you need Him most. In Jesus name, AMEN

Can We Eat Pork

I have been questioning the same things. I have been eating as close to kosher as I possibly can, and I feel great. I have broken the pork rule (myone big strict one) a couple times and felt gross and Seperated From His Presence, just as I had when I had fallen into temptation a couple times since accepting Jesus. No one can judge except YHWH. However, do what the Holy Spirit is convicting you, personally, to dO! ANd think about that story when Jesus casts those demons into the pigs that drown themselves! I feel that when I eat pork now!

Half Of Population Raptured

This parable is talking about when Christ's comes again. It is a contrast to what happened in the days of Noah right before the flood. Nowhere in the Bible is the issue of rapture ever mentioned. This is a false belief. When Christ comes the second all will go before the judgment for the world will have been burned up. Those that are dead in Christ will be called up first and everyone else will meet them in the air. Everyone will go to judgment at the same time. Again I say that scripture never mentions rapture.

New Testament Nonsense
	We need to read and understand both the Old and New Testament. The Bible is the simplest book every written. All we have to do is do what it says. Hear, Believe, Repent, Confess, and be Baptized and our sins will be forgiven. But we must also remain faithful until death.

Cause Of Economic Crisis
	Certainly. It's indicative of that relationship with God, and a lot of other things. But, simply enough, it all adds up to one explanation: the fallenness of the world and the inability of man to "fix it."

Are Skin Colors Evolution

Carla, can we be reasonable here? Science is a TOOL. It can be used or abused. True scientific inquiry will never lead us away from God. Many of the greatest scientists were Christians. And they stood against religious authorities in defense of BOTH the Bible and scientific truth. The real danger today is that science is being hijacked for political purposes, in the same way that Hitler propagandized science and education in his country. Karl Marx said religion is the opiate of the masses, but I say that seperation of science and state is where we really need to be. Not subsidizing charlatan psuedo-sciences with government welfare.

Genesis Account Mythological
	Warwick, The two accounts of creation in the first two chapters contradict one another. It's not opinion. It's fact. They contradict one another.

Are Skin Colors Evolution

Words like "Big Bang" and "evolution" have caused a big and needless artificial breach between science and religion. "Evolution" itself describes observations in life, extrapolated to theories of ultimate origin. The problem is how imagination goes from the reality of variation to the idea that "lizards turn into birds." "Big Bang" refers to a body of observations and evidence about the cosmos that leads to speculation about how the universe began. There is no doubt the evidence exists that the universe began. It's a question of how we interpret the evidence. Einstein knew what he had uncovered - the proof of the ages.

What Is Hate Speech
	"Hate Speech" is whatever the leftists decide it is, at any given time. Determined by factors like political usefulness, relative power of the speaker to influencing opinion against the left, poll numbers, the level of protestation of the targeted group or individual. You know, phony stuff like that.

Genesis Account Mythological

Don't worry about it. This argument has been going on for ages and ages. Anyone who believes that is mistaken in that belief. It's a silly assertion anyway. There are five million different versions of what Genesis says, bandied about amongst theologians. Which version has been supposedly disproven by science? There isn't anything to even question other than the fact that the two chronologies don't match exactly. Well... noone writes a story that is full of contradictions on purpose unless they deliberately want the scenario to be disbelieved. There is more to the Genesis story than the literal. More than we know.

Are Skin Colors Evolution

Skin color is determined by interbreeding within a narrow pool of mates. So skin color is an adaptation that strengthens as a nation continues to interbreed. Noah and his family were the last survivors BUT they carried all the genes of humanity past within themselves. My sincere belief is that the people of India are probably the most representative of what people started out looking like. They have dark skin, but caucasoid features. Who knows? Just a guess. There's a lot about genetics still to be determined. Consider that alcoholism runs in families, and so does obesity. I believe the propensity for characteristics increases steadily through generations as it is "built up" behaviouraly in successive generations.

Where Are The Seven Hills

it appears to me that Mecca is the woman whom the scarlet beast carries. you can google it, just type "Mecca Seven Mountains". Check out what you find. Mecca sits and is surrounded around seven mountains. She persecutes the saints. Today in Saudi Arabia: Five kings have fallen and one is. Mecca's port is the richest city in the middle east and western asia. the list goes on and on. just Google it!

Church Through Tribulation

It will be a terrible time the Faithful ones. and in order for the Faithful ones to be approved by God, they will have to be prepared to be beheaded. (Rev. 20:4-11) Having said that, the Faithful ones are not the Church. The Church, as the bride of Christ, will not go through the Tribulation, but caught up right before this Time. The Tribulation time is meant for Israel people, or otherwise known as the Time of Jacob's Trouble. (Jeremiah 30:7: Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.) And the the last week of Daniel's 70 weeks (Daniel 9:20-27:)

Persecution In America

Yes because Christians have failed to be salt and light in this country and have failed to utilize the god-given freedoms of speech, press and citizen involvement in order to face down and influence the godless culture. Instead of building multi-million dollar facilities and ministries, Christians should have set about DECADES AGO creating alternative voices to the secular filth that floods every aspect of our society today. But, they didn't and probably couldn't, because Christianity in America is anemic and weak and divided. The coming judgement of America will include the church. But out of it will come a refined and spiritually alive church, and out of it will be cast the dross and the chaff, in preparation for the coming final showdown.

Techniques For Spanking Your Kids
	Well I am a kid and my parents make me get over their kneee then they give me 10 swats with a paddle then they swat my hinny 10 more times with their hand on my bare-bottom ouchhh. It's never done out of hate they are just showing me they love and I learn alot from a sore red bottom I am remindedd not to do what I did again when I sit on my bottom after I get a spanking.

Ear Piercing Bible Scriptures

Hi, I am currently 18 and the ear piercing deal has been a big topic in our family for the past month or so. My parents both strongly disagree on the subject and when me and my brother ask why they say that earrings are only for girls and that it symbolizes femininity in a male of he has piercings. I talked to my mother today and she said i had to obey her because she was my parent and I am her child. I find their reasons completely unreasonable. Its not about being rebellious i just want to try and see whether or not it looks good on me or not. And on another note if piercings are considered bad why is smoking accepted?

Alcohol Rehab Treatments

To help someone who suffers from alcoholism is to showing love to that person (I CORINTHIAN 13:4-8.)Try to communicate what he or she is trying to say in his or her deepest emotion and what makes him or her start this drinking alcohol especially his or her family background. Once you have seen and diagnose his or her background show that person the LOVE OF GOD in his or her life inspite of his or her failure or sin GOD still loves him or her higher than the heaven and deepers than the ocean.

Reinhard Bonnke Evangelism
	Andrea, before you can even consider taking an online course in evangelism, I really think you need to first take a course in humility. Without first taking this one, I think even the course in evangelism won't help you much. In my few years of experience as an evangelist, I have discovered that God doesn't deal with Avangelists of the Pharisees mode, and I used to be one of them.
