Does God Forgive Sin
	GOD is all-forgiving, so I believe, However, one must have true faith, and learn from that mistake, and ask for forgiveness, and face what ever circumstances that may come of the inapproprate action that one selfishly has taken............

Do Muslims Worship Same God
	I'd suggest you aquaint yourself with what the Koran teaches about the God they belive in and then compare that to what the bible says about God. The only conclusion I can come to is they are not the same.

Genesis Account Mythological
	There is an excelletn magazine called 'Answers in Genesis'. Also check out John McKay. Christian scientists who look at creation from a scientific viewpoint. Makes a lot more sense than evolution I can tell you.

Divorce My Muslim Husband

Dear Susie, A muslim man can marry a christian lady and she is considered to be Islamic by virtue of the marriage - so from his perspective you are subject to Islam(I think his mistreatment of you follows from this). He is also permitted to have 4 wives. Muslims often get around monogamy by not declaring their other wives (in Australia we have situations where the 'non-legal' wives may collect unemployment benefits to raise their children which are considered to be outside of wedlock, i.e single mothers who never married). If you are his first wife, you are legitimately married in the Lord's eyes (though you are definitely unevenly yoked , as others on here have said). I think prayer must be your first recourse in this matter.

Seeker Friendly Churches Biblical

"Are seeker friendly churches Biblical" - form the perspective of the 'falling away' mentioned in scripture , they are. However, they are not the church of true believers, though true believers , for better or for worse, may be attending them. I've decided I don't want to be a part of this anymore - so now I attend a home fellowship of like minded christians. Should the Lord lead me to a regular church thay lifts up him and his word I'll gladly attend - but till then, I want to be on the straight and narrow path.

Affair With A Church Woman
	I agree with Randy - I wish I had run from a woman, like Joseph (I am single, and she was divorced), but I succumbed. Repent of your sin, and yes, break it off cold turkey - but be warned - she probably won't accept you doing that without trying to keep involving you, so remain steadfast and don't contact her or allow her to contact you.

Hookers For Jesus Marries
	He forgave you and I , didn't he. Remember, he said he came for sinners, not for the perfect. If you're perfect, then you don't need Jesus. Often our biggest problem is we don't understand the state of our own sinfulness. The bible however, is a mirror to our soul and shows us all for the depraved people we are by nature - there is NO righteousness (right standing with God) outside of Christ.

Divorce My Muslim Husband

I'm not sure , firstly, if you are a christian believer, but regardless, how I understand the bible, you get one shot at marriage. Yes, you can divorce (though I don't believe divorcing frees you up to remarry - just bare that in mind) if your spouse is unfaithful, but understand also that God hates divorce, and despite Israel's disobedience, he never divorced his people, but sought to lead them back to himself. If, however, your husband is physically abusive, separating fro m him makes sense - use that time of separation to pray for his salvation, and see what God does.

Is Male Companionship Cheating
	It's not ok to do this. Just as it's not OK for your husband to be doing this. He is already , at least on the emotional level, being unfaithful to you. You need to pray for him, and be honest before God and yourself as to why he is seeking out alternative companionship, and then prayerfully rectify those problems.

Christians Play Secular Music

Secular music is ok... i can say that we could reach out to the culture, or even the market place through secular song that sends out messages of love, peace, hope, faith....so on....Remember God created music and songs that also touches our soul, even hard metal...if you only listen to christian or gospel songs, you are being too religious....thing of it this way...one of your friend have lost someone dear, you could use secular songs of love and strength to comfort him...this is what God want us to do, TO REACH OUT to the lost....so don't throw away all your secular music thinking that is is WORLD and is demonic, if you think this way...YOU are the one who is demonic.

120 In The Upper Room

The antecedent for "they were" - "esan" is in the preceding verse "ton hendeka apostolon" - the eleven apostles and I can't see the Greek text referring to the 120 at all. However that is not to say that the 120 were excluded from being baptised in the Holy Spirit. It may well have been a case of the Holy Spirit falling upon the apostles first before the Holy Spirit began to flow through the apostles to touch the remaining 109 of the crowd. Also looking closer at the Greek text, it does not appear that the eleven were in the "upper room" when the event of Pentecost took place.

Who is Myles Munroe?

Rob,Jesus died on the cross. So did those two thieves. So did apostle Peter. Many people (believers and unbelievers) were crucified. Before Jesus there was crucifixion and after Jesus there was crucifixion. It was the form of execution in those days. If Kenneth Copeland was crucified for following Jesus he would become a martyr like many others. You have to understand that God works through obedient men. Jesus became a man and was obedient to God. God does not force himself on us. We make a choice. If God did not require us to obey He would have nuked this earth. He would have destroyed Satan and would have erased him from everyones memory and He can do it. So the question is why does He not do it and stop all this suffering?

Metal Music Good As A Christian

My friend, let me recommend some music for you. For a more old school sound, Stryper, Tourniquet, and Vengeance to name a few. Sleeping Giant, The Devil Wears Prada, As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red, Impending Doom, The Red Baron, and My Children My Bride are examples of Christian hardcore and metal. It's not about the sound, but the message. A lions roar may be frightening, but sometimes God speaks with not just a whisper, but with a shout.

Who is Myles Munroe?

Jesus was accused as a false teacher. Myles does not preach anything that goes against the Word. He leads us to discover our real identity as children of God. Jesus did not come to start the christian religion. He came to establish a Kingdom. Unfortunately Christianity has been made a religion. Anything that draws a man closer to God is of God. Those who bring light will be accused by those who love darkness. The dark ages are not completely over. We have modern day pharisees in the church. If one is truly seeking God they will find Him...and He is not religious....

Did Jesus Have Long Hair

For sure most of the early centuries pictures, by man imgination, was long. Why? From eye witness word of mouth, to generation by generation. Most of the time Jesus was against any human law, so if was a shame have it long, for sure Jesus will checkout this scripture: -He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him- Isaiah 53 A prophecy that would describes very well the Messiah, is more possible Jesus wearing long than cut/trim hair

Have You Seen A Demon
	Yes and i have no clue if it was a demon or evil sprit of some kind its has been coming to my door way at night and watching me im 21 years old and i have told my parets but they do not belive me if you would like to send me in the right direction

Is TBN A Godly TV Station
	Though there is fakes out there in the world. There is also good preachers too. God said in the last days that before Jesus comes very one on the face of the earth would know of Jesus Christ if there was not tv preachers how would this be possible? It takes money to do these things
