Does God Hate Divorce

This is my first post, but I must mention that God hates the ACT of divorce, not people in general.If you know of a spouse who has been abusive or committed adultery then rest assured repentance is their only safe course of action because they will reap what they have sown.I know great Christian men and women who been victimized in marriages and left broken and wounded.Their only course of action was to get out of the relationship.God does not hate them.Each case is unique and must be handled with prayerful consideration.I think we see more and more of folks who use divorce as a first course of action instead of trying to working it out and making sure Jesus is still at the center of their marriage.

My Girlfriend Isn't A Virgin
	You knew she wasn't a virgin before you ever decided for her to be your girlfriend. Did you ask her so you could lord it over her head? You have to ask yourself - if God said by way no means shall anything harm me, why do I feel hurt now? Could it be that I am not mature enough to accept the responsibility to be in a relationship like this yet?

Once Saved Always Saved

I believe this phrase came from those who thought they could believe and still do what they were doing as a sinner. But the truth of the matter is Paul spoke about this in Romans where he said that when he felt like doing wrong he had to force himself to do right so it would be acceptable in the eyes of God. God said that you would have to be hot or cold or He would spew you out of His mouth. That doesn't sound like all you have to do is believe and live any sort of way you please.

Diagnosed With Depression Illness

Even devoted Christians get depressed. Look at Job, Jonah, David, and Solomon. What they didn't know that we do is when we operate in love it conquers all and depression can be defeated. What are you believing? The bad report of the doctor or that Jesus came to heal the broken hearted? Serotonin is a hormone that determines what we feel like. When our diets are more conducive to green vegetables and we have done some cardio, serotonin is produced. When we praise God, serotonin is produced.

Speaking In Tongues Fake
	Speaking in tongues is in the Word of God. How can it be fake? The thing about speaking in tongues is even if it is the evidence of the Holy Spirit, the true test is seeing the fruit that the particular Christian bares. If the Christian is devoted than you will see the the evidence in love, faith, peace, joy and the other fruit written in Galatians.

My Husband Is Out Drinking

You do know that the effectual, fervent prayers of a righteous man availeth much? So how long do you pray for him? There is nothing you can do to change him but there are plenty of ways you can change yourself. Go overboardlove. It will feel like chewing sandpaper at first, but the more you do it the easier it will be and he will notice. Love conquers all and love never fails. It works! Just pray first, then do!Cast it all of your cares on the Lord because He cares for you. You can do this!

Should I File For Divorce

God hates divorce. I would ask him why he hasn't filed for divorce if he says that he no longer loves you. I would also ask if he is with anyone else. If he is, then there is no problem in getting the divorce because it is because fornication that we would be free to divorce and be able to remarry. If he is a Christian, he knows this and is waiting for you to make the first move. Pray, if you would rather keep it together. But God says if he decides to leave, let him go.

Ears Pierced And Braided Hair

I know that scripture says about a man having long hair in the New Testament and that it means that he used it in place of God. His head should not be covered with anything including excessive hair. As for the ear piercing, in the Old Testament it was used to mark the Hebrews who refused to be free. Not being slaves now, what would the ear piercing indicate but being a slave to fashion. Jesus gave me liberty and I wouldn't like any kind of symbol indicating otherwise.

Do You Walk The Walk
	I walk the walk; it isn't profitable any other kind of way. As far as other people, though there is nothing we can do to change any flaws we may see, there is prayer. And there is also one way of knowing how to spot a fake. We know the tree by the fruit it bares. If the tree has no fruit, you know he/she is a fake. Remember the fruit of the Holy Spirit is key.

Christian Teaching On Dating
	I am writing as fast as I can. I need a publisher. I wrote two books for the mature Christian dating woman and man. The moment the hit the presses, I will be on this site to make the announcement - in the name of Jesus!

Can I Marry A Non-Believer
	Scriptures state for us not to be yoked with the unbeliever. Some think as long as they both believe in Jesus Christ than that's sufficient. On the contrary, both can believe in Jesus but what about all of the other scriptures. Some may think that its alright to drink because it is for the stomach's sake while the other says to abstain from strong drink. Believers believe the same thing.

Marry A Man You Don't Like
	What do you mean no love? Isn't it the whole point? If you don't love the man then how can you say you love God? You see this man and don't love him? But you don't see God and profess to love Him? Leave the man alone and don't ruin his life. You have other issues to fix.

I Hate My Husband

Hello, I couldn't help to reply to a message that seemed to be so heart felt. I know what you are feeling and based on the Word it may not feel like something you would like to do at first, but know that it does work. You have to consider that all you say and do as seeds. Those seeds will spring forth a harvest. What would you like to have in return? aharvest of contempt and hate or one of love, joy, and peace? If you sow it, the harvest will come.
