Why Do Women Want Money
	because women like to shop and buy nice stuff.

Righteousness Apart From Christ
	No, even our righteousness (good works) is as filthy rags unto the Lord. We need a righteousness apart from ourself, an imputed righteousness given to us by the Holy Spirit.

Does Predestination Teach Love

Trey seems to know the Word. My salvation came about by God opening my heart. Like Lydia in Acts 16:14 and the conversion of Saul on the Damascus Road. I was on a desert road, in a truck and I truly felt the power of the Holy Spirit come upon me and I have never been the same since. Not that my life is perfect, but I do live my life toward Jesus Christ and I thank Him a lot that I know Him. The doctrine of predestination and election is sometimes difficult to understand, but I believe it, because the bible teaches it and that's where my gift of faith comes in.

Does Predestination Teach Love
	1Peter 2:8 says people stumble over the stone which represents Christ, disobedient to the Word, to which they were appointed. But the true church is a chosen people, generation, etc. called out of darkness (verse 9) into the light of Christ. We are (the church) like Isaac children of promise. Galatians 4:28 The promise of God to redeem His people throughout the whole world.

I Am Angry All The Time
	Pray to the Lord daily and let Him live His life thru you, it's a daily walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. Ask the Lord to maybe connect you with a nice group of Christian people you can share with and don't feel to bad if you slip up. I think it's a daily thing of turning to the Lord when you feel anger.

Does Predestination Teach Love
	predestination teaches that God is sovereign and we are not, He has special love for His people (the church). Adam fell and we are dead in Adam, we need new life in Christ by being born again of the Holy Spirit. He can be and is a God of love, but also a God of Holy wrath and righteous judgement.

Jews Really God's Chosen
	yes, it's not through DNA that we are the people of God, but by belief in Christ (faith) that we are His people. So we are the children of Abraham if we are true believers. God chose the nation Israel to start the work of redemption for His people even though not everyone was a believer in the nation of Israel.

TULIP Biblical Or Not
	Amen Mark, thats where our faith comes in, to trust in the One who knows all things and in His forever Word.

Saved From Law Or Sin
	I believe Christ came to save us from the wrath of God. The wrath of God was put on Christ, He took all our sins, that we might not have to suffer the eternal wrath of God. Romans 1:18

TULIP Biblical Or Not
	There are none (no one) that seeks after God. Romans 3:11 But I have a great hope, because I know One who can change peoples lives and make the dead become alive in Christ and give His people an inheritance that can never fade. 1 Peter 1:3

TULIP Biblical Or Not
	a dead person has no free will and cannot choose, unless he or she is made alive in Christ (regeneration) by the Holy Spirit

What Is The New Covenant
	The new covenant is of total grace, where man is enabled to meet the terms of that covenant (salvation) only by the regenerating and sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, God works in man both to will and to do, graciously bestowing upon him all that God requires of him.

Only Way To Baptize
	No, you can baptize by sprinkling,pouring or immersion, it's a sign of cleansing and the promise of new life in Christ.

Wear Pants And Earrings

Ok, it says nowhere that you cannot wear pants. Dueteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. It doesn't say jack about pants. It says don't cross dress. Believe me, it is possible to be saved in the holy spirit and not have to be confined to skirts all the time, regardless of what some old-testament fanatics will have you think.

Is All Pride Bad
	Before I was with Jesus I had no pride or self esteem..since I've followed the Lord I am happy and proude,,so I would say it's good to have Pride

Strangest Thing In Church
	Sounds like from what you said about the pastor. She was doing the right thing to leave this church.
