Son Wanting To Grow His Hair Long
|
| |
Remember that your son's salvation and where he will spend eternity that is what us parents should be concerned about. I have 3 sons who also have long hair but they love the Lord Jesus Christ and they know where they will spend eternity. As far as what Paul talk to the Corinthians about, there was more going on in Cornith then just men and women and there hair, he didn't want them (the disciples) to be mistaken for the pagan prostitutes, even though the churches of God did not have such customs, now that they are in Christ. I just had this conversation with a sister in the Lord, Read up on the History of the times in the letters of Paul, see what the pagan practices were in that time and the false doctrine he had to battle with.

Son Wanting To Grow His Hair Long

2 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature, because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth, for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart." I know God was talking to Samuel about anointing the King of God chose, which was David and not his brothers. I believe that this is how God see us all. Your son's soul is the most important thing and if he has given his heart to Jesus and repented from his sin turned from those sin and believes in the Name of Jesus Christ, he will be saved. I would not be concerned about the hair, but what he is influenced by things of God or things in this world. |

Do Animals Go To Heaven
|
| |
Dear Mic,you need to re-read Genesis very carefully.It never ever said that animals were created only for our use and as FOOD.On the contrary the animals had plants to eat and we had the fruit of the trees,it was not til the fall of mankind,when men had to labor to get their food,that animals were permitted to be eaten because of a fallen state.It was not such in the beginning and I assume it will not be in eternity either.Again Mic,you are wrong... |

Do Unborn Babies Go To Hell
|
| |
The Bible tells us that Our God is a Just God and loving Father.He would not send the souls of unborn babes to hell just like that.I have heard 2 theories.First,all babies,born and unborn go to heaven.I tend to lean toward this theory.The other is that God knows the future and would know if that child would have accepted Him if He had lived.He knows the heart,and would be judged accordingly.Let us also remember though that the Bible states that a child is made holy thru a believing(Christian)parent.Seems likely most and probably all babes go straight to heaven,but as on many topics,the Bible does not directly speak on the topic. |

Trick Or Treat On Halloween
|
| |
The occultic aspects of Halloween are evil.Dressing as Devils and witches are not appropriate.However,in the Church,Halloween was All Hallows Eve,preceding all saints day and all souls day.It was meant to remember the dead and the saints in Heaven.Many Christian churches now celebrate the Harvest Festival in place of Halloween to attempt to escape the occultic ties often associated with this Holiday without depriving Children of having fun and dressing up and getting all the goodies they look forward to each year.I mainly take my kids to Churches having Harvest Festivals,but sometimes my kids will collect candy door to door,give out Bible tracts,and say thank you and God bless you to each neighbor they visit.Glorify God whenever you can. |

Do Animals Go To Heaven
|

Mic,not one of my past blogs have you refuted.Not one scripture to back up your opinion.Noone is saying the souls and spirits of animals are the SAME as mankinds,but they do have a soul and spirit,which is Biblical if one does a word study.Originally death was never supposed to be in the Garden,Adam and Eve were meant to live forever as well as their animal "friends".God will renew the earth and return things to its original heavenly state.There will be "eternal"animals.Can they be the ones we had?No 100% guarantee,but studying the character and love of God and his past convenants with animals,one would surmise that this possiblility is most likely-esp if we ask and desire it. |

Does Purgatory Exist
|
| |
The closest thing to Purgatory in the Old Testament is the Bosom of Abraham,for the faithful dead before Christ.In a connected,though separate realm,was the hellish part of Hades.RCC took the idea of the Bosom of Abraham and came up with the doctrine of Purgatory,partly based on this and partly based on the idea that we can pray for the dead,as stated,I believe in Maccabees,an ancient book not accepted as Scripture by all Christians. |

Jesus Born On December 25th
|
| |
I agree with you Matt,that Jesus could have been conceived in December.But that would make his birthday around September,not August.Or if counting a lunar month,even October.The actual date of the 25th coincided with a pagan holiday,and the church attempted to get people's minds off the pagan holiday and give them something good and wonderful to celebrate instead.Thus,our current Christmas season,and Dec.25th as the birthdate. |

Ghosts Of The Dead
|
| |
Oh,I know there are "ghosts"meaning spirits.I know there are demonic ones and even human ones.The once human ghosts are with God or the unsaved waiting judgement.What I wonder is,could on occasion these ghosts of humans,be summoned or have some unfinished business so that they did not pass over.Remember Saul and Samuel.That was at least one exception to the rule.Television is full of stories of long gone "loved ones" coming back and helping them in time of need?Would demon spirits do good? |

Former Husbands Kids
|

One last thing,before someone says that i should take him to court and make him pay childsupport,let me tell you why I have not.Blackmail!!! My ex hung out with very unsavory types,druggies,and other types of people I would not want my children around--not Christians.He threatened that if I forced him to pay child support,he would make sure he got them on the weekends and take them to places I would deem unsafe to worry me literally out of my mind.I really believe he would out of spite.No money in the world would be enough to make me go thru the torture he would put me through.So he gets a free ticket.But he is a "Christian".My babygirl wants him in her life,so i need to bribe him to come over??what else can i do? |

Are Catholics Christians
|
| |
Let me blow your mind.I believe the body of Christ will include people of all "Christian"denominations--various Protestants,i.e.Baptists,Pentecostals,Lutherans,Adventists,Episcopalians,Apostolic,Charismatic,Non-Denominational and "Catholic"Greek Orthodox,and even Roman Catholic.In fact maybe a remnant from even the so-called cults,Jehovah Witness for example.God sees the heart of a person.If they believe that Jesus died for their sins,and call upon the name of the Lord,I do not believe God will reject a heart felt earnest plea,just because some of their theology may be a little off balance.Jesus knows who really loves him and who desires to do right. |

betty and bill,let me tell you more of the situation.I attempt to encourage him to see the children as the oldest,my 12 yr.old really is hurt and misses having a dad.He says he is Christian.He has started another family,has two other children from new wife.He will not pay child support.He makes excuses not to come visit them.He doesnt give them birthday or Christmas presents,unless I go to new wife and give her kid a present first.Since he has had his last child--8 months old--finally a boy,he barely even calls them anymore. |

Confess Adultery To Husband
|
| |
I truly believe that you should ask the Holy Spirit whether you should when and how because he know everything. Timming is very important. If you do so you will have to make your mind up before hand to trust totally and comppletely in Christ, his word, will and His way. It will be very difficult at times because the enemy hates truth and honesty he loves for people to live in lies and cover up which normally leaves the door open to possibly fall again or never really change. A relationship with God must always be first in our lives. He will not lead you wrong. However, there are always consequences when we sin or have sinned. It is not going to be easy rate away. But continue to trust God. He will take you through. God Bless |

Is Your Husband A Christian
|
| |
My husband said he was. However after several years of marriage he decided he did not want to be married anymore. He claimed that my 2 children and myself were a burden and too expensive. We had to leave and he found a new girlfriend. I guess people can say all they want. Proof is in the pudding! Judy9937 |

My Husband Is Continually Angery
|
| |
My first suggestion is to pray for him. However, there are other things that can be done as well. If you belong to a church seek christian counseling and ask your husband to go with you. If he won't go, I suggest you go without him. If you don't belong to a church, it would be beneficial in many ways for you and your family to go (even if he won't go). |

Pro-Choice And Still A Christian
|
| |
Love is not love if it is forced.This is so true.God gave us the freewill to love or reject him.That does not mean we should condone the free choice of premeditated murder of unborn babies.Yes,we have free choice to sin.And we have free choice to burn in hell too.Jesus Christ would never be "pro-choice"pr0-murder. |

Was Hagar A Ligitimate Wife
|
| |
Polygamy was perfectly acceptable in the Old Testament.It may not have been God's original plan(one Adam and one Eve)but it served a purpose of replenishing and multiplying the human race,and nowhere did it hint of being a sin.Question is,did the NT nullify it?that is what I am wondering. |

Should We Mourn For Sinners
|
| |
it is the Christian way to give comfort to those who need it,if we are to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit.There is no statute of limitations.Pray for your friend if they are not saved to come to God.As for the deceased,can we say for certainty that as they breathed their last breathe,they didnot cry out for forgiveness?We cannot judge,only love. |
