Do Guardian Angels Exist

Do you not know that you are protected at night as your sleep from demonic forces that would love the opportunity to slay you where you lie? God allows bad things to happen to draw us closer to Him as a person or as a nation. If theres no trial or hurt, theres no need for help or healing. When we need those things we can turn to the Lord for them. God is good. Man is not. We arent puppets on strings. "I want God to control the actions of OTHER people so they dont cause hurt, but not mine." Simply childish thinking. You cant expect only good things to happen in such an evil world full of evil men. If we had all listened to God there would be no pain in this world to begin with.

Is God Cruel And Mean
	The torture referred to in the scripture noted is the terrible disappointment of being eternally separated from your creator who loves you more than you can possibly imagine. Because you do not accept Christ and His love for you, He will not force you to accept His love.

Metal Music Good As A Christian

The biggest conflict you see here is that the Christian word is to be taken seriously yet with the "flashy", loud sound of rock/metal...some Christians see the message being twisted into more entertainment rather than serious, spiritual reflection. Some Christian pastors refer to the "giving pearls to the pigs" Bible passage in which they thought they those bands were making a serious message into a entertainment show and not valuing it. Other Christians, say its no different than other genres of Christian music. Thus, its about how you are recieving the music. Are you really thinking about spirituality as you are "rocking out"? This is where the answers vary within the Christian community...

Benny Hinn And RT Kendall

Yes. People are deceived about what God teaches. God teaches that we MUST judge(discern).. but God teaches us how to judge using his judgements.These men are raping and pillaging our churches and getting away with it. Annanias and Sapphira were struck down dead by the word of God given to Peter the apostle. God is righteous and will repay men like Benny Hinn, RT Kendall and Maurice Cerellos for the evil they have done and are doing. As far as praying the apostle says that there is a sin we must not pray about. Do not pray for people who have committed the unforgiveable sin of the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

Ministry Or Family First In Life

A spiritual father (can't recall name) said, "If you are conscious of praying, you'r not really praying." He viewed prayer as a way of life where we are appreciative of our God consciousness. I believe we will know God is first in our life when our priorities and realtionships reflect our God consciousness is present. At times we are not consciously thinking "God first", those around us will be touched by our love for and devotion to God--they will see his Spirit permeating our entire being.

Witness To A Jehovah Witness

I think the JW's are doing whats right because if you look at all the evidence thats been popping up and the findings that they have in museums, its obvious that they are teaching from the orginal bible, its just translated into a more understandable form. If people opened up their bible and began to read it. The meaning of the scripture is identical to their bible its just that the wording in your personal bible is different. God does have name and it is jehovah. Lets say you had a friend and you were going to be friends for a very long time. Wouldnt you want to know that persons name? "Lord and God" are only titles.

Is Satan The Cause Of Sickness
	Sickness is the result of the Fall. Ever since then, nothing works right in the entire physical universe. It could be argued that Satan is the ultimate cause of sickness because of this, but it's prideful to think you mean so much to him that he would want to make you sick.

Husband Has A Girl Friend
	Ask the Lord to help you look deeply at yourself to see what you can improve to become the woman your husband will again love and want. In such cases, there is usually fault on both sides. My dad left my mother for another woman, but if she had been the right kind of wife, he would not have been tempted to look elsewhere.

Mormons And Joseph Smith

Jim and Sally, You are pushing the deceptive Satan thing to the limits. If Satan has been busy with all the things Christians say, he has accomplished more then God has here on earth. Fake fossils, fake dinosaur bones, fake ice ages, fake cavemen bones, fake dead sea scrolls, fake gods, fake religions, fake holy books, fake prophets, causes storms, fires, etc. In the Bible he never did any of that. The Old Testament he is only found in the book of Job has Gods helper. In the New he tries to talk Jesus in to doing ridicules things that nobody would fall for. Mormons - man made yes, but give the devil thing a break.

Is There A Poverty Gospel

"If any will come after me, let him deny himself, take up His cross and follow me." Jesus also told a rich man, "If you will be perfect, sell all you have, give it to the poor, and you will have treasures in heaven." He said, "It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven." "Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air their nests, but the Son of Man does not have a place to lay His head."

What If Big Bang Is True
	How do we know God did not use evolution in the Genesis account. One day with God is a thousand years (or more). The oldest written book in the Bible was written in 1,500 BC. The Geneses story was passed down orally for several thousand years before it was written. There are even two variations in the first few chapters.

Pay Bills Or Tithe To Church
	God promised to take care of our needs, not our wants. If you spend more then you make and have none left for God, that makes you a foolish servant. The door may be shut with your lamp out of oil. Watch out for easy believeism, the gospels do not preach that variation.

Is Purgatory Paradise
	Every religion on earth describes a heavenly type of place, what is in a name?

I Need Proof Of God
	A more accurate question would be, is there proof of God without writings?

Is Man Pure Or Sinful From Birth
	The original sin ideas was started by Paul and actually goes against the teaching from God in the Old Testament. I guess we could ignore everything in the Old Testament but a lot of Christians still like the 10 commandments.

Women Useful For Church
	Jesus had women helpers, but Paul didnt have any time for women in the church. Id follow Jesus over Paul. And, when you get to heaven, there are no males or females according to Jesus, that will take some getting use to.

I Need Proof Of God

There were lots of proofs during our Lord's earthly sojourn--but people didn't accept them even then. He would perform a miracle--and people would say He had demons. In Matthew 28, there were people who even doubted His Resurrection at the very moment of His Ascension, though they were seeing it with their own eyes. According to St. Paul around 500 people saw the Risen Jesus--yet 10 days later only 120 people were persevering in prayer in the Upper Room.

Was Jesus Lonely
	Why, of course, not! He asked His disciples to pray with Him during His Agony in the Garden because His heart was full of the joy of knowing Himself as His very own personal savior! What a silly question to ask.

Banned Books Week

**The saddest part of the whole thing was that most of the parents who were protesting the story...** I know a Christian who is a public school librarian. She has a form for people who complain about materials in the library. The first question on it is, "Have you read the material you are objecting to?" Next come "What specifically do you find objectionable? What do you believe the author is trying to say here? What would you recommend as a substitute?"
