Is Islam The AntiChrist's Religion
	No, it is not. I know many loving and caring people whose faith in God, inspired by their lifelong involvement in Islam, has inspired in them greater acts of kindness, caring and all around love. Since love can be one of its fruits, and since that is the fruit of primary importance in Christianity, Islam is not the religion of the Antichrist.

Forgive A Cheating Spouse
	Forgive without forgetting. That is, you have to protect yourself from further hurt. Focus on saving the marriage only if you believe the marriage can be saved AND if you wish to save it. You can forgive him but no longer wish to be in that kind of relationship with him. How can you best love God, others and your self in this situation?

Should Christians Drink Beer
	Jesus created wine as his first miracle, very good wine, indicating an endorsement of alcoholic beverages involved in celebrating. Enjoying a beer or other alcoholic beverage is good if we do so without doing something dangerous, like driving drunk or drinking excessively and endangering our health. One way to love others and ourselves is by sharing some social time drinking together.

President Obama Great Delusion
	By your fruits, they will know you as mine, Jesus said. Obama is showing love by trying to extend healthcare to all Americans, while greed leads many of his opponents to disrupt discussion on how best to do that by shouting out at meetings. Heal the sick, Jesus encourages. Obama is christlike, not a delusion.

Burn In Hell For Eternity
	God will not do that, as he is full of love and compassion. If a person has a deluded and destructive spirit, God may keep him from others for awhile to protect them, but God will not stop working to bring about a transformation in such spirits. Love never fails and never quits trying, so God will prevail by extending insightful and deep love for as long as it takes.

Is Islam Non-Biblical

My fiance is Islamic, and he does not wish death to any or all of the Christians in my family. It really depends on which faction of Islam you are talking about, but mostly Islamic people do not wish such things. Certainly none of the many Islamic people I met in Indonesia or Malaysia have such wishes. When I spoke of the primary importance of love, each Islamic person I conversed with agreed: love is what mostly counts.

Can You Lose Your Salvation

By your fruits they will know you are mine, Jesus said. If one displays deep and genuine love, the hallmark of Jesus, one cannot lose that ability. "The love of most will grow cold, but the one who endures to the end will be saved," Jesus said about the end times. Again, those who have such deep and dynamic love that an increase in cold and wicked behaviour cannot extinguish it, they cannot lose that. Imagine those who were able to keep loving, say, through the Cambodian Killing Fields. Their love will not die.

Can We Continue To Sin
	One may define sin as acting outside of love. As one grows in an awareness and experience of love, more and more able to engage in it, one grasps just how beneficial that love is to them, so naturally they will not want to act outside of love. This means that naturally any behaviour one might consider sin will become less and less frequent, due to growth in love, with it coming from the heart.

Is Jesus The Only Way
	If you have a spirit that engages in dynamic and deep love, then you have fellowship with God. That is what counts. If you do not, you would have no interest in spending any time in or around heaven.

Spanking A 13-Year Old
	Lets get our priorities right here, abortion, drugs, crime and wars are the evils that plague our lives not the fact that we discipline our children, yes we all use different methods, every child is different so need a different type of discipline, we have a large family, some of the children we paddle some we spank some we don't, each method keeps the child on the straight and narrow.

Guillotines In America

The guillotines have been being stored up for a couple of years now...in Montana is one place. There is no "Secret" rapture...do not be decieved. How many times does God tell us to "endure" to the end. He didn't zap Noah, Moses, Daniel, Joseph, Shadrach, Meshack, & Abendigo out of what they faced...He (God) got them through it. God say's "If you love me, Keep My Commandments." By keeping His commandments and having the testismony of Jesus Christ...then we shall all meet Him in the air! (I Thes 4:16 and 17) We Meet Him In Air....His return is very noticiable...it even wakes the dead....No secret in God's Holy Scriptures...

Earring In Husband's Car

Were you down on your hands and knees combing through his vehicle looking for evidence? Searching through the glove box, trunk, under the seats, door pockets, etc.? Searching through his wallet while he sleeps? Any or all of those things are an indication that the trust is not really there in the first place. If you don't trust him, it would be easy to take any and all evidence against him as a reason to destroy your marriage.

Does Satan Know He's A Failure
	Yes, Sue. He knows that his time is coming to an end.

Out Of Wedlocks Go To Heaven
	I've not heard anyone condemned for children born out of wedlock, except that they could not hold an office in a holiness church. That seems very extreme and more of shame on the mother's part than actual fact. Eradicating doctrinal error from fundamental holiness pentecostals often requires deprogramming, ingrained traditions can be cultish and not biblical.

Heart Transplant Problems
	I find that really hard to believe. Are you needing this question answered for a survey or an assignment. I cannot imagine anyone treating a family member horrible that made it through a heart transplant. If this is true, and Jesus is your only support, you are in Good Hands.

Food With The Gospel
	Compassion in itself is a powerfully Christ-like endeavor, and I applaud her for what she did. Having someone make a decision about Christ as Lord when they are desperately hungry, well, any dedication made might be ill-grounded and seen as exploitative. Let that come later.

Called To Witness In Bars
	If you feel an aptitude for going to a bar and sharing some aspect of your Christianity, try it. Certainly there is Biblical precedent. One can be a good listener there, providing empathy and compassion, two wonderfully Christ-like traits.

Is The Holy Spirit Leaving
	As long as people grow in their manifestation of the fruits of the Spirit, I do not see that it would fully meaningful to say the Holy Spirit is withdrawing. A dynamic and deepening love in practice is key.

Are Men's Speedos A Sin
	What may be sinful is to laugh at a man wearing one for whom it is not at an attractive look. Instead, seek a tactful and discrete way of letting him know that a speedo may not be the most flattering wardrobe for him to don.

Salvations Based On Obedience
	Perhaps most important of all: does one display and further develop dynamic love for others? This, not obedience, is the essence of salvation. Remember, "I called you servants before....now I call you friends."
