Can Christians Sue Others

Sometimes you have to use common sense.The bible was written 2000 years ago and the world is much more complicated than at the time.If your health or family is suffering because of an injury or financial damage caused by a wrongdoer you have to protect yourself.When you win the money you could perhaps use part of it to help the poor or someone in need.You must take care of your own financial and health needs before worrying about ancient laws that we really can never be sure about.Go ahead and sue or you will be left broke and injured.The insurance companies are not practicing biblical principles they are in business to make Money and keep you from getting any of it.This is the way the world works and either understand that or you lose out.

Dad Got Me Pregnant
	i think u should tell her she should realy know and make her owne choose on how she feels

Burn In Hell For Eternity
	Death and hell shall deliver up the dead that are in them and they shall be cast into a lake that burns with fire and brimstone. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth upward forever.

How To Get The Holy Spirit

By admitting you are powerless over your life and submitting your life to HIS will, not your will. Meditation is very helpfull, and God does not send the Holy Spirit to the "casual observer" Simply pray for God's guidance and invite him to fill you with the power and knowledge of the Holy Spirit You ask and you shall receive, you knock and the door will be open I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me. GOD IS GREAT

Self Righteous Pastors

If truly called, they do not see themselves as self-righteous. My pastor considers himself a regular member of the church body. He feels that his role in the church body is to guide us and direct us. He considers his role in the church no more important than that of the choirmember or the greeter. (We are all members of the body of Christ). He will be the first to admit that he sins just like the rest of us. And because of that he needs to remain focused on Christ 24/7--just like the rest of us.

Must Submit To Husband
	Your husbands request is against the word of God and you need to obey God first. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit and have a responsibility to take care of this temple. Being obese is not God's will.

Unwed Pregnant Daughter
	The parents will regret it someday. They always do.

I Recently Had An Abortion
	You should expose the truth and get out of this horrible affair that will destroy lives. I can't understand how you can be a Christian and be doing this kind of behaviour. Repent and get out of this now.

Take A Mans Last Name
	So what last names do the children get if the woman doesn't adopt the mans name? Remember also that right from the begining it was the man that has the authority in the home.

Worked On A Hindu Temple
	I would have a hard time doing it. Didn't you get a check in your spirit every time you went there? Ask the Lord to forgive you. He will and you can put this aside.

Stopped In Front Of A Joint
	Trish. Every business has a sign in front of it so that's how the Christian friend knew what it was. I wouldn't want my vehicle parked there as I do believe it could be a stumbling block. I wouldn't park in front of a pub or liquor store either, Rumors start flying pretty fast if we start doing that.

Cause Of Economic Crisis
	It could be but I'd like to see someone prove it.

Christian Smokers
	Mar 7:15 there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him, but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

Did Jesus Drink Alcohol
	Mar 7:15 there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him, but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

Did Jesus Drink Alcohol
	Accordiong to the Bible he did. It was John the baptist who didn't.Luke 7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath a devil. Luk 7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

Apostolic Succession False
	Even though the position is misused often, it doesn't mean there are no true ones. I'd like someone to show me Scripture that Apostleship or any other of the 5 ministry gifts are no longer in effect for the edifying of the church.

Love To Submit To My Husband
	It is totally out of custom to do such a thing here. We have no such customs and calling your husband Lord would be way out of line. Call him by his name or anythiing else that suits. My wife is totally submissive to me and if she called me Lord I would feel silly and ask her not to do it again. Ask your husband if he would like to be called Lord, that should end this.

Apostolic Succession False

Barnabus was an Apostle according to Act 14:14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out. Also the church has Apostles for the building of the church. Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles, and some, prophets, and some, evangelists, and some, pastors and teachers, Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Heaven Immediately At Death
	1Cliff. Okay, I agree with you that no physical bodies are in heaven until after the resurrection. But Many believe that at death the spirit is returned to the Lord and that this part of the person is present with the Lord immediately upon death. The body will be reunited at the resurrection.
