Should Women Teach In Church

It says in the word, that in Christ there is neither male or female, and if Christ is the 'head' of the body which is the church, it is therefore Christ who speaks, since that is what the head does, think and speak. So since both males and females are a part of this corporate body,the church, then all are called to do and say what the Head says.We are all called to be Ministers of Christ and that means any where the Spirit wills. It is pretty straight forward, and simple logic.If God is going to use the human body as a metaphor then we must understand it in the same way.

Are Mormons Christians

I am a Christian and happen to be LDS. I was not always not LDS. I was born into the catholic church and became charismatic nondenominational. I always find that people who judge our church usually have not been to it nor plan to ever go. Then there are x members who get mad at someone in the church and instead of trying to work things out in a christ like manner they leave and then become a tool for Satan to use.

Sin To Live Together
	Get it people. A paper filed at the courthouse does not make a marriage. It about committment. God honors committment. Sorry if i stepped on a few toes. This couple is committed and strong. Stop condeming them. Some of you who are doing this have rotten marriages (filed at the couthouse). Check youself! My best wishes to this couple...

Is TBN A Godly TV Station
	I dont watch TBN hardly at all. I am an excharismatic . TBN seems to be growing and that is sad because all they have is the Word of Faith preaching. TBN just annouced that they are sending small sattelite dishes to Russsia , Africa and else where to preach the gospel? The ministries that they host are truly very shallow.

Obama Helping The Economy

Helping the economy will not restrain the judgment that is coming because of the innocent blood that has been, and is still being shed in the abortion mills provided 'by the people of the people and for the people'. I didn't vote for Obama for just that reason. I was out voted. Some self proclaimed Bible thumping 'Christians' actually told me to vote for him and when I said I could never cast my vote for some one who has voted against pro-life at every turn, they said, 'pray and God will change him'. Sometimes I wonder if some 'Christians' have actually gone crazy. I have no other expanation for it.

Obama Helping The Economy

Promotion doesn't come from the east, the west, or the south, but God puts one down and sets up another. He judges nations for the shedding of innocent blood. {37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 38And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.Psalms 106. Obama was elected by the people for economic reasons, but as long as we have a president who won't stand against abortion, and stand up for those 'who can't speak for themselves' to deliver them from death, this nation will not only never attain the prosperity Obama promises, but will face the judgment of Almighty God.

Must Submit To Husband

You have to think about what is best for you. God saved you because he loves YOU not because of the tradition your culture teaches. It is selfish for him to not think about your health or how his idea of submission effects the way you see yourself. Being overweight throws your metabolism off, your digestive track does not function properly and you become unable to eliminate properly. You can get a heart attack or have a stroke. If you have children who will care for them if you die. I don't think you husband would because he is trying to kill you. You are better than this and if you have children they deserve better. This tradition that says being overweight is attractive is causing you to commit a slow suicide.

Husband Doesn't Love Me

My husband did the same thing after being married for 23 years. I stayed in the church and remained faithful to God, I worked and took care of our 4 children. The best thing to do at this point is to nurture yourself, develop intimacy with God through prayer, and seek support whether its through a book, a friend, family, or the church. Do not go through this by yourself. If you do it will be really heavy. Sometimes men do things out of fear or irresponsiblity. Take courage and know that if God is for you WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU.....

Miss California Controversy

I'm proud of her.I'm sad some of you can't be more compassionate toward her and remember your own sins of youth and many mistakes one makes toward maturity.Jesus got slammed for letting M.Magdelene wash his feet with her tears of repentance and dry his feet with her hair.This young woman proved courageous,she defended her family & country and she was not unkind. Christians are currently being persecuted in other countries and it is sure to happen here eventually.Those who really love others as your own self would do better to offer mentoring toward this young person rather than accuse her.One point in all this is that USA is losing it's freedom of speech and that's something that will affect we Christians more as time goes on.Patra7846

SDA Explain Colossians 2:16

Do you honestly believe that the Sabbath isn't a shadow of Jesus and the coming sacrifice? God commanded Israel to remember the sabbath so that they may know the Lord is the one who sanctifies them. Who is the one who sanctifies us with his blood? Jesus It was a day to remember the Lord who rested on the Seventh day of creation, who was the creator? Jesus! The sacrifices performed on the sabbath were a shadow of the coming sacrifice of Jesus It was a reminder to Israel of the Lord who led them out of Egypt...Jesus! Can you honestly say it doesn't lead to Jesus? God bless:)

How To Properly Spank My Kids

I'm 41 now, but in my youth, my momma and daddy do not spare the rod. I was hand spanked on the bare bottom until I was 10. After that my parents used either a 1/2 inch thick wooden paddle or a leather belt that was purchased specifically for whippings. A few whippings was all it took for me to behave and do what I was told. I now have a boy, 11 and a girl, 13. Both of them know if they step out of line they get their bottoms bared and spanked. Until the age of 10 they were spanked on the bare bottom with hand only, but now they are spanked on the bare using a paddle shaped like a hairbrush. It gets the point across quite nicely, since both of them haven't had to be paddled in about 6 months.

Saul First King Of Israel
	The main reason I doubt that Saul made it to heaven is this: He murdered the Lord's priests and their families in the village of Nob (see I Sam.chap.22). There is no evidence Saul ever repented of this foul deed.

Should Christians Support Israel
	Support ONLY those who follow the Golden Rule as stated by Jesus: Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. How can Christians say amen to the mass starvation and bombing of an imprisoned population in Gaza? Supporting that policy is AGAINST the Spirit of Christ!

Can I Marry A Non-Believer

When I read the scripture II Cor. 6:14 my Study Bible explained that a yoke was when two different animals were put together unevenly for the purpose of a work (carrying, loading, etc...) and whatever you were trying to haul or carry would not topple over or be properly carried. Unless your marriage is "ministerial" to some degree or the person interferes with your development in Christ and pursuit of his work, it doesn't fall under the category of an unequal yoke. But I will remain prayerful with this topic.

Pay Bills Or Tithe To Church
	I believe that you should tithe first, because if you do it with a cheerful heart, surely the Lord will bless you enough to help you pay off the bills.

Tithes From The Gross Or Net

Monetary tithing is a GROSS highway robbery doctrine cooked up in the fifth and sixth centuries A.D. to catch poor Christians in a NET of ecclesiastical greed. Tithing is NOWHERE practiced or commanded by any NT Christian in the Bible. Tithing was on agricultural produce ONLY. Tithing is part of the Law given BY MOSES from Mt. Sinai to the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL (Lev.27:30-34. Go back to the Law and you get a curse, not a blessing (Gal.3:10). He who gives to the rich shall surely come to want (Prov.22:16).

Are Some Sins Worse
	If you sin in one sin you sin in them all. James 2:10-11 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill.. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
