First Three Days Of Creation
	Yes, Time is not a constant, and I don't mean between our time and God's. Read about Einstein's theory on time. look up "Einstein was right: space and time bend" If the earth was expanding, then time in the beginning was different than time now.

Come Back To My Husband

Check out Mark 10, Matthew 19, Matthew 5 31It has been said, Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.f 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery. I'd suggest consulting with someone in your church if you're both Christians. if both are christians, the word is clear.

Christian Dating A Non-Christian
	You are aware of the curse of God upon man in Genesis Chapter 3? The curse is real and takes effect once you are married. It's likely to creep up and ensnare you after the honeymoon period. If you're both not Christians it's likely going to be hard to control the curse. If you don't believe in the curse, then watch Jerry Springer.

My Husband Does Drugs
	Drug Rehab. Try and find a Christian one. Then try and send him to a 3 to 6 month all inclusive place for him to really study what it means to be a Christian. They aren't fun trips, but more like barracks.

Can The Devil Talk To Your Mind
	Any "voices" or thoughts you have are only coming from you.

Friend Becoming A Mormon

Samuel: If I am a cook and I make everything on your dinner table and you ask me if I created all this (pointing to the delicious looking foods), does anyone think that it was created from nothing or from ingredients? If I am a painter and I create a masterpiece, does anyone think that I created the canvas and paints from nothing? If I, as a bio-engineer, create a type of tomato that is resistent to a certain of disease (TMV for example), would anybody assume I created the tomato from nothing? Obviously from the all the examples above, "creation" does not necessarily mean "from nothing". And I believe the hebrew word in genesis does not mean "from nothing".

I Had A Demonic Dream And You

I've had many dreams in which I've had encounters with demons, each frightening enough that they are vivid years later. M dreams would always be physical battles with demons where I would call on God and Jesus and recite scripture while fightingthe demons. I am no longer as strong of a Christian as I have been in the past, and because of that or no,t the dreams don't happen anymore. I don't know if any of this is linked, but I just woke up 10 minutes ago with 10 seconds of sleep paralysis and extreme fright that I would see another demon during the period where I couldn't move.

What Is A Jezebel Spirit
	Ive been dating a woman with this spirit for 3 years and it has almost killed me, no exageration. She has caused so much disruption in my church and my life that I am amazed it has lasted this long. I am definitely her Ahab. What can I do?

Is Harold Camping Correct

One thing that I think we as Christians need to ponder is that since the beginning of time, men have predicted the end of time. During the decline of the Roman Empire, there were many Christians who thought that the world was ending. And they had good reason to believe this, the Roman empire was just as powerful and great as America is today. Its influence was just as widespread and its decline was cataclysmic for Europe as well as the Middle East and North Africa. Every generation thinks the end will be in their lifetime. The truth is that Jesus said the end was near in his time, 2,000 years ago! We often think we are wise and think that it is worse now than it has ever been. But we deceive ourselves.

Refinance My Mortage Now

In veiw of the recent sub prime loans Crisis in the US I think that if you are on a fixed rate mortgage you should stay there . Varaible rate mortgages are just that, Varaible. While they are lower at the moment. There is no reason why they will not increase in the future (as they usually do) to a higher rate than a fixed contract mortgage. Most mortgages are over a period of up to thirty years. Do you think the banks are offering this product for the Customers benefit?

Way To Tell People About Jesus

My favorite way to tell people about Jesus is in the way that the Holy Spirit enables which is through any contacts I have with people - neighbors, people en route to places (fellow travelers). Recently someone asked me, "Have you got a light?" So I replied quickly, "Yes, only Jesus!" The person smiled, shook his head and walked on. In making that response, I was seizing the opportunity to share my faith.

Men Wear Hats In Church
	does hats in church really matter? what is church anyways? a building or a group of believers coming together in his name? people make everything so complicated and legalistic. Does it bother you that much when someone wears their hat in church? sooo bad that you will let it get between you and God? It's all about the heart and love. God knows what kind of respect I have for him within my heart.

Is Mary A Mediator For Christians

The Wedding at Cana was Christ's first miracle. The transformation of water into wine is a representation of Christ's sacrifice (His Blood being the wine) which allowed the cosmic wedding between God and Man to take place. It was Mary who interceded for us, telling Her Son that "They have no wine" (Jn 2:3.) Thus, if it wasn't for Mary's intercession, Jesus wouldn't have been able to provide the wine (His Blood) for the wedding because He wouldn't have known about it. She is our Mediator.

Catholic Church Like Mormons
	Rebecca: Amen. And I might add being charitable (Loving our neighbor and enemies).

Women With Long Hair

Firstly, anybody's opinion about how you should interpret, and apply a Biblical truth to your life, should (in general) take a back seat to how God Himself tells you it should apply. Secondly, these particular verses are very simply stated, and those who are able to follow its directive, and who DO NOT are not following God's will for their lives. Those women, who's hair is not physically capable of growing long, are not obligated, to even try to apply it to their lives. What could be simpler?

Jesus Made Wine Or Grape Juice
	Jesus clearly used fermented wine. Those who argue for grape juice clearly ignore the text. How could the beliver's at Corinth become intoxicated on grape juice?

Do Our Works Save Us

James is not "complimenting" what Paul said, but correcting misperceptions people had from reading and listening to Paul. Paul definitely emphasized grace far beyond any other writer in the N.T. and perhaps went too far. James (and Peter) tried to reign in the excesses of those who disregarded the need to truely repent and live righteous lives, all because of a mistaken concept of "grace". Paul, at one point, also tried to reign things in a little.
