Why Was The Apocrypha Removed
	Who determined it wasn't God inspired? Esp after 1800 odd years. Who took it upon their own authority(s) to remove it?

Should A Pastor Counsel Women
	My husband started calling a woman in our church (to supposedly help her). It has almost destroyed our marriage. He evidently decided he liked her better than me.

Are Catholics Christians

In a word Yes Catholics are Christian. But it is no wonder satan is laughing at us. We spend so much time trying to condemn one another we forget what is important, spreading the Good News of Salvation through Jesus and only Jesus. With so much judgement among denominations, why would anyone want to come to Christianity. The back-biting and holier than thou attitude puts makes us all look like fools.

Marry, Leave Or Wait
	Hi! Please read 1 Peter 3:1-6. You just might find answer to your question. God bless!

Offended By Women Pastors
	I'm conducting a discussion on Preachers and bible degrees. Does anyone feel that before a person should preach or pastor a church they need some type of a bible degree? Would you sit under a person if they do not have any bible degrees? Do you feel that before a person can preach or pastor a church they need to be called by God or does having bible degrees be the only requirement?

Autistic or Asperger Christians

Hi I teach children with special needs. Often I come across the opinion that religion is not for people with special needs. I am studying how to make the teaching of RE more meaningful in schools, specifically for autistics. I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on the matter! Particularly - what you find meaningful about your faith, and how faith could be taught in a way that fitted with autism. Thank you so much. Yours Jo

Why Would You Feel Guilty
	You shoudl not feel guilty for wanting to remarry in a few years. By all means no! But then, would wanting to have a mother figure for your newborn be a good reason for marriage? Would that withstand the test of time? Ask yourself and may God grant you the wisdom as you seek Him in this matter.

Is Slain In The Spirit Fake

It comes from yieldedness to the Holy Spirit. If you have a closed mind to it, you will never have the experience. The Holy Spirit is a person, a part of the Godhead - 3 in one. He wants to reveal Himself to mankind. He is our comfort, our guide, our counselor. His presence is like no other experience - like no other high. Sometimes His presence is overwhelming and you cannot stand in His presence. It is yielding to His presence.

Salvation Without Confession

We must confess Christ before others because a witness is required: "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true."(John 5:31 KJV) Furthermore, if we're not willing to openly proclaim our faith, its a sign of shame, and the Word is clear that: "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."(Mark 8:38 KJV)

Can Salvation Be Refused

Jesus states in John 6:44 that no one can come to Him unless the Father draws them. It is God that does the choosing, not man. So if one is drawn, that one would not have slavation refused. Today's teaching that WE can decide to "accept Jesus into our hearts" is not valid. When one is "drawn" he/she receives the same rheyma truth as did Peter. Mt 16:16 This belief of Who Christ is, is the "rock" upon which His Church is built. Mt.16:18 (Peter is not that rock)

Can Christians Drink A Beer
	When one has a beer or alchol beverage in their hand, it doesn't show good witness. It doesn't show christ-like. Even though Jesus made the water in to wine, he didn't get with his disciples and drink all night either.

Do We Need A Bible Degree
	If God called a person to preach or evanglise, then that person doesn't need to go to college to learn about the bible. God shows them. But if God didn't call a person to preach, teach his word, then it won't last. There is nothing wrong with going to college to further your education. Colleges doesn't call people to preach, teach on God's word but God calls a person to do his work.
