How Long Was Your Engagement
	My husband and I dated for 6 months before becoming engaged and married after 18 months of dating. However, we were friends for 11 years prior to our relationship becoming romantic, so we knew each other pretty well.

Fiance Isn't a Strong Christian

Perhaps you could spend time talking with and listening to each other during your engagement. Attempt to understand where he really is on his faith journey. Share your faith with him, not in an attempt to change him but to show what makes you who you are. If you love and respect each other and each other's beliefs, it shouldn't be an obstacle. If you've already done this and found that there are huge differences and no room for compromise on either side, then it might not be the right relationship for either of you.

Obama Is Bankrupting America
	Before Obama took office America was already a TRILLION dollars in debt.

My Husband Is Narcissistic

A possible word of hope to someone with a spouse like this. I have recently come upon some information about covert depression, which has a lot of the symptoms of narcissism and is treatable with therapy and anti-depressants. This is hopeful to me because narcissism is said to be untreatable, and covert depression is treatable!!! Those of us who wish to heal our marriages can insist that our spouses seek treatment for the possibility of depression - if they won't then the environment is too emotionally unstable for any child to live in. (trust me - i'm seeing the repercussions on my own children)I agree with the person who said she will stay separated and fast and pray. I do not believe this goes against God's word.

How To Properly Spank My Kids

IMO, you should never spank a child with you hands. Your hands should not be used as instruments of fear or pain. You should have a designated instrument, like a ping pong paddle or some other tool that doesn't have any sharp edges, leave a mark (maybe redness, but not bruising), or open flesh. You should only spank children for breaking a rule that has been discussed and understood. Spanking should reinforce that children are to obey your clearly established rules and when they break them there are consequences. Otherwise, you should use another method of punishment. You should not spank on bare flesh, you should spank their bottons w/ underwear as to protect from bruising. Afterwards, you should reinforce the the rule and pray with them.

Rick Warren & Barrack Obama

IMO, I think it's a priviledge for Rick Warren to do the invocation at the Presidential Inauguration. He will be able to pray to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ before millions of viewers and listeners and petition God for the next President of the US to lead him in wisdom and mercy. Whether I agree with his politics is irrelevant, he has been elected and he will be the President of the US. As a Christian and a citizen of this great republic, I am obligated to pray for its leadership. Pastor Warren is leading the way and we ought to follow. I pray that Christians remember their will be no righteous rule until Christ returns. We should all be looking and anticipating His appearing, and living as if we are prepared to reign with Him.

Fate Of The Backslidden

According to Hebrew 6:4-6 we are enlightened as to the fate of those who believe there is multiple rebirths. V4 Iti s impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, v5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of te coming age, v6 if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifyig the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to public disgrace. So if salvation is not assured there is no salvation because Christ is the one who finished the job on the cross not us. He is not going to be crucified again for anyone who believes they can lose the gift that was given them.

Candidate For The Christians

I will vote for McCain based on his acknowledgement that life is sacred and should be protected. Also, he is a true American - he has not refused to wear the flag on his jacket and he stands with his hand on his heart during our National Anthem...he repects our Flag. He will get my vote mainly because of his stand for the sanctity of life, whereas the other one will lift all bans on abortion. God is the Creator and we must protect the innocent.

Questions About Revelations
	There are two riders on white horses in Revelations. The first, which is the first of the 7 seals in Revelations 6 is the Anti-Christ. The second white horse of Revelations in Rev 19:11 is Jesus.

How Do You Pray
	When I pray I pray for specific things. I think God wants us to be specific when we pray. I pray for my Pastor the sick to be healed for this nation. I also pray for family to be saved.

Interpret Revelation 13:17

the people have no other choice but to go into the stores because that is the only people here, if you read revelations #7, 14,15,16, ""we will come out", which means "exit" the tribulation, Jesus says our time is shortened, what Christ meant is we are out of here, before it even starts, a dash to clear out the stores, waters turning to blood -food supply will be short,stocking up their homes with water and food, that is why it was only them that John saw "shopping."

Is Slain In The Spirit Fake

As for tongues... the Bible is very clear on this practice as well. 1 Corinthians 14:5 1 Corinthians 14:27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course, and let one interpret. 1 Corinthians 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church, and let him speak to himself, and to God. If you are speaking in tongues - it had better be in private, or WITH AN INTERPRETER if it is in public.

Born-Again Single Women Exist
	To the statement, where are all the single Christian women? We are everywhere,in church, at work, being productive, awaiting God to prepare us for our husband and vice versa. We are waiting to be "pursued". Most Christian women I know want to be pursued. That is of Divine design. My question is were are all the single and genuinely Godly men?

Americans Can't Own A Gun

Guns are not the problem. Just as someone else said. If we didnt have guns, murderers and killers would find something else to use. The problem obviously is the depravity of the world. I say let us keep our guns and make it harder to actually get them. I have one for protection being a single woman. I know I have Angels protecting me and and Holy Spirit to, but I also like knowing Smith & Wesson is near by as well!

Ear Piercing Bible Scriptures
	I would have to say no to piercings and and body art what so ever. Your body is your temple would be right, however that can also go for weight, smoking, drinking, not enough exercise as well. Drug abuse and the likes. We are to treat our bodies at the temple which the Holy Spirit can reside in.

Why Celebrate Halloween

witch's are mentioned, read deut 18,and ghosts are familiar spirits or demons or fallen angels whichever you wish to call them, and by placing up ghosts and witches in the windows you are going against the scriptures,the demons were out like fierce last night, it is there night.familiar spirits are called that because they are familiar with the person, that is what those mediums are seeing and or hearing or speaking too! I gave up Halloween, this was my second year without it
