21 | Charity or a Door Mat? | NT general Archive 1 | dat | 104833 | ||
How long should you help someone who doesn't want to help themselves? My friend has been helping a single woman and her children for the last 2 years. The woman has promised to go to church on several occasions, but changes her mind at the last minute after people show up on her doorstep. She lives in an outlying area and this is over a 45 minute drive. My friend (through the church) has paid for prescriptions, food, Christmas presents for the children, given her clothes for herself and the family, given her furniture, cash, etc., but this woman has never come to our church or let anyone talk to her about the gospel. Her children are out of control and threw things at my friend and swore at her. Half of us think this woman has no intention of changing or wanting to change and is just using us for her own selfish reasons and the other half think we should be charitable. I believe in being charitable, but I think this goes beyond that, especially after 2 years of this. This Christmas, we wanted to meet her and her family (so far only a few people have met her and only for a short time). Anyway, she only wants to get the presents for the kids and not meet anyone else. What do you think? | ||||||
22 | Version vs Version - Again | Gen 6:1 | dat | 114003 | ||
Dear Sir Pent I was referring to Genesis 6. One of them says something like the sons of God married to daughters of men, etc. However, the other version says the Nephilim (angles) married the daughters of men and another version says they were giants. In my mind I mainly just look at other versions and come to my own conclusions (which are usually like most christians). I was just wondering how I would approach my husband since he says I HAVE to stick to that exact version. |

28 | True Christians break commandments? | John 15:10 | dat | 72810 | ||
Could someone break one of the (serious) 10 commandments and really be a Christian or were they never really saved? How can you tell if you are truly saved or just think you have been saved? I know a lot of people who are totally convinced they are saved and I can almost tell you that they aren't. I feel in my heart that I am saved, but I committed adultery (and married the person). I know it was wrong and have asked for forgiveness, but my brother says I haven't truly repented since I am still married to my current husband and that I should divorce him. Any ideas? Special note for EdB: I have been conversing with you on this quite a bit. If you are out there, what do you think of what my brother has said? - dat |

Please let me know if this is against the rules. The reason I ask is because it would be great to have some more Christian friends in my area. Thanks! dat |

30 | Differences Between Protestant Groups | Acts 2:1 | dat | 108958 | ||
Does anyone have a short "outline" of the differences, if any, of the different protestant groups? Someone asked me what other protestant beliefs are and I really couldn't answer why I was in a particular protestant church. I only know what my church believes. I thought all protestants believed the same thing and it was just different from catholics. Does anyone have a brief overview of any main differences with the different protestant churchs? | ||||||

37 | Strict Observance of Bible Versions? | 2 Tim 3:16 | dat | 113944 | ||
I usually use the NIV version of the bible since it is easier to use. On some occassions I will look at the King James version to compare a passage. I have found some MAJOR word changes in some of the passages. My husband (Mormon) says that if I my church uses a particular version (mine uses the NIV) that I am to only use that version and if I disagree with it, that it proves that the Mormons are right when they say that they believe in the bible "as long as it is tranlated correctly". How can I answer him. I get tongue tied or just keep silent in order to avoid an argument. | ||||||
