21 | Charity or a Door Mat? | Not Specified | dat | 104824 | ||
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? | ||||||

24 | Hermaphrodites, how shall we act? | Not Specified | dat | 104823 | ||
I just saw a question about predetermined sexual orientation. Personally, I think this is a choice and not that we were born that way, but I was wondering about hermaphrodites (spelling?). They are born with the sex organs of both male and female. Is it wrong that their parents decide to make them a particular gender? Is it wrong for us to judge them if we make them a woman and they end up being more masculine or vice versa? I saw a show about this once and felt sorry for the people in this situation. | ||||||

34 | Other topics taught besides salvation? | Bible general Archive 1 | dat | 87825 | ||
Dear Moran61 I guess my question was too general. The thing I was getting at is actually about whether or not certain denominations teach all different topics such as tolerance of sin vs hating the sin, but loving the sinner. I have posted past articles about myself - a born-again christian divorcing my husband over neglect and a few other things and then marring a Mormon (which I know was wrong and have asked God to forgive me). My brother and sister have cut me out of their lives. It has been 2 years now. They will only let me back into their lives if I divorce my current husband. However, I love him dearly and he has been going to bible study with me each week for the past year. They consider me a continuing "adulteress" since I sleep with my husband and didn't have a "good enough" reason to divorce my first husband. Neither of them is showing a Christian attitude. I thought you were supposed to hate the sin, but love the sinner. If anything, their attitude is putting my husband off of true Christianity. My siblings don't see it that way. I am trying to witness to my husband and I thought that they should try to do that also. I guess I'm venting a bit. I just don't understand how they can be this way. I swear they are doing this just to "punish" me. Is it time for me to just forget about them? I've been the only one trying to salvage our relationships. Any thoughts? dat |

35 | Please explain James 3:2 | James 3:2 | dat | 87738 | ||
James 3:1 says, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." James 3:2 says, "For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well". It is actually saying the opposite. He is saying that we aren't perfect and that those who teach will be under stricter judgement if they sin, but we all sin. Fortunately, Jesus took all of our sins upon himself so that we wouldn't have to pay the price of eternal damnation. | ||||||
