21 | 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. | ||||||
22 | 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? | ||||||
23 | Prayer Sabotaged? | Not Specified | dat | 105078 | ||
If you pray for something and then doubt it, are you sabotaged it? Will it come to pass if it is a Godly request and not something stupid? | ||||||
24 | Differences Between Protestant Groups | Not Specified | dat | 108949 | ||
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? | ||||||
25 | Was Adam and Eve's fall a good thing? | Not Specified | dat | 108950 | ||
I've been trying to explain some things to my mormon husband about the "fall" of Adam and Eve. I'm stuck on what to say to him due to his belief on this issue (which I don't even understand his explaination). He (the mormons) believe that Adam and Eve were doomed to fail because of God's commands to: 1. not eat of the tree of knowledge 2. to be fruitful and multiply He says that one can not be done without the other (which I don't understand). He believes that the fall was "good". I don't understand any of this and therefore can't make an argument/discussion for my explaination. Does anyone understand this, if so, please explain it to me. |

27 | Strict Observance of Bible Versions? | Not Specified | dat | 113936 | ||
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. | ||||||
28 | Were humans a mistake? | Not Specified | dat | 113937 | ||
Since God knows all things (past and present), why was he sorry that he created us and then brought the flood? He would have known what we were going to do. Or is this just so that we can see how much God loves us by giving us another chance? | ||||||
29 | Version vs Version - Again | Not Specified | dat | 113998 | ||
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. |

31 | No more priests? | Not Specified | dat | 114005 | ||
I'm hoping someone can help me. Where in the bible (if at all) does it say that after Jesus (and after His death) that we will no longer need to have priests? I'm looking for something that states this very specifically. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! | ||||||
32 | CORN in AMERICA? | Not Specified | dat | 130319 | ||
My husband said that there is a mistake in the bible concerning CORN. In Exodus Chapter 42 verse 5 it says, "And he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good." My husband says that only America had corn at this particular time. Is he right? | ||||||

38 | Assembly of God or brother predujudice? | Bible general Archive 1 | dat | 71597 | ||
Dear EdB My brother belongs to an Assembly of God church and the church seems okay, but my brother seems to only be loving towards other believers. I married a Mormon man and I'm trying to witness to him. However, my brother won't even talk to him or let him in his house. I am no longer invited to family functions at my brothers house. I thought that you are to love everyone and try to witness to them since God doesn't want anyone to perish. Is this just my brother's idea or does his church teach predujice? |

39 | Have I lost salvation - any hope? | Bible general Archive 1 | dat | 71603 | ||
I have sinned against God AFTER accepting Jesus into my heart by marrying two different men. My first husband led me to believe that he was headed in the same direction as me...I was young and naive at the time. Years later I fell in love with another man and told my husband. I moved out and had sex with this man prior to marriage. He is a Mormon. We are now married. Have I lost my salvation? I love my husband dearly and fear that I have made God so mad that I'm no longer saved. Some might say that since I did these things that I was NEVER saved, but I honestly don't believe that. However, in the bible it says something like "be careful not to lose your salvation". If I have lost my salvation, is there any "way" to get it back? I have recently started going back to church on a regular basis and have been involved with the members a lot more. I know that what I did was wrong, but still followed my sinful desires (unfortunately). I don't know if the Spirit is convicting me of this, if I'm convicting myself, or if the devil is giving me a guilt trip. Please help! I feel lost, ashamed, and don't know what to do. Sometimes I wish I were dead. Also, my family is making it difficult for me. I know that there are consequences for sin, but I can't take back what I've already done. Like I said, I do love my husband. Am I supposed to divorce him to show true repentence? Please advise. Thanks! dat | ||||||
40 | Assembly of God or brother predujudice? | Bible general Archive 1 | dat | 71601 | ||
Dear EdB Thanks for the input. I know my brother is concerned because I'm unequally yoked with my husband. I almost didn't marry him. I knew it was wrong, but I still went ahead with it. I do love him. I wish I hadn't fallen in love with him. We were the best of friends for about 5 years and we seemed perfect for each other except for that. I know this was the wrong thing to do, but it is too late now. I just don't understand why my brother won't even try to get to know him or witness to him. My husband thinks my brothers attitude does not reflect a "Christian" attitude at all. Well, thanks for answering. Also, I posted another question and would hope you would read it and get back to me again if you get a chance. I'm just so ashamed of my lack of will-power and outright disobedience. |
