…view sex as something that is good, but to be expressed only in the marriage relationship. Moreover, sex is not the only good thing. There are many other good things in life that one can pursue during the time before one is married. Focus on those things. Pursue them, and then when the right person comes along for you, you can pursue a sexual relationship in the commitment of marriage. I pray that God will continue to lead and guide…
…compare it to. Also, in the Bible, it states that you may drink, but not get drunk. It is possible to function on cannabis. Do not be close-minded and do some research before you say it is bad for everyone, all the time. Tim’s Answer Thank you for writing and sharing your thoughts.

…found in the New Testament, including Christ’s references to Sodom and Gomorrah, to Noah and the flood, to Abraham, etc. The book is foundational to Christian beliefs. In the book is the first prophesy of the coming Messiah (Genesis 3:15). At this point, the Messiah is not seen as a savior for the Jewish people (they are not yet in view) but as a victor over the enemy of mankind, Satan. The book contains many pictures of Christ. Adam, Noah,…
…give thanks for the bread and the wine and then partake of communion. Some go beyond this with certain more formal ceremonies in the preparation of communion. High churches (most Roman Catholic, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Orthodox, some Presbyterians and some other groups) tend to have more formal methods of preparing the elements for communion. Low churches (most Baptist, Pentacostal, evangelical independent churches, charismatic, Assemblies, Brethren and other low church groups) tend to have little formal preparation of communion. Many order communion…
…our lives. To know and not do stifles the very life from the word. The word of God then becomes simply facts and information, stored memory disconnected from any life-giving power. Knowledge does not save. The devils know who Jesus is. Even Satan could quote scripture at Jesus. Salvation comes from trusting solely in Christ. Faith is an action word and true faith always leads to true love. These are the first and and second commands as stated by Jesus;…

Can this be compared to human sacrifice in devil worship? This question comes from the Worthington case currently before a court in Oregon. Tim’s Answer You ask whether people should be allowed to practice their religious beliefs when it leads to the death of their children. This is a difficult question. I think that the answer…
…Son of Man comes will He find faith on the earth); 2 Timothy 3:1-9 (in the last days perilous times will come); 2 Timothy 3:13 (evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse). However, I am not ready to accept Kingdom Now theology. To the extent that Kingdom Now theology takes away our citizenship in heaven and places us as citizens of this world, then I think there is a problem. Jesus tells us that His kingdom was not…
…family was Mormon with the exception of a few. I felt that it was my duty to defend them and our family history. The more I searched to prove them wrong the more I proved them right. I had come to a crossroad. I had to decide once and for all what I was. Was I a Mormon, or a Christian? I sat and thought about this and wondered how to come upon a decision. I finally decided that the…

…the glory of God, and am going from strength to strength. I have experienced complete freedom from eating disorders, smoking, drinking and sexual sin. My mind is being renewed by the Word of God daily. I am married to a Pastor and have one beautiful daughter and one on the way.
