    What Exactly Is Marriage?

    I have several concerns for you, going on this introduction. Is it wise to be marrying a convicted felon? Sadly your fiancee might have trouble gaining employment. Are you working? Will your wage be large enough to pay for living expenses for 2 people? Honestly, from the messages you type you...

    Special Talents

    I like Bach but to play at a "pass grade" level I would have to practice a lot more scales and play it a lot more. There would be beginners websites there. I used them to get back in practice after years of lapsed music practice.

    Special Talents

    What type of classical guitar music do you play? I am very left handed but was taught standard right hand style. I find fast plucking more difficult so ended up steering towards more lute composers than modern ones.

    Toughest Job

    I had two tough jobs. Surprisingly the second was worse than the second. During university I worked as a nursing assistant and then as a registered nurse at a large nursing home. I did that until I had my first boy. After that due to health issues I decided to not retrain. In nursing you see...

    Bible Study How Can One Have Faith and No Works?

    I agree with the overall viewpoint that genuine Faith RESULTS in good works. How do you view the thief who only expressed words to show he had Faith in Jesus? https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+23%3A39-43&version=KJV

    We Love Our Pets

    I have two whippets. My husband bought them several years back. I thought I would only ever be a cat lady. They can be quite active but they are couch potatoes most of the time.

    [ Testimony ] Seeking the Spirit.

    I still struggle with believing I am forgiven at times. When my past history comes back into my mind, only bible reading and decent websites help me see what God sees. A helpful website for you : http://www.net-burst.net/guilty/index.htm

    What will be the right in this relationship?

    Perhaps when opportunity arises you should take advantage if possible? Watch him with friends and how he treats you in front of them. Openness about what you mean to him and his respect should be given to you in front of his friends at very least.

    [ Testimony ] Seeking the Spirit.

    Short answer: get close to Jesus and stay there. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15:+1-9&version=KJV By remaining in Him you will grow spiritually, including fruit of the Spirit. I like your testimony and relate to it a lot. I went through years without Christian support and...

    What will be the right in this relationship?

    Only he would be able to answer that question, if you were going to be introduced as his girlfriend or not. The roadtrip - do you know his friends at all? What are they like?

    What will be the right in this relationship?

    It is the subtle tone of manipulation that concerns me. Prayerfully consider this website. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/communication-success/201510/14-signs-psychological-and-emotional-manipulation

    What will be the right in this relationship?

    Unless it is against the law in your country to display any forms of affection I do not understand why he is unwilling to hold hands. After 2 months and still not wanting to let anyone know? I dislike to type this but I do not have any hopes for your relationship. Only he and God knows his...

    When Christian apologists clash

    They are both true. Will be as a thief in night to non-believers, perhaps some self-professed Christians too? (of course God knows those who are truly saved). Children of the Light should be able to see signs of Jesus' imminent arrival, according to the bible.

    When Christian apologists clash

    I see he made no mention of what critics have repeatedly focused upon - his refusal to condemn leaders with questionable teachings/ practices because they claim they are Christians. Brown refuses to look at the fruits. One case, sadly from an Australian born church -...

    When Christian apologists clash

    That is why I am getting frustrated at both ministries, both doing their best from their point of view. To use your body metaphor they are becoming an autoimmune disease, attacking each other instead of supporting each other. I know James White is looking at big picture, willing to work with...

    When Christian apologists clash

    I said that in introduction of my first post. Alpha and Omega Ministries - online apologetics ministry, focuses on apologetics for non-Christian religions. Roman Catholicism is treated as another religion because A&O is from the Protestant/ Baptist perspective. Pulpit and Pen is a discernment...

    When Christian apologists clash

    Those are examples of why it is important to keep verses in context. Paul is addressing brethren, fellow believers in Christ. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Thessalonians+5+%3A1-5&version=KJV Nonbelievers will be unaware of signs of end times that Christians should know.

    When Christian apologists clash

    I am an ex-Charismatic who was badly influenced by several 80s and 90s New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) writers. I am quite familiar with how they add and subtract from scripture to form their own "signs and wonders gospel". I disagree with you about Michael Brown because - when backed into a...
