    Tithes

    Yes, tithing is biblical - As Deborah and Jethro said, that's where we get the concept from. I also voted con artists, but of course there are exceptions to every rule. We are told that if we don't take care of our own house we are worse than an unbeliever (1 Tim. 5:8). So (in my opinion)...

    Paying for your sins (in this life...)

    Agreed. Christ paid the price for our sins 2000 years ago, and so because of His sacrifice, punishment for sin is not something we have to face. However, oftentimes sin will have negative consequences in our lives for the simple reason that sin is, in itself, negative. Now God will correct...

    SOME SDA Leaders are for Abortion on Demand

    And I think you are 100% correct. It's sad to sit back and look at the direction we're heading.

    SOME SDA Leaders are for Abortion on Demand

    I won't go off on a big rant here, but doesn't Mr. John V. Stevens realize that Christ made the choice to die because He valued life (i.e. ours) so much? I could be completely wrong, but it just seems to me that anyone who even glances through the Gospels would understand that.

    Trouble Trying to Conceive

    100% agreed. With our second child, it was a little more than a year before we conceived. I can't really add much to what Claudya said, except perhaps your husband should take extra special care to keep his nether region cool - i.e. switch to boxers if he's a briefs man, or perhaps "go...

    Do you practise baby wrapping?

    I must confess that my wife and I had one of these contraptions which we used on our walks. We thought it would be easier than pushing a stroller. Our experience was that we essentially ended up carrying Samuel (our youngest - about 6-9 months old at the time) in our arms because the jolt of...

    Broken Marriage...

    I actually don't think we disagree there. I meant to imply that when given the choice between his relationship with his mother and the relationship with his children, then his children must take precedence. Apologies for the lack of clarification. No argument from me there. Kyanne, By...

    Broken Marriage...

    I know it's a common "go-to" response, but the two of you need marriage counseling. Yesterday. Your husband has to take a stand on this topic. Yes, that's his mother, and the bond and relationship that they share is unlike any other on the planet. However, this is his children that we're...

    Photographs If Anyone is Willing to Help...

    Apologies for the late response. Skillet, thank you so much for your offer and please check your PM box. Sparrow, I understand exactly where you're coming from. And thanks very much for the suggestion. I'll definitely be hitting questdriven up in the next few weeks. Helping someone who's...

    Photographs If Anyone is Willing to Help...

    Hey, everyone! *First of all, if this is in the wrong place, mods please move it.* Long-story-short, it's been a long time coming (about 3 years) and things have finally come together for me to begin work on a ministry-based website. It's still a little ways off from being ready to go...

    Which Translation is the best.

    I'm going to echo a lot of what's already been said. Ultimately it comes down to what he's comfortable reading, and a willingness to study and research something he doesn't understand. For myself, I am most comfortable with the KJV, and it is the primary version I use. The first Bible I was...

    not sure

    tryingtofollow, please ignore my reply in the other thread you posted (didn't realize you had done so twice). Steve is 10000% correct, and I don't think anyone could say it any better. Begin this process yesterday.

    lost

    Physical and verbal abuse of spouse? Check. Verbal abuse of children? Check. Unbeliever? Check. Refusal to submit to counseling? Check. Unfortunately, yes, I would say you are allowed to divorce. And even more unfortunate is that, in this particular case, I sense it would be better that...

    What do I say to her?

    Good for you! If the coffee hangout happens, don't worry about trying to be smooth and cool. Every guy tries that. Be different. Be yourself. When you pick her up/meet her (either way), confidently look her straight in the eye, and say, "Peanut butter makes me gassy." She will be stunned...

    We do use the King James (primarily, but not soley), but the 1611 is actually a reference to when we met and when we got engaged. :-)

    Infidelity

    In general, you are correct. In this particular case - again, apples and snow mobiles.

    Infidelity

    So you're saying that there's no difference between him filling his role because he's made to and because he wants to? I'm sorry, but that's comparing apples and snow blowers. He can't be the man he is supposed to be because someone makes him. It will always be done with grumbling and...
