I decided I should expand on God being married... He is in all good marriages and His ways are higher than ours. Naturally.

Yes, God is married. But Jesus' life was not cut short, he came to die.

On the surface of what you are saying, I sort of agree… … But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge . . .” Psalm 73: 28a But I think true spirituality must be cultivated; it only comes from within when those rich resources can take root. (And I am sure...

Yep, it's a good way to spend time when you don't have anything else to do. :eek:

No grand narratives here. Just individual ones. You're not telling him what to feel, are you?

Very nice... stay with it and read the bible and let the Holy Spirit teach. Just this morning I was involved in a conversation about how things were before the Protestant Reformation. They were right about a lot of things ... and wrong about some others. Over time things have changed. If you are...

Savation IS all that matters. No big guns needed. For those who believe, no proof is neccessary, For those who don't, no proof is possible. - Stuart Chase

I was in a pretty serious auto accident in 1985, before that I just lived and the only thing that really mattered was just “living”. After my mother died in the early nineties, I got involved in inter-faith. It was great; I was involved with all sorts of spiritual healing, regularly went to a...

I completely understand your point of view. However, discussing Christianity while shying away from God and His Word (or only discussing the parts of it you like...) is rather a waste of time. This site was set up so that Christians can talk to other Christians. If those of other faiths are...

Excellent reply! :)

It can be, except for fireworks (in the sky, some can be pretty elaborate) and it's a national party.

I see you digging a hole. I ask you what you are doing, and you say you are trying to get to the moon; what should I do? Should I be tolerant of your approach? True atheists need not worry about hell.

Facts are nice. Thanks. Good to see you.

Seeing how Dr. King was a very vocal Christian American pastor- I'd say so. Christianity was also very important in the Civil Rights movement. But that DOES NOT mean only American Judeo-Christians celebrate it. Who is "all"? I think the U.S. is the only country that celebrates it.:)

Things are going well. I got married and then I moved back to Florida. It's great to see you.

Brian, Here it is, the beginning of the "context".

While it’s true that the Puritans fled religious persecution to establish the colony at Plymouth, Plymouth was not the beginning of the USA. The Puritans were persecuted because they attempted to revive the central principles of Christianity in face of the self-serving, legalistic corruption of...

When I said context, I meant the entire conversation. One post does not a conversation make. Are you saying that I can't quote the Bible?

If there is a prize for quoting out of context, it's all yours.

The short answer is, God is with them, pouring out mercy and grace. But this does not really address your concern, does it? Christian scholars have long debated this very question: Why does a good God allow these things to happen? Here’s the best I can do in a short reply. God granted to Adam...
