  • Perhaps try and be a positive light to them and set an example WWJD would He stay or leave? Mark 2:15-17 15 Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi’s house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for …

  • Ok thanks for that. Would you happen to know of any resources that cover the issue more in depth? Also I'm assuming eros can be a non-physical love? Is such a thing sinful towards someone other than the wife?
  • My friend told me the Priest himself doesn't forgive you but that he confirms the forgiveness from God. bible does it say to confess to a priest. My friend said James 5:13-16 kind of explains why we should confess: 13Is any one of you in trouble? H…

  • We're all one Church of God. Do you mean we're all one Church as in both Coptic Orthodox and Catholics are "one Church" or that the Catholic is the one Church or that the Coptic Orthodox is the one Church? I'm a bit confused. Thanks

  • Is it really good or proper to say for sure one way or another were Judas went with any certainty? Isn't that something God alone decides?

  • Are **** and darn it bad words? I believe that any sort of swearing or "corrupt" language is wrong and not allowed. If I am reading the following verses of the Bible correctly [and forgive me if I am wrong] they support this belief as well; Ephesia…
