Note: Commissions are the same as tips. What is a 5 percent tip on a 50 dollar meal? 50(0.05) = 2.5 What percent is is a 4 dollar tip on a 41 dollar meal?

Me standing up to child social services won her over today. :) Racism was a side-issue.

This is not to express pride in being better, considering a Christian cannot brag on his/her own righteousness. However, though, seriously, many don't know the Bible or have a strong prayer life - including some well meaning people like my wife. Anyway, it's tough to say whose to blame. The...

The Abundant Life is vastly superior.

Honestly, the only people I care about hating me are my wife and her family. However, they're Christian, but I feel my wife is an immature one - so she can't project the same prayer life I can. I mean, we both need to do it to overcome the terrible obstacles we now face. My mom is similar in...

I got over my dad, but my current situation is mind-boggling. The mercy from my wife has literally ran out. It's truly in God's hands only. Yeah, heartbreak is horrible, but my Dad's thing wasn't real heartbreak. It was just death. I mean, we died with good terms. This is nothing like...

It's pointless to force the unconverted to think like those "living the life". Just accept them for who they are and pray for change.

I really think Christians will be taken out in a rapture before that.

God, with some exceptions, is simply not required to chastise, help etc.. people who aren't "living the life". Thoughts? I believe it to be the case - however, some skeptics might claim some at Hiroshima or something were "real believers".

Yeah, ultimately, we have to think like angels. However, truthfully, I've said mean things people, hypocritically. Most people do. Note: We not only have to be nice, but also kind behind their back.

This is an interesting topic because - ultimately, those outside a covenant are not protected by God.

Well, sorry to but in, but it's true that "the love of this world" keeps probably most people from seeing God. Satan provides pretty enticing things to keep people from seeking God, which are lies though, cause The Abundant Life is vastly superior. Satan is keeping people on a path seeking...

At some point the crying and whining falls on deaf ears, but not for God. However, it's really a tough situation if it gets to that point. Anyway, if people don't get their act together when things are good, it could very well be like that - as it was for Ancient Israel before The Babylonian...

Most people won't accept the plain and simple gospel. They don't want to pray and open up their heart to it.

Believers will be taken from the Earth, much like Noah and those around him were. They are taken out because God is intending to punish the wicked, not his children.

People have eternity to find Christ - though some might have to go to hell to do it. It sounds like Hinduism of a sort - but I think that's what the Bible is truly teaching. Anyway, you don't want to go to hell to find Christ, hence the need for the gospel.

O.K. have a fun vacation. :)

Yeah but there's a debate on whether you need to "live the life" (Arminain vs Calvinist debate). I think you need to. I mean, those not living the life, despite living before, authentically - are simply not chastised by God - which says a lot.

I believe the Bible teaches this. Nonetheless, because I believe in a limited hell, I think people are given way more a chance than what Catholics, Methodists or other Arminians would give them. Anyway, myself, I've fallen into long period of despicable evil - even after once "living the life"...
