  1. If she has indeed comitted adultry then this is a cut and dry issue. You are certainly allowed to divorce and re-marry and no Christian should think ill of you for it. The Bible is very clear on this issue.
  2. What does light have to do with darkness.
  3. I watched the 700 Club once after the Creation vs Evolution debate. Pat Robertson stated it was foolish for Christians not to believe in Evolution with all the evidence out there. I guess he is what is called a Theistic Evolutionist. He believes God's hand is in the evolutionary process. Go figure...

  5. Yep, I think there is a delay in action right now but we are going to revisit this in the near future.
  6. (Heb 9:27) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
  7. That interpretation certainly would not bring cohesion with the rest of scripture in regards to sin and death.
  8. No, I don't see Adam and Eve walking around. I think you can rest assured they physically died. I also don't think death = spirit separation. I think death = eternal judgement.
  9. President Obama needs your help starting World War III! Find out how you can help! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-sdO6pwVHQ
  10. Ah, but it does because you have death as a creative process to produce evolutionary man. The bible says that death resulted because of sin entering into the world through mans disobedience. So you have man fully created then death entering into the world.
  11. Oh, its going to happen and if all goes well there are 5 other high schools close by that will be next; some public, some private. If you want a film with more substance in in then there is one on the way that is geared towards apologetics. Evolution vs God focus is evangelistic. Genesis Movie Is theistic evolution really an option for Christians? I think not. You have to rewrite the whole purpose of God and man to support it. An entire universe … wasted on us?
  12. I talked to my Pastor and Elders and they are on board to distribute 1,000 copies to our local high school. Now all we need to do is get a meeting together with all the volunteers. Maybe even get a gorilla too. Lol Evolution vs God School Giveaway Perhaps they were actually able to provide proof and Ray cut that out. Lol One Frustrated Woman
  13. The purpose of this movie was not to try to disprove evolution. That would take far too long and get into areas Ray even admits he is not qualified enough to debate. The purpose of the movie was to show 1) that people who believe in evolution do so with a certain amount of FAITH and 2) to present the gospel message. Ray is not an apologist he is an evangelist. Evolution Vs. God (movie)
  14. We have legal separation here in California which is basically the same thing as divorce. I am sure when I serve her with those papers she will counter me with divorce papers. She has already said she just want to be free and wants to be divorced if we separate. If not my pastor assures me since she is not a christian that she will get a boyfriend in short order and I can have my divorce on adultery grounds.
  15. If adultery occurred within the marriage from your spouse then absolutely you are permitted to remarry. I don't think that the adulter is allowed to remarry though.
  16. Yeah, I don't think talking about it with your wife was the smart thing to do. I think seeking the wise council of men at your church would have been the better avenue. Why should you put your wife through all that mental turmoil because of your sexual fantasies? Now she is going to have to juggle being concerned about your job, your finances, and her marriage. You really did that to her? You couldn't have taken care of this situation with the men and elders at your church?
  17. Now that is how I read it too. Its not that a Christian can't get divorced for any reason but that they can't get remarried if the spouse didn't commit adultery or abandonment. The penalty outside of these reasons is a life of celibacy until the other spouse dies.
  18. Nope, enough is enough. Things are not going to get better no matter how much I want and pray. I think God gives us wisdom for a reason and it is quite apparent that things are heading in the wrong direction radically. God never promises that marriages are all going to work out. As a matter of fact the Bible states that some will leave and to let them go. Unfortunately for me she has decided to stay and I can't get rid of her no matter how many times I tell to just go. She feels she can do whatever she wants and her divorce lawyer told her that I can't kick her out of the house. So guess what? I can only assume she is in the process of cleaning out all of her accounts so those aren't available for mutual property dissolution. The writing is on the wall it just a matter of this point if I want to wait and see myself get dug into a big hole or take action and cut my loses as they sit now. She has totally stopped working so she can maximize the spousal support benefits. This is why she is cleaning out the accounts to support herself and gain the time she needs to say that I was the total support. She got wise advice and she is using it. I can wait and become a victim of I can do something about it. I feel now is the time to act!
  19. Oh yeah, its been going on for years. Every one just keeps telling me to hang in there and pray about it and it will get better. Guess what? It has gotten radically worse through the years and now its gotten to the point she wants to clean me out of every dime I have.
  20. This is the last straw! I went to do my taxes with her today and then a bombshell was laid out on me. She had taken out $40,000 from her 401K and told them not to deduct any taxes either. Which in California, she isn't allowed to do without my consent. Spent all the money on herself. Nothing for me and the kids and then hit me with a huge tax bill. Now instead of looking at a $3000 tax bill I am looking at a $13,000 tax bill coming up in a few weeks! Surprise...surprise. And to show her disgust with all things religious...her parting shot is "consider it a donation too." This being a reference to my church donation.
  21. I don't want to ask them for the financial report because I know that it wouldn't be taken very well. Like I said I just opened my eyes and noticed that it is run like a family business. Calling financial stewardship into question would definitely stir up the hornets nest. They are not open about their finances. I have started to noticed the church centric focus and the discouragement and chastising of members who stray into activities outside the church. Last week he preached about people attending multiple churches and how they are wrong and need to stay where they are in one church where the church can take care of them and the Pastor can be their Sheppard. They need to show loyalty to the church by not venturing outside to other Christian activities. Then there is the prosperity gospel that gets preached each Sunday just before the offering is taken where God wants to bless you abundantly but first you need to show faith and give to him first so he can give back to you 100 fold. It just seems to be leading to a business model. I would like to have some hard figures and not just a hunch based on circumstantial evidence. I was hoping I could get it through the IRS by just requesting it and then they wouldn't have to know about it and get offended.
  22. I am now beginning to question whether the church I now attend is actually being run as a family business or for the advancement of the Kingdom. I would like to see the required financial report on salaries and expenses that all 401c are required to file. I have been told that this information must be provided to anyone who requests it. How do I go about obtaining this information without stirring up the hornets nest?
  23. Sounds like you found you Sunday spot! A lot of churches offer mid-week bible studies. It used to be on Wednesdays but I find now that no longer is the case. I have 3 churches that I go to and they all have their mid week services on different days. I'd stick with the church your in right now and get more comfortable with it. I would also suggest you start attending mid-week services at some of the other churches and see how you like them.
  24. I think the Lord would have up stand up and protest these people just like they do us. They have gatherings and marches. We should do the same. Call it like it is and it is pushing sexual divalent behavior down our throats and worst yet down our children's throats. What should we do? WWJD Mark 11:15 (New International Version) On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple area and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
  25. I'd take time off of college and get right with the Lord. Just get a job to support yourself and then put in the time you would of in your college efforts into church and bible study. I think when you go back to college you will find yourself more focused and things will progress better then if you didn't delay them and used your own wisdom.
