  1. If it is the only pray you use then it is not relevent to the Christian. We are told to pray on every occasion with every type of prayer so if it is one form of prayer that you use then it is relevant. Look at it this way, if your children only spoke to you using a stylised set speech wouldn't you be concerned about your relationship with them? It is the same with God.
  2. Yes we are done of God, but as Rom 6:22 says we are also servants/slaves of God. As Sons, co heirs with Jesus we have enormous privileges but they do not take away our responciblity to live for, to serve Jesus and as Phillipians 2:1-6 says copy Jesus in the humility of your service.
  3. ." I gave the aide my keys to use, while I was in the supermarket" never ever do that. If you report the loss of any possessions to your contents insurance co, they will not pay out as you enabled the thieve to gain access. learn from this minor loss, your side is in your home only when you are there, all valuables are locked away, including your drugs. as has been advised change your locks, think about installing a hidden video camera to watch over where your valuables are stored. I would suggest using your aid for the heavy duty tasks, basic cleaning, stripping and remaking the bed, laundry etc. most supermarkets do online ordering and home delivery for your bulk buys, leaving you the chance to do more leasurly local shopping for fresh food and exercise.
  4. Why should anyone who is a Christian have to say that? What is a Christian if not a servant/slave of God. Why haven't you explained your reasoning for making this request?
  5. In theory yes, but for a moment think, someone who has resisted turning to Jesus all there life, who has lived a sinful life, expects when they are dying to change the habits of a life time from hating God to loving God. Have you ever tried to change a habit, was it easy? This also ignores the issue of whether God is still offering that person salvation. The Bible says Today is the day of salvation, not some date 60/70 years in the future. This also assumes that this person is aware that they were dying.
  6. Matt 21:28-31 We have been told what Jesus wants of us, which one are you?
  7. Well are your images pornographic? Do they incite people to disregard God and to waste there money on unnecessary gimmicks? If your answers are all yes then you are right. If all you are doing is show the products then you are not sinning.
  8. makes me FEEL like God is going to think its me and then anser my prayers OR know its not me and because its me but me with the things in me that God WONT EVER ANSWER MY PRAYERS EVER the Spirit living in all Christians knows the thoughts of that Christian, he knows when intrusive thoughts are causing someone to think or say things they would not think or say themselves. you need to talk to your pastor about your problem and follow his advice, even if it is to talk to a doctor.
  9. And God's responce to us is God's, we do not dictate the how or when he responded to us. Our job is to carry on following the instructions we have.
  10. God's plan for you is the same for everybody. To live a life that honours Jesus. To work and earn a living, to be part of a church.
  11. If you are a Christian you belong to Jesus and no demon can take your soul. If you are not a Christian then your soul already belongs to the devil. Dreams have no relevance to reality.
  12. There is plenty of intellectual arguments for the resurrection. It should be remembered that it is up to the challenger, the skeptic to prove the resurrection did. Not happen. For the Christian sites like coldcasechristianity provides a detectives assessment of he new testament and of there validity as witness statements. He also lists and comments on the many hostile contemporary witnesses to Christianity. Another useful site is reasonablecfaith and wintery knight, both have articles on the accuracy and reliability of scripture. Books Lee Strobel the case for Christ's, Josh McDowell, Evidence that demands a verdic. For biblical resources answersingenesis ( yes I know a yec site, but they stand on the accuracy and authority of scripture, so are a helpful resource. )
  13. If I may add a few suggestionsthat she be encouraged to talk about her feelings to her husband, or to her pastor, or to a councelor. In turn they need to show her, remind her that no matter what happened in her childhood she is loved and valued for her self. It might help if she also expressed her feelings about this to God and asked him to deal with her feline of anger, resentment and worthlessness. Note checks not to manufacture feelings of forgiveness, just to express her feelings to God and ask him to deal with them.
  14. Two points. Imagine you work in Starbucks in your town. A question for you. How often would the managing director contact you to tell you to serve coffee? You have a shop manager, a bar supervisor and your instructions/training, you get on with the job. Christianity is the same. We have our instructions and we are to get on with it. However for our support we have the Bible, prayer and church services. If one is 'feeling' left out, an immediate question is are you listening? Second point. What did Jesus say to Thomas? He fully expected there to be plenty of Christians who lived there lives on Bible readings, prayer and sermons.
  15. Christianity is not about doing, but about recieving and passing on. We do not earn or deserve our salvation, we cannot do anything to deserve it. I am sure you understand this, may I suggest that you find the online article, 25 tips for successfully treating your ocd, written by a physiologist to help his patients. Read it and discuss it with your therapist or Doctor and your minister. One key point is , ' You are responsible for your treatment, taking medication, following methods and techniques that enable you to cope with odd.' God has given men the intelligence to develope medicine to treat illnesses, Luke was a doctor, there is no condemnation of doctors or medicine in the bible. Read the article, take your meds, read the bible and pray, attend church, but don't let your Ocd take charge.
  16. As far as I understand fallen angels are demons, Satan, Lucifer and the devil are different names for the same being, but it doesn't matter if they are different devils. Evil spirits equal demons. How to they get things done I've no idea.
  17. Please read Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. this shows that the holy spirit in us interprets those thoughts we cannot put into words and tells God them. it also means our mumbling, mix pronounced words, wrong words etc etc etc will be understood by God.
  18. No dream or nightmare would, but what problems in this life? I hope and pray I never have to face that choice. I know that what I call my life is not mine. I belong to Jesus, he is my saviour and my Lord. My Lord in that I am duty bound as all Christians are to obey him and self murder is forbidden by the ten commandments. So I hope I am never in that situation.
  19. Please read John chapter 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” what is Jesus saying? That he will lose none, that is no one, who is a Christian. if you are a Christian your souls is not yours , it is Christ's, if you are not a Christian your soul already belongs to the devil. you have posted before about loosing your soul, please learn the above basic Christian facts and also learn that intrusive thoughts you merely acknowledge and ignore.
  20. No we do not have to ' only believe,' Jesus said if you love me you will obey my commands. That basically means the ten commandments. So someone who says they are a Christian but is having a sexual relationship outside of marriage ( one man married to one woman ) is not obey Jesus nor is he practising Christian living, ditto if they are practising witchcraft or any other new age beliefs.
  21. Ring her and speak to her. Untill you try you don't know how she will respond.
  22. Your salvation rests on Jesus's ability to forgive you All your sins, your past sins, your present sins and your future sins. Your salvation does not depend on what an ill mind causes you to think you said. Jesus says that he will keep those who are his save and to raise them up at the last day.
  23. Belief is based in reality, the historic fact of Jesus, his death and resurrection. As we are always to be able to give a reason what and why we belief. This is not an airy fairy just believe. Yes we have to be ready and willing to forgive but forgiveness is always conditional on repentance. Luke 17:3 set the conditions that we must forgive when they repent, an unlimited number of times.
  24. If he is a lifelong friend, just ring his wife and talk to her. Spend time talking about her and her needs and whether there is anything you can do for her before asking about your friend.
  25. Do you still attend church? May I suggest that you start a routine of reading a passage from the bible together with a basic daily bible reading notes. Or daily read a bible passage and you write in a book what you read, what struck you about that passage, why, and what you prayed about. Either of these will get you back into reading and thinking about what the Bible says.
