Evolution is gaining an ability that the parent did not have. So adapting to a situation based on that creatures genes is not evolution.

Welcome to the forum. May I suggest that 1st you seek medical advice and help for your disturbing intrusive thoughts. 2nd there is self help available at the free site, " 25 tips for dealing with your OCD " Point 4 talks about simple acknowledging an intrusive thought and moving on. These thoughts are not real, they are generated by one's mind and respond to dialogue, argument and denial. As I started you need professional help/advice not the opinions of other people.

Correction, we know that the Spirit Is the Third Person of the Trinity. Why do you post what is false?

1st death applied to all that had the breath of life, which does not include plants and certainly does not apply to part of plants. So the " death of leaves " is an irrational distraction. 2nd you are ignorant of the power and wisdom of God. As it says in genesis all living plants were given to all creatures for food, so again the " death of plants or plant parts " as it was permitted by God is an irrelevance to the discussion of creation. A fallen world cursed by sin changed by a global flood and God permitted man to eat meat, it is reasonable to assume that carnivorous creatures had begun to eat other creatures earlier than the flood as quite likely did rebellious men. That there was the adaptability in creatures to develop protective shapes, colouration, and the ability to thrive in a multitude of environments is a tribute to God's wisdom in creation.

Please read:- Exodus 30:11-13 Easy-to-Read Version The Temple Tax 11 The Lord said to Moses, 12 “Count the Israelites so that you will know how many people there are. Every time this is done, each man must make a payment for himself to the Lord so that nothing terrible will happen to the people. 13 Each man who is counted must pay 1/2 shekel of silver. (That is 1/2 shekel by the official measure. This shekel weighs 20 gerahs.[a]) This half shekel is an offering to the Lord.

The problem is prayers end and bible studies end but one is still sitting next to the girl one loves, then what? God expects us to be self controlled and that has to be learnt.

Try John 4:21 ‘Woman,’ Jesus replied, ‘believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.’ He has said true worship wi.l not take place in a temple.

Numbers 18:7 But only you and your sons may serve as priests in connection with everything at the altar and inside the curtain. I am giving you the service of the priesthood as a gift. Anyone else who comes near the sanctuary is to be put to death.” There is no other mention of death in numbers 18. Of the tithe and sacrificial offerings, the sacrifices could only be eaten by men in a holy place, while the tithe etc could be eaten by any of the levity families who were ceremonially clean. The tithe served two purposes, it rewarded the levies for there service and it was for the upkeep of the temple. Today a Christians offering does the same thing. Pays for the minister, the church building and for other tasks as decided by the church.

" Aren't We Supposed To Keep This Custom For The Sabbath As Jesus Did " And just what is the Sabbath? Jesus made it clear that ritual and ceremonial places are meaningless. Paul talked about keeping different days special and not judging people for there use of different special days. Today we celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday and most Christians are regular in their regular worship.

I'm going to stir th8s up and upset people. There is No biblical command or requirement to ' just ' forgive people. The bible teaches that repentance is necessary for forgiveness, then we Must forgive. Our example is Jesus who on the cross did Not forgive his executioners but prayed for them, asking God to forgive them, Stephen also prayed for his killers asking God to forgive.

What makes you think that this dream was fro God? How does it instruct you about Godliness, or rebuke you, or glorify God.

Don't forget Hebrew is written and read from the Right to left, so if one is readi g the bible this way, it won't make much sense.

As always I clicked post too quickly. Suggestion on your way forward. It seems to me you have made up your mind to live with him. May I suggest you renegotiate your terms and insist that his child goes with you to church every Sunday and that he attends every family service and any men's meetings. That way there will be talk on Sunday about what happened in church, he by attending family services will have the opportunity to get to know other Christian men. Do learn to explain what and why you believe in terms of historical facts rather than feelings and if he is willing to talk ask just what do you believe? and what evidence do you have for that belief? Many people think it is Gods job to make them ' happy ' its not.

ok, but how much do you love him, enough to want to be with him in heaven? As a disobedient Christian you could enter heaven, he as an enemy of God stands no chance. Remember there are only two types Christian or not christian, there is no halfway position.

Yes we see God at work reconcillng man to himself from the garden of eden. throughout history. it was God who reached out to a frighten and hiding Adam, it was God who made a covering for him and we see this everywhere in the bible. But just as Adam blamed God for being the cause of his sin, so people continue to avoid their responsibility for their acts and admit they were wrong.

The decision of who goes to heaven is not ours. We can only repeat that those who follow Jesus, those who are Christian will go to heaven. If you saw someone else in your situation, what would your judgement be as to whether they were living a Christian life? If you continue living with this agnostic, you will have Children. What of there eternal future being brought up in a home where there is little Christian influence. Statistics show that when the Father is involved in church activities 2/3 of a families children will practice Christianity. When only the mother regularly attends church 5% of children practise Christianity. What do you want in life? What thought have you given to eternity? You're worried about hell for yourself, what about his child and your eventual children?

Yes that is correct, God wants us to know him, not to be happy, healthy or wealthy. Dating advice. Do date girls, talk to them, dance with them, kiss them But not to have sex with them. A simple rule if ordinary clothing is being removed it is time to Stop. Is he a Christian, is she a Christian? Test them, by asking him to prove that Christianity is true? Do the same with his girlfriends. What does he do in church, what does she do in church? We cannot see the future, but we can prepare our children for some of the challenges in life. Encourage him to follow coldcasechristianity, wintery Knight, answersingenesis and reasonable faith. Challenge him and your church's youth leaders to educate the youth in responsibilities involved in having sex and to train the youth how to evangelise. Then the only thing left is to pray for him and his future girldfriend/wife.

This is where you display Christian character by not having sex with her or living with her. She has been hurt by her previous husband, so if you want to marry her. It is up to you to demonstrate that you will not ' love her and leave her ', rather show your character by being patient, loving and a leader. I suspect by the way you've worded your question, that you have spoiled your witness by sleeping with her. If you are serious about being a Christian, stop doing so until you can marry her. You will have somehow to extract yourself from living/sleeping with her and also show your determination to care for her. Here's a challenge to your relationship. Is she willing to commit to attending church every Sunday with you?

As retobyter has said Truth is Jesus. You rejected that saying a secular world does not recognise Jesus. You also make a blanket claim that churches tear up God's law. So what, an unknown offence committed by unknown parties on unknown dates, is laughable. That a secular world does not recognise Jesus is to be expected, they are following there master the devil. Your accusation of churches sounds like you are making a mountain out of a molehill. It is not churches God is interested in but people.

Salvation is through faith in Jesus. The devout orthodox Jew is as lost as the secular atheist Jew. So if salvation is only through Jesus it follows that Israel is no longer a political or racial enterty but a spiritual one where there is no Jew or Greek, barbarian, male or female but only Christians.

Well your first problem is who is Israel? Please note the promises of blessings and curses for Israel about keeping or breaking the covenant. So the nation of Israel are they keeping the covenant?. Gods promise to Abraham of countless descendants, and who are the Children of Abraham? Then you have the multiple applications of many prophecies. They often had an immediate result, a long term result and a spiritual result. So how are you interpreting the prophecies you've been reading, as applicable to a disobedient secular nation or as a spiritual application to those who belief?

I can only suggest that you contact your tutor ans 3xplain the situation. If you can obtain a copy of the book ( from another student ? ) then you'll get 3xtra time to complete the assignment, otherwise you will fail this part of your course

Yet she clearly struggl3s to apply scriptural teaching to her life. We all have a temper and those of us with a short fuse work at not loosing it.

Guess what, the months of the year and days of the week also come from pagan sources, in your crusade against Christmas and Easter do you also campaign against Christians using these pagan symbols?

No, I asked for biblical evidence of spirits roaming the earth, not your belief in un verified supernatural events.
