Or maybe not...but how about current statistics that say about 17 Vets per day commit suicide. Sounds like kind of a big deal, and something even Mr Wonderful(CommanderinChief) can do very little about, even if he did care enough to try...

I do agree with a appreciate almost every reply to my question, and to anyone else who might reply. But at the same time i believe some people kill themselves because they feel there life is worthless and may even pray about it often with no answer from God or His word. But i do firmly believe we will find the answer in His word as far as what sins He condemns to Hell and what may be forgivable(is that a word?) Really i think it just depends on the individual, and believe it or not there most likely have been many who have committed suicide but still felt very close to God/Jesus, but maybe just couldnt handle some traumatic event in there life? And i dont know if this is accurate, but according to 2022 statistics almost 35% of Veterans had commited suicide? So maybe someone could fact check this?

If you kill yourself and you know its wrong will you go straight to Hell? And yeah i know there are help lines out there but they cant pay your bills/debts or get you a job, so basically most help services are useless to those such as myself. And i am asking this more for those like myself, even though i know i need help too.

"And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light; to go by day and night."" {Exodus-13:21} For some reason i always forget the rhyming here, and there is also similar rhymes in Lamentations-3:7-8(KJV) another favorite of mine.

While i would agree with most everything said here i still have to wonder about how certain people can be so evil and others so righteous even within the same family? I guess what i'm really wondering is something only God Himself would be able to answer, which is why couldn't our free will simply come down to either serving and worshipping God or loving SELF and others instead? Since that is really why we are here in the first place, to prove to our Maker just where we will decide to stand, even though i know that will also be answered once Antichrist is here and that great separation takes place between those who take the Mark and who rejects it. Either way all i can conclude is that these certain people who are VERY different from us are only a part of God's plan or something He is using to test our faith and draw us closer to Him in trying to deal with the magnitude of all of that evil that we just can't explain or come to terms with in any way.

I currently live in Georgia and actually used to live on Hickory Hills Rd, and so always was reminded of this song when it says "the devil jumped up on a hickory stump". Anyway was also wondering if anyone had ever heard of a video game called Satans Hollow? I used to play it all the time in the arcade back in the 80's. Last I heard it had been re-released on Xbox and PlayStation in 2012.

Now I know this is pretty much a straightforward question that has probably been asked many times already in various ways, so maybe I should rephrase it. Why did God even give people the potential to do great evil such as serial killers or mass murderers? And I am aware of Proverbs 16:4 which says the wicked were created for the "day of evil/trouble." But I believe that is really referring to those who will oppose God's people and Christians. What I'm really asking here is how someone could get so mentally warped that they could actually commit such evil, and even those who were supposedly on the right side imposing there version of justice have done things just as bad. Such as in the dark/middle age when people were executed in horrific ways and often tortured first in trying to force a confession. Either way this is also a question Atheists often bring up, along with how a loving God would order Israels army to kill women and children with the sword when they invaded certain cities? Because to be honest it's a question I could never give a satisfactory answer to or justify it at all, even though I know God had his reasons for doing it.

Well i'm not sure exactly where you'll find it in the Greek Strong's Concordance but "sorceries" is actually from the word "pharmakeia" or pharmacy as we know it. Meaning it's basically referring to drug users/dealers but maybe this would also apply to cell phone users, even though i think that judging people now for this is a bit too soon, and we should just wait and see what happens. Either way when the Mark of Beast has finally been officially instituted, then everyone will have the chance and free will to clearly see it and choose whether or not to take it, period.

I've always wondered who were the main culprits behind getting rid of phone booths, even though im sure it was most likely something mutually agreed upon among the major phone companies/carriers but am still very suspicious that the federal govt also played a part in it, but maybe someone else could shed some light on this because it's always been kind of a mystery and something no one ever seems to talk about or even wonder about?

As far as phone booths go you would probably have to be at least 40 years old to even remember them being around, not that they were ever something you would actually need in an emergency, but i did thought it was pretty cool how movies such as "Wargames" used it, but that was 1983.

Yeah it's really what they dont ever tell you that is the weirdest or most disturbing thing to me such as whenever you are activating or resetting a phone and are speaking with a CSR who casually tells you to press and hold the "off/on" button which you could very easily confuse with volume buttons, unless you are already very familiar with cell phones in general which they are apparently assuming you are...and why are they usually always Indian speaking people, and some you can hardly even understand??

I know this is kind of a weird question for this forum but just couldnt figure out which section to put it in. But basically its a pretty straightforward question, and from my own brief experiences with my last 4 phones, one has been stolen, one lost and 2 with screen damage which rendered them inoperable(one case which i can't explain and just dont ask) Anyway, my main point and question is regarding if anyone can actually be productive and useful(to God or anyone) in today's society without an active cell phone? Because i have been unemployed for a couple of years now and even with a cell phone i've not been able to get a job or really accomplish much of anything, so then i guess my main question is if maybe God is calling certain people such as myself to live without a cell phone or if maybe i just ran into some really bad luck? Because i am definitely NOT at all one of those "off grid" type of people and easily get very bored just sitting around twiddling my thumbs, and it seems to me that playing aound with a cell phone cannot be that much worse, so then what is really the big deal as far as a cell phone being that much of a distraction as long as you are a responsible and sensible minded person??

"And a certain ruler asked him saying, Good master, what shall i do to inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, why callest me thou good, none is good save one, that is God." {Luke-18:18-19} Actually this is also found in Matthew and Mark, but basically is saying/asking the same thing. And is something i've always wondered about but never really asked anyone or can even remember it being discussed by anyone in depth. Not that there is really a much deeper meaning and may be a simple answer but either way i just always thought since Christ was sinless then why did He refuse to be called "good"? All i can really come up with is maybe it had something to do with being called Master but that would contradict Matthew-23:10.

I guess that's the 64 million dollar question...? But maybe it's more about what DOESN'T happen that God gets out of it, in that His created children have a means of escape from eternal damnation. Since it is His HOLINESS that is so great and awesome beyond anything we can hardly comprehend that basically can not allow Him to let any form of the unredeemed into His kingdom, even someone who would be considered an occassional sinner and otherwise is a good person. Simple yet still hard to understand and/or accept...

Simple question that probably 99.9 % of most lazy Christians will answer the same way, but I'll ask anyway. And that is why has the start time for Sunday morning services always been 11AM, when I'm usually wide awake by 7 at the latest(even without coffee) and ready to go for an early morning service, which I feel is the very least i can do for my Lord/Saviour who has already done way more than enough for me... just curious??

"But this I say brethren that the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none, those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who BUY as though they did not possess, and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this world is passing away." *1st Corinthians-7:29-31*

You might be right, but I think it will most likely be a much more mental/emotional attachment to this world leader/system which would be so much more powerful and legitimate than some electronic chip. Because how could "they" convince most people to get such a "mark" when so many are already even refusing to get a simple vaccination which is probably harmless?? Bottom line is the Antichrist/Satan is and will be someone to be WORSHIPPED much more than some "mark" which will really only be a confirmation of one's allegiance to this Beast system, IMO.

Well however you look at she's not the one actually taking it's life but I suppose God would consider her to be an equal accomplice in the act? But since I'm not a woman and so am not going to pass any such judgement when I will never experience all the emotions they must be going through in having to decide what to do which will impact the rest of there life, even if they have the baby when they never really wanted to. But that's really besides the point, which my original one being more about whether all unborn babies go back to the Father that created them. And for that matter any child that has not reached that age of accountability required to make rational decisions that they then would be held responsible for. Because I've done and said some pretty bad things when I wasn't even 10 years old that now I can only wonder just WTH was I thinking?! But I just don't see how God would judge such a child as that to hell when they have not ever heard or been able to comprehend the true Gospel message, and very well could have become born again later in life. But I know the Bible doesn't say either way but maybe that's just because the answer is so obvious??

Well the only scenario where I would say all aborted babies don't go to heaven is if God simply judged each one at that point, as to where they would have ended up when there lives were done. But that sounds way too much like predestination to me. Otherwise if God already knows who's going where then what's the point of us even being here to begin with?? Anyway I thought there was another verse about it other than Ecclesiastes 6:3 but just can't recall?

All I know about incest and rape is what the OT laws say as far as the perpetrator being put to death. But nowadays they actually may not even get 10 years in prison, so then I feel the same should apply for the victims as far as what they decide to do. Either way it is an abomination to God for a preteen to be raped, period.

I know this has been asked before on this forum but given what is going on now with the elections coming up and what most Christians believe as being Gospel truth/Trump.... I just needed to ask it. And that is basically this...if all unborn/innocent infants do go to heaven then should all reasons/circumstances for abortion be banned, even for a preteen girl who was raped, or a woman whos life will be endangered by giving birth? (Ecclesiastes-6:3)

"Behold, bless ye the Lord all ye servants of the Lord, which by night stand in the house of the Lord. "Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and bless the Lord." (Psalms 134:1-2)

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. "Because thou has been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice." (Psalms 63:6-7)

So I have a pretty basic understanding of this from what I have heard taught in it, even though that is very little if anything by most Bible teachers/preachers. But, I still feel like there is a lot of confusion about it, such as when you might get very angry about your circumstances and blame it on God for causing/allowing these things to happen, which to many is basically the same thing. Anyway I myself have also verbally lashed out at God before even after I was saved, but it was more like a momentary lapse of reason kind of thing. Still the real question is what exactly did Christ mean by saying this. Because I have even heard that it's not possible to commit this sin until Antichrist is here and you take the Mark of the Beast and go along with what he will be proclaiming as far as being equal to God the Father, and thus no longer needing the Holy Spirit. But my own interpretation as to why he said it is from what it says in Mark- 3:30... "Because they said, he has an unclean spirit." Meaning they were accusing him of being able to do miracles by being possessed. Now the way I see it unless you had done anything less than denouncing the miracles Christ performed then you are not guilty of this. But at the same time there are those like I mentioned who believe it has nothing to do with what occurred during Christ's ministry but will be something entirely different. Now I won't mention where I heard such teachings about this but right now am really just wanting others opinions on it. Thanks...

Well I can definitely relate to that even though my path has probably been a lot more predictable with me simply being under qualified or having a sketchy past employment history with a violation of company policy which is obviously a BIG red flag! And so they don't even have to give any excuses as to why you were rejected, and maybe they would prefer to waste a 15 minute interview on someone like me because they pretty much know I will never be questioning why. But as far as Indeed goes I pretty much had my suspicions as to just how legit there job postings were/are. Actually the only real luck I've had was from applying directly to the company website, and I've even called Walmart stores after applying and still not been called back to come in, that is for the stores that I could actually get ahold of someone in human resources! And don't even get me started on any fast food experiences such as McDonald's who have never even been remotely interested in hiring someone like myself whether or not they had ever met me face to face, but it is what it is. And sure there will always be those people who say how there are jobs everywhere and you can always just get a job flipping burgers if nothing else...well actually it's not quite that simple nowadays.
