welcome to worthy phil. Keep an open mind for what people have to say here. some are worth 'listening' to.

Answers to questions : 1. No -our first parents were a single couple. All humanity has its descendency from Adam and Eve ( cf. 1 Cor. 15:22 ) 2. They had to since there were no other families around. Keep in mind that the number of daughters born to Adam and Eve may have been numerous. The generations in the O.T. give very little references to women - only a few notables. Then, it was simply a man's world. 3. Incest became unlawful under the Mosaic Covenant . The effects of incest which we presently see today include many offspring born with congenital disorders, yet in the days of the patriarchs, the cumulative effects of the fallen, sinful nature of man would not so dramatically and negatively affect humanity. Yours in Christ Rick Amen!!!! the more you read, study, and pray together... the more you will learn together there are books around that can help you in your study and some that will even teach you what and how to study something you are unsure about.

i don't believe that!!!! i believe that a child that dies under the age of understanding goes to be with the Father. this in my mind includes from conception. yes, i would be more worried about the lives of the mother and medical personel. i want to ask you daughterofking, if you found you were pregnant... you went for an abortion... but before they did the procedure they detected the baby's heart beat - allowing you to hear it... or you saw your baby via ultrasound would you still go through with the abortion???????

since this seems to becoming a discussion about abortion..... i will say i am completely against it. abortion is not specifically spoken about in the Bible, i believe, for one reason... back then it was considered the worst of all... to kill a baby. as i have posted before... i doubt that there would be very many women who would abort a baby if they knew that it really was a baby. doctors tell them that its ok... its not a baby yet, its just a feotus... but the word feotus simply means young one. so they are just saying its a baby in language the poor girl just doesn't understand. there are people out there who have been a result of their mother's rape or similar... and how do you think they would feel , when people say that their mother would have been better off to abort when she had the chance... and quite often the mother would be so grateful that the did not harm to her baby. i don't care the circumstance... a baby is a baby... i would not be able to bring myself to have an abortion. nor could i encourage some body else to have an abortion... yes even my own daughter. this is the subject i feel the strongest about.... nobody has converted me and no body will.

its seems the 'government' is trying to take Christ out of everything. taking Christ out of Christmas by calling it Xmas is one thing that really bugs me, and they call it abbreviation... thats not what i call it. no longer praying at school... there are some schools around that will not even allow children to pray. now days... if you send your children to a public school they will not get ANY biblical teaching except that that they receive at home and at church. where has God been put in our world???

in a nutshell!

Good food for thought.

good one!!! I couldn't agree more

in your time of need turn to God... in my experience... when i was so 'down' and i didn't know what to do or where to turn i turned to the Word. reading the Word of God alwayts lifted my spirits.

that was terrific and so well written... thanks for posting it snow. it is good to know there are other people who recognise the shift in Christmas celebrations.

i think that even if the first time was genuine, i personally would get baptised again. afterall in my opinion it is just like renewing of wedding vows for example. i got born again when i was 11 and baptised about 6 months later. but i got rebaptised when i was 18. nothing wrong with a rewashing.

what i don't understand is they call for this.... but then they also want to be treated as equals. i say make up your mind.

in my opinion and experience... to put it bluntly... the enemy doesn't like you praying to God, and he will do everything in his power to stop you from praying. think of the adversity as assurance that your prayers are reaching the throne room of God, and satan is not happy. also i think that the reason things seem to be going well for other - the ones not praying - aside from the fact that most of what other people see is a cover up is that satan does not feel threatened by them... they are not creating and maintaining a relationship with his enemy - God. be encouraged!!! you are doing things right... and whatever you do Don't stop Praying!!!!!!!!!!!!

that terrific snow.... we can all learn a thing or two... by just watching peoplea little closer and with a little more love and care. yes bolts

wow!!! that's all i can say. Mike showed this to me. our almost 3 year old son was in total awe, and wouldn't let us turn it off. but 15 grand!!! NO WAY!!!

i am 24 with 2 young children and am expecting my third, but long before i ever became a mother, i was more opposed to abortion than any member of my family... possibly with the exception of my mother. my brother used to question me about it and it seemed he could never understand why i was so opposed. i have always considered that the unborn baby is a precious life from the moment of conception. later, when i was pregnant for the first time i found things out, for example that the unborn baby has a heart beat from just 28 days. i personally am disgusted at people (doctors) who claim that the unborn baby is just tissue, that the mother can do with as she wishes (or is convinced to). i believe that the majority of abortions take place because doctors convince, particularly young women, that they do not have a baby inside them but just a 'lump' of tissue. i believe if these young women knew the truth many of them would not go through with it. i heard a story that a young woman went to have an abortion that failed, afterward she was taken to have an ultrasound, so she could see her baby moving, his/her heart beat, and that there really was a baby in there. please understand i am NOT opposed to the women here, but the act of abortion and the lies and deceit that go with it.

i can tell you things will chnage if you let them. when i was in high school, i was the outcast, the one no one liked. i had people who literally tried to kill me. my teachers tried to tell me it was the boys way of showing their affection (if so they needn't bother). in my last two years of high school i had my first semi-serious boyfriend (no one believed he existed). two years later, after putting God first (Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.) i went to Bible college and there met my now husband of 4 years, who thinks i am beautiful. sometimes i still have to be convinced, but hey! if he thinks i am beautiful.... who am i to argue!! you are 16 years old... give yourself to God (completely) and give yourself time.

all this talk about snow seems to be cooling me down. well in north queensland, Australia, we are in the middle of summer and experiencing 30-35C days (86-95F).

i am praying for you, your baby, and the situation... God has a plan for you and your child... i pray that you would be joined with the man God has chosen for you. it would be best for the baby if it were her daddy, but i just pray God's will in this situation. turn to God... and giver your concerns to Him.. He will guide you through.

when trying to resist the flesh... you must be strong. it won't just happen. avoid situations that provide that temptations. remember, in consideration that you WILL be married 4eva, so 4 months really isn't THAT long. i wish you both all the best

no need to be lonely... everyone is loved in Christ.

spending time together... with the Lord and also just doing things as a family. it is also a good thing to not forget to spend your quiet time with God in private. you already know that homosexuality is wrong in the eyes of God... focus on the family you have ... and pray contiually... God will give you the freedom you need.

i am praying... the only advice i can offer is that she pray and talk to someone she can trust who can also offer her some advice.

i am sorry i can't offer you any advice, but i am praying for you both.

breaking up can be hard. i am sure most of us have been there. i am now happily married but i have been in some very abusive relationships. it can take alot to get out. but when you are out and you feel so lonely, don't try to convince yourself that it wasn't all bad. give yourself some time to get over the breakup... it will take time. remember God loves you and wants the best for u!
