Laces Out Dan

Yeah, afterall He did create us, and love us, and give us anything we'll ever need. I just thought of another question when I read that... Since God is a spirit, God is love, why do we call Him He? I know that it doesn't sound right to call Him it, or she, but I am not sure why we use Him. Is it becuase we have nothing else to call Him?

I know you are supposed to capitalize God's name, and everything referring to him, like Him, the Light, the Christ... But what if you are talking about you and God in the pronoun we? If I just say we then it feels like I'm degrading God, but if i spell it We, then it sounds wrong too. What is it suppose to be?

yeah i can often get rid of the thought as soon as i think it, but sometimes i just dwell on it, becuase its just something that i want so bad. but yet my heart doesnt. its like a battle

im so glad everyone wants to give advice hahah

I can't seem to find a way to get impure thoughts about women out of my head. I can just be sitting in a classroom at school and glance at a girl and BAM. sin. im sure you can all relate to me, and i just would like to know how to get rid of those thoughts for good.

yeah your right...its never to late to walk with Christ again, right?

Yeah i do like the way you term that. haha play dough in the sky. It's so amazing that God created everything. Just think of yourself for example, think of all the cells and bacterica that live inside you. A LOT. and we are so small compared to everythign else. God is awesome for real

haha yeah the villan got really mad because she/he lost the game and blamed it on dan marino for holding it the wrong way. i cant remember if thats exactly how it goes but its something like that. Thanks much:) i am kinda glad that i can talk to people who are christians. I get encouragement when i go to church, but like on a monday night when i have had a hard day, i can come on here and talk about. or if i have a question or something. i think its pretty awesome i wonder if anyone on here has a myspace?

I hope:) it really seems like i keep growing in the spirit, and then i question more and more and i just get the munchies for His word. I love it i love it i love it Actually i got it from two things. its a song name for one my favorite bands, and they got it off of Ace Ventura: pet detective i think. Dan Marino And i just used that screen name because my name is dan and it just sounds kinda catchy haha.

Wow thanks so much for all these. I cant even type as fast as i can think. maybe i am growing spiritually? I have a youth group, but its kinda far and i only get there every other week if that. I will definitely look into some of those books. To be completely honest, i cant stop smoking cussing.... i know its like shocking to see that on a christian forum. But like you i have a low- self esteem, and often i am anxcious about school and what people think of me. I dont act liek it though, and thats why i starting smoking. I know i hate it so much. I have to sneak out side, that is lying to my parents for one, and then smoke just to feel better, then i go inside and read my bible! that isnt a normal combination! and i know even when i am smoking its wrong and i feel bad, but i cant even function unless i have one Thank you for listening, and thanks for letting me be so honest.

maan by the time i figure out what i am going to say, and by the time i type it, someone else posts before me:)

Yeah sure, I'm 14. ive been a christian my whole life. It used to be easy to understand, whatever my parents tol dme i believed, and i had many really awesome experiences at church.. That is how i know God is real, because i can feel him. But lately(about a year) ive been questioning everything ive been handed, and so far God actaully answers and i still believe. I usually just use search engines to find out what people think about certain things, i read aobut different religions. I am trying to find out for myself that God is all that the bible says. And lightwait... I like talking aobut this stuff, and i like learning from wise people. God bless you

The idea is to work it out. There are many people on this forum that I am sure will come to your aid. I for one am a renegade in theology. I will explain. I believe what I am about to say to you but I do not believe anyone else is so I suggest you pay me no mind. Jesus is the beginning and the ending. We are in Christ and he is in us. Jesus, except for the Father, is all in all. Jesus is ascended far above the heavens so we are in Him. The words, "In the beginning..." mean what they say. Remember Jesus is the beginning. "In" is the operative word. In the Greek the word for "In" is "en" in the term "en arche" (in the Septuagint

I have an example, i was reading the bible a couple months ago, and i came across a verse 1 Corinthians 11:14 Does not the native sense of propriety itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is a dishonor to him... And i was sort of confused because of Sampson and his long hair. But then i read it again and noticed he said "native sense of propriety" and doesn't that mean their customs at the time... That's what i meant when i said that. Also a lot of parables Jesus tells are of back then, I'm not saying they aren't true. But, when i read them i just take what he says and try to see it as another example in modern day so i can understand the message better. For some reason, as i was typing that, God told me that I shouldn't worry about the creation and every single detail, becuase that just confuses me and I lose focus. Is that god? or is that myself talking to me?

When i go to the upload page, it doesnt have anything for me to select! anyone know what to do? i am probably just missing the big button that says "UPLOAD" Thanks
