My friend dabbles with making movies and he is currently making a comedy about Jesus. The movie doesn't necessarily shed Jesus in a bad light, it is just like an action comedy with Jesus as a main character. Of course the story isnt biblically based, he isnt really Christian...anyway, how bad is this?...Opinions, comments?..........

IS Feng Shui compatible with Christianity? I cant imagine it is because the whole idea of putting my couch a certain way to make my life more better seems to be relying on a couch....Opinions?

i dont want him just showing up at my house but...I agree-weird is the word.

Believe me I have. He just says he likes talking. I almost demanded that we see each other once and he just gave me the usual run around about being tired and busy blah blah

Just as a matter of interest, where did you used to see each other. Was it in a place of his choosing, or yours? And what did you feel when you met him? Blessings We hung out at a little cafe or his place. It felt great, he treated me wonderfully and seemed to be really into me at the time.

Thanks all- One of the first things I think of when I think of not talking to him anymore is how I dont want him to be lonely and sad and I dont want him to not have anyone to talk to. I think I also like having that "special" role of being the one that he uses every night. I know it sounds crazy but Im just airing my thoughts.

Hi, Im talking to this guy via phone. Weve been talking for months, we used to see each other but that just ended one day because he claims he is so stressed and busy (rolls eyes) but he never fails to text me or call me pretty much every night (innocent friendly chats). Ive asked if we can see each other and he gives me the usual excuses as to why he cant and then the phone contact continues. I figure that he just is using me for phone companionship. Maybe he's bored or lonely or needs an ego boost or all of the above. Maybe he enjoys talking to me as a friend, I dont know. My guess is that I am a sort of lonely, caring and low key and humble person that maybe he finds comfortable and ever so readily available to talk to...I dont know. Part of me feels like I should just accept this and allow the phone contact to continue. Another part of me wonders if it is a good idea to end it somehow. Opinions, thoughts, ideas would be appreciated....

I find it really hard to read the OT and I dont understand most of it. Does anyone wanna have an OT bible study?

Am I in love? I think the guy in question is the most gorgeous person there is. I just want to see him and be next to him. Sounds like the song of songs....am I in love? And if I am in love, then how am I sposed to get over it since he doesnt want me?

You know when you cant breathe and breathe heavy and tears come to your eyes because you are just so scared. You are just so scared of life and what might be around the corner or how you're going to handle X or Y or Z. I get it a lot, I did just right now, I just feel so anxious sometimes, and start to think, what if-what if-what if. I get so scared. I dont want to be scared anymore.

Hi- Im not a music person. Whats one great CD that you listen to all the way through all of the time?

The romance expressed in Song of Songs is so beautiful. Clearly the two lovers thought the other one was so beautiful and couldnt wait to see each other, etc. Does such romance exist: Man and woman meet. Fall madly in love. Man woos woman. Proposes. They marry. They have two kids , live happily ever after , and are still in love. Does this really ever happen?

In the Bible it says in Genesis that Noah lived to be 950 years old, how is this possible?

I would say pray for God to give you clarity. I know I have some boundaries, I have set for whether or not I will hang out with unbelievers. God has told me to draw close to certian unbelievers and then told me to get away from others. Unfortunately I don't think there is any real clear cut answers to this. I can't put my boundaries on you because we are all different and they might not work for you. Hope that helps a little. Mixing with the wrong sorts can get you into trouble, as indeed was the case with this man. but it's something you have to do. Hehe, awesome post

Alright so the bible says not to be yoked with unbelievers. That darkness cannot fellowship with light. That we cannot be a friend to the world and to him. So then, does this mean that we are not to hang out with any non-Christians? Or how does that work exactly? I will say that it does seem that this naturally just happens because I guess non-Christians would find me weird/insane for having Christian beliefs and boundaries. So it does seem that they naturally will avoid me and not enjoy my company. However, what if I did find a non-Christian frind that was OK with my boundaries and wanted to hang out or whatever, am I to stay away from them?

UPDATE: Well i went to the church I planned on going to this morning. I got out of my car and looked around and I just did not feel good. I got in my car and drove away. Then I told myself that I was being stupid and forced myself to turn around and go back. I went back and forced myself to the front of the church again. I felt so awful though. I was surrounded by these cute girls in cute little short print dresses and across from them were cute guys huddled together. Nothing against being cute or wearing cute dresses but I couldnt wait to get on outta there. I got back in my car and drove home. I remebered there was a church by my house that was prolly in the middle of service. I decided to go and I felt much better there. It was still a little awkward since I was alone but the message was pretty enjoyable and I could still see myself going there.

What is wrong with you listening to Him instead of waiting for someone who may not come? God will guide you to where He wants you to be. well yeah its just that i just did it myself so...i dont know if God lead me...

I havent been to a church in years. Ive been waiting for God to send me some Christians because that used to be how I always found churches. Well I finally just sought one out via the net, made a call and am planning on attending a group meeting this Sunday. But Im afraid that it might be the wrong church because I sought it out? Am I supposed to keep waiting for God to send me people?

Nope.

Psa 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. No not this one. I thought there was one about how God put a person's desires into their heart to begin with. Like whatever we desire was put there by God.

I thought for certain that there was a verse that said something to the affect of: God gives you the desires that are in your heart. Please understand that I am not talking about God granting the desires of your heart but I thought there was a verse that talked about how God put certain desires in our hearts to begin with. Am I wrong? Thanks...

Yes well ive just given up, i mean, ive taken it all to mean that maybe i shouldnt want these things and maybe God just wants me to be wholly satisfied with him.

Yeah, this guy got kind of really scary. It was weird and scary. At the same time I dont know if I was representing Jesus well by how I acted.

Yes, I am not bearing any fruit at the moment. It is sad. I had a guy that has known me for about 10 years (hes not Christian) tell me that I have become something very disturbing. I think he was saying that because he knows I love Jesus and sit at home a lot and dont go out much. I dont have a job, no boyfriend, nothing. I have nothing. I live with my parents still and Im in my late twenties. I would have never imagined that my life would turn out this way. I was always a smart person who was going to go somewhere in life. And here I am living a pretty sad life. Ive tried to make some of my dreams come true but to no avail. I dont know why God is doing this to me. I have had no choice but to accept my situation and try to give myself fully over to God. I have given up on all worldly desires. Im just pretty sad and dissapointed and ... miserable. Im trying to be content in God but I cant help but wonder why I am going through this. Sometimes I think God is punishing me? Or maybe that I am really a rotten person? God said that you will know a person by their fruit, well does that mean i am dead?

Well Not a good time for me. Im at a crossroads now. I used to be a hopeless romantic and had dreams. Now Im thinking hat those things wont bring me happiness and im thinking of just devoting myself entirely to God. Im thinking of never marrying and not chasing ambition but just loving God full time. Although it is more peaceful it also does make life boring. So this is where Im at. Im confused about life and what I ought to do. Any two cents would be appreciated.
