I think so. Likewise a Christian won't always successfully act on these fruits, although if they're listening they're usually quickly rebuked by them. This is why the word states that we are saved by grace through faith, not by works, because any man can live up to *our* standards of good...

I've thought about being a youth minister. I still do, and I think my wife would hapily assist me in that as she has a passion for helping youth - especially teens. Perhaps when we're both a bit more stable in life we will have to persue that. Actually, I'm quite sure I'm passionate about...

This topic is actuallyone of my depressing points. We share this traditional view of marriage. But one of the inherent problems with our age difference is she's just so much more advanced than I am. I know so little about life and the nature of God (compared to her, she's been into...

I'm touched by some of these responses. Sometimes I still get shocked by what real Christian fellowship is like. In previous experiences opening myself like this would have led to one public prayer in the church, and 100 little conversations about how I just need to "get over it," or how I...

This is actually a rather interesting conclusion. When I was really depressed and got all my socal interactions via the internet, I wanted to write a book on the psychology of the internet. My general finding was that everyone on the internet... all of them... are completely nuts.

Strange, I thought I commented already... You and your wife have my prayers...

We should pray first that the person will come to know Christ (assuming he hasn't considering his "fruits.") If that has already happened, however, then if it is in God's will that he get struck by lightning or by SUV... who am I to argue?

Heh. Don't they always?

I don't know. But I'm sure I don't like it.

Because you can go get your own dang cookies. ha!

I enjoy them. They make me think. And while it's easy to make statements of truth to people who already beleive the way I do, that doesn't quite prepare me for providing a witness to people who thrive on logic. That would be like why I asked my youth pastor once why we should have such faith...

I don't think I like what you are implying.

*glares as vibro* How do I know YOU aren't HER???

*gasp* Maybe Pastori doesn't exist either!!!!!!!! *begins crafting his tin-foil hat*

Holistic medicine doesn't really need to refer to using crystals and such. Actually I've neve heard it used that way before myself, I would have associated that with witchcraft. Dictionary.com defines holistic medicine as: "An approach to medical care that emphasizes the study of all...

No I didn't, what are you talking about??? :rolleyes:

Let there be Paul?

Glad to have you, brother. :)

Wait... How can be Paul be an officer if he doesn't even exist??? Isn't there some sort of rule about that?? I mean, I exist and nobody even asked me!

Me too! But I can't take it at the moment, because I'm testing my drugs and altering doseages, and it might make me look unusually hyper, which would indicate I didnt have ADD (if the response was caused by the drugs themselves.) I do intend to buy and consume an entire case when it won't...
