    Discussion on Suicide

    Actually, often times with terminal diseases, the body shuts down and food cannot be processed any more. I've seen numerous people die from cancer and at some point towards the end, they just stop eating. Their body is finished and if you tried to force them to eat, their body would reject it...

    Discussion on Suicide

    I agree with the others that yes, it is a sin and I believe that obviously if it is a sin, the person dies with unconfessed/unrepentant sin. But I also know a number of people who have taken their life and I know that it was not a rash decision nor was it a decision that came out of "sane"...

    Wow. So the man who wasn't married for many years has nothing to say about being single because he's now married? Interesting.

    How do you know with certainty that you are saved?

    Try to get outside at lunch then. Seriously - if I don't get a little daylight in my eyes, I go bonkers really quickly - and I don't have a struggle with depression! I know many friends have said that even a 10 minute walk outside helps a lot - no matter how hot or cold it is. :)

    I agree with TCassidy. Don't just go by name but check out others that you might not be sure about. A few churches that I'm familiar with that are absolutely solid theologically are known as Generations Church, Restoration Church, Grace Church, Rock Church, Church on the Sound, Church at the...

    That would be sinning since he is married.

    Requesting elder authority/support regarding street evangelism

    If living single all of your life is plain hell, then there is something wrong. A very wise pastor once taught us that if you can't be happy by yourself, you won't be happily married.

    How do you know with certainty that you are saved?

    It could very well be that the physical/chemical issues are affecting your spiritual life. Have you been able to be outside and get some physical exercise? I find that helps a LOT with my mind and my soul. It's seriously like an anti-depressant for me! I know it doesn't fix everything but it...

    It's called a roommate. You don't need to buy a house - it's not a life requirement.

    How do you know with certainty that you are saved?

    That's when you just have to tell God as your Father that you are having trouble and to please hold you through this time of doubt. He'll do it. He's strong enough. :) When my daughter was diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor at 21 years old, I had a bit of a time with God. I remember...

    How do you know with certainty that you are saved?

    Remember Peter on the water? His faith was VERY shaky but it was not enough to sink him. Jesus saved him and He didn't let him go.

    Keener or the Bible? Your choice. Both aren't right when they contradict. Actually, not even the Bible. Jesus. Jesus spoke the words I wrote. So it's Keener or Jesus. Choose wisely.

    Let's say this one more time. NO YOU CAN'T. Matthew 19:9 "And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”" You can take that argument up with God.

    Requesting elder authority/support regarding street evangelism

    You've told us plenty and the bottom line is that no matter what, you should not be looking for another woman within weeks of your divorce being finalized. You messed up with the first marriage when people warned you not to get married but you went ahead and did it anyway. Now, unfortunately...

    Requesting elder authority/support regarding street evangelism

    Were you a good husband to her? Did you sacrificially love her as Christ loved the church? How much abuse has Christ taken from us and yet still stayed with us? I've counseled many women in abuse situations and in the majority of cases, they have stayed unless it was a physical abuse...

    Requesting elder authority/support regarding street evangelism

    It might be grounds for separation and it might be grounds for divorce. It IS grounds for criminal prosecution and much prayer and trusting God that He can make all things new. But it still does not allow for remarriage, which is called "adultery" in the Bible unless the marriage ended due to...

    Requesting elder authority/support regarding street evangelism

    Oh and for those who allow for abuse (I've helped women get away from their abusive husbands after they had their jaw broken, eyeball almost punched out of their head and their hair ripped out - THAT is abuse) do NOT allow for remarriage.
