I absolutely agree with you on this even though there was a time when I was younger that I would have argued against it. There is right and there is wrong, 'shades of gray' is when you don't know the difference. Or maybe when you don't want to know the difference.

Perhaps you would gain more by being introspective than defensive. I have found that sincerely asking God to show me the truth about myself offers solutions to many of my dilemmas, and is also something that, knowing I will get an answer, is very difficult to do. It takes great courage to do...

And what of women? Do they not have to deal with such things?

So what is the Biblical reference you use to establish that 'shade of gray' thing and what did Jesus teach about it? Personally, I've never found anything Jesus said -or that the Bible says- to be ambiguous and subject to interpretation according to what your desire for it to mean is at the...

Now that's a good question. If we are not under the law, then Christianity legitimizes lawlessness and Christians are free to participate in all the moral degeneration and unsound doctrine we see in the Church today, even to the extent of some major sects embracing homosexuality, lesbianism...

Watching Church sermons on TV in pursuit of a Godly life would certainly not be a sin, but how about watching shows that portray sin -everything from magic and witchcraft to sexual deviance- as good, acceptable and even desirable? Would you consider watching things like men kissing men, women...

I'm not angry, I just made a suggestion. And where do you come to the belief that anger is a sin anyway? Again, consider my suggestion.

Or maybe you do. Think about it.

How do we know he clothed Eve's chest?

There is a difference between a criticism and an accusation. You might benefit by learning to discern the difference.

That's an interesting question, one I don't have a ready answer for. I imagine it would take a good understanding of the cultures and times involved to fully discern it, the lines between the two seem to be a bit blurred and not readily apparent as near as I can tell. There are also different...

Either way you have a Master. You serve his purpose rather than he yours.

I have little to no faith in modern prophets, particularly those who gain wealth and fame through their prophecy.

Planet1246: What do you actually believe? Can you articulate it and also why you believe that way?

There is an old (American) Country and Western song that goes "Looking for love in all the wrong places ...... ". Could just as easily been sung "Looking for God in all the wrong places" and been true for many of us. When you pray, do you know what you are really praying for? Are you praying...

Curious, why are you looking for a non denominational Church home? Is there something you personally find lacking or unfulfilled in the Polish Catholic Church or are you wanting to see what other Christian beliefs are and what they could mean or add to you? Or something else entirely? Aside...

I suppose the OP would need to clarify that. But my take would be an enemy, as in a soldier being killed by a hostile while on guard duty or maybe like an innocent person being killed by a hostile crowd of political rioters, etc. Words frequently have multiple meanings and nuances which often...

Yeah, I see that could be the case. I try to allow for the OP being in Sweden and not fully familiar with conversing in English yet so I looked at hostile in relation to the rest of the sentence as meaning physically attacking, which would be one of the English meanings of it in a dictionary...

The original Hebrew word used for kill is "ratsach" which has the contextually appropriate meaning as being the deliberate taking of an innocent life (murder). I doubt that that would mean that someone trying to kill or do serious bodily harm to you or someone else would fall into the category...

You didn't say how your life has been negatively affected by Trump (who has only been in office two months in case you have forgotten and confused him with the prior administration). You make many accusations against him, are you willing to go before God at judgment with them? That is what a...
