    Americans attitude toward counseling

    Because it is viewed as a sign of weakness. As a counselor myself I have run across this attitude some. I would have been interested to see more about that attitude and if it is more pronounced in some areas than others. In the county where i work, the southern part of the county is less...

    Americans attitude toward counseling

    "Millions of Americans face mental illness each year. Yet the stigma surrounding mental health and therapy persists, despite the fact that Americans—especially Christians—who see a counselor have overwhelmingly positive experiences with the practice. In a new study, Barna looks at how Americans...

    Do not love the world

    1 John 2:15-17 says this "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world...

    Asking Loved Ones to Pray for Us

    Your point #4 says this "The Roman Catholic Church invites believers to seek the prayers of Christians now more fully living in Heaven, asking them to pray to God with me." which seems to be a contradiction to what you have earlier said

    purpose of the transfiguration

    In Matthew 17:1-3 it says "After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared...

    For what purpose do denominations build icons and statues

    I'm getting a little tired of you calling it a flame when it is not. Just because you disagree with something doesn't mean it is a flame. As far as what the Catholic church teaches I will have to take your word for it since I am not going to read a 800 page book. I hope you are right, but I...

    Asking Loved Ones to Pray for Us

    No, it is not the same. You were blasted for suggesting that it is okay to pray to those who have physically died and are in heaven. It is not exactly the same.

    For what purpose do denominations build icons and statues

    Technically it is not unknowable because we could research it and contact some Catholic priests and find out for sure. That would for sure be an interesting conversation. Jesus also talked to demons before he cast them out of people, but didn't sin. That doesn't mean i go around talking to...

    They could be watching you

    I would say if someone is watching me from the street they must be bored to death by now

    For what purpose do denominations build icons and statues

    Just as a side note I will tell you that these days I am having a problem with fatigue and don't have the energy to talk in circles. When I perceive myself as doing so I am going to cut that conversation short after I have made my point. It is not running from the issues. It is that I don't...

    Asking Loved Ones to Pray for Us

    James 5:16 says "Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." Praying for others is an act of love and is consistent with the verse above and others in scripture.

    How did you find your spouse?

    At the time i was working at a church and decided to organize the church library. I asked for people to help me do this and my wife volunteered. We got to know each other while cataloging and organizing the library which is a tedious and long process. She actually asked me out first because...

    For what purpose do denominations build icons and statues

    I'm a little offended that you have to even ask if I believe Jesus is the sinless Son of God. No, I don't believe Jesus sinned at all. I would think you would know that by now about me. Please don't insult me like that again. Furthermore, I didn't say nor have I ever said that those who die...

    For what purpose do denominations build icons and statues

    No, I don't disagree. The issue is whether or not you should be praying to those who have passed away. No doubt that those who are in heaven are alive. The issue is that nowhere in the Bible are we told to communicate with them or pray to them. Our intercessor is Jesus and the one who helps...

    For what purpose do denominations build icons and statues

    I would have to side with Mennosota on this one. Adding someone who is dead to your prayers is talking to the dead and is spiritism at best which is forbidden in the Old Testament. I don't see anywhere in the Bible where it even suggests that I should pray to the dead. Please give me a...

    I am the light of the world.

    If we are lights as he is it is only because we reflect Him. That implies that we are spending time with God and depending on Him. Much like the moon is just a big rock in the sky and doesn't glow by itself but is reflecting the light from the sun.

    You are the salt of the Earth.

    It really would be impossible to make a generalized statement that Pentecostals or any group are more influential or more trusted because they are growing. I believe we are living in an age that the Bible speak of when people will gather teachers for themselves to tell them what their ears want...

    Why are some Christians so consumed with their denomination?

    Unless your spying on all of us, how would you know which a person does? You wouldn't. And as I said already in another post, nobody died and made you judge of another believer. Josiah, Tango and others on here don't answer to you. You seem to think they do
