Hmmm, I've said the same thing about the sisters.  I've mostly ran into controlling domineering women who don't submit themselves before God.  Neither do they desire to submit themselves to a man.  \nWe are living in the last days and the bible says that people in these times will not endure sound doctrine.\nIt will be harder and harder to find true servants of Christ as we get closer to His return.

No, she is just being retarded.\nIn fact it sounds like she is using her religion as an excuse not to go because maybe she just doesn't like her brother.\nShe needs to be disfellowshiped and you Witness know what I mean.

It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.\n(Matthew 5:3,32)\n   \n\nAnd the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.\n--Mark 10:2-12 \n And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart,, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, 0 wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, 0 man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.\n--I Corinthians 7:1-17 \n\n\nNow, for those who are married I have a command, not just a suggestion. And it is not a command from me, for this is what the Lord Himself has said: A wife must not leave her husband. But if she is separated from him, let her remain single or else go back to him. And the husband must not divorce his wife." I Corinthians 7:10-11, TLB\n\n\n"Why has God abandoned us?" you cry. I'll tell you why; it is because the Lord has seen your treachery in divorcing your wives who have been faithful to you through the years, the companions you promised to care for and keep. You were united to your wife by the Lord. In God's wise plan, when you married, the two of you became one person in His sight. And what does He want? Godly children from your union. Therefore guard your passions! Keep faith with the wife of your youth. For the Lord, the God of Israel, says He hates divorce and cruel men. Therefore control your passions—let there be no divorcing of your wives." Malachi 2:14-16, TLB\n\nDo not lose heart, for our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.  II Corinthians 4:17\n\n\nIf Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.            I Corinthians 15:17-22

Look her in the eye, be resolute. Then you should shout at her, "Get thee behind me, Satan. I rebuke thee." Then with Christian love , explain the foolishness of her ways. If she fails to repent, walk away from her and cast the dust off the bottom of your shoes as a witness against her.

The Oxford Annotated Bible gives the annotations for Chapter 20 of Leviticus a lead-off of "Penalties for violating the rule of the theocratic community."  The paragraph it is located in deals with various sexual relations which are prohibited and their various punishments.  To the people of the time, animals were pure property, and there was really nothing about "animal cruelty".  It also mentions that a man who has relations with both a mother and daughter, well, all three of them are to be burned to death.

Hrmm.... guess it's time to pack up my stuff and head out for Hell.  Ah well.  The funny thing about this (and I don't mean comedy funny, but things that make you go hmmm funny) is taht if instead of having a different sexual orientation we had a different colored skin, we could take him to court over it.  Like saying God hates Blacks/Indians/Chinese/middle eastern/White or whatever.  People who feel the need to spew hate in the name of whichever deity they choose to put their faith in are working of the base fact that they feel they need to back themselves up with something big and unquestionable because they know that without it, their arguement lacks not only merit, but the strentgh to stand up to a good blow (pun intended)  For those of you who like to preach like that, check out the following from an old e-mail:\n\n"Subject: The Bible and its teachings\n\nThank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other specific Biblical laws and how to follow them.\n\na) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?\n\nb) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?\n\nc) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness (Lev.15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. If I come into contact with a woman who is menstruating and she doesn't tell me until afterwards, must I kill her immediately or can I just beat her?\n\nd) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?\n\ne) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? Also, is Sabbath on Saturday as Seventh Day Adventists (Christians, like us...or are they?) or is it on Sunday as Baptists and some other faiths agree? I am beset by not knowing who to kill and when to kill them...please clarify this for me.\n\nf) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality (Lev. 18:22). I don't agree. I'm also confused about how homosexuality can be an abomination when Jonathan and David were married in the Bible (1 Samuel 18:1, 3 - 4). Here, I'll quote it - "And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword and to his bow and to his girdle." and also Ruth's relationship with Naomi is suspect, (Ruth 1:16-17) "And Ruth said to Naomi, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part three and me." Can you settle this?\n\ng) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?\n\nh) Most of my male friends get their

She should be in subjection if and I say if you are being a God fearing husband to her,you are supposed to love her as yourself, you know.If you are doing what the Lord commands you to do you should let her know that she is hindering prayers and that you can't be blessed with disobedience.Read the 3rd chapter of 1 Peter to her. I really hope you are sincere with this question because if you are one of these people just asking to slander the children of God or mock God, then God have mercy on you.

Well.... I have a problem with 1, for starters.  I don't think the 10 commandments of the bible are that hard to improve on.  Let me find a thread for you.

It is our job, our obligation to question the leaders we elect into office! It is our obligation to make sure, as the people whom they serve, do their job and keep us and our rights in mind!  \nAnd you.  You have NO right to judge who and what a true family is.  You are not God and only God can judge.  Did you forget that part of your biblical teachings.  Remember the speach about casting the first stone.  I think you need to re-read your bible.

The bible also encourages us to repent of our sins.  By reading what you wrote, I can tell that you would feel more peaceful if you fessed up about what you did. As for how to approach her, explain just as you did here.  Tell her you are a Christian and the lie has been eating at your conscience.  Ask to retake the test. God bless.

your mother is very irrational, letting your son chose his own path is just fine.  You didn't teach him to be an atheist, that was his own choice.  You hardly corrupted him, if this atheism thing is the only thing your mother believes went wrong.  She is blaming you for HIS actions, this should not be, because it is NOT your fault.  Tell her that no one can force religion on anyone, and more than likely he may have rejected christianity regardless. Most importantly, whatever your mom says, do not blame yourself, you have done nothing wrong... it is just her own distoreted perception.

That is definately a tough one to deal with. Unfortunately the answers are not what we really want to hear. You see God set up the family system to work a certain way. You see all troughout the Bible that families come in many shapes and sizes and all of the children from both or from previous honored and obeyed their current father. \n  Now the good part!  The Word indicates that when two people are wed that they shall leave their father and mother and give themselves to each other.  They have essentially become a new family unit.  In that unit the husband is set up as the spiritual leader and the woman gains profound blessings. By that you are no longer under the authority of either of your parents.  Honoring them is still important as well as honoring each other. However, obeying every whim is not necessary. \nI do not know the situation you have but I can tell you putting God first, then your husband, and then family, will really help in a lot of things.  Father in Laws may be full of good advice and wisdom but we are not bound to use it any longer.  Listen to him. Honor him by living a life worthy to his son. But do not feel like you have to be what he wants you to be. Your family should be different than theirs.

Yes,nothing is impossible for God.  He said in His Word that without FAITH it is impossible to please Him.  You, your aunt and any other born-again believers need to be in agreement(by that I mean get together by phone or in person) and state out of you mouths that this is what you are expecting, not wanting to know if He will, but expecting Him to do.  He says that we can call those things that be not as though they were.  Speak health into your aunts' body.  Did you know that God searches the world over trying to find that one with the faith that He may move on their behalf?  Once He has healed her, be sure to give Him thanks and the Glory.  I know first hand what it is like.  My mother had a brain tumor the size of a grapefruit the doctors said.  The road to her recovery wasn't instantaneous.  But I can say that thru prayer, the Lord and her doctors, 9 years later she is still here.  She is not the mother that we knew before, SHE IS BETTER.  I give God the glory and the praise for that.  I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for I know Him and who He is.   May God Bless Aunt Cee Cee and you.

Nope,it's one of those passages that I disagree with.What you quoted was one of many unethical verses in the bible.I don't believe or follow everything I read.

Not shocked not angry but a little confused. I wish I knew what church she went to. The bible is full of soldiers and warriors (and they weren't always the bad guys). David was a soldier when he killed Goliath. I just wonder who has warped her towards something like that.

just don't bother god will give her the punishment.if you try to humiliate her what will be the difference between you and her.if you really want to do something justgo and challenge her in something in which you are best and she is not.
