When the rapture comes (ahem) I don't want a christian driving the bus I'm travelling on, for example. In fact it would be dangerous for a christian to operate any vehicle while others are on the road just in case, wouldn't it?

Hi!

I have two female spayed kittens of age 7 and 8 months.

The last thing I want for them is to go overweight.

If I feed them every day a total of a can of Natural Balance (6oz) wet food and 1/2 cup of "premium" dry food, is that alright or too little?

Please advise. Thank you.

Anyways my grandad died about 20 years ago when i was just a baby. I was told he sold Willie Nelson a car in nashville just before he hit it famous. I would love to meet him to know if he actually knew my grandad. I didn't know him much but that man means the world to me. What do i do about meeting him?

For about a month I have been having abdominal pains.
They come and go all over the stomach.
*I pretty much always have a bad pain on the right side ( where appendix is) I have had mine out
* The pain has recently come on to the left side too
* Pains up and down the right side of abdomen that come and go
* The pain near appendix is at its worst just before I empty bowels and after
* There has been blood in my stool three times
* I barely have to empty bowels. I mainly only empty them every four days because I dont need to go ( I dont have to strain/ push when I go/ it is all very easy except for pain near appendix
* Pain on inner top right thigh (not all the time)
* most of the aches in stomach are dull
* It hurts to push in on certain areas
*no appetite - after 1 bite i am full

I have been to 3 doctors and they are all baffled. One has ordered a colonoscopy but he doesn't think it will achieve anything.
Has any1 been through this?? Or know what my symptoms represent??

The announcement of divorce by Pastor Randy and Paula White and the public beating of his wife by Bishop Thomas Weeks III has really shown that many in the body of Christ do not understand the importance of a successful marriage as a FOUNDATION to those who are pastors.

Because many in the body of Christ do not understand how severe these two incidents are, many people within the body are taking on THE WRONG understanding of marriage and its relationship to ministry.

For all of those in ministry and entering into ministry please know, understand, and live according to the principle that MARRIAGE TAKES THE PRIORITY OVER MINISTRY. As ministers of the gospel who are married and who are entering in marriage, we can not live contrary to this simple but great truth. Many of us will preach this truth to others and acknowledge it in our minds. But, HOW MANY OF US WILL PUT MINISTRY ON HOLD WHEN OUR MARRIAGES NEED TENDING TO?

It is my firm belief that if Randy and Paula White would have put ministry on hold to focus on the healing of their marriage, instead of trying to do both, they would not have been announcing their divorce. Please understand that though my words may appear to be harsh, I am saying them in the spirit of meekness. My wife and I will have been married 7 years on September 1st this year. I know the temptation of neglecting family in my attempts to focus on ministry first hand. But, the truth that we often forget as ministers of the Gospel and the Word of God is that IF WE DON'T FIRST SATISFY THE NEEDS OF OUR FAMILY, GOD WILL NOT BLESS OR ACCEPT THE WORK WE DO IN MINISTRY.

But, many will say to that last statement in all caps, "Paula White's ministry is blessed in spite of her marriage." And my response would be, "You don't know what blessed is."

There is a great confusion in the body of Christ about what it is to truly be blessed. Many people confuse being prosperous in business with having a blessed ministry. Many people confuse having many members in a church with having a blessed ministry. Many people confuse having world-wide notoriety with being blessed. Many people confuse having a booked schedule with being blessed. What many people do not understand is that you can have ALL of these things and still not be blessed or have a blessed ministry.

For, the true blessing of God to one who is married, whether they be a minister or not, serves the purpose of the family. It NEVER undermines the family structure or causes the breakup of the family. In fact, it is the blessing of the family that causes one's ministry to be truly blessed.

For, it is marriage that is our physical representation of the relationship between Christ and the church.

Let us consider the following passage of scripture.

Eph 5:22-32 BBE Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as of the Lord. (23) For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body. (24) And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things. (25) Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it; (26) So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word, (27) And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete. (28) Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself: (29) For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church; (30) Because we are parts of his body. (31) For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. (32) This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church.


If you read all of what is written above, you will see by the words I underlined that every commandment given to the husband and wife was given in light of how Christ relates to the church and how the church relates to Christ. The secret or the mystery that most people don't understand is that marriage between husband and wife, for the believer, is the very image of the relationship between Christ and the church. THAT is the reason why those in ministry must hold their marriages high above their work in the ministry. For, if their marriage does not properly display the relationship between Christ and the church, then they have no true living testimony to back up what they are teaching and preaching.

This is why, concerning those who are to be considered to be elders/bishops in the church, Paul says the following to Titus.


Tit 1:5-6 KJVR For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: (6) If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.


The FIRST few things Paul tells Titus to look for in one who is fit for the position of bishop is being blameless, the husband of one wife, and having faithful children not accused of riot or being unruly. These are the FIRST and FOUNDATIONAL things that one MUST have in order to even be CONSIDERED for ministry as a pastor/bishop/elder. (According to the scripture's account, a pastor is both a bishop and an elder. A bishop is an elder and a pastor. They all denote the same position but they each describe a different function or aspect of the same position.)

Why is it that the scripture makes a successful family life the requirement for those who are to be in church leadership (as clearly seen in the above scriptural text), but many in the body think it is perfectly fine to follow pastors and support pastors in there moves to continue in there positions when they are NOT succeeding in family life?


Consider what the apostle Paul had to say about the importance of a successful family life as a foundation for those who are to be bishops when he wrote to Timothy.


1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;


Once again, he also tells Timothy that a bishop MUST BE the husband of one wife. But, Paul had more to say concerning what a bishop must be later on.


1Ti 3:4-5 KJVR One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (5) (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)


Do you see what is written above. This is why all of us who are in ministry must make sure that our family is taken care of if we desire to be blessed in our ministries to the church. The apostle Paul has set the standard that THE FIRST AND FOREMOST MINISTRY OF ANYONE IN MINISTRY IS TO THEIR FAMILY.

If our marriages are in shambles, then we MUST put our ministries on hold until our marriages are in such a state that they TRULY exemplify the relationship between Christ and the church.

If we fail to do this, then examples like Randy and Paula White, and Thomas Weeks III and Jaunita Bynum will be the result of such failure.

And when such failure is on display by the media to the world, the implications are so much bigger than many realize. The reason the apostle Paul made it a MUST for a bishop to be the husband of one wife is because the bishop should not only be able to testify, preach, and teach about having a fruitful relationship with Christ as a member of the church, he must also exemplify it in action and in deed. THE ONLY WAY TO DEMONSTRATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH IS BY MEANS OF A HUSBAND LOVING HIS WIFE AS CHRIST LOVES THE CHURCH AND A WIFE SUBMITTING TO HER HUSBAND AS UNTO THE LORD. The pastor is required by the apostle Paul to not only teach by word how to love our Lord. He is also required to exemplify this in deed by means of his relationship with his wife.

When we encourage pastors to continue in their positions of leadership in the church when they are failing in their marriages, we are undermining the very standards that are put in place for leaders in the church that the scriptures themselves have established. And that is exactly what I have witnessed when reading the responses of many people who are members of Bishop Weeks' church, Pastor Randy White's church and many of the faithful followers of Paula White.

It is time that we become knowledgeable of the biblical standards for the pastors put in place in our churches, require that all those desiring the position of pastor meet them, and require that all those presently in that position meet those standards if they are to remain in those positions.

We have got a lot of work to do.


- Titus

The reason for this is because there was some hearsay about him still being married to this woman...even though we have been living together for the pass 3 years and was dating 3 years. He did tell me when i met him that they were divorce. however some suspicious **** has been going on with his baby momma and his 14 year old daughter. rather not go into detail but.. is there a way i can obtain marriage records to protect.. actually we talked about marriage in the pass, but having so many financial problems couldnt quite get around to it.

I am a birthmom and I think adoption is wonderful IF done for the RIGHT reasons. But you hear so many people come through Answers and ridicule young women who are thinking about placing their unborn child ("You make it, you keep it." and "If you don't want the responsibility, get an abortion"). While I know there are agencies and lawyers who are unethical and co-erce expectant moms, fail to properly inform the expectant father, and lie to prospective adoptive parents, what of those who do everything right? What about those of us who KNEW we were in no way capable of caring for a child, no matter how much we loved them? What about those couples who could not have babies of their own and are overjoyed when the expectant mother picks them? No money is exchanged. Just lots of tears and hugs and happiness. My little girl is three months old. I just recently got a pic. I have never seen such a happy and healthy little girl. They love her as much as I love her.
