Because it's something clearly described and outlined in the Bible, why is it so hard to wait?

of her first 3 children. At the time I was much more religious and spiritually active than she was, having been privately and quietly following a set path since I was 7. She was an atheist, but her husband's family were Christian. She was ok with my beliefs. I accepted, considering it an honor. While I was overseas, she and her husband became, overnight, Born-Again, right wing, religious fanatics. They end every piece of correspondence with lines like, "we pray daily for your salvation so you don't burn in the fiery pit forever", and have even gone so far as to accuse me of being an Anti-Christian when I quietly explained I found a place in a Unitarian community. Bottom line- she makes me extremely uncomfortable now, I find her views and condescending attitude repugnant, and I avoid her. I do not necessarily wish to say this to her, becasue I am hoping she will one day accept me back as who I am, for the children's sake. She now has 4. What would you do?

Deut 14:22-27
22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the LORD your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the LORD will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.

Jesus said that it's better to avoid sex. He did. If we love him we should try to follow him. But--weak Christians can marry--because it is better
to burn in hell of passion to marry. But won't you suffer for Christ's sake and resist these evil temptation. Please, if you are single and celibate--avoid masturbation. Repression is sometimes like prayer.
It's self-suffering for the sake of your love for Christ Jesus. He died for you in Cross. You should repay him back.Even if guys are apparently "just using it as a form to release stress". I'm sorry, but God has provided many other ways to relieve stress other then pleasuring yourself sexually. And that's the thing, if you are touching your genitals, you are doing something sexual! And God has made it clear, that REAL purity is not just keeping from sex before marriage, but it is keeping away from anything that is sexually gratifying. The ONLY sexual activity that is alright in God's eyes is for a couple only in marriage. The truth about it is that we dont have the RIGHT to think about sex/watch shows of people having sex/listen to people talking about sex, anything that has to do with sex!!! We dont have that right because we are not married! The only kind of sex that is okay in God's eyes is sex in the marriage bed.

Liberals and Feminist Devils are distorting our society and norms. They are making women crazy whores. They are introducing strange laws and ideas contrary to our Holy Scriptures. How come a husband rapes his wife?
God tells men to love their wives as their own bodies, so a Christian man would not want to hurt his wife.
However, a husband can not rape his wife. She permanently gave her body to him at the marriage altar. If she witholds sex from her hubby then she is disobeying God and depriving him, and he has every right to have sex with HIS wife. Just as she has every right to have sex with her hubby. The Bible says that once you get married, your bodies belong to your spouse. I hate it when people say stuff about men raping their wives. It is not rape if you use something that was permanently given to you.

I"m a christian myself and dont have anything against pastors, but one day I was curious to know what do they all do with all the church tithes? I heard most of them keep in in their bank accounts and use it on materialistic things, like cars, houses, planes. I had one pastor who said that he was planning on buying two jet planes and a bigger house? I mean, what for? Why not use all that money for church members who really need it? There are alot of poor christians who really need a house or a car real badly or money for groceries. Alot of christians sacrifice their tithes and offerings for a blessing from God. Money that they have really worked hard for and it all goes to pastors who want to use it on materialistic things instead of using that money for christians who need money really bad. I remember the pastor who wrote the book, "THE PURPOSE DRIVEN", that helped Brian Nichols, the Atlanta judge killer to turn himself in. He said that he only uses God's money for souls, not junk.

It is all but impossible to prove the source of all. Yet, for the sake of debate, which of the following choices proves most logical:

1) All in nature existed eternally

2) Something in the natural existance is the source of all that ever existed in the natural, (including by evolution)

3) Something beyond nature, and with NO intelligence, is the source of all in nature

4) Something beyond nature, and with intelligence, is the source of all in nature

5) Some other conclusion, (although no other conclusion can be formed without some sort of redundancy).

Please, explain your logic and reason for your conclusion. Logic and reasoning is key, NOT zealousness.

Thank you for any and all answers.
