Should I give up on being a Christian?

Since I have been a Christian, I have experienced some moments of intense joy , but so much more hypocrisy and dissapointment. My inner conflict between my natural and 'spiritual' natures is depressing, guilt laden and painfull, with no hope of it getting any better. I am in despair, and feel it would be better to just drop the relationship with God thing entirely...I am sick of getting it so wrong and feeling bad all the time, as well as being told that it is wrong to feel bad about it. Advice please?

Have you ever been in a fistfight? (need more answers)?

So I have to qualify that a bit - have you ever been in a fistfight when you were OVER the age of 15 and NOT with a family member. My friend says that he thinks most guys HAVEN'T. I'm not so sure..

Where from do you derive the power to IGNORE things that a sensitive person CAN'T ignore?

There are things you CAN ignore, and others that you CAN'T ignore. What if the things that you CAN'T ignore are at its best if you IGNORE them. How can you empower yourself to have enough power, forgiving strength and the type of patience to IGNORE the UN-IGNORABLE things around you.

Are hobos more free than the rest of us?

Or less so?

I think, knowing you can get that far, not being stuck to a house or to anyone in particular... That is liberating.

But, at the other end of the spectrum, with money comes freedom.

Am I Considered a Threat and a Criminal?

All my Threads are for phsycological purposes only. I know the Answers to them all, but I like to see Public Views for my own Research of Americans, and People. Remember that.

1. I wake up in the Morning do breakfast and Send the Kid off to School.
2. Do Lots of Chores as I live 22 Miles Deep into the Forest.
3. Do Landscaping, Building, and Auto Work
4. Spend GREAT AMOUNTS OF TIME IN THE WOODS walking my Pit Bull, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and English Springer Spanniel.
5. Spend Countless Hours in the Woods for Relaxation, Privacy, Therapy, Observation, and Exercise.
6. Speed SOME when I drive because other drivers are Distracking, Careless, Hogging the Road, Weaving, Swearving, CONSTANTLY STARING AT YOU IN THE REAR VIEW WHILE SPIKING BRAKES, or Following Cops at speeds over 90mph for Fun, finding they only drive like that to just go and turn around and do it again.

7. Teach my kids some skills involving Sports, Nature, and Survival.
8. Baby-Sit other Kids

I asked a question why girls prefer taller men and a Muslim lady responded....?

This is when the instinct kicks in. It may not at all be intentional, but women prefer men who can protect them. It's part of our survival instinct we've picked up over the past million years or so, lol. Woman gentle and caring, man strong and fit. Of course we do tend to sway off that path and fall for the shorter, or thinner, or scrawny types, as personality certainly plays a huge factor in the opinions of many women (like us; my husband's 2" shorter, lol, although I am 6').

AND I RESPOND:

AND I ASK WHAT DO WOMAEN NEED TO BE PROTECTED FROM? IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD AND ARE ALL LOVING WHAT DO WOMAN NEED TO BE PROTECTED FROM? PERHAPS THEIR OWN SELFISHNESS?

why is premarital sex a sin?

In Galatians 5:22-23...

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

Does that not mean that the Spirit is a supporter of these things? And that as long as something is done in 'love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance', there is no law against that?

So if a couple is in love with each other, permartial sex should not have a law against it?

It is highly probable that God wanted no sex before marriage back then as people did not date, and would therefore not have had experienced love until they are together by marriage. So this law was made such that it may actually mean 'no sex without love'?
