I have been in the ministry for 30 plus years, so I am asking this as a Christian Pastor, Shepard, Leader, Counsel, what ever title you choose to use.

I Know I am going to catch flak for this but: Some of the questions on here “outline” like they are sincere. Then when you click to them, the question is really a nasty sexual question or remark.

Most of the time, the answers are just as nasty and sinful as the questions.

Now as a Christian and Pastor I really don’t care how non-Christians answer, but as a Christian and a Pastor it is my job and duty to call people who use the title of “Christian” to account.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13 (NLT)
9 When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. 10 But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or who are greedy or are swindlers or idol worshipers. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. 11 What I meant was that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a Christian yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Don’t even eat with such people. 12 It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your job to judge those inside the church who are sinning in these ways. 13 God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.”

I look at the profiles of the people who answer those nasty questions or remarks and the profiles say things like “I’m a Pastor” or “I am the leader of a Christian Prayer group” or “I am a true Christian serving God”

THE QUESTION I AM ASKING is this:

1. Do you really believe you are being like Christ when you make your nasty little funnies? (or)
2. Do you think it is ok because you believe once saved always saved?

In other words, what in the world makes you think it is ok for a Christian to behave this way?

This is what the First Admendment says:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Speration of church and state is not even in our constituion. Why do some many people say it is?

I have heard so many times from various Christians that I must believe in this or that to go to heaven or avoid hell.

What about telling me how by following your particular religion I will be a better person, a more productive member of society, and happier.

Maybe your message would come across better that instead of tempting me damming me with something I cannot relate to that you give me something real and tangible.

I have never met a person that changed their beliefs because of what would happen to them in death, but I have met many that changed because they were happier and better people than they were before.

Though small in comparison to others, I could use prayer please. I am going to the dentist tomorrow and getting a root canal. Seems I can never get use to sitting in that chair. I get extreme anxiety and it is overpowering. Please, would you mind praying for me to be calm and free from anxiety to sit peacefully through the procedure? I do appreciate any prayers. I would also like to ask for prayer for my family. My family is going through a divorce. My little sister and brother are struggling....please pray for their faith to be strong and their spirits to be strong. My name is Angelina, there's are Nicole and Vince. Thank you!

People who find it hard to believe in God, when was the last time you actually read the bible through and took the time too understand the meaning of the words?
I dont mean when ur a kid, because your boundry of reality was small so there were a lot of things to learn then and concentration could slip easily.
Maybe now is a good time to understand it? Or even just to see what all the fuss is about? It explains a lot, it may not make you believe, but i do believe it can make some peoples life happier.

If not why?

God on your money!
God is the one who holds the moon, the stars and the whole universe in place.
If it weren't for Him you wouldn't be here today, He knew your name before you were ever thought of.
Who are you to think you can scratch God out with a Sharpie?

Morally, I feel he needs to leave our church. The sooner the better. Friendships in the church are being broken apart. Not talking with each other anymore. Alot of damage being done. I think he should leave town NOW, so we can repair the damage he caused. It is hard to listen to his sermons on Sundays, knowing what he has done. And he has no remorse for what he has done. Hasn't appologized at all. He did confess to the congregation, but pretty much put the blame on to those of us who caught him doing wrong!! What should we do? Where do we turn?
