I am a Christian woman and when I began to date my husband he was a strong Christian man. He had some down falls in life, loosing a job and not finishing up with school. And began to change. He began drinking and becoming abusive physicly and emotionaly neglectful. I do not feel he is the same person any more. He has renounced him belifes in God and says he dosn't condier himself a Christian any longer.

I have been going to counsling, yet he refuses to go with me. He says we don't really have any problems. I am afraid to talk to him. I am afraid to leave him because of the abuse.

We have only been married for 2 years. We are both in our mid 20's and have no children. I know Biblicly the only grounds for divorce is audultry. But nothing is working. I've been praying so hard and we've even tried a seperation and it was a failure.

I find myself starting to notice other men. And I feel terably guilty for that. What should I do? Is divorce ok? Will God curse me?

Not many Christians want to discuss the apparent contradiction between the genealogies of Matthew and Luke. Many Christians raise the defense that the genealogy of Luke is actually referring to Mary. When in all actuality this cannot be the case it would seem since Mary's name is never mentioned. What are your thoughts?

I have been studying the cross lately and came across some interesting things.
Constantine the Great called the 1st Christian Emperior was a Pagan high preist who did not convert to Christianaty untill on his death bed.
He introduced the trinity and the cross to the Christian church , apx 320 years after Jesus died .
Is this the begining of the coruption of what Jesus taught ?
Why did Jews and Christians believe in one God untill then ?
Why does Islam agree with the Jews on this point ?
Why did Constantine introduct the Pagan cross ?
Why did Christians stop believeing in Jesus was gods son and god was the head of the christ until this point ?

we have seen thousands of fossils of human like mammals that have slowly changed over the last 4 million years. to what we are today. this is a fact. if you take a fossil of a neanderthal and place it in the hand of anyone and ask them if it is real. they will all say yes. ask, is not faith the belief in something without proof. they will point to books that all say the world is 6,000 years old, flat, stars hang from golden chains, the adam and eve story, the tower of babel. people built a tower almost up to heaven. noah loaded up hundreds of mllions of animals on a tiny boat. should a all powerful, all knowing god allow a devil to mislead me? no! if he did. it would be the gods fault ,not mine. do we really need anything other than the golden rule? do unto others as you would have others do unto you. as i would not like to be killed so i should not kill, as i would not like my property stolen then i should not steal. instead of this.we have books of fairy-tales.

Leviticus says he can't. "Leviticus 20:21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless." Does this mean I can bang away at my sister-in-law with out worrying that she will get pregnant? After all the Bible is never wrong.

I've noticed that not everyone is aware that there have been some changes to what physicians consider the range for normal blood pressure readings. My husband and I are trying to change some of our habits, especially getting more excercise. His blood pressure is higher than it should be.

I found this quiz as I was answering a question in the Health section, and thought you all might like to give it a try:

All too often, when I try to "do unto others as I would have them do unto me," it ticks them off. Is it just because I'm a little weird, or is it because we're all different (imagine an extravert trying to cheer up an introvert, for instance).

Not that I'm a Christian anymore, but I'm asking as someone who tries to treat people well.

Do other gods exist because of love--worshippers love their god? Do gods die when no love is shown them?

I love to watch documentaries, especially ones about animals. Well I recall watching a documentary about this scientific couple who reared a chimpanzee in their home in Africa. The couple treated said chimpanzee like family, taught it sign language, and of course unwillingly taught it human habits. Well this chimpanzee was a male and eventually grew up to maturity. At that point, the chimpanzee became obsessed with the wife. Several times it tried to mate, uh excuse me have intercourse with her. When her husband came close to her, the chimpanzee would attack him. Sadly, they had to reeducate this lovelorn chimpanzee back into the wild.

So why do you think, she rejected the chimpanzee's advances? Perhaps the chimpanzee could have treated her better than her husband. If the husband filed for divorce or wanted to be separated from his wife, on the legal document could he put down "suspected wife to have an affair with chimpanzee"? Why did they make the chimpanzee go back to the jungle, if he was only doing what came natural? What is natural to every male in the animal kingdom?

In the unfortunate event, the chimpanzee did sexually assault the wife, could the chimpanzee be charged with said crime? Plus if the chimpanzee only knows a few words in sign language, how can he have a fair trial? If convicted what type of prison arrangements would have to be made for the chimpanzee? Then in prison, inmates work and some of that earned income is used to pay off their fine. What type of prison job, will a chimpanzee get? What of the parole board?

Mark 12

One of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, “What commandment is the foremost of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD; 30 AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’

Matthew 4
Then Jesus said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”

John 17
“This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
