Can you believe this priest?

My friend's brother is a priest. He is commonly invited to people's houses to "bless their house." HOWEVER, he had visited this one house to speak to the family. When he came home, he told his sister how horribly decorated it was, and that she had to go with him when he went back to bless it, so she could see how tacky it was. So she did, they told the family that they were going somewhere together so that's why she was there. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? These poor people thought he was there being kind, yet he was there to make fun of their house. I'm just so upset by this? How am I supposed to keep the faith when things like this happen?

Christians - What does the bible say about suicide?

If a person commits suicide, does God automatically condemn that person to eternal suffering? Does He even care about such things? If so, why does He? Are we really that important?

How is a child raised by gay parents any worse off than one raised by parents who don't want him?

I always here about how kids raised by gay parents will be "confused" or "messed up."
Well, I find that hard to believe. A child adopted by gay parents who want a child more than anything would be much better off than a child raised by, say, a teenage mom who used her pregnancy to guilt her boyfriend into marrying her, causing resentment.
These days, we have way too few of the former, loving families who want children, and way too many of the latter, abusive families who hurt children. The fact is that so many children are living in abusive homes or stagnating in the adoption system because there just aren't enough eligible straight couples to adopt them all. Why not allow gay couples to adopt? They wouldn't be able to give every kid a home, but they'd help. And we need more loving families. The stuff about how they might molest the kid is bs. Most pedophiles are straight men. And if a child is in an open environment from the beginning, they won't grow up "confused."

IS REAL FAITH BASED ON your heart condition, emotion, or accurate knowledge?

many believe its the heart. but that contradicts what the Bible says (Jeremiah 17:9-10) 9 “The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. Who can know it?
(Ephesians 1:17) 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give YOU a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the accurate knowledge of him;

(Philippians 1:9) . . .And this is what I continue praying, that YOUR love may abound yet more and more with accurate knowledge and full discernment;. . .

Mormons: God was a man?

Mormons as I understand it you believe God was just a man who served His god correctly and was then elevated to godhood. So my question is this why do you worship the God of the Bible when it seems clear according to your philosophy that His god is more powerful? Why not just skip the middle man?
