We have all had these valley experiences in our christian lives. Some have been longer than others but they are all ' walked" through by us with our Good Shepherd.
Share of how you have grown through your valley experience. In the end I appreciate that the Shepherd leads us all to one place. The house of the Lord Forever.
Give your testimony and may the words be a source of encouragement to those that are currently walking in this way.

your sister

If he does, how does he do it? Can you give me some examples where he's done this?

Recently I read a post that a difference between Catholicism and Protestantism (ala Martin Luther) is confession.. In fact Luther encouraged confession to Priests.

Please share..

All the stories I hear about him he's saying 'goeth', 'knoweth', 'showeth' etc.
Did he have a problem with his 'esses'.
Maybe his dad couldn't afford a good orthodontist?

I was just wondering what some fellow Christians think...how far is too far to go in a relationship? I have been with my boyfriend for 3 months now and although it doesn't sound like long, I am completely in love with him. And I know he feels the same way. I made the decision a long time ago to save myself until marriage and I will absolutely keep that promise to myself and God. My boyfriend is not a virgin but completely supports and respects my decision. He never pressures me to do anything and always makes sure I am comfortable. But my question is...how far can you go without being inappropriate? Is it ok to make out and touch? Again, I can't stress this enough, we are not having sex of any kind. And also, if it matters, I am 23 and he is 29. Thank you in advance for your answers.

Would we atheists loose a reason for living?

how did Paul self proclaim to the original disciples how his message superceded the life and message of equality, love, compassion, social action/justice/civil disobedience (healing on Sabbath), giving to god/ceasar etc?

can one act as Jesus did without being labeled as a christian? Christians were the followers of Paul, first called so in 'antioch'

what is the point of christianity: salvation, loving others, obeying commands, being a good steward, or ?

since you must "believe" it to be given this burden and put yourself into a hell, how can one not believe and then not have to suffer and be burdened with guilt, shame for a crime of another person who is beyond dead?

Please be hypothetical and creative with your answers, I have a sense of humour but appreciate deep thought.

You die and you are confronted by God(However you would define God, please answer even if you don't believe in one or more).

It gives you this message:

You have lived well and for that I will let you choose your fate. You can choose of these options.

Rebirth in a blessed life, you will forget you ever lived before but you will be gifted or blessed in one way, you may specify.

You may return to earth to watch but never participate, no one will know you are there, but you will be able to watch forever.

You can have my wisdom, but it will destroy you, in a moment you will know and understand everything as I do, but it will only be a moment you will cease to be after that. Final death, you will no longer be aware you ever were or could have been.

What would you pick? Please expand on your answers as much as possible.

also, would God excuse your hateful acts towards others, just because you claim that you're born again after "accepting" Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

don't get me wrong, it's exactly the message I am getting from Bible-fundamentalists.

If you watch Christian TV programs, you also see them sell things such as holy water, holy dipper, holy weith loss pills etc. I personal think all these seem has nothing to do with God. Would God care about our weight problem? Please enlighten me on this.

More and more each day, I realize that many aspects our lives are dictated by nothing other than human instinct and it's will to perserve or perfect the species. Beauty, love, hate, lust, and the concept of "good" and "bad" are just a few of the infinite examples of human instinct. Something considered "good" is almost always something that helps to perserve the species. Giving to the poor and helping people are considered good because they help to improve the health of other humans so they prosper and reproduce. Something considered "bad" is almost always something that helps to blight the speicies. Killing seems bad because it decreases the human population and prevents it from prospering. Emotions, in any shape or form, are mental messages that let us know if something is "bad" or "good" for us and the species. Emotions are nothing but human instinct. If you learn to detach yourself from emotions and human ways of thinking, people brand you as "cold hearted", "sociopathic", "crazy", or even "evil". If people were to take time and look at humanity from a purely animalistic point of view, they could see why they do the things they do and have a greater understanding of their own way of life. Every feeling, thought, and action we do are geared towards preserving the species. When we stray from these instincts, we tend to commit acts that are considered "bad" by other humans because they can't understand the pointlessness of their own humanity. In the end, we're just animals that are really great at being able to preserve ourselves. Too bad for the humans that don't appreciate humanity. They'll just get beleaugered and ostricized until they do what's right; commit suicide.

Aren't we all from Adam's race? We all sin. Babies and children aren't accountable, though, until they are old enough to be held accountable. How old is that?

Well I personally am not baptized in the truth nor am I an unbaptized publisher. My mother is and she has made attend the Kindom Hall since I was 7. I'm 19 now and have an adequate knowlegde of the truth...well I guess I'm flattering myself but it's hard when you don't know much Spanish (attended the Spanish congregatioon). Anyways I've known what goes on behind the scenes and know the people who care about the truth and who don't. I am just basing this on physical contact (talking to them, etc.) One of the main elders, which I highly respect, practically raised his kids in the truth. However, I knew his kids were going to rebel at one point, especially the oldest. This elder really wanted his kids to benifit from the truth, however, I think he might've imposed it too much on them. The oldest refused to attend the Kingdom Hall anymore and has gotten involved with the wrong crowd. The elder had to resign and is now just an unbaptized publisher. It isn't fair why he had to do this.

I have two voices in my head telling me to do things, but I can't tell which is God's and which is Satan's. Does anybody know how I can distinguish between the two? I don't accidentally want to follow Satan's orders and ignore God.

OK, I just want your opinion. If any of you dare to ruin some attempt for peaceful debate, I will dropkick all of you.

Anyway... Christian, Muslim, Jewish... Any religious scholar in the medieval times applied Aristotle's logic to explain their religious beliefs. They used logic to explain the statements in the Bible, Torah, Quran, etc.

And then there are the priests. The priests that used... Well, not exactly blind faith, but just the word of the manuscripts to explain events and word.

Now, which one would you more likely believe? And neither is not a choice.
