I am an American Pastor living in the Philippines, married and we work together in our Ministry.
I am always in the Philippines section or R&S Section, you can look at my questions and answers and see how I answer and that I only try to help.
My question is this...would any or you in this section mind if a Pastor tried answering some of your questions? or would you rather not have a religious slant to them?
If not then I won't make this section a regular stop.

You are welcome anywhere. And none can stop you anyway. There is always a positive effect when someone puts a fresh input or a fresh point of view. You can also give a spiritual side to things. And the questioner can see it through the eyes of a mature person. ©
Mabuhay! I'm here in the Philippines. I'm not always an asker though.

I perfectly think it is fine that you are answering these questions. For those who have a problem with it then they don't comprehend the fact that Yahoo Answers is just that , you ask a question and you get an answer whether it has a religious slant or not. Some people here are Christians and may even prefer it to help re-instill their faith in God and their relationships. Those who aren't are like lost sheep in the wilderness who may just need a little guidance from above.
Wishing you all the best pastor.

This is a question and answer thing. people cant say what they want their answers to look like or from who they come from. To think about it they honestly don't know that's why they ask. God uses all of his vessles to keep the body going. Some of these people need to hear certain things. All they can do is take it for what it is worth. ya dig? You can't let that stop you because you are a pastor from answering questions actually it should make you answer more. Just speak the truth and answer from you heart that's all you really can do. It show doesn't bother me. thank you

I don't think there is no problem for that whoever you are you can answer people question. No matter Pastor, or who.
I personally join this Yahoo Answer for one reason, which is to make my mind think wider, get a better perspective for the problem I faced. It is really helpful for me, to read several answer and suggestion from everyone.
Even though, your answer will be in religious point of view, it won't have a problem. As long as we could give our suggestion and it will help others. Why not?

I think it's fine if a pastor gives his opinion as long as it doesn't sound condescending. There are many situations that pastorly advice could help in, it just has to be done in the right way.

Personally, I think it would be a good thing to have some good advice from a Pastor...but I'm over the age of 25. Someone under the age of 25 might feel like you were their parent preaching to them. I think if you gave advice and kept God and morality out of it, then you could get your view across and still give out good advice. But once you bring in scripture, God, and a good sense of morality, younger people might tend to not listen to all the best advice in the world.

Anyone who objects to you answering their questions is a moron, and obviously does not want the whole story. Even if I do not agree with your answer I feel that as a very religious man you would have insight into a problem that I would not. If someone did not want your opinion they are simply looking to have a bunch of yes men blindly agreeing with them instead of having an actual dialog. You are more than welcome to answer an question I have in the future.

I'm fine w/it myself. I'm a Christian, and I know that different denominations will argue on certain issues, but I think personally it would be great. Unfortunately there will be some to ridicule a religious basis, but I say go for it man. You're welcome here as far as I'm concerned!

THE MAN OF GOD IS ALWAYS WELCOME. ALWAYS!!!
It is an honor to have someone in the five fold ministry as part
of this wonderful venue. To reiterate, please consider yourself
welcome at all times, Pastor. I'm sure that I speak for many
of the responders on this forum. I don't speak Tagalog, but
have a good week. You might be interested in going to

I think that you should put as little slant on all of your answers as possible. If I were you, I would only use a religious slant if the question asked for it.
