Answer 1

One less False Prophet.

Answer 2

Everyone just keep them in prayer. Remember that we all make mistakes and 1 mistake doesn't make you less of a man or woman of God. God calls women to preach the gospel just like he calls men. If you read your Bible, you will see that in Acts 2:17 it says that God will pour out his spirit on all flesh and your sons and daughters shall prophesy! God Bless you all!

Answer 3

sounds like the bloom has gone out of the marriage eh? The marriage was a publicity stunt anyway

Answer 4

What in the world is going on? Nothing unusual. This stuff happens all the time.

Actually, the "god" of the bible tells his followers to do some pretty nasty stuff to women so it's not unusual to see 'his followers' pulling stunts like this.

Answer 5

In my opinion we can not judge people because she have to give an account of her actions to God when it is time...she is only human and bound to make mistakes

Answer 6

I think there's a lot ot text going on. Can you repost that or something???

Answer 7

Sad story, I respect her and think he deserves prison.

Answer 8

Nothing really new - religious people are basing their lives on emotion, and they let it control them - the jails are full of them.

Answer 9

Please have an original thought on here. And if you can't do that at least clean up the forwards before you copy and paste them.

Answer 10

+PAX

She asks that we respect her privacy. I am doing so.

In His Love,
