• I am pregnant and I am so embarrassed. All of my friends will laugh at me and snicker. I can't handle the embarrassment. My future will be messed up if I have a child. Can't I quietly go and have an abortion? It's my body and my life, don'tI have a right to decide?

•   BIBLE

 Was King James, author of the Authorized version of the bible, gay

I was reading in the National Post that archaeologistshave discovered the city of Gath, and are looking for proof that giantslivedthere (among other things), as Goliath was supposed to have livedthere.

I have seen in hundreds of Christian writings arguments that attempt to attach two independent scriptures and create some kind of conclusion.  For example in one of my emails to you I tied Hebrews 13:8  to 1 Cor 12.  And other people have differing scriptural based arguments in which they whole heartedly believe. But some of these philosophical arguments are viewed as heretical.  For instance in the Catholics say, "that since Mary is the mother of Jesus, and Jesus is God, than Mary is the mother of God.  The protestants would call this at minimum a partial truth, in that Mary was the mother of the MAN portion of the Man-GOD, and at worst a heresy.  Likewise many protestant denominations have similar arguments that have caused great divides between them. I see you refer to "Preponderance of  Scripture." What do you mean by that? Can it help me to know when I have crossed the line from truth to heresy? My response is that the Holy Spirit speaks and informs and tells me clearly what is truth and heresy.

work. She is in love with him and loves me...Myconcern is that if I had not found out about the phone billand then evenmore so did not accept her first lie...this would still be going on.

 I am a23 year old virgin, working on My PhD.I am engaged to a young man who isin the military. We plan to be marriedwhen I finish my degree about four years from now. He thinks it’s O.K.for us to have sex until we aremarried, but I feel it would be wrong.I have considered marriage but my parentsare against marriage before Ifinish my degree. Since I am a virgin, it iseasy for me to wait I guess.It is harder for my beau.  I have alwayswanted to save sex for marriage.I want to obey God’s will. My beausays waiting until I finish my PhD istoo long. He may be tempted beyond hisability to contain himself. Will sex be a sin for us if we are in love under these circumstances?ShouldI wait?

 

I want to datethis guy but he's a non-Christian.I think I can save him if I can get himto go with me. If someone elsedates him he'll probably never be saved. Isit wrong to date a person for "missionary" reasons?

I am gay. I ama musician for a local church. Onoccasion I hear the pastor make references to gays that seem to suggestthat gays cannot go to heaven. That hits me hard because I consider myselfa Christian. I read the bible, attend worship and listen attentively tothe sermons preached. I know other gay musicians, who feel the same asI do. Why would God exclude us from heaven, even though we believe in Christ?

 

I notice thatthere are many gay people who professa faith in Jesus Christ. They sing inchoirs, attend bible studies andseem to be law abiding moral persons, except for their gay lifestyle. Can gays who confess Christ go to heaven?

The bible talksabout being unequally yoked.  Does this mean a single young virgin should not marry a guy that has been sexually active?  I don't know of any men that save themself for marriage, but there are plenty of women that stay virgins until marriage?

 

My boyfriend says he trusts me, but he really hatesit when other guys look at me, espsecially an ex of mine.  He saysthat its not me he doesn't trust it's the guys he doesn't trust. He really hates it when my ex compliments me and everything, and I understandwhat he is saying but its causing us to argue, and I don't want that anymore. Can you please help me.  I don't know what to do.

 

Being 21 Ilike to go out and have fun with my friendsand they are not saved so theydrink and tempt me. I don't do it often,but occasionally.

How do you encourage your young peopleto stay in church and doyou think it is okay to go clubbin and not drink and still call yourself "saved"?

 

My boyfriend is extremely jealous. He really goesoff anytime he even thinks I'm talking to someone else. It could be a girlfriend of mine or a male friend. I have to talk to my friends in secretbecause of his jealousy. He says I should be loyal to him and him alone. Is he right?

 

I read yourresponse on the subject of "jealousy"and I have a question to add.  I am the jealous one in our relationship,and unfortunately so.  I try to not be and I am trying like crazyto find a solution to my problem.  I do distrust my boyfriend becausehe had been writing flirtatiously to his ex-girlfriends and I read someof the letters via email and thru written letters.  Also my boyfriendis not very discreet about looking at other beautiful women when they walkby.  He says he is not unhappy with me and wants to stay together,but I feel so put down and ugly and disrespected when he looks at othergirls.  I love him, this I can truly say.   I just don't know how to act anymore in regards to the situation. We have had the same

argument at least 200 time in the year and ahalf we have been together.  He no longercares if I cry or try totalk to him about it.  He says one of us willhave to change in orderto solve this problem, but he says he isn't goingto stop looking and thathe knows I won't stop being jealous . Is it right to be jealous in such an obviously disrespecting situation?  Or should I just have more security about myself?  Please helpme because this is the main reason he and I fight and I am on the brinkof just giving up here-but I love him and I don't want to leave.
 

I get veryjealous sometimes, and I hate the feeling,but I don'tget where it stems from.. I have no logical reason to be jealous, butI am none the less. I know in my head that she is completely honest with me, but in my heart I get so jealous... or maybe it's the other way around.. oh boy, I'm mixed up.  I love my girlfriend very much. We are bothChristians and this is the best relationship either of us has had. I don'twant my petty jealousy to tear us apart.. so I'm needing to know what todo. I need to change my way of thinking or something... I don't believeI see her as a possesion, but maybe I always have and never realized it..I sincerely hope not.. I know I need to treat her better than this, butI can't lie and say I'm fine with certain things she does, when I'm not..I'll blow up in side and plus we promised each other we'd always be honest...I don't know... please help me out.

 

I have prayed that God would send me a good man.I think he has answered my prayer. I have found the most wonderful man.He treats me like a queen, makes me feel comfortableloved and needed.However, he's married. He tells me that his marriage is just about over, except for the paperwork of divorce. I'm getting in deep, even sexually, am I doing wrong?

Where didthe idea of the tithe come from? Is it in the bible?

 

I try to be a Christian and give to help others.When I told my church members thatI give my tithe to help the less fortunateand to contribute to needy causesthey said I was in error. Where should the tithe go?

 

I want to obey God and pay my tithe, but each timeI write out a tithe check to the church my husband and I have a fight.He says a $25.00 a month contribution is sufficient. Our title should be $310 a month. I feel like I'm stealing from God. What does a Christian do about tithing when a spouse disagrees?

 

Howmuch is a tithe?

How do I explain the biblicalconcept of tithing to members who say the book of Malachi is for Jews only?The believe that we are under no commandor obligation to tithe in the NewTestament.

 

How does one resolve the scripture in Malachi where the reader is told that we rob God by not paying the tithe and then in II Corinthians 9 we read, that we are not to give grudgingly nor out of necessity for God loves a cheerful giver?  Can one truly be cheerful in their giving of the tithe while also thinking that the tithe is what they must do?

 

Is the tithe a requirement and thereby becoming a law in a sense where there are negative consequences for not paying the tithe?

 

 I bring home $233 a week. Usually around $37has been deducted for Social security and taxes. Do I tithe on the $233or the $270? What do we tithe on, the gross or the net?

I visiteda bible study group in which the participantsall began to speak in some kindof foreign language. They lifted theirhands and said something that sounded like "a shambala ala shundula" or something like that. Afterwards they toldme they were speaking in tongues.They said it was a special prayer language they use to talk to God andthat I should pray to receive the gift myself. What is speaking in tongues?

 

Theytell me that when I speak in tongues it is anevidence that I am truly savedand have received the Holy Spirit. Isthat right?

 

Istongues speaking a cult? Is it bad? Why are people doing it?

I've been hearing a lot about the Y2K problem. Somepeople are saying this willbegin the end of the world. What should be the Christian response?

I went to a funeral the other day and there was awoman minister that was programmed to give comments. However, the pastorof the church refused toallow the woman preacher to speak from the pulpit.He said God doesn't callwomen to preach. She had to make her comments from the floor. Are women preachers biblical?
