SanChonino I read your reply to the situation. How much can a crippled 85 year old man living alone with no heat, hardly anything to eat and no money unti the 4th of January and maybe no insurence do to his kids ?

I listened to the results of the Maryland General Election on talk radio as the polls closed and the numbers started to come in. In my heart, I wanted to see Michel Steel upset Ben Cardin, however, in my mind I knew it would never happen. I, along with many other blacks I'm sure, wondered why Mr. Steel didn't win and I heard the answer on a local radio station. A ca

Tithing !!! in Religion JoeUser Forums

For the longest time I heard preachers talk about tithing, paying your tenth to the church. I also heard many excuses people used as to why they couldn't pay their tenth. However I was convinced to try it and I find it works. Once I got started in paying my portion to the church I find I don't miss it as I thought I would. As I read the scriptures I find that ten

The Law in Religion JoeUser Forums

When I sit down and begin to read the scriptures, I'm constantly learning something as always. Reading Galatians chapter 3:24 it says; Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justifyed by faith. My point of discussion is, what is meant by the term "schoolmaster"? What was its function, or is this a metaphor. Does th

Reply to Can I get a divorce ? in Religion JoeUser Forums

KFC ! I agree with you on rightly dividing the Scriptures. I've come accrosssome churches that teach their congregation that reguardless of what the husband does to the wife, she must remain in the relationship. This is a part of marriage according to their teachings. My question to her was, what happens if you are killed taking this abuse, would God accept this ?
