I open a topic that talked about what we are thankful for in life. I noticed that most of those who responded are women and thankful of their children with their beautiful smiles and laughters. I too noticed that not one men...

Why is it so hard for people to actual realize that they are not always right just because they believe a certain way. I have noticed that so many people insist that thier view is the right way just because they see it that way....

andersod2 I would also say this, and that is today's world is very divisive. There's so many things happening that are really bringing arguments out, and I think this is a time more than ever that we need to understand what we believe, why we believe it, and be able...

andersod2 That being said, I do believe a person should stand up for what they believe in, even if it's to their own demise. I don't believe it's bad to say "you're wrong" (and I've done that plenty), as long as it's clear that it isn't being said maliciously or to hurt...

andersod2 I was being facecious when I said that, however, the new testament clearly teaches us that the discipline of God will be harsher on those who teach false doctrine than it will be on everyone else, and that it is far better for us to feel the pain of...

andersod2 Again, I want to add verbatim my comment above, just to be thorough here. Respect is based on fear. Trust is important but is a different thing altogether. Respecting God is the same as fearing god in the old testament scripture and if you do another word...

andersod2 My sister Teresa, I say this with as much love in my voice as possible, but you are not speaking from wisdom, but from self-justification. Everything about your posts, the research, and the hebrew words clearly makes the point that a rod is a stick, and that...

andersod2 This is the second person I've heard say that a rod isn't literal in the Bible, and I'm not trying to be contentious, but that is just plain wrong. There are in fact several different verses in the Bible that very specifically refer to using physical...
