What is your foundation for Truth?

wayken @wayken (36) • United States 26 Oct 10

The word truth...it's used so loosely in today's society. A simple word, but without it anything I, or anyone else says, is only opinion. There is a movement that says truth is subjective, that nothing is true except that which an...

JamesStas The truth as I know it is that we were created by God, born into sin, and redeemed by God through Jesus Christ. The only truth there is was put into the Bible. It was written by men, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and sent out to the world to either accept it or...

Why does God allow evil to exist?

jasonnaez @jasonnaez (134) • Philippines 23 Oct 10

I am a Christian and will continue to be so, but one think that really bothers me is the existence of despicable evil in our midst. I just want to know how could a powerful, compassionate and loving God could have created a world...

JamesStas God didn't allow evil to exist. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, falling into Satan's temptation, sin entered the world and consumed it. God, unfortunately, isn't in control of the world as we know it, Satan is. That is why evil exists. God attempted to gain...

The Godfather Returns & The Godfather's Revenge

JamesStas @JamesStas (25) • United States 7 Oct 10

I read the two recent books from the Godfather saga, Godfather Returns and Godfather's Revenge, enjoying them a lot. They tell of the missing parts between the movies. I was wondering if there were any plans of turning them into...

Paperwork signed and filed.

JamesStas @JamesStas (25) • United States 7 Oct 10

Well, it's official, the divorce paperwork has been filled out, signed, and filed with the court. Now just the waiting for the hearing is left. Still feeling more relieved than hurt for the moment. I already know it's going to be...

Why does finding faith scare prople off?

JamesStas @JamesStas (25) • United States 28 Sep 10

When I was re-born in Christ, four months ago, I found that a lot of people kind of turned away from me. Some accepted me even more. Some said I've gone insane. Some even questioned my sincerity. What is it about faith that scares...

Does God really hate divorce?

JamesStas @JamesStas (25) • United States 28 Sep 10

I'm in the process of getting divorced, not my choice. Since my re-birth in Christ, my wife began distancing herself from me. She's says she believes and I take her at her word. Her actions speak differently, mostly focused on...

The Gospel Years

JamesStas @JamesStas (25) • United States 28 Sep 10

I recently discovered Bob's three recordings of Christian music. I find them, personally, to be very good. Reading about that time in his life, I find that the albums were, for the most part, panned. Some reviews did hail them as...

In divorce process.

JamesStas @JamesStas (25) • United States 28 Sep 10

I've been married just over four years, together with her for over five. We're currently in the process of getting divorced. A mutual agreement. For the most part, it's the best thing to do for both parties. I'm following a...

JamesStas I held out for as long as I could. She's the one who proceeded with the divorce. I wanted to work it out. She even told me she doesn't see herself as a Pastor's wife. I've read recently in a biblical book that if an unbeliever chooses to leave and end the...

How can one book form many different viewpoints?

JamesStas @JamesStas (25) • United States 28 Sep 10

Looking at the history of religion and the bible I've found an interesting thread. The Old Testament set up the Jewish faith, which, was united as a common practice. Until man began using it for personal glory and benefit. So, God...

The power of music.

JamesStas @JamesStas (25) • United States 28 Sep 10

Why is it that music can help any mood you're in? I've found in recent years that music, any kind at all, can help with any mood. It can calm you when you're upset, cheer you up when sad, even, get you in a romantic state of mind....

Scary movies r not scary anymore

LaLa Leo @mrscallands22 (2851) • United States 25 Sep 10

Is it just me... or... are scary movies or movies that relate to the horror genre NOT SCARY??? They are more gruesome... maybe mind provoking... but certainly not "twitch in your seat/turn your head away" scary. There are a few...

JamesStas Horror became more of a comedy genre a long time ago. Watching movies like The Exorcist, the original Nightmare On Elm Street, and the original Psycho would make your skin crawl. These days, there's no suspense, no nail biting reactions, and no having to look...

Is it possible Hell already exists here on Earth?

JamesStas @JamesStas (25) • United States 25 Sep 10

Look at how things are in today's world. War is all over the place. Religion is, for the most part, shunned by a lot of people. Entertainment, in general, is full of profanity, lust, and violence. People want what everyone else...

How relevant are the Ten Commandments in today's society?

JamesStas @JamesStas (25) • United States 25 Sep 10

Looking at the state of today's society, I've noticed that people will say their living by the Ten Commandments, yet, they really aren't. Doing some research, I've found that they were given to truly show how people were sinning....
