nalston1 I would choose religion, that is my Christian faith. When Jesus is the Lord of your life the answer is obvious. Countries rise and fall, but the Lord is the same yesterday and forever.

nalston1 Forgiving and continuing in the relationship are very different. It is possible to forgive and move on separately, and then there is forgiveness and forgetting the past. The slap is the result of much anger and built up tension. The slapper must be genuinely...

Can a man be saved by doing good acts?

nalston1 No. God's word tells us that we are saved by grace and not by works, lest any man should boast. Good acts has good rewards but does not guarantee salvation.
