On using end times prophecy as a witnessing tool

October 22nd, 2014
Ed Chait October 21 at 2:06pm As a witnessing strategy, do you guys think it would be effective to tell nonbelievers who resist the gospel something that we generally agree is going to happen in the end-times that hasn't happened yet? For instance, what if we told them that Israel was going to agree to a 7-year pact of peace with the antichrist, and that he will betray them halfway through? I know they have hardened their hearts against God and that God will harden their hearts even further during the Tribulation, . . .

On providing links/references to songs in answers

October 19th, 2014
Sarah Van Baale October 19, 2014 I have never referenced a song, and I'm very hesitant to, because not all music is created equal. In fact, I take issue with certain Christian songs they play on the radio, because the theology behind the lyrics isn't always sound. However, after just submitting an answer to a young woman who was raped and feels unworthy of God's love, this song really came to mind.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXI0B4iMLuU I tried very hard to convey this message to her through words, verses, and love, . . .

On Purity Software

Jimmy Turner October 14 at 1:20pm · Chattanooga, TN I saw the GQ Facebook post about X3. I've used Covenant Eyes before, but I had to cancel my service because it was incompatible with the school server for my PhD program (Moodle). Does anyone know if X3 has similar trouble with school programs? LikeLike · Seen by 29 Jed Kramer I can't personally vouch for K9webprotection, but I've heard it protects without 'over protecting'.

Question on Marriage to Obtain a Visa (and side-note regarding rules vs. relationship)

October 6th, 2014
Sarah Van Baale October 6 at 7:08am I received a unique question regarding getting married to obtain a visa. I know how I'm going to approach this from a biblical perspective, but if it is also illegal, I want to include that in my answer. Does anyone know anything about the law regarding this? I would think it would be illegal to get married for the sole purpose of obtaining a visa, but then again, I could be wrong. LikeLike · Seen by 39 Ed Chait and Steve Byrd like this.

Vincent Trigili October 2 at 7:02pm I need help, I do not know answer to this question and not finding much help in Google: 1.

Thanks! LikeLike · Seen . . .

October 4th, 2014
Dean Revell October 2 at 12:28pm ' I have had a question form an enquirer who is desperately fearful that he has actually blasphemed against the Holy Spirit. I have had two further follow up questions now and the last question was this ' It's just very confusing. I was always taught that if you were saved then you were going to heaven, no matter what. Then the bible talks about blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and it won't be forgiven. I really do appreciate your help I just can't find peace. I'm so afraid ill go through . . .
