Sex Before Marriage

You are absolutely right !  It is that I am still having issues with my family members, especially my brothers.   Only one of my baby sisters, I am still having problems with you right now.  What I have learned to do is overcome evil with good.  Some of my relatives resent me as a person.   This hurts me more than ever right now.   I am only trying to establish closure with everyone, including my family members.  I have been working on the 12 steps of AA recovery with everyone.   I seem like I am not able to complete the 8th and 9th steps with all of my family members because they lack forgiveness in their own hearts.   I know this for myself because making changes is not very easy for them.   I really went through this process myself earlier in my AA recovery 🙏 😭.  The only solution is prayer and fasting because this is a spirit of evil as well as a generational curse.   I have broken the e...

What is your biggest dream?  Honestly, I really want to go directly to heaven and join God and Jesus Christ forever 🙏 🙌.   I really need to literally do what is absolutely necessary to go straight to heaven.   First, I have to learn how to forgive other people who hurt me, especially all of my family members and enemies from my past, as well as the people who I am currently having problems with right now .  One of my biggest dreams presently is to invite everyone from my past and present over to my house for a forum and discuss how they feel about me as a person. My therapist and social worker, as well as my AA sponsor, would moderate this for um.  Better yet; I really would like for Mr. Tyler Perry Former President of the United States The Honorable Mr. Barack Obama and Ms. Oprah Winfrey to be present at my public forum.   I would like for this public forum to be held at the Wright State University Nutter Center or the University of Dayton Arena....

Share a proverb you think is completely wrong and make your case.   Proverbs 29:11 says, "A fool vents all of his feelings, but a wise man holds it back.  This particular proverb to me is not really wrong, but there are people who talk excessively and don't know when to be quiet.  This is something that I had to personally learn how to be quiet because in jail, all of your actions are being recorded by corrections officers and staff members throughout the entire jail facility.   I am a whole lot more mature as a man than I used to be 30 years ago.  Therefore, I have learned a valuable lesson because this situation is also repeated in Matthew 12:36-37.  It says that for every idle word man may speak, they will give an account for it in the day of judgment.   By your words, you will be justified, and by your words, you shall be condemned.   This means that everything that we say out of our mouth is definitely being recorded....

Partner July 22, 2026 Christian Living \ Spiritual Growth \ Fellowship What Is Christian Fellowship? Jared Jeter 4 Min Read I’ve always found fellowship to be an interesting word. While it does occur outside of Christian circles—for example, in academia or among fans of The Lord of the Rings —you are sure to hear it often in the church. You might associate the word with fellowship time , that brief part of the church service that tends to involve small talk in rapid-fire succession. Or you may understand fellowship as a close synonym for friendship —just a peculiar, Christian version of it. But what is Christian fellowship , actually? The language of fellowship is popular in Christian circles because it is biblical language. The Greek word behind it, koinōnia , involves more than small talk or friendship. It refers to a close association with others that involves active participation in something larger than the individuals who share in it. Scripture uses this language to describe s...

Partner July 23, 2026 Theology \ The World \ Sin Does God Punish Us for Our Parents’ Sin? Aaron Garriott 5 Min Read There are times when the Bible seems to contradict itself about whether we are punished for our parents’ sin—sometimes even in the same book. For instance, the second commandment forbids the worship of God through images because the Lord is “a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments” ( Ex. 20:5–6 ; Deut. 5:9–10 ). We also read in the book of Numbers that the Lord will “by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation” ( Num. 14:18 ). Yet in Deuteronomy, we read, “Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin”...
