mandaj17 God could have made us all perfect, always loving, never sinning, and with no free will. But what would that prove? God wants to be in relationship with us as we choose to be in relationship with him. If we were automatically forced to love him, the love...

mandaj17 your right, if a man doesn't want a baby he should use protection, even if the woman does not. i was only singling out the woman because of the nature of the question, since your question assumes that the man wants the child and thus would have felt no need...

mandaj17 I think the guy definately should have a say. Honestly, without him there would be no baby to discuss in the first place, and if the father wants the baby, which is half his, to be born he should have that option. Even if it was a one night stand or...

mandaj17 I think there may be two issues going on here, one, he needs some serious discipline - even if he is an angel for you he can not get away with this kind of behavior with his father, and he should understand that this behavior is not ok, and it will not be...

If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?

4 responses

mandaj17 I don't think it is best to abort the child simply because he/she may have disabilities. The disabilities of her other children, though they are unfortunate, and may make life more difficult, are not so unbearable as to make life not worth living. I am...

Even as a christians who know all the ten commamments, People cannot live without sinning. Even if a person know that he is doing sins, he/she is unable to avoid it or get rid of it. "DOES THIS IMPLIES THAT SATTAN WON GOD"

4 responses

mandaj17 No, this means that God is allowing Satan to continue his devious activity for the present time, in our current world, while he allows as many people as possible to come to the willful decision to follow Him instead. Really, it is our inconquerable habit of...

mandaj17 Absolutely. Of anyone would disagree, I would challenge them to ask this question of someone who has been betrayed by a supposed friend. A true friendship is one in which fears, hopes, dreams, secrets, etc. should be shared with the knowledge that the friend...
