I asked a few questions earlier that have never been commented on. Here they are.
1. What is a conviction?
2. Is pain/suffering God's comlpliment?
3. Isn't everyone a hypocrite to a certain degree?
4. What do we base social acceptance on?
5. Is premarital counseling worth it?

Maybe if you post these again the third time will be the charm. I will say this, something that irks more almost more than anything else is if it feels like someone thinks they are better than someone else, as in someone that's good at sports looking down on someone that isn't. I sometimes wonder how I would be accepted at some of the places I've been if I wasn't at least passable at vball, bball, etc. All peopl should be accepted, respected as individuals and not feel rejected because they are not as athletic as others. If someone does feel rejected it may not be as much a reflection of them as it is of the maturity level of those around them.
By the way some of this comment stems from your previous post "is social acceptance based on one's ability to play sports" (not necessarily verbatim) Roger
Correcto my man. Thanks for the thoughts.
You're welcome. Roger
1. Maybe accepting absolute truth for what it is. I mean if conviction isn't based on truth, what is it?
2. I don't think that God necessarily meant for there to be pain in the world. I think that pain originates in the fall of man. Pain is an indication that there is something wrong, because of that I think that God can use it for our good. Pain should probably be read suffering and suffering more of the mental, emotional type as opposed to strictly physical: as in a burnt finger etc. because the pain felt while burning your finger prevents (hopefully) you from continuing to hold it on the source of the burn. But then, sometimes suffering is caused by a physical problem. Proly doesn't answer the question very well.
3. Yeah, proly.
4. Hopefully on the fact that each person is created by God for a reason and with a plan for that person. Do we do that all the time? I doubt it.
5. Certainly has more potential to help at least some than no counseling. As for whether it's worth it or not, How would I know?
