Let's get some questions rolling...hadn't done this in a while. http://formspring.me/fpres1079

I know suicide is wrong and not biblical. I know people who commit suicide don't go to heaven. So my question to you is if I happen to mess with the wrong people and get hurt or killed is that considered a sin and do I go to hell?

well, the Bible tells us to not fellowship with unbelievers/the "wrong" crowd, so yes, that is sin (II Cor. 6:14-17 & I Cor. 15:33); can't say that if you die in that setting you would go to hell, but you are definitely in danger in a situation like that. God's mercy & grace play a role in the ultimate decision, which is on God; as well as that person's state of being at the time before they take their last breathe (God awareness, were they able to repent, etc.).

If a person really wants to get saved do you think a church will accept them if she is already pregnant out of wed lock? Will that person have to give a testimony infront of everyone/people who might question her?

Thanks for asking this question. Some churches will, others won't...some church ask you to testify in front of church, but most don't.....it's sad that someone has to ask this question--now, this is a great & relevant question because the church in some ways has failed to show love as it should.

What qualities do you find in the people you surround yourself with that you find enjoyable, attractive, or comforting?

honesty, loyalty, kindness & peaceable

How can a true believer not have any empathy for people and animals? I believe in followings God's Word, but also having respect and a loving nature towards people/animals. I just dont see how Jesus can live in someone & they not be lovable like Him.

The Word speaks about kindness, so yes, this is important. God created animals & Proverbs speaks of not being cruel to animals, so I do believe that a true believer bears the nature of God in that he/she will display kindness to God's creation as appropriate.

Now, that doesn't say that if you butcher animals for eating purposes that you are being cruel, but cruelty to animals just for the heck of it is NOT Godly at all.
