Case 510
I have been downloading movies from the Internet. In the country where I live, copyright laws are not enforced, but I don’t know if it is wrong in the eyes of God. I have heard that downloading movies is pirating, and that is obviously wrong and forbidden. I know that no one sees what I am doing, but my conscience tells me that it is wrong. I would like some Biblical counsel from you. Dear [...]
Case 509
Please forgive me for the way I say this, but there comes a point when you don’t know what is right or what is wrong. Hearing your messages, I would feel and see a possible world where God is love and all who love God are new human beings, or at least that’s what you want us to believe. I grew up in a Christian home... where lives were supposed to have been changed upon [...]
Case 508
Three years ago, I met my girlfriend and her two daughters. I don’t know what came over me and caused me to commit the worst mistake of my life. Without thinking, I let myself be caught up in the antics of one of the girls, and I took the liberty to touch her inappropriately. That ended up getting me in serious trouble... I was at the point of going to prison, accused of raping her. [...]
Case 507
Three years ago, I was involved in an adulterous affair. My wife forgave me, and... I cut off all communication with the other woman. I have two children who are ten and four years old. I don’t know if I should tell my children about that period of my life, nor when would be the best time to tell them, nor how to do it. Can you give me some advice? Dear Friend, We are [...]
Case 506
I am a fifteen-year-old girl.... My mother left me when I was two years old. She moved to another country, supposedly to give me a better life. However, a few months ago in a conversation with her she confessed that I was an accident, not wanted by my mother nor my father. They say that they don’t love me and, even though I live with my father, I feel insecure. I would like to have [...]
Case 505
I am the father of a beautiful two-year-old girl. I lived with my wife in her mother’s house. I was willing to live there because my mother-in-law is alone. Her husband left her, and her other child died.... My wife is now an only child, and her mother was very excited about my daughter’s birth. However, my mother-in-law became obsessed with controlling my daughter, and ended up throwing me out of her house.... I feel [...]
Case 504
Two years ago, my husband was unfaithful. I forgave him and thought that would be the end of it, but there is a seven-month-old baby as a result.... I believe he’s continuing to communicate with her using the excuse of the baby. I feel let down by my husband. And I feel hate, bitterness and spite toward that woman for all the harm that she has done to me.... She lives to cause hurt and [...]
Case 503
I have a son whose father left me for a younger woman at the time the child was born. Since then, even though I have a strong temperament and personality, I haven’t been the same again. I have struggled to be happy, not with another man but with my son and those around me, but it has been very difficult. I am full of bitterness. I have mistreated my son and my father. I continue [...]
Case 502
My partner hits me all the time for no reason. Yesterday he slapped me because I was at my friend’s house. He is embarrassed of me in front of other people, and he even had a relationship with another woman for a while. I don’t have any relative to confide in, and my mother died. Since her death, I have felt very emotionally dependent on him in spite of the fact that I am a [...]
