Questionare

I was at school today and a guy handed me a survey of opinions on certain topics. I thought that the questions were thought-provoking and good ones to talk about.

1. Do you believe that marriage is a sacred bond in today's world? or is this particular "bond" over rated and/or misused?

2. If you having certain privileges meant others going without would that be ok? In the context of the world Americans have much at our disposal....would you rather have everyone with the same or some with more and others with less?

3. Do you believe segregation and racism are dead or are these still issues that must be dealt with?

I would like all comments.

1. Marriage is not treated as a sacred bond in our country, or world, for that matter. I think men and women should do as they feel convicted to do. Conviction never lies.

2. To "plugin" to the lesson from Spider Man... "with great privelages come great responsibilities".

3. Racism, segregation or any sin for that matter cannot be ceased by anything less than the full indwelling of God the Holy Spirit. I say we deal with the problem in order of operations.

1. Marriage is not treated as a sacred bond in today's world. I believe that marriage should be a sacred bond. A unity between a man and woman with God as the head. For those who don't believe in God or could care less, marriage is just a way to please yourself (if it pleases you to get married). The first thing I thought about after I read the question was Genesis 2:23 "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh..." Marriage under God is a wonderful, powerful unity that I do not understand.

2. I am totally fine with having more than some and less than others. But when you strip that all away what do you really have. We are nothing compared to God. And we are all equal in His sight.

3. Segregation and racism is all over the place including church. I am discriminated against by being a christian and a woman. Children are victims of ageism everywhere.
