So, we all know - Jesus Christ is the Son of God. But is he? Many times throughout the Bible, people refer to Jesus as the son of God. But at the same time....Christians refer to him as God. According to the Trinity doctrine, wouldn't he be the Son of the Father? Often times it seems as if...

I have difficulty understanding how people become Christians. All I have to rely on is my own experience. Personally, a few years ago before I believed, different people began to cross my path. I believe God sent these people to help me find my way. It was as if God slowly convinced me of...

Haha! If procrastinating on school work is a sin.....then I certainly need to repent. Don't worry Nonas, I'm in the same boat as you! Just keep working at it!

Just as you said....the intent of the user. What is the motive behind the action? I personally in my younger years was a heavy user of the psychedelics. People enjoy it. Some even use it as 'a way to feel the divine' and other related philosophies. The line between use and abuse is thin...

LOL wow....I can't help but laugh. Just as HighwayMan said, symbolism. If we do choose to pledge allegiance, it is not to the material object of the flag, but to that which the flag represents. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, if you will.

I too am a young man also from Colorado. I smoked a lot of weed and did lots of drugs for about five years before I learned that it was not the way to go. Can drugs induce powerful spiritual experiences? Sure. Forgive me if I am assuming too much here, but using drugs in order to feel close...

I think most would agree that in order to have faith in Christ, one must first be convicted of sin. Convinced that he/she has committed a transgression of the Law that He has given us to live by. So my question is this - why doesn't the Holy Spirit convict everybody of their sin? Or, does he...

So...what exactly do you think heaven will be like? What do you hope it will be like? I have many questions and theories and hopes about it. For example: Will we maintain our personal identities in heaven? Here on earth we have many characteristics/traits that define who we are. Will we...

As IisJustMe obviously accepts as a possibility, the end being in 2012 seems to be popular among many people. Myself included. I have to say I am becoming anxious.

I agree with that, revrobor. The doctrine of the Trinity is simply information. Knowing particular information is not a requirement for salvation, thank God.

A roughly 12% rise in 8 years? I wonder how accurate that could possibly be. Why does it occur? Religion is slowly becoming taboo as societies around the world become more and more secular. And....it's a terrible thing in my opinion. People are becoming more inclined to worship themselves...

WordofFaith2008, a question for you. How do you reconcile your literal interpretation with the evidence of an old earth? Not the evidence of evolution, as that doesn't apply. But, if the earth isn't millions of years old, how did we get all of this evidence of an old earth lying around...

Suppose evolution was mentioned, or even explained in the Bible. Would the ancient readers of the Hebrew scripture have even the slightest idea what the book was talking about? Of course not. Just because evolution is omitted doesn't mean it is not true. Not that I'm saying it is true...

Hmm, that makes good sense. Making believers look like unbelievers has got to be one of his best weapons.

Personally, it's hard to me to say which of those I believe, but lately I tend to think that OSAS is not true. I just can't get over the fact that after we are "saved" or whatever you want to call it, we still sin. In other words, we are still tempted (and still fall to it). In even more...

That's actually a gorgeous picture, in a terribly horrific kind of way.

So it sounds like the main reason that people claim homosexuals can't be Christians is that they are living in an unrepentant sin. That and various verses of the bible (man shall not lay with a man as he does a woman, etc.). None of us non-homosexuals know whether or not being gay is a choice...

I am a relatively new Christian, but recently have been having doubts about what I found. There are moments I encounter that I feel full, without a doubt of anything in the world, no doubt about my faith. But there are other moments that leave me questioning....why am I so confident about what...

So we've sinned. We've felt guilty. We've repented. We've been forgiven. But what is that nagging feeling? I have personally committed some sins that I cannot forgive myself for, but have found solice in God's forgiveness. The fact that I cannot forgive myself (although have somewhat come...

I have absolutely experienced 'supernatural phenomenon.' But I believe these supernatural experiences were directly related to my denying God, back before I believed. Cliches exist for a reason...God works in mysterious ways.
