what cult? I don't know about any cult lol

I just discovered the urantia book. I had mixed feelings about it but when it came to the reasoning/logic stuff, it really made sense and resonated with me. I've taken it into consideration and haven't written it off like many have.

Nice, I love Extol. Thanks for the tip!

lol

Hey all. I have this issue where I get depressed, sad, anxious, and just overall very emotional but I can't seem to release it. I hear that crying helps release stuck emotions and clears out toxins, but as soon as I feel like I'm going to cry, it just doesn't happen. Sometimes it is...

This is a true story about something that happened to me and my friend Chris Oliveira about 15 years ago. A true psychopathic cult-of-personality false prophet named Stephen J. Peregrim nearly ruined our faith and even our lives. I once had a website and a message board dedicated to exposing the...

Sorry, but THIS is wrong. Plain and simple. Way to curse millions of people in one fell swoop.

Amen brother! PREACH THE TRUTH! I am convinced the doctrine of eternal torment is a lie straight from SATAN himself!!

Hey Chance. I struggle with a lot of this stuff to. What it comes down to is not knowing if I am truly "OK" with God...like as a person. Also, being afraid of love (e.g. can I accept or feel love, do I even deserve love...or even WHY do I NEED love...etc). It's a very scary feeling. The song...

I put it in quotes...meaning, can I still consider myself a Christian and/or do others still consider me a Christian? I know for 100% fact I'm a Christian. I just have a unique perspective on life compared to most Christians.

Don't think for a moment that I don't consider every side of this issue. In fact, part of why I feel so bad is I wonder if maybe I have angered God so much by my sin and that is why I don't feel Him. Most Christians tell me that this is a lie from hell. However, believe me, I have done...

Apparently, I didn't read the rules either. My question, by proxy, forces someone to break the rules if they answer honestly no. So, if I may exempt the new guy for the case of this discussion, awesome. If not, then that's ok too.

I appreciate your reply and concern. Have you noticed that people, even who have responded to this thread, are split on the issue? When I read some of your responses, it brings me fear. Not a fear of God but a fear of punishment. Like an authority figure (parent) coming crashing down to punish...

I have prayed for this many, many times. I may already have it for all I know. Maybe my mental and emotional disorders are blocking me. Or maybe I don't have it and God is waiting for the "right time" to do it. Or maybe when I ask, I don't really believe I will get it or deserve it so it doesn't...

I wish I could say I am convinced. I am not convinced that the Bible we have today is complete. I am convinced what Jesus quoted is accurate. I am not sure if things have been changed. With all the translations and even Catholics and other denominations adding more books, who had the truth of...

This is the question that bothers me. I want to say yes but I grew up in the church. My faith has been gradual. I didn't have this great "salvation experience" others have. I don't get "moved" the same way others do at worship services. I find that I give God praise in my own way (appreciating...

Of course, this is the thing I fear. However, is God's grace sufficient for me? Can I lose my salvation for having the wrong beliefs about God or the bible---If I am indeed saved already? That's the thing I want to figure out. A lot of what you said doesn't sit well with my spirit. It's not that...

Absolutely not. Besides, I am saved anyway. I just have a lot of doubts and confusion. I want to be right about everything (not in a prideful way but because I feel it would make me feel safe and secure). I don't like the idea that I may be wrong about something because something inside me takes...

I agree that no one comes to the Father but through Jesus. However, there is nothing in scripture that LIMITS to how one can meet Jesus! If so, show me where. I have heard stories of folks in Muslim countries who have had Jesus appear to them. They never read the bible. To quote Donald Trump...
