    The Charismatic Gifts Debate (help wanted)

    If I understand you correctly, I have found that to be a very interesting way to look at it. I go to this denomination, and I am taught one thing. I venture into another because I find some lack in the first, and they teach me the opposite. Eventually, after realizing that there are many...

    The Charismatic Gifts Debate (help wanted)

    What I mean by "gray area" are the debates that are all over the Bible. Now the Bible is without any mistakes, BUT the problem comes in with man's interpretation of what the Bible says. One Christian views a passage a certain way while another group claims they are right and everyone else is...

    How do I gain my relationship back with God?

    Thank you, I needed to read that. Something else that is helping me is exercise. I went to the gym at my apartment and did some light cardio staying within my target heart rate. I also did some light weights on machines. That combo with Christian hip-hop was just sweet.

    How do I gain my relationship back with God?

    There is some truth to what you say. I am NOT happy. I am sure there is some depression going on as well. Money is tight, no job, very bored/over my religion degree. I do not want to see God from a textbook, research paper, or academic sense. I want to KNOW Him.....as friend and Lord. I am...

    How do I gain my relationship back with God?

    Where should I start? I want to relate, love, be comforted, etc. I need a break from seeing God from an academic point of view. I want "Daddy, Father" friend, etc. Psalms maybe? I am even thinking about and easier to read Bible such as NLT rather than a more literal NASB or NKJV.

    I am doubting God, Help

    I am curious about a book by C.S. Lewis called Mere Christianity. It seems that he was an atheist who became a theist. Maybe that book as well will offer insight in to why God is real and give a case for the Bible. :)
