    God created us without a way to stop sinning?

    "People that truly commit themselves fully to God absolutely do get his help" I just don't know if I believe that anymore. I mean it's easy to say, we love to say this sort of thing in church. When I started going to church again 6 years ago it drastically changed my life. I fought through...

    God created us without a way to stop sinning?

    What if you taught your child not to run into the street, and they knew it was bad, but they couldn't stop themselves from doing it? What I want...is for God to help his children when they want to turn to Him.

    God created us without a way to stop sinning?

    To clarify, I'm not talking about being sinless. I understand that I will always be a sinner. It's the idea that we are sinners and we can't change. That we are expected to live with certain parts of our lives being sinful.

    God created us without a way to stop sinning?

    In the last year I've watched as my faith has taken a large decline. It initially began over the idea of not being able to stop living a lust filled life (but that isn't what this question is about), and after talking to my girlfriend I realized there seems to be this huge hole in my knowledge...

    Any Android users around here?

    Those were created for a seperate type of demand. Like people wanting a smaller iPod for running. That's why one of the few features of the new nano is a step counter. In either case they're heavily price controlled. Try and find an iPhone meant for lower budget people, the don't exist...

    Pray for me to move forward

    I've never asked for a prayer request before. It's just the opposite of what I'm used to. But I've reached a point in my life as a Christian where I need help to move forward. Right now I've been stuck at the same point for a while and I get stressed out just thinking about it. I'm just not...

    Why Don't You Blame God?

    Why say there is anything wrong? What if its all of our differences that make us "perfect"? What if we all made the best of our flaws instead of using them as excuses? There's a reason we do things as a group. Our differences in thinking makes us so much more than we are by ourselves.

    Why Don't You Blame God?

    We will always be depressed, sad, angry, etc after bad things happen. Its what we make of it after the fact. This isn't restrictive to belief in God, even modern day psychologists will tell you to "get up and get out there". You may be surprised some of the stories youd hear. There are...

    Why Don't You Blame God?

    Have you ever seen someone hurting someone else and all you can think is "why would they do that? Don't they understand what they're doing?". That's what I believe our defects to be. They're things inside of us that have the potential to make us much better people if we let them. For instance...

    Can a person be both an atheist and a Christian?

    That's an interesting question. If someone is following all of Gods laws and trying to lead other people to Christ, but doesnt believe it, then is he still doing Gods work? It reminds me a lot of the religious leaders in the bible. Many of them followed all of the religious teachings....but...

    moving

    Ya I have about 30 moves myself and I agree with the other poster. So many people overthink moves. Just keep a steady pace and keep at it. Don't worry about making sure everything is packed perfectly, especially if you're doing multiple short trips. Save anything that can't break/ is soft to...

    Dealing with Frustration

    I'll be honest. I've tried similar things and sometimes when I feel I get no reply I get even more frustrated. There's that point of trying to trust God while also being at one of the harder times to do it.

    about "dressing up" for church

    I think in this thread dressing up is often being confused with dressing properly. Personally if I was in a high end interview I would wear a nice suit. And while I would be dressed up, this is uncomfortable for me so I don't find it appropriate for church. At the same time I almost always do...

    Dealing with Frustration

    So one of the hardest things Ive found I need to do I'm my life is deal with frustration. I would say that nothing causes me to mess up more than being frustrated for some reason or another. In my frustration ill so often do something I later regret and have to ask for forgiveness. So...

    Any Android users around here?

    To clarify, they're have no heart for the little guy. Apple may be built around making things user friendly but they could care less about making their products available to the average user.
