    How do you improve your sense of good & evil, truth & lies?

    In terms of the Holy Spirit, we find this to be evident: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." - Galatians 5:22-23 These shall be what we aim for. That when we do...

    helping someone absorb matters from God

    People have free-will to harden their own hearts to the Gospel. God designed it that way because the only way to have a real relationship with us was to give us the decision to accept His love or not. We just have to keep showing Christ's love in our own lives, so that he can see that God...

    God creates evil.

    Evil starts from the root of Free-Will. In order for God to love us He had to create free-will - to accept or deny that love. In Genesis 2, Adam and Eve chose to deny God and therefore sin was created. So starts like this God is Love --> True love creates True Free-Will to deny or accept...

    Should I give my old friend another chance???

    If this is really the case, I'd say this is borderline obsessive. You need to distance yourself and cut him out immediately.

    Why do we love God?

    Athiests attribute love as a neurobiological response and nothing more. They attribute love in different ways and tie them into terms like attraction, kindness, "pay it forward", to make a difference/change in someone else's life etc. Love in that sense, no matter the outer intentions, is...

    im losing it :/

    I suffered from 4 days of anxiety attacks following my uncle's death, my sister's diagnosis of depression, and lack of sleep from midterms. These anxiety attacks matured into a week of brief psychosis and delusions. I was sent to a mental hospital for 3 days and was treated with Abilify and...

    I was in a crisis but I didn't pray

    If you do think you don't prioritize God enough into your life, I suggest you open every day up with the Word of God and close every day up with the Word of God (Psalm 1:2) I am sorry to hear about your daughter and you shouldn't feel so down for forgetting to pray. God doesn't need prayers...

    When to pray for love and acceptance

    Some relationships have obligations and covenants designated by God for "closeness" and "oneness" - such as marriage. All other relationships are treated like Jesus - with Love. Love constitutes all that is written in 1 Corinthians 13 but is fully embodied by the Jesus of the Bible. Love...

    Is there truth to be found in the Faith Gospel?

    Faith goes beyond believing God will heal someone especially a brother and sister in Christ but believing that whatever God decides is what is best for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28) There is no doubt that Jesus would heal anyone who comes to Him. He...

    How do we know the bible...

    Jesus is either a liar, lunatic, or Lord. I believe He is Lord. And btw I suggest starting with the Gospels before OT. OT is a bit harder to digest.

    resting at Jesus feet...Scripture question

    I think this verse if you take it from the whole context of things, the psalmist is trying to say that God is our refuge and an all-powerful God in whom we should put our trust in. When we've reached situations out of our control, we have to "be still and know that He is God" - an awesome God...

    Bible said this would happen, but wow this bad!!!

    You gotta question if they even were your friends. I think of a friends as people who accept each other, encourage each other, and build stronger relationships. I think it's about time to turn from them, find new ones. Be careful when they try and make amends with you and take things step by...

    How can I fight temptation?

    Do devotionals together, read the Bible together. Make a resolution together that will redefine your relationship based on the God. Hang it up, make it official. Don't do it half-hearted.

    Cold for months, now approaches shyly, suggests Christmas together

    Don't waste it on "testing the waters". I'd say enjoy the time with her as much as you can especially now that you are going through some trialing times in your life. You guys need each others' company more than ever.
