I mainly use the ESV Bible, but that can be tricky to understand at times. I might recommend the New Century Version, it is pretty easy to understand. But yeah, I would agree with BFine, you should probably explore different Bibles and see what works best for you.

I agree with quite a bit of what was said here.

When it comes to searching for Biblical meaning on something, I strongly suggest going through all of the Bible and looking at all it says on a specific topic. I cannot give an answer on following your dreams at this time, but maybe in the future when I have more knowledge on the matter I will...

I had an experience that I had trouble forgiving myself for years so you're not alone in that. I don't think I have any sound advice for your problem at this time, but I can suggest maybe studying forgiveness in the Bible, that might help you forgive yourself, it took me quite a while but now, I...

If I remember correctly speaking to the dead is against God's law. I think Deuteronomy 18:11 mentions it negatively. Honestly, I think the people who these people think who are actually talking to them are demons. Or in other cases the could honestly be dreaming and just think something is real...

Hello, for quite a while now, my mind has been very defective sort of speak. My grasp on reality is severally down and almost non-existent. I am seeing a councilor but I don't think we have dwelled to deep into this issue yet. I noticed is especially strong after I wake up, which you would...

I think it is helpful for people who are facing hardships to know that they are not alone. I don't know if the Church can put funds together and help the members who are in need, that would seem like a helpful thing to do. Maybe they could do some sort of collection to help those who are in such...

:D

I actually attend an SDA Church, but I don't consider myself a Seventh Day Adventist. I can tell you what I have experienced. Some SDAs can at times seem very legalistic about the Sabbath, but not all of them are like that. Some also prefer not to eat meat, again not all of them are like that...

Prayer answered. This was an interesting experience indeed. Apparently I was dealing with some I just thought were doubts. :scratch: But anyway, thanks for the prayers.

My mind is going through some really tough times. I am having some bad doubt that I am afraid may consume me. Prayer requests are much appreciated.

Practically speaking, you could avoid the things that would cause you to be tempted to commit lust. If you are comfortable would you mind telling what triggers you to touch? Is their inappropriate content or other sexual images involved are you just overwhelmed with sexual tension? I have a lot of...

I wondered about this particular topic as well. Thanks for the insight.

I agree that can indeed lead us the wrong way. On the other hand I have seen shows like Law and Order: SVU that really bring to light the unforseen consequences with sin.

I don't think it is in of itself, it all depends on what your response to them. For example I could walk by the beach and see a woman in the clothing described and just keep moving on. I don't think that would be wrong. But if I saw a woman in such clothing and reacted in a sinful way, that is...

One thing I noticed about this particular topic I know it is that at a believer will at one point another develop hatred for his or sin and they really won't want to continue sinning due to its terrible effects. Trust me once you understand sins effects, you probably won't want to carry on in...

I am also reminded of this verse when I think of this topic: Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, do not make your children angry, but raise them with the training and teaching of the Lord. Let me say right now, I am by no means encouraging you to willfully go against your parents but I do think your...

First I'll start with the Bible. Your friend, I think, is putting too much faith in a voice that claims that "we translated the Bible wrong and should give up on it" there is no reason to put trust in a simple voice in your head. If the Bible can not be trusted what are we putting our faith in...

I have been where you are before and now how strong the sexual urges can be. Since it seems that people have already given you spiritual information, I'll give you some practical advice. First thing you could do if really desperate not to do this is to avoid being alone with your boyfriend or...

I'd think it is probably because Harry Potter directly mentions "Witchcraft". Granted, The Hobbit Part 1 did as well. I'll be honest I got really uncomfortable when that was mentioned. But not so much with Harry Potter. So I guess personal conviction really plays a part on what people think.
