    Faith Alone?

    Absolutely. However, I am in the middle of a spiritual crisis and I am no longer concerned with niceties.

    Faith Alone?

    I would strongly suggest that you never begin a paragraph with the words “Luther taught.” Did you know that he hated the Jews and his writings provided the justification that the nazis needed to begin Holocaust? If not, you have no business responding to a post on the internet.

    Faith Alone?

    Do you care to elaborate? This is a pretty deep subject that requires more than a one sense answer. Are you up to the task?

    Faith Alone?

    What does faith alone mean to you? Seems like there’s a lot of confusion on the subject. If you answer an altar call and have faith in Jesus, will you be saved? Or is it more than that?

    Raising Hands in Church

    Do you raise your hands in Church during worship? I often wonder about people who do this. Is it biblical or are they just like the hypocrites that were spoken of in Matthew 6:5 & 6:6. Opinions?

    Justification by Faith & Works

    After reading 6 pages of responses to my original question, it's obvious that many people on here have a fundamental misunderstanding of the Bible. Justification and salvation are two different terms and are not to be used interchangeably. Justification is a singular event that occurs when you...

    Who does combat sports here?

    I'm a wrestler and a High School coach. My son is a college wrestler who also does muay thai and jujitsu. I can tell you that some of the most faithful Christians I have met are involved in combat sports. Keep in mind that the first sport mentioned in the Bible is wrestling. Also, remember...

    Denomination/Doctrine differences

    Actually, this is absolutely open for debate. It has been debated for the past 500 years. It really is a matter of semantics. Catholics believe in justification by faith and works. Protestants believe that works are proof of your faith. If you are a tree that never bears fruit, then you...

    Four friends: A Trip to the Park

    In my opinion, you have written a scene as opposed to a story. A typical story that uses the 3 act structure would have an introduction, confrontation and resolution. you gave us 5 paragraphs of detailed descriptions about your characters, but only 2 paragraphs of story. I would spend more...

    I feel stuck

    Several years ago, I found myself in a similar state of mind. I woke up one morning and was overcome with a feeling of hopelessness. I had recently discovered that my office manager had embezzled $300k from me. I was also fighting with my wife, and I was mad at my kids. To top it off, I had a...
