why

Hello, There are so many ways to answer that God does everything He can to avoid or abate suffering, that it can seem like no one has a definitive answer. However, we can start to understand that God is in the midst of suffering. For example, that God is able to distract us from suffering. The...

I don't understand why God stays distant from me. I thought it was because I was struggling with sexual sin at the time (I was working on overcoming it) but he still won't come close. When I did get clean of all the sin in my life I grew spiritually and God uses me a lot to help other people...

Hi there, So I realised there is a really easy way to bring the discussion on suffering into focus: bring God into the picture! The question is typically "why does God allow suffering?", but the reality is that "why does God allow Himself to suffer?" is a deeper question. If you can't ask the...

Hello you and welcome. You know we have a bible, and we can go read it. Never finished the old testament myself, some people can make it through maybe you are one of those people. Have read all the new testament but the book of Acts, guess for personal reasons of just never desiring to finish...

I don't ask to question your faith, I ask because you need to be prepared. So why are you a Christian? Is it because you heard a message and thought you couldn't stand to be in hell? Is it because you have been blessed and you want to keep being blessed? Is it because you want to do something...

Hello men and women of God! This is my first post here. I have been thinking a lot lately about the nature of sin, and I would dearly appreciate it if you guys would help me with answering this question. So thank you in advance! :) Here is my question. Plain and simply: "Is sinning bad?" Of...

Yesterday I was unhappy because my old Buick Skylark blew a muffler. Today I saw this (brace yourself): https://tinyurl.com/lpe4uu3 Why? Lord, teach us to pray.

Here lately I have wondered why I do not hear ANY sermons preached on hell. I grew up Pentecostal and all those years I would hear preaching on hell fire, repent and give your life to Christ. Many times I saw the Holy Spirit convict people during these sermons and they would practically run to...

Today I listened to a sermon from my senior pastor entitled When You Don’t Understand. It had to do with when you question God about how/where He's leading you, and why bad things happen. When I heard the title and the beginning which included Psalm 22, I felt this was tailor-made for me. Lately...

Hi, I have been a Christian for pretty much my whole life. I'm 35. Recently I've been attempting to nut out whether the attributes of the God I believe in make sense to the actual world we live in. Here is the problem I'm attempting to solve in a way that I feel satisfied. 1. God has no...

Good morning, and God bless all! I am a student of theology and philosophy at Oral Roberts University, born and raised Charismatic non-denominational, and was very surprised to begin losing faith in Protestantism when my studies commenced. Unfortunately, due to the highly...

is anyone else here sick of selfies? Facebook is full of them and I imagine the other social media sites have their fill. I've noticed that most selfies on my feed are taken by very pretty girls. They take multiple selfies a day. I want to ask them why. Is anyone else sick of selfies and...

I dont get how people that call themselves Christians and follow the example of Jesus Christ that dies as an innocent Lamb on the cross, can support WAR. This guys puts it bluntly, but accurately <Staff Edit - Profanity rule> How can a christian that believes that ones should love ones...
