OK Paul, I'll cut to the chase. The world out there might just swallow you up. Satan comes in many forms. Here read this verse from the Bible about Jesus Christ being tempted in the desert. If you want to maintain your self-respect you have to say "No, I don't need that."
Now, did you know you have an anxiety problem? Well, I'm telling you, you do. Address it now before it gets worse. I'd advise when you come into some spare cash, get some counselling to "prevent" problems occurring instead...

I'm currently ambiguous on how the interpretation of Gen. 1 ought to be interpreted. My church leans more towards young earth creationism, but I am having trouble believing certain aspects of it as I also do with Old Earth Creationism.
I'm looking for theological answers not so much scientific ones. This isn't hostile at all, I just want to understand you guys better.
I just wanted to ask some of my most heavy questions:

1. I understand with the day age theory, each "day" supposedly...

The Book of Revelation has an interesting verse that seems to allow for the possibility of humans adding to scripture. That may already have been attempted and.... may in many cases may already have been discovered by comparing the tests with more ancient manuscripts.

So I am not saying that the following book is completely inspired but......
could it be at least partly accurate?

Could it be accurate in the assertion that Satan, once killed Adam with a spear
thrust to the right side????...

In laying upon the foundation of God's saving grace, does Sanctification (holy living) also save?

And discuss.

May God's love fill you today and may you grow strong in the power of His might (and His hidden knowledge).

Reverse the curse of Babel, or Babylon by, using multiple different translations in your understanding of it, or they have Bibles that try to translate thought for thought now, instead of all the confusion involved in word to word translation, and they can open up new avenues of understanding...

Comments...?

What are some good thought for thought translations...?

Peace,

God Bless!

I'm losing my ability to discern the spirits (meaning the voices in my head, the ones from God vs. the ones from me), and am experiencing doubts about my faith. I'm not sure what to do.

Is it necessary to be a part of a Christian Church to be saved?
I've been doing a lot of reading lately, and one of the new things that I learned while reading is about Christian Mysticism.

Sometime in the late medieval period, a group of non church-going Christians came to be known as Christian Mystics. Christian Mystics are Christians who avoid the church and worship God by silent contemplation and private communion...

This got me thinking, maybe we don't need the church after all. Maybe...

Below are pictures of women who have had their beautiful face permanently disfigured by acid. Acid thrown on them by husbands, fathers, brothers, in-laws, and neighbors.

Their "crimes" include: Attending school, Refused a suitor, asked for a divorce, Refusing marriage proposals.

Please join me in praying for these girls and women, and bringing their lives and stories into the light.

If you are feminist, please make this the most important issue for your to stop.

Hello Christian family,

I know that Adoption or Foster Care is an option for single individuals who wants kids. So , if I NEVER find a suitable mate, but want to experience motherhood/pregnancy; is artificial insemination via a doctor an option for Christian women?

No sex involved, just a medical procedure.

Its scary because I don't know anyone in my cultural community who has done this....but I don't know how I feel about this. I am kind of in the middle on the issue.

Thanks!

Some of you might know that on here, I been speaking out at the concept of sinless perfectionism... To try to get people to tell the truth and not lie, saying that they are sinless now and do not sin any longer at all... I want them to know and say and confess they are sinners and continue on from there with that truth in mind...

Why would I want them and everyone to admit and know that they are sinners...? Cause I believe this is necessary to right "theology" I guess you could say, or...
