Yes it's a difficult situation, the pairing of allergies and depression/anxiety. I assume you've tried using fexofenadine, loratadine or cetirizine? All 24 hour dose over the counter antihistamines, shouldn't make you drowsy either (well they are over the counter in Australia anyhow). These...

Ok, that's an interesting one... So the steroid treatment yielded no results? Hmm, which other medications are you taking? You mentioned LPR and high blood pressure, which medicines are you using for these and how long have you been using them? Your nose and post-nasal drip seem rightly...

So an angel or a fallen angel or a little of both?

That is why I no longer attend any Church. Jesus advised against noisy and complicated prayers in front of others, this is just my interpretation, so I pray alone.

I forgive you for your judgement of me. Here is my other cheek.

How are you doing? Very well thank you. Attempting to study much harder, I'm finishing my degree in biomedical science and then I've got application stuff to do for medical school. I have a new job which has been rewarding but tiring, I'm working as a pharmacy assistant. What do you feel God...

I've thought about this one a lot. I have a black belt in jujutsu, so I know a thing or two about self defense. Though I can honestly say that studying it has taught me more about avoiding conflict and defusing it, that could have a lot to do with the fact that the system is based on holds and...

I always like to think of Saint Francis of Assisi when it comes to advice on this. I paraphrase here but he said something along the lines of, 'live and teach the gospel with your feet.' I take from this, that to be a good Christian one should walk the walk and not worry about talking the talk...

I know this will be the source of much argument, but for me the bible is divinely inspired, men (flawed men) feeling the spirit and writing, not the infallible word of God, as I think the only place that has ever been written is in the soul. You are free to believe what you like, it's not my...

Agreed Phoebe. Some congregants in my Church didn't think so, I just wanted to see what others thought.

Chris, you feel lost and depressed. You have made this much clear. But do not give up hope. I haven't. I have suffered from and been treated for depression and the subsequent alcoholism and lashings out that followed. While the medicine and the doctors helped, what really helped was a real walk...

I think fm107 has supplied a very good answer. I think it is important to add however that we should refrain from judging those at different stages in their walk with God, the commenting on the proverbial speck in someone's eye. Some people come easily to the Lord's ways and others must udergo...

My advice is this. If you are unsure then wait. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing or isn't doing. If you meet the right person you will know, the Lord is good to us in that way. Make sure you see a person for who they are however, young men can have tongues like the serpent and we...

A Church here in Australia I have found that ticks all boxes to a greater degree is the Anglican Church, what you would call Episcopalian in the US. It does vary a lot as an organisation from parish to parish. For instance I attend services in the suburb next to my own as I find the priest there...

Simple question; do many Christians believe that more prophets will/have come since the time of Christ?
