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...

Maybe they could do some sort of collection to help those who are in such...

:D

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...
