    Why?

    The hell that Jesus talked about, I think is a parable. It is meant to represent a spiritual truth that is too subtle and complicated to be expressed simply in language. The basic idea that I get is that entering into spiritual life is a difficult struggle, but it is worth it because the...

    Questions about lust...

    If you fantasise about marriage so much, why not just get married?

    Evidence of salvation

    The best evidence you are saved is you no longer care about whether you go to Hell or go to Heaven. You love God, and others, for the sake of it. If there was no Heaven - even if you were doomed to Hell forever, and ever - even then you would still decide to love God and others. If you died...

    I'm so ANGRY at Christians

    Most Christians are fakers. The gate is narrow after all, and not many find it. If everyone who claimed to be a Christian was truly in the Kingdom of Heaven, the World would be a vastly different place. All fake Christians care about is avoiding Hell and getting to Heaven. Loving God and...

    Why do christians think god will always help you?

    I don't really understand Jesus's teachings on prayer, for I have asked and not received. This has led me to avoid petitioning God, and made the act of petitioning for others feel like a hollow, superstitious ritual. He has a plan for my life anyway - every hair is numbered, He knows all my...

    I wish I had a problem like yours.

    When does something become an idol?

    I think the image of God as a touchy oriental despot, who gets upset if you don't spend time with him (reading the Bible, prayer, and other perceived unfun tasks), as opposed to going outside and enjoying the beauty of nature, playing your favourite video game, or whatever else brings you...

    How Do you Explain Assurance of Salvation to Someone?

    True assurance comes when you give up the self. When you give up the self, you no longer fear anything - not even Hell. Don't you see? It is as clear as crystal! The self is what fears. It is the thing that desires heaven, it is the thing that desires all earthly pleasures. It is this...

    People who stand on the corner and preach the Gospel

    I keep my pearls close to my heart. I believe the most effective way to preach the gospel is through love and good deeds. When Jesus healed someone, he forbade them to mention it to anyone. Of course the person went and told everyone they knew. Jesus knew the power of reverse psychology...

    Should I feel guilty?

    Have you read the book of Job? All your good fortune could be taken away in an instant due to no fault of your own. I agree with the Stoics, that is better to be indifferent to external events and circumstances. Paul says much the same thing in Philippians: "I know what it is to be in need...

    Being a Christian in today's world

    It is not only possible to remain hopeful, loving and accepting in a world that is falling apart, but quite simple when you see it. Explaining is not so simple, for the spiritual perspective is so subtlely complicated, one is forced to used analogies. Okay, so when one becomes a believer, and...

    Don't understand what a Christian is supposed to do

    Interesting observation. I think it must be because those who are truly engaged in the World, in the game of life which includes marriage and child rearing, don't have time for the idea that it is all in vain. That this reality will pass away - that the true reality, the one that is eternal...

    What can I do to fix this?

    MyEverything, please don't worry about this issue any longer! The God who is Love cannot be disappointed in you. If you gave Him the cold shoulder for the rest of your life, He would still be hopelessly devoted to you. God is in-love with you to such a degree, that human romance is the...

    Don't understand what a Christian is supposed to do

    InnocenceCannon, I wonder if you've had a spiritual awakening or were instead raised in a Christian culture, where faith was just a matter of course? The ideal Christian experience involves the bestowing of a new way of seeing reality. Instead of viewing oneself as separate and alone, suddenly...

    The only film I'm vaguely looking forward to is the Alien prequel, but that is way off.
