    Confused by Isaiah 14

    Hi there, Hope I posted in the right spot. I'm working through a Bible reading plan but find the beginning of this chapter confusing. Hoping you all can set me straight. So when I first start reading this passage I thought it was an allusion to the future gentile believers: "For the LORD...

    Looking for scripture to encourage a friend

    These are great thank you all. Isaiah is one of my faves. Good idea about the support group. I will try to find something in her area.

    Barcelona attack: police shoot dead four terror suspects in Cambrils after van crashes into crowd

    My God, I saw some live cell phone footage on Youtube, people laying in the street while their families scream their name. It was horrific. I pray for those injured and for their families. It's so sad. My first reaction is "Why God?" but really, we do this to ourselves, all by ourselves.

    Hold On - When The Road Seems Long And The Climb Is Steep

    I'm writing this blog entry literally with tears in my eyes. Since I've been back on CF. I have seen so many posts from so many who are suffering, physically, emotionally, financially, feeling hopeless, unwanted, so devastated. Maybe I've been blind to it a long time, wrapped up in my own...

    How I wish God had never created me

    Sending all the hugs. Listen, you just have to take one thing at a time. If you think of it all at once it will overwhelm you. Please believe I've learned from experience. Take some time to break what's bothering you into smaller pieces, and then try to outline some potential action you can...

    How I wish God had never created me

    Derpytia, I've known friends with debilitating disabilities, one almost completely locked in his body going around in a wheelchair with life support. It is not an easy thing to accept limitations. And healthcare is a terrible scary thing these days. It's so hard to get care. If you're open...

    New to online forums

    Welcome! I too tend to shy away from debates overmuch. I figure there's enough for everyone to work on in trying to obey and follow the big points most agree on. That's plenty hard enough. We can get to debating finer points when we're perfect right? LOL But it sounds like you have an...

    What are the best books in the bible to read in order? for someone who has barely read it

    I KNOW the feeling! That actually could be an indication you're heading the right direction. Every time I get the idea that I'm a pretty good person without really major sins, I run into a time when God kind of clears his throat behind me and points to places where I'm falling short but didn't...

    A really good video series on the book of Matthew I found

    HI guys! I'm not 100% sure this is in the right place, but I found something I think you might like. I've been wrangling with the book of Matthew for a bit, and I stumbled upon this wonderful video that gives such an in-depth history lesson and sets up the times and situation so that I really...

    Bad theology springs from bible selectivity.

    An interesting post! I have to admit I had fallen for the Romans passage and fell right into that so this is eye opening. I'm interested to know your recommendations. For someone who is still new to the Word and has not read all books quite yet, and has trouble keeping it all in her head, how...
