    Why post here

    I have been approached on several occassions by non-Christians asking for prayer when they are in trouble. The motives likely vary from individual to individual. At least some such non-Christians (I think) ask for prayer in case they are mistaken (in thinking the Christian God doesnt exist)...

    "Prayers" for my boyfriend

    Exxxys, Thanks for your prayer request. I pray that the Christian God will bless your boyfriend with His peace and comfort in these trying times, and with wisdom to make the choices for his future. Cordially, John

    Is Christianity worth serious consideration

    Ok There is evidence for the existence of God (and for the veracity of the Christian God). I have summarized some of the evidence at the following link (and article-links from that page): http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/god.htm As above. I am open to dialog and willing to...

    Evidence for the Validity of Christianity. Where?

    I used to think this was the case. Further investigation however led me to a different conclusion. I have summarized some of the evidence (that I came across) at the following link (and article-links from that page): http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/god.htm See above. I used to be an...

    You guys are pretty awesome;; can you help me figure this out?

    What specific reasons do you have to reject the Christian God, but choose neo-paganism instead? Do you believe in the neo-pagan spirits/gods? Cordially, John

    Desperate!

    Take it one step at a time. There is good advice from the Christians on this forum. Take one actionable step today (e.g., find your Bible, or if you cant, go and buy one). Take a second actionable step tomorrow, e.g., read one chapter from the gospel of Mark. Take a third step the next day --...

    Don't know which way to go.

    Superman, I used to be an atheist. Over time, I became disillusioned with Atheism, and ultimately became a Christian Theist. (If you wish, see the article titled "From Atheism to Christ" on my homepage for a summary of the path that led me from Atheism to Christ). I also have a link on the...

    faith versus knowing.

    Miracle Storm, I empathize with your desire to believe and with your struggle (regarding faith). I went through a long process in moving from Atheism to Christian Theism. Feel free to PM me if I can be of any help re dialog or evidence etc. I have compiled links/articles to evidence that I...

    intelligent discussion

    Why does God allow bad things to happen ? 1) To provide us learning/training/character-development opportunities. 2) To enable a real environment where real choices and real character development is possible. God is creating a race of beings whose character is "conformed to the image of...

    Any evidence for god/gods?

    Hi Lkarmaz2, I would like to commend you for your research into this topic. I have spent a good bit of energy and time on such a search as well. The Christian God tells us that if we seek Him with sincerity, humility, and perseverance, he will reveal himself to us (i.e., convince us of the...

    Repentance?

    Note: My response to your questoins was too long, so I had to split my response into two posts. This is part 2 of my response. See my previous post for part 1 of my response to your question. God is not “trying” to offer us the ability to repent. God has created us with the...

    How is your life better

    Commiting my life to Christ has made my life better in some ways, and worse in some ways. For Better: a) I have a strong drive towards truth. Christian Theism has provided me an integrated worldview that resonates with and satisfies that drive towards truth. b) I have a strong drive...

    Why should I convert to christianity?

    Good question. Examine the evidence, and if your conscience & investigation lead you to Christ, that would be neat. And if you choose otherwise, I respect your choice. I empathize with your viewpoint. When I was an atheist, the argument from hell was not particularly compelling because I...

    Has anyone questioned thier faith before?

    Yes (many discussion threads by atheists on the internet; also books by atheists). What I have found though is that there is no positive evidence for Atheism. And the negative arguments (against the existence of God) have not been particularly compelling. Yes. I view the world in terms...
