    Is Confession to Elders Necessary for Forgiveness?

    You need to speak to God about that. I didn't write the book. I'm simply sharing the message.

    Is Confession to Elders Necessary for Forgiveness?

    Hi, Actually, scripture does instruct us to attend church regularly. Hebrews 10:24-25 says: "24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you...

    POLL: Is violence against those who insult Jesus sometimes acceptable?

    Absolutely not. We should never use violence against those that insult Jesus. I must say, though, I actually feel hurt when I hear others using the Lord's name in vain. It's almost like a combination of physical and emotional pain, and a plea in my mind that says "please, you musn't do that!"...

    Do you think it's Christian to own guns?

    This is what I was going to say. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 says a lot. "A time for peace, a time for war", "A time to kill, a time to heal", etc. Does anyone really believe that Jesus would have told the Jews to disarm themselves and be vulnerable to their enemies? That would be suicidal against their...

    Trying To Be A Faithful Christian, But Battling Depression, Etc

    I understand. I wish no debate either. I know that you have good intent, and the scripture I shared wasn't only for you. That's just something that really concerns me because although I'm in complete, 100% agreement, I've also seen many use it to fall into complacency, and I don't think either...

    Trying To Be A Faithful Christian, But Battling Depression, Etc

    Sir, You have no idea how much your post means to me. To even hear that someone else having similar traits makes me very sad for them, but also a bit of relief knowing that it's not just me. May the Lord bless you, my new friend. :-) Joe

    Why is it so hard to beileve in Jesus Christ?????????

    Hi Countryangel707, Actually, I'd have to respectfully disagree about a true believer having no pride or selfishness. Most Christians I know battle some things on a daily basis. I recall my cousin telling me a few years ago that once I become a child of God I'll lose desire for all worldy...

    Trying To Be A Faithful Christian, But Battling Depression, Etc

    Hi Tempura, I appreciate your long, carefully worded post. I'm not offended at all, though I must admit that I'm a bit more conservative in my faith. I completely understand about grace (Ephesians 2:8) and I also understand that works alone won't save me. On the other hand, I also know that...

    Trying To Be A Faithful Christian, But Battling Depression, Etc

    Leon, Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate your prayer. What most people don't understand is that if I miss church, the odds are very good that I'm not working the next day or week, either. It also troubles me greatly that I'm not being the best example for my son when...

    Trying To Be A Faithful Christian, But Battling Depression, Etc

    I've been a Christian since my late teens, then backslid for several years before coming back to the Lord 10 years ago. During the years I was away I became an alcoholic and used drugs. Mostly alcoholic, though. I liked the way that I felt when I drank. It felt like I'd go from being "The Nutty...

    Prophetic source shows that i will never get to be with the one that i love.

    I'm in agreement with this poster. Many movies are made to sell to certain types of people. They'll have a certain type of characters in certain situations that are based on many everyday problems/issues that many of us face. That's why they seem so familiar. Think of songs you've heard on the...

    Why is it so hard to beileve in Jesus Christ?????????

    Hi Countryangel707, I'm new here and just happened upon your post. It sounds like we have a couple things in common. I have many family members on my Dad's side of the family that are/were (when they were alive) devout Christians and to say that they were conservative was an understatement...

    Hello, I'm new and just wanted to say hi and express my gratitude for both creating a forum like this, and for allowing me to join. I'm like everyone else here. I love the Lord God, Jesus is my master and I have daily struggles, too. Like some other members, I also battle some physical and...
