    Good Evening! This is largely targeted at followers of Orthodox Christianity, but any Christians who are knowledgeable in the area are quite welcome to answer. For background, I'm a Germanic Pagan who grew up in a principally Catholic neighbourhood and attended Catholic School for the...

    Agnostics, Atheists -- Pray at Death?

    Good Evening! This is a question for anyone, really, who does not firmly believe in either a) an afterlife/reïncarnation or b) a specific Deity/some specific Deities that transcend(s) existence-as-we-know-it. [That's an inclusive "or", obviously.] If you are on your deathbed, or else are...

    So... Which Christianity am I supposed to pick?

    Ahoj! To put it succinctly, I'm a Pagan with doubts; for all the trivial pleasures I can achieve, I can't find anything meaningful besides my Faith. I feel as if I've traded away any measure of true happiness in secular life, and any ability to truly love someone - the deepest love I can feel...

    Pagan Deities: Demons?

    Ahoj! I've been a Pagan for a while, but I have a Catholic education that seems to be firmly embedded into my heart - and I think it a good thing, not negative. I always enjoy comparing faiths, and I have the strongest respect for the religion that shaped the world I live in today, for better...

    God as a feminine deity?

    Hello! I've been through a rather long transitionary phase religiously since I left Catholicism, but for the past few months I've found a very happy position theologically. I currently pray to one Goddess, and though I'm sure there are certainly other spirits/angels/whatever out there, I've...

    So a Stranger Hands Me a Bible...

    Today was a rather dull day, with some raindrops occasionally falling upon me. I have to walk half an hour to get home after school, but the rain was quite fine. I'd get a bit wet, but I'd dry off. As I walk across the road leading to the school, I see two people standing, in the rain, with a...

    I've read the new testament. What now?

    Hello! I've been reading the New Testament (didn't have the Old Testament) for the past 8 months, 1 chapter per night. I've finally finished revelations, and I'm wondering what advice you might have for where to go now? Should I re-read the New Testament? Read the Old Testament (if i can get...

    Prayer Request for my Beloved

    Hello, I'm here seeking prayers for my beloved. She is just 16 and lived alone with her mother. Tragically, her mother just passed away earlier today. Arrangements have been made for her temporary housing, but she is still quite distraught. Unfortunately, we are in a long distance...

    Recurring numbers in the Bible?

    Hello! I've been reading through the New Testament (1 chapter a night) and I've reached the Revelatons section. Lots of the numbers keep popping up as I read it. I recall Jesus saying something along the lines of, "you must forgive someone 7 times 70 times". In revelations, there appears 7...
