    A question about Communion

    I've debated asking this as the answer is obvious really, but I would like some opinions so I'm going to ask anyway :) If a person had intolerances to gluten (bread) and alcohol (wine) how would you handle partaking of Communion? I ask because I am intolerant to alcohol and often have to...

    Questions about Matthew 10.37

    I love nothing on this Earth as much as I love my parents, how am I supposed to follow this teaching? I feel my purpose is to take care of my parents, I'm an only child and there is no one else that cares about them, or loves them, and is prepared to step in and be me. Not only are they my...

    Mary the Ever-Virgin?

    I understand about her being a virgin when she gave birth to Christ... but did she remain a virgin after this? Scripture says that Jesus had brothers and sisters... how can this be if Mary was an ever-virgin? Were they biological siblings, or brothers and sisters of faith? I'm confused :confused:

    A question about Lent.

    I know that not all Christians view Lent in the same way, but for those of you that are sacrificing something for it, what do you do if you break your Lenten promise? What do you do if you slip and accidentily swear if you've given it up, or eat a food that you said you wouldn't? I'm just...

    Christian Universalism...your views?

    I just wondered what y'all thought of Christian Universalism...the thinking that ALL people will get into heaven as God is merciful and forgiving and will not leave any of His children behind...for, against, load of old baloney? Just curious :D

    Different denominations prefer different bible translations?

    Hi guys...I hope that this isn't a silly question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway ^_^ Do different denominations only prefer/use/endorse certain bible translations? I remember when I used to attend an Anglican church, that they used the NRSV, and when I was looking into Methodism, they do, too...

    A question about praying.

    I have a small question about praying. My question is this...is is ok for me to pray to God for other people? Although I am Pagan, I do believe that the Christian God exists for Christians, so is it permissable for me to pray to Him on Christians' behalf (not for me)? I have many Christian...

    What if you can't afford to tithe?

    This is the one issue that has stopped me going to church...tithing. At the moment my family are going through very hard times...we have barely enough to buy food and pay our bills, and after that we have nothing (and I mean nothing, empty wallets all round). So what can I give? :( I can't...

    777?

    I see it about quite a lot here, and I was wondering if someone could possibly enlighten me as to it's significance. Sorry if this question seems silly, but I truly have no idea as to it's meaning :confused: I know that Jesus commanded us to forgive others their sins seventy times seven times...

    So confused and I could do with some advice...please.

    Hi there. A little while ago I changed my faith icon to Pagan, but now I'm not so sure :( I seem to have bouts of indicision regarding my faith. When I'm Christian I miss Paganism and when I'm Pagan I miss Christianity. What it wrong with me? I just cannot make a choice and stick with it :( I...

    Sad and confused and I need some advice, please.

    I am so sad and confused at the moment. I am new to the Christian faith (March 11th this year is when I commited to Christ), and I am now questioning my faith...big time. I was a pagan before this, but I was never fulfilled by this choice of faith, so started to search for another, and having...

    Which bible is best?

    Which bible translation is the best to read from a Catholic viewpoint? I am reading the NRSV and I find it the easiest to understand of all the translations that I own (except the Good News Bible). I have been looking in a lot of profiles and I see the Douay-Rheims and the Jeruslaem Bible in a...

    Can anyone offer me some advice?

    I am so confused right now :( Let me start off as saying that I'm not anti-Catholic...in any way, but something in me has always been very sure that I'm not ever going to become Catholic, something in me totally rebels against (and has been very scornful about in the past regarding) things like...

    My Dad has just found out that he has lost his job with just no notice, for no apparent reason, with one weeks wages in his hand! :( He has fragile mental health at the best of times (he has a history of severe depression, and is on meds daily for this). Any slight knock to his confidence can...
