    Can pastors be multi-millionaires?

    If a pastor owns a multi-million dollar home, 8 cars, a big boat and other luxuries, is that greed or is it just being blessed by God? Can a pastor have an excess of wealth and live a life of luxury or is it unbiblical to do so?

    Is Jesus a Socialist?

    Why did Jesus feed the hungry, tell us to take care of the sick and to invite the stranger into our house? Matthew 25 Isn't Jesus promoting people to be lazy? Like today, if someone is poor and hungry you tell them to get a job or if they are sick, you tell them to get better coverage and if...

    Is Jesus' portrayal in churches racist?

    Hi all, With recent events focusing on fighting racism, do you think we should talk about how Jesus is portrayed in western churches? Fair and white, yet we know for a fact he was dark brown from the middle east. I've been reading this article of what Jesus mostly likely looked like, based on...

    Need help with my Mom following a False Teacher

    2 Timothy 4:3, "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." Matthew 7:15-20, 15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you...

    Alone in heaven...

    I know the whole heaven/hell debate has gone on for some time. But the hardest thing for me about spending eternity in heaven is not having a lot of friends or family there. I love Jesus and want to be with him but not spending it with all these people makes me so sad. I've shared the word of...

    God isn't a magician with a magic wand

    I always thought what would the start of Genesis look like if I was writing it down from God given visions. Would each day look like the universe and earth were slowly forming? I came across this article today. Pope Francis declares evolution and Big Bang theory are real and God isn't 'a...

    You're an idiot

    Has anyone been called this when someone finds out you're a christian? Maybe it is happening more as an adult, but I feel this thinking is coming on more strongly. Examples of things people have said are, "How can you believe in something that isn't true", "Only idiots still believe in...

    Forgiving sexually abusing a child

    Hi all, Last year an older male in our family did the unthinkable to my younger niece. I won't get into too much detail but it wasn't rape, but still a very sick thing to do to a child. The man in question is very old and I feel got off easy for the charges. He only has to serve his sentence...

    Ok to watch Cosmos?

    There is this new show on Netflix called Cosmos. It explores space, nature and how the world works. They also obviously talk about evolution and how the earth and space have changed over billions of years. I've always loved space and how much God gave us to explore and see but as a Christian...

    The Universe and Creation

    I have been a Christian most of my life and I love God deeply. One thing I have been struggling with recently is the creation story and the universe. I mean, we are so small and the universe is huge with almost an unlimited amount of space, so how are we the center of things you know? Is...

    Free will in heaven?

    Hi guys, Someone asked me this the other day and I did not know how to respond. Will we have our own free will in heaven? If so, does that mean we could possible sin like the former angel Satan in Heaven? Or will we have no free will and be perfect all the time? Thank you for the...
