Growing up, I was a super Christian. My whole life revolved around WWJD and reconciling everything with Scripture. I was hardcore Conservative and proud of it. My passions were memorizing Scripture, telling others about Hell, and loudly proclaiming my love for Jesus and hatred of the sins of...

I will probably find myself hanging out in this forum more than others I think, even if it's not that active. I grew up a protestant Christian, and I consider myself a very liberal Christian. My husband was raised Catholic until he was 13, then his mother made a very dramatic switch to the...

What do you believe to be the purpose of marriage? How does that apply to your life and marriage? Scripture is always appreciated!

...to say the least. I see, easily, that this stems from his family. My in-laws are very high strung. Our relationship is beginning to suffer though. I don't normally post negative things because to be honest, there aren't that many except for this. He has always been high strung, but I...

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I was curious what everyone had to say about this topic. In another thread this was used as a source against psychics. Scripture seems to acknowledge that psychics exist outside of our modern day gimmicks. Acts 16:16-18 was used on the website...

After struggling with overeating and very unhealthy food choices, I love 75 lbs. I have been diagnosed with biliary colic, or gallstones. I've had 4 attacks. I have no health insurance and will not be able to get any kind of insurance that will actually help us to afford surgery until next...

How are these verses to be applied to the Christian wife?

Now why does a man leave his father and mother? I've always been a little confused by this. Is there any real significance to that statement in verse 24? Was it an instruction? Should the wife leave her father and mother as well?

Generalizations are not my favorite. Regardless though, some people discuss everything based on them. I've grown to accept that. Why don't I like generalizations? You may or may not care, but I rarely fit them perfectly. Ironically, within this group, I know LOTS of people who have said...

So I know I haven't been on in a good long while, but I wanted to post and let everyone know that Aedan was born on April 26th at 2:19 a.m. He was 7 lbs. 11 oz. and 20 1/4" long. I attached some pictures for you all as well :D

Anyone noticed an abundance of new posters since the big switch? I realize that 3-4 really isn't THAT many, but it just seems weird :sorry:

I'm curious as to everyone's thoughts on how Christians should be living their lives and whether we are bound to follow Christ alone vs. all of the Bible being 100% applicable to all people vs. somewhere in the middle. Example: Jesus seemed to insinuate many times that giving up ones physical...

Right now my life is pretty unstable and I just kind of needed a safe place to vent a little about how frustrating it is - which I've done a few other times in the past 6 months. Basically we moved out of my MIL and FIL's home and are now staying with my SIL. Which is about 90% better than...

I was wondering what everyone thinks about Christian leaders who have major foul-ups, or make a mistake which is made public. I remember when a young guy named Brandt Russo went through something a few months ago. He is fairly well-known in most young Christian circles for work he does with...

My 15-year old cousin is missing. She ran away after getting in an argument with her mom and her mom saying that she had no choice but to come to a church picnic.

How do you feel about them? Do you find them demeaning? Do you find them funny and acceptable? I recently saw a Facebook page entitled "Marriage is a relationship where one person is always right, and the other is the husband" and that is what sparked this.

I promised a few people I'd come back and let everyone know about whether or not I was indeed pregnant, and so I figured I'd let you in on the excess chaos concerning the situation as well :D My cousin's best friend who is kind of like another cousin, MK is pregnant. My cousin revealed a...

After we lost our baby girl in November 2009 (stillbirth), we decided to TTC in May. I finally got my BFP last night!! I just wanted to post it over here, hopefully I'll start posting over here more regularly. Here is basically the story of how we found out though, which was kind of crazy...

I'd really appreciate some prayers right now. Tonight I basically went off on a rant on another poster, and although I don't think it was completely uncalled for or undeserved, I definitely feel like I didn't represent myself as the typically level-headed person I am. In my real life though...

I was in a Christian book store today and I saw this bumper sticker which stated "God Doesn't Believe In Atheists". I found this extremely puzzling and so I looked up the Scripture to support it. Honestly, I don't see how this verse indicated the premise of the bumper sticker. It makes me...
