Hi all, hope this is the right place to post this message. I've been an evangelical Christian all my life, and in the last half dozen years I've taken to studying the Bible much harder than ever before. In short, doing so has caused me a huge spiritual crisis. :confused: I'm torn apart...

I have an honest appeal to any and all Unitarians out there, as I’m desperately seeking some peace in my life and need help. I was born and raised an evangelical Christian and am still very active with the youth group in my church. I’m 45-years-old, so this is something I’ve...

I've been an active Christian all my life and have been very active with several churches, primarily in youth ministry and music. Several years back I got heavy into theology and into the "nuts and bolts" of studying the Bible and its origin. I need help, as I am finding it very hard to hold...

:scratch: I’m having an increasingly difficult struggle as I continue to study scripture, probe the old texts, and stagger through this wonderful field known as theology. Here’s my problem/dilemma, someone please help! The more I study the scriptures, more correctly the origins of what we now...

:scratch: Okay, so can one still be considered a "Christian" if they are now thinking much of the early Old Testament is nothing more than ancient Hebrew fables? In short, the more I study, the more it seems that Genesis and Exodus are little more than ancient tales, made up by ancient Hebrew...

:confused: Okay, somebody help me out here. I have a huge problem with the whole premise of predestination or predetermination, whatever you’d like to call it. I just don’t see any logic or point in total and complete predetermination. My problem is, if God knows absolutely everything in...

:( I've been married for thirteen years to a woman I love more than anything else on this planet, we have one nine-year-old girl, and I'm miserable. I need advice from other wives or anyone who is willing to offer me some tips. We're both just over forty now, so I realize that things slow...

:help: Okay, I’m here to rant again, so forgive me but I’m so frustrated. Since I’m still just a lowly "helper" with my church’s youth group, I prayed a lot yesterday and prepared for the Wednesday night meeting, read up on some key scriptures, then motored to church for the meeting - nobody was...

:) Just a quickie, picked up Flyleaf a couple weeks back and that CD's grown on me. There are four or five tunes on there that are seriously spiritual in nature and I want our youth band to start playing some of it. Anyone else been getting into Flyleaf lately? Thoughts on the band? ANY...

:yawn: Okay, so some of you know my vision of what I want to do with teenagers, if not, see my previous post in this forum. Last night I went and sat in on my church's "big" youth meeting as an "observer" - ohmagawd! Not to be overly judgemental, but it was terrible. It started off with about...

Thoughts on The Kingdom of Heaven? :scratch: Was just wondering, am I the only person kinda' geeked out at the recent Kingdom of Heaven movie - you know the big Ridley Scott flick with Orlando Bloom playing Balian of Ibelin. I realize the character of Balian is a mixture of the actual Balian...

:cool: Just a quick one here - what's your favorite hard rock/heavy/alternative/whatever group? I'm into rather harsh stuff musically and want to find some more with spiritual overtones. Am I the only one who finds some inspiration in a lot of Distrurbed's music? Recently got the Pillar CD...

:wave: Hi, this one's directed at all teens and recently used-to-be teens out there. I'm a 41-year-old guy in Louisiana who's been beat up by the Lord for years to stir up the youth in my area. I was one of the original members of Ted Haggard's TAG group in Baton Rouge back around 1980 and we...

:wave: Hi, just found this website and all I can say is WOW! I'm a 41-year-old kid, still listening to very heavy rock music, driving fast cars, former hair band guitar guy from the 1980's, and now the Lord is seriously pressing me to reach out to the teenagers in my community. I'm in a very...
