From my sisters' pastor: What do Christians think?

I was wondering what your beliefs are about what dead people are up to now... are they just unconscious in their graves waiting until the end of the world? Are they in heaven or hell? Some Christians would tell children that their deceased loved one is watching over them in heaven with Jesus. Is...

So Christians would often tithe (give 10% or more to the church/etc) but what about loving your neighbor as yourself? Should you keep 50% of your money for yourself and 50% for your neighbors? Or the least amount you can survive on then the rest to people who really need it like starving...

Also is it still just if the suffering is unbearable?

I get the impression that in Joyce Meyer's "Battlefield of the Mind" it talks about Satan having a presence in many people's minds at once. I thought Satan was an angel that would only have one location/focus at a time.... and in the Old Testament in Job and in the Garden of Eden story it seems...

John 20:24-29 Jesus seems to be talking about future Christians who believe he had risen but have not seen him.... such as those who were reading his words in the Bible... I thought it was interesting...

The following is not allowed in Steam games: I wanted to include the following passage in my game: It seems to involve violence based on ethnicity though I don't think those ethnicities still exist. I hope it doesn't count as hate speech. What do Christians think?

What I found interesting was that in Matthew people are given messages in dreams while in Luke it is through angels in real life. So in Matthew, Joseph has a dream of an angel, the wise men had a dream and then Joseph did again. (angels are mentioned later though) In Luke, Zacharias is visited...

Hi I was thinking about boredom. Before the fall would Adam and Eve be capable of boredom? Is boredom a part of the fall or a sinful nature? Would boredom be possible in Heaven even after trillions of years? Would angels be capable of boredom? Just wondering....

I believe in a kind of God but also believe that the Bible could include exaggeration.... e.g. About King Solomon: 1 Kings 11:3 I mean I don't understand how there could be that many women of "royal birth". 1 Kings 3:4 - I think this could be historical: But not sure about this: (144,000...

Hi I was wondering what the hell that most people would be going to would be like. Apparently with earthly torture "Going too far, too fast with torture can simply desensitize people". Could people also get used to the suffering in hell or is the point to be in an agony that you'd never get used...

This is from a webpage that talks about a strategy guide for "the game of life" https://markmanson.net/life-cheat-codes I find it comforting when I am experiencing major difficulties that this is apparently normal... I think life probably is literally a video game. The author of that quote...

From Mark 16 in the NIV: Bible Gateway passage: Mark 16 - New International Version [The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.] These verses include "...they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them...

It looks like "conversion therapy" ("the practice of attempting to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity") is banned in many US states. Legality of conversion therapy - Wikipedia I guess the pro-side of the topic is very "politically incorrect". I'm curious about what...

Hi I assume that if Adam and Eve didn't cut their hair it would get really long - and Adam would also have a long beard. Do you think they would have cut their hair and if so what could they use to cut it? I was wondering about that.

There is a commandment about not bearing false witness / lying.... Romans 13 also says to obey the government. So if you were hiding some Jews and a Nazi government asked you whether you knew of any Jews it seems there are two reasons to tell the truth. Though in Jericho Rahab lied about...

John Shelby Spong - Wikipedia The late bishop "rejects the historical truth claims of some Christian doctrines, such as the virgin birth and the bodily resurrection of Jesus" He seems to even be against the existence of a traditional God, etc. 9 Things You Should Know About Martin Luther King...

In Exodus 34 Moses is given a new set of ten commandments to replace the first. Why is it that Christians normally follow and promote the old set rather than the new set? In the new set of commandments God said that his name is "Jealous". Verse 17: "Do not make any statues of gods" What...

John 14:6 But it didn't say (in that verse at least) "no-one goes to Heaven except through me (Jesus)".... Thoughts?

In some pictures of Heaven/new Earth there are kids (e.g. Jehovah Witnesses pictures) My sister believes that in Heaven people will have the body of a 33 year old because Jesus died at that age and it is an ideal age. In "Heaven is for Real" the boy says that when he met his sister in Heaven...
