    Please HELP!!!

    To all of you, thank you sooo much for your replies. There are a number of things in play here, and it is a complicated situation that is not cut and dry. Let me say that I have NEVER compromised on my faith in dealing with family, and even today at the funeral parlor while making the...

    Please HELP!!!

    I must respectfully disagree with you in saying that mormons recieve hate and judgement from Christians on a normal basis. The majority of Christians out there, in my experience, share the gospel in love and contend for the faith. Yes, at times that means the gloves have to come off, but it's...

    Please HELP!!!

    I thank you all for your replies. I have decided in my heart that it will be best for me to not sing at the funeral. In the last two years I always offered my grandpa, dad, and many other family members to attend various church singings that my gospel group performed. They never came, and never...

    Please HELP!!!

    Hey all, I need some serious advice. I was raised LDS and got saved in 2008. All of my family are still LDS and my grandpa (LDS) passed away today. I have been asked to sing at his funeral. They know I reject mormon doctrine, but would like me to sing a song. The problem is, is I don't know if I...

    Need some advice

    Hello everybody, I need some advice. I have felt for a long time like the Lord was calling me into the ministry. I talked with the pastor and we shared and I told him what I felt. I also told my wife which is where I need advice. She pretty much told me that she did not want to be a pastor's...

    I thought it was over, I was wrong.

    This morning at work I finally had enough, and all at once I just yelled out loud (don't worry I work in a noisy factory) "Get behind me devil, you are a liar and the father of them!" Then I instantly felt better. Although i'm still somewhat depressed, those heart piercing thoughts about my past...

    I thought it was over, I was wrong.

    I listen to NOTHING but gospel. It's the only thing that fills me. Also, I watch very little secular programming, and I read my bible daily; that's the highlight of my day, I love reading the Word. God bless you all for your replies!

    I thought it was over, I was wrong.

    Hello all. I have suffered with depression and anxiety/fear for as long as I can remember. All through my years in the military I was on pills, and drank like crazy. During that time I also tried to commit suicide but only by God's grace did I not succeed. Then exactly one year ago this week...

    Baptist teach repentance before faith!?!

    Well, I had first started going to a baptist church(I was raised Mormon) and I walked down the isle and asked Jesus into my heart and repeated word for word a prayer with the preacher. Then, long story short, 5 years later I was on my knees because God showed me I needed to be born again. I...

    scriptures that illuminated your mind...

    When through the Holy Spirit I was able to see who Jesus really was, I remember reading the verse where Jesus told the 12 "Let us go up to Jerusalem, for the Son of Man must suffer many things there". To me, I clearly see the diety of Jesus when He referred to Himself as the Son of Man. I also...

    Are your Sins forgiven?

    Which, if you have already came to Jesus you cannot commit.

    Are your Sins forgiven?

    I understand this passage of scripture to say; and I could be wrong, that the more vile a person is when the find Jesus, the more grateful they are when He saves them. Someone who lives a really horrible life will have a radical change, and opposed to someone who was a moral person, but still...

    Defeated Christians

    I too, apologize to the mods and members of this forum if I have said anything that is frowned upon. I believe every single thing that the fundamentalists listed above, though I simply call myself a born again follower of Jesus Christ. (Christian) :)

    I don't understand your question or point, other than to suggest that God does not exist, or you don't believe in the bible.

    Defeated Christians

    I thank you all, my beautiful brothers and sisters in Christ. I was so uplifted by your thoughts!:hug: You know I just can't hardly wait to see Jesus again, and live for eternity in His glory. I dream of the day, when all of these trials and struggles of sin will be loooong behind us; a day when...

    Defeated Christians

    One thing though, the devil has not bothered me as hard as he did when I was first saved. The spiritual warfare of the mind has decreased...which leads me to my next question: If satan is not attacking you, does that mean I have drifted away from the Lord? I know I haven't felt as close to Him...

    John 17:3, the only true God

    I know He was incanate. That's what I was trying to say. I agree with you completely.

    Some food for thought.

    I watched a couple of shows like this. One was on the epistle of Judas. They were saying that Jesus talked Judas into betraying Him three nights before he did. It's this kind of garbage that young people buy in to. The devil tries to sew seeds of doubt here and there, and people buy into it...
