I didn't mean to ignite such a heated debate. Interesting that there are so many Atheists on Christian Forums...

Music is an inherently spiritual language. Most contemporary commercial music is written for soundbite appeal and isn't a reach towards the Holy Spirit. Forget lyrics. Seek out instrumental music that is tranquil and resolute, that communes with the higher power without hesitation. It doesn't...

That is actually a nice insight. Even though I may be frustrated with someone, and I don't understand how they don't see the foolishness of their ways, it's not my perspective that matters, but Gods. I know this, of course. But I don't put it in the front of my mind. This could actually be a...

grandvizier1006, I do see what you are saying. As a 30 year old man with Aspergers, I have developed many of these bad habits. I have become bitter to the point that many of my words and thoughts while living the daily city life are negative. I get angry quickly at people for not being...

I've been away from these forums for a few years... and found this thread on my return this evening.... To all you who are saying "Breaking news: life isn't fair"... or "Just give it up to God" or "Just put your faith in God"... honestly that does zero good. I'm just speaking as a man who's...

Thank you all very much for taking time time to write these deeply thoughtful replies. JGiddings, thank you for saying "God has already forgiven you my friend." That resonated with me very much and I need to keep reminding myself of that! Also I totally see what you mean when you say it wasn't...

Greetings, It has been a while since I posted here. I feel like I've grown apart from my Christian self and am reaching out for some basic advice on how to calm my inner fire and develop into a more level headed, even keeled human. Are there certain parts of the bible I should be reading, or...

Thank you all for your replies. Strength in the accuracy of the history does bolster my faith. I found one book in particular that seems to speak directly to some of my questions. I will check back after some reading. Thanks and God be with you.

Disclaimer: I am do not in any way intend to demean or degrade Buddhists by saying that their path is not a religion. But- This is a Christian forum, and certain understandings of other religions can be very distracting from our own path.

I have been interested in Buddhism for the past few years and there have been many times that I have found many truths through it. But I think we should consider that Buddhism may not be a religion. It may be simply be an approach, that can be applied to life itself or to activities within...

If I encountered a non-Christian who was interested in Christianity, but from a historical perspective thought the story of Jesus to be only a story, not fact, which sources could I bring up to show that person that Jesus did actually exist? Thanks.

Wow- very well said

long live the king

I am writing this so that all users of this forum, both Christian followers and others can join in this discussion. I have a simple question... We all have certain passions that drive us to do certain things, or feel certain ways, etc... Passions or desires can be helpful for many things but...

Yes they are. Thanks for sharing everyone.

It is a huge stretch.

Thanks. I'm going to let someone else pick up this discussion.

I mean... we can talk about that. But I don't think we are going to agree. I do love men and women because they are both human beings. I also think they are different, and yes, I do think women are warmer in a certain way. I can't show an evidence or data for this, it is a blanket statement that...

Man... you are taking a lot from what I said. I have no idea why but everything I say comes from the heart and has the best intentions. Maybe you find a hole in my reasoning and that's cool, but my worldview is the same. Dig?

ehh.... whatever
