    Having trouble believing

    I grew up in a churchgoing family and always had what you could say was a head belief in Jesus, but probably not a heart belief. I did used to say prayers every night but as time went on, I stopped doing that and going to church. I started drinking 10 years ago and just stopped because it was...

    question about lust

    I know it's wrong for a married man to lust over another woman and for a single man to lust over a married woman, but is it also wrong for a single man to lust over a single woman and if so, why is it a sin?

    Story of Jesus same as other myths?

    I've heard some people say that the story of Jesus is very similar to previous myths. Is this true? I'd like to believe it isn't. Please give me evidence that this isn't true.

    Please convince me Jesus isn't Satan

    There's this guy on youtube who goes by ChucksterOLove. He claims that Jesus is Satan and has a bunch of videos to that affect. I've been afraid to watch the videos and hope someone could disprove them. He also has a website called jesuschristissatan.com which I haven't visited.

    How do I repent?

    I'm finding that one of my biggest stumbling blocks is repentance. I feel that I'm incapable of feeling remorse over some of my sins. No matter how hard I try, I can't feel bad over most of my drunken escapades over the years. It's easy to repent over the sins where I directly harmed someone...

    What does it mean to believe?

    What does it really mean to believe in Christ? When I was younger, I thought I believed, but it now seems that I didn't. I had what was more a head belief than heart belief. Also, what does it mean to love God and love your neighbor?

    Leaving Christianity

    What causes seemingly dedicated Christians to give up the faith? I know of some people who go from fundamentalists to atheists fairly quickly. What would cause them to do that? You see people like that on ex-christian.net.

    Loving God

    I actually have two questions. My first question is what does it mean to love God with all your heart. My other question is how can you love someone with all of your heart that you can't be absolutely sure exists. My hunch is that there is a God and Christ is his son, but I can't be sure.

    Deuteronomy 13

    I know some Jews think that Jesus is one on the false prophets mentioned in Deuteronomy 13. I understand what they are saying but I don't think I agree with them. I'm asking people on this forum to prove that Jesus can't be one of the false prophets mentioned in Deuteronomy 13.

    Could I be reprobate?

    I grew up believing Christ was our savior, but it was definitely more a head belief than a heart belief. I know I never had a born again experience or anything like that. As I got older, I started to drift away from my faith, if I could even call it that. I feel that, to a certain degree, I've...

    Does God love or hate unbelievers?

    There seem to be contradictions about this in the bible. In the old testament it says things like God hates the wicked and workers of iniquity, but yet in the new testament it says that God loved the new believer even while he was a sinner and an enemy of God. I've also heard some christians...

    Please pray for my grandmother

    My grandmother is in the last stages of congestive heart failure and probably won't live another week. She always professed to be a christian and was a consistent churchgoer throughout her life, but I'm not sure if she was ever born again. Please pray that if she isn't already, she gets right...
