I was a Christian for more than 14 years of my life but am no longer convinced of my own beliefs and the church teachings. Although I had been faithful to God for many years, I was not always satisfied with believing in something that lacked tangible proof or substantial evidence to show how he...

A dear friend of mine has recently received a death threat from a man who knows where he and his family live. I cannot say much on this matter but I am very worried for his safety and also of his family. My friend is a good Christian who fears the Lord, and the only reason I can think of on why...

Thank you everyone for your prayers. May God bless you all.

I can't go into too many details right now but I am frustrated, confused and somewhat overwhelmed because of my firm belief on remaining single, or because of the consequences which accompany having that very belief. I would like to be single for the rest of my life but there are so many...

*grins* I see that many of you in my absence were engaged in the discussion of solipsism and any variation thereof. Good, good. Any criticism or feedback with a dose of intellectual intent can be good for the soul as well as for the mind. Now, Pandeism is something I am NOT familiar with...

You have some interesting ideas here. You think the holy spirit serves as a "carrier" of collective memory in the sense that it awakens our consciousness of God through that memory. I like to think so as well. For there is something delectable about the presence of minds, as powerful as...

Remember, there is a distinction between platonic love and sexual love. While some view those two elements in the same light and typically identify them as "love", the type of love commanded in the Scripture has very little to do, if not at all, with sexual love (Eros), unless it is in the...

Thank you everyone. I am deeply moved by your prayers, thoughts and offer of help. May God bless you all.

I'm listening to Chopin's Nocturnes.

Thank you, jesuslovesme54 and Little Flower. Your prayers mean a lot to me. Here's an update... I now realize more intensely that God is in control of everything and I need only to trust in Him. If I'm meant to be a teacher (even an elementary school teacher) God will surely open the path...

Certainly God looks into our hearts and acknowledges our desires, wants, needs, but He is not conditioned to give us everything we ask for. Sometimes it could be that whatever we're asking of Him could diametrically oppose His plans so God waits until we succumb to His will. That being said, I...

Hmm, this is actually harder than I thought... I think I'd be Jo March from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott because she is strong, intelligent, independent, and courageous. A one in a billion, I'd say. My second choice would be Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. She's such a...

Can solipsism be communal in the sense that the self "allows" other entities in her imagined world to think freely and on their own? In this sense could it be said that a solipsist has an interdependent nature with her own imagination and thus could become lost, even losing the sense of her own...

Sometimes I find that we are at the receiving end of a great blessing when we are at our busiest in our lives. You have a job you like and a loving family who is perhaps vying for your attentive care. Though I've never been in your situation, I can almost understand how overwhelmed and anxious...

Can Carl Jung's idea of the collective unconscious mesh with Christianity? It is interesting to note how various cultures around the world have had values, survival techniques and traditions which overlap one another even though they never communicated previously. In this sense could it be...

I accept Evolution only at a face value, meaning it can be entertaining enough for me to consider the possibilities it has to offer. However, I'm no believer of it and voted "No".

I'm no expert in the field but I highly recommend the reading of Deuteronomy 22:13-20. I doubt the Bible is "silent", as you have termed, on pre-marital sex. Certainly there is a degree of subtlety on how God addresses pre-marital sex because adultery and other forms of sexual immorality...

Je parle l'anglais et le coréen facilement mais je parle le français un peu. Aussi, j'apprends l'espagnol un peu, et j'étudie l'alleman et l'italien.
