    Hopeless spiritual crisis

    Not once did I see any mention of you learning the Gospel - believing that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Word made Flesh, died on the cross for your sins, and through Faith in Jesus you will be saved. Your faith is built on your experiences and present lack of them. A Christian's faith is...

    This is an unpleasant topic and perhaps unusual but it appears to be a very high traffic area. USA parents and teenagers, the young youth pastor has been exposed as a serial predator on young women on repeated occasions.

    Advice regarding Sadistic Fantasies

    You've already worked out when you are vunerable to this temptation. Turning from sin triggers is half the solution. Turning to Jesus and staying there whenever you are tempted is what is needed to gain the victory over sin. If you are determined to keep your mind filled with pure, holy things...

    I've Lost Everything (time sensitive thread) in desperate need for advice!!

    1. It may seem right now that "the devil won" but God is in control and will turn it around for (objective) good. e.g. approach this fight as a training session with God on your team. 2. Yes. Definitely seek legal advice ASAP. 3. YES!!!!! They've already physically assaulted you. 4. If you...

    Explain Why I'm Drawn to Satan

    I bet you already know the average psychologist etc. is unlikely to consider your experience from a spiritual perspective, especially if they're an atheist. I actually have an idea of what you may be feeling. Many years ago when I had severely backslidden I permitted myself to watch and read...

    Do you think God is closing the door on this?

    Perhaps education degree with musical training is something you can consider? Teaching ability is as much a gift as music.

    I want to stop feeling this way...:(

    First things first. Do you know and BELIEVE the full Gospel i.e. not "just" John 3:16. Listen to/ read sermons that explain the Gospel in great detail so you truly understand the magnitude of what Jesus did for YOU via His death on the cross (paid penalty for sin) and resurrection from dead...

    Do you think God is closing the door on this?

    Woah- you are reading way too much into your situation. You sound extremely anxious. Slow down, take a deep breath and look at your options carefully. You sound like you've been listening to personal impressions way too much and taking bible verses out-of-context "fortune cookie style". STOP IT...

    Spiritual highs/crashes..

    When I was a new Christian I certainly did experience spiritual highs. Unfortunately I falsely concluded that spiritual highs = closeness to God. Therefore when I felt nothing, either God was not pleased with me or my faith wasn't real. Only when I learned the whole Gospel and became secure in...

    I was Raped

    So you FEEL like you don't have a relationship with God. Don't use feelings as your measuring tool. You have a difficult path to walk right now, but you are not alone any more. Remember this passage: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+43%3A2&version=KJV God is always with...

    Uncomfortable with a friend of my father..

    That's a very big warning sign. Whether you're 15 or 50 you should approach your Dad and tell him what has already happened. Your father's friend already knows what he is doing is inappropriate. He approached you via private text; he didn't ask you that question out loud in another person's...

    Do I have the gift of discernment?

    What Christian Facebook group would worry about colours and their (supposed) meanings?! That sounds like things Pagans would say. The last thing a Christian should be looking for on purpose is "spirits". Forget about this "gift". Use your bible. God has shown us all His wisdom, insight...

    I have a deep hatred for my mom

    Paul Becke's message is right in that viewpoint should be what you should aim for in the long-term. I also have a narcissistic personality mother. Yours sounds like the abandoning/ neglectful type. Mine is the engulfing/covert type (until I moved a long way away). Right now you're in the...

    Dominion Theology

    Years ago I learned about Dominion Theology via becoming concerned about a (former) online friend who was infatuated with Rick Joyner/ New Apostolic Reformation teachings. In short it's a very seductive worldview and its followers are as brainwashed as more easily recognised "Christian" cults...
