    Losing faith?

    Got a second? Recently, I dont know, I guess i've been going through a fall-out. For whatever reason, I just guess I havent been as strong in my faith in Christ anymore. I've started to read into atheistic and other non-theist forms of reason, and, honestly, some of it make sense. What if...

    Few Questions...

    Few questions if you dont mind: 1. I know at one point Jesus was Jewish, but did he die a Jew? It appears that if I remember correctly he condemened them at one point. 2. I play football, so we go wild in terms of what we say in the locker rooms. Lets hypathetically say I was disrespectful...

    World, I'm sorry.

    I feel scared, lost, and alone.

    Hi guys, I recently have been experiencing a weird feeling that hasen't come over me in some time, if at all. For some reason, I feel afraid, lost, alone, unhappy, anxious, and confused about our religion. I guess it started when I supposedly told the Lord to step into my life and guide me...

Being 16, I'm kind of at that age where the hormones are flying, and, well, yeah. See, I saw...ehhh...masturbation, as a kind of outlet for...

    Need help.

    So, I guess I've been a Christian all my life, but haven't really actually started to really become a Christian until well, today. It all started as I was browsing some Facebook quizzes...I always liked the Christian based ones, and there was the plethora of "Heaven or Hell" quizzes. So, I...

    Hi there.

    So...well...to start...I'm Eric. I play highschool football, and in my free time enjoy paintball, airsoft, and music. I guess I felt the need to stay in the loop with other Christians during these times (and have some questions answered) and felt it necessary to join some form of forum, and...
