I was away from this forum for some time to clear my mind and ideas. I found my way back to the heart of the woman I love, after overcoming all negative thinking and focusing on my love for her. Long story... On my way, I found out one of the true reasons why we had been growing apart...

As some of you know, I badmouthed a guy who had some sort of unconventional open relationship with the girl I consider my best friend, to whom I suggested that we could develop our friendship into love because she was quite attracted to me at the beginning, too. I badmouthed him because I saw...

Dear friends, I have written extensively about this, and I have always trusted my faith but in these days it is faltering because I'm not sure whether what I'm doing is the right thing, whether what I am doing is guided by my prayers, and thus I'm no more sure how to behave. My main struggle...

I and my friends seem to disagree on a major issue and it is: Being straightforward and honest about one's opinions, even if it means saying bad things about other people who aren't present. Basically, I am never scared to say openly what I think:"That guy is ungodly" or "I really think he is...

In a society that promotes the freedom and the right to have any beliefs, how do you confront or convince someone dear to you [that is, not some stranger whose business you don't need to mind,] if their beliefs lead them astray from your own values? Or what I am asking is whether it is right...

A new job, a new hobby, new friends, traveling. Maybe after having moved to a new home, or starting college, or graduating from it. Or after a great book that changed the way we look at life! Now isn't it wonderful when such things come and make us really feel like we are alive, lively and...

There is one thing about myself that has made me appear with different extremes of personality throughout my life: when I am convinced about something, I carry it out 100%! During the ages of 15-23, I was convinced that success depended on popularity: that's when I started meeting many new...

When someone gives us the cold shoulder (stops talking to us, is not friendly anymore, etc.), for whatever reason, there are two approaches people speak of: The most common is to retaliate by not talking to them and making peace only if they start talking again. Basically, being a bit...

When the world (friends, family, society, social norms) looses faith in you achieving something you like, but in your prayers you feel that God will support you and show you the right way, do you think it is hope, or delusion? From what I have learned through Christianity, when we have a...

Imagine viewing any physical interaction and exploration, such as kissing or sexual intercourse, as mere recreation between two or more people, in the same way people decide to eat an ice-cream for its taste or listen to music because it stimulates their curiosity; watch a movie because it...

I wanted to address the topic of subliminal communication because twice on this forum I asked advice on relationship issues and some members told me to resort to them. It confused me because I equate such methods with the works of Satan. I have been acquainted with the so-called "seduction...

Jesus said not to throw stones at prostitutes. But I lost my patience and dropped a bomb. There is a girl with whom I have (had?) a deep connection (a kind of brother-sister relationship), but since she moved abroad there has been a lot of ambiguity on whether this friendship was becoming more...

A question that has been burdening me since lately is why certain priests or individuals become military chaplains. Since the beginning of time, people have asked their gods/God to support them in war, in conquering other people, protecting one's country from others' or vanquishing enemy...

Society sees separation and divorce as a solution to a problem, but I think finding out the root of the problem so that it doesn't happen in first place may be more important, since the cause should be solved rather than just the symptom. I previously asked about one possible factor that...

Open-mindedness is seen as a positive value and trait in one's personal development, but often it is difficult to reconcile it with ones' principles. As a general rule, most say that being open-minded means traveling, learning about and from other people, cultures, lifestyles, and staying open...

Is it wrong to choose celibacy (for example, but not only, in the form of priesthood) when you dislike the mechanisms of your society, especially regarding its ways with romance and love? (Example: you don't agree with the common notion of "right person" and the common practice of repeatedly...

What does the Bible say about how to behave when one is physically attacked (e.g. by a street gang, skinheads, etc.) to the point that your life is at threat? In a few days I am traveling to a country where the risk of aggression is quite high. When the Romans came to unjustly arrest Jesus...

...don't you stop believing as well? For numerous aspects I have always been considered "strange" wherever I moved: my background, education, skin color, hobbies, etc. and my personality. As a teenager, this resulted in being excluded by my peers, sometimes even being physically...

I have a general, non-religious, question, though I would also like to know how a good religious person would behave in my situation. Is it annoying, or even wrong, to apologyze all the time? I don't mean big sorry's for big problems such as the big lie I spoke about here, but apologyzing...

I have come across several sources on the internet, especially in the context of white nationalism, that saythat even Christianity in its purest form is against the marriage of people from different ethnicities (in my country, the word "race" is almost illegal as we have a grim history with...
