    In your opinion what does it mean to be a "good christian"?

    I've heard the term said a lot, but I am really curious what some of you think about it. What is a "good christian" in your opinion or what defines someone as being a "good christian"?

    My father put his hands on me. How can I be Christlike and forgive him?

    You have to make a decision to love him and forgive him and move back or live on your own. Good luck either way. But this doesn't surprise me in today's day and age. My dad was beaten regularly by his parents and he loved them till the day they died and never talked back or threatened his...

    Do you believe in hell?

    You are being dismissive of my beliefs. If you can't see a possibility that what I posted can override or nullify those . It's fine that you don't have to believe in mine, but ridiculing me with things saying I don't read the bible religously and an uninformed is false and condescending. I...

    Do you believe in hell?

    Opinion definition= a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. And you can't factually prove anything you are saying, so.......Unless you can show me physical proof of this place of hell you are so confident about, it's nothing more than an opinion...

    Do you believe in hell?

    John 5:16 could mean a number of things. Obviously living a sinning lifestyle will take a toll on you in many ways so.... Nice Big Lebowski quote, because it is your opionion man. NOT A FACT, whether how much faith you have behind it. It's not a fact, it's a view/opinion. So don't try...

    Do you believe in hell?

    To fulfill the prophecies for one and to repent for EVERYONE'S SINS. It all depends on your interpretation of the bible. You can look at those and refuse to acknowledge, or "ignore" these as proof of the opposite of what you say: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one...

    i just want someone to talk with

    I was gonna suggest listening to music through earphones, but it seems you are already there. Some other ways to drown them out: -Sing your favorite songs outloud and focus on them as you sing -Get a pair of earplugs to wear occassionally to drown them out -Ignore them as best you can. Mostly...

    Why people believe in hell

    This debate has always interested me. I have some ideas on it now. And if you are truly a believer in Jesus, you'd wish and pray that no one goes to hell due to the whole concept of it. Eternal punishment and pain is an unconscionable thing to put anyone through. Do people really believe Jesus...

    Do you believe in hell?

    Perhaps I should have altered the title and such to tell what I really wanted then. I've given you information that makes what you are saying debatable and inconcrete, especially to me. That's fine that you believe that for your reasons, I have no problems with that. I just wanted to get as much...

    i just want someone to talk with

    Ask them if it's ok to go if you don't drink or smoke. Most of my friends drink and smoke but are really nice moralistic people otherwise and don't give me any peer pressure for things like that. See if those guys would do the same.

    Do you believe in hell?

    I honestly don't know what to believe, that's why I made this post. There is a lot inconclusive information out there on christianity and hell. I am just trying to figure this out as best I can with "a community of christians". What you/others gave me is not "scriptures to support their...

    Knowing. Anyone see it?

    I'm talking about the Nicholas Cage movie Knowing. Anyone watch it? It was given mixed reviews, but it's supposed to have some biblical references and such in it. Wondering if it's worth a watch?

    i just want someone to talk with

    That's a tough situation. I'd suggest some ideas/things to help you with this if you wanted to try them: -Wear a promise ring. I don't know if you are a virgin or not, if you are, boom works great for you. If not, get 2 cheap rings and give your girlfriend 1 and tell her and other people that...

    Do you believe in hell?

    That's the thing. Jesus not that I can recall EVER mentioned hell, and only 1 of the gospels mentioned it as a place (matthew). Please prove me wrong if you believe it otherwise.

    Do you believe in hell?

    I know about revelation, which many catholics have told me is they learned revelations was a prophetic vision for the end of the roman empire (and it made sense to me when they described it). And none of those other quotes directly say sinners go to "a literal hell", and it also could be...

    i just want someone to talk with

    Welcome. To me it sounds like you are battling with some anxiety and depression brought on from your life situation, correct? And an obvious fear of death, which any honest person will tell you has crossed them at one point or another. My honest suggestion, talk about these things with your...
