For most of my life I have voted Republican solely on the issue of abortion. I wanted to vote for Obama in 2008 and in 2012, but I held my nose and voted GOP because I thought I was doing the right thing on abortion. Growing up in church it was preached that God would hold anybody who voted for...

So what I am gathering here is being a Republican is pretty much essential to being a Christian? Being that I don't support most of the things the current Republican Party stands for, I have already walked away? That makes sense. In regards to a young earth, believing in that is a complete...

I was raised strict Independent Fundamental Baptist. After getting out of my parents house I walked away from church for a while but then came back to more moderate Southern Baptist theology. I now attend a non-denominational church that is pretty much Southern Baptist in its beliefs. There...

To be fair, the four blood moons prophecy hasn't proven false yet, but I wonder why I should put any stock in it when he has made so many prophecies over the years that have not come to pass. I am a firm believer that if one is a true prophet of God, they will be consistently correct. As soon...

I am sure everyone here is familiar with John Hagee. He has been in the end times prophecy prediction business longer than I can remember. There has recently been a lot of excitement among my fellow believers in regards to his Four Blood Moons prediction. My question is, given the man's track...

In my family we did and I have several friends that do as well. Not necessarily equal to the Bible but that if you are a real Christian you will generally support James Dobson. Dobson would have been better and much more correct in saying that people like the shooter are a result of a...

Most of my fellow Christians follow James Dobson religiously and if I openly admit to disagreeing with James Dobson I might as well be denying the Bible. However, I am a bit disturbed that he said that the school shooting was God's judgment for America's tolerance of homosexuality and abortion...

I left homosexuality and came back to Christ back in summer 2010. It was a long process as the lifestyle nearly completely destroyed my life, and there are things that I am still working through but I despise my old sinful lifestyle and never want to return to it even though the world says its...

After I graduated college I fell into the sin of homosexuality. I struggled with it my entire life and unfortunately fell into it and all the debauchery that goes with it. It ended up moving me across the country, destroying my life, and my career. I since have left the lifestyle and am...

Completely different situation but I get what you are saying. My point is this group is separating by age at a stage of life when age is far less relevant. I support separating by life stages like youth, college, career, engaged, married, etc but by age is stupid after about 21 unless its by...

I started going to a new small group a couple months ago, and just as I was really getting adjusted to the community, and really enjoying it, I am abruptly kicked out of the group. Why? I turned 26, and the group's age range is 20-25. Does anybody else find this a bit cruel? I understand...

Thanks for all the replies thus far. Part of me feels like I haven't done enough to change this group but the other part of me feels like I am such a fish out of water that there wouldn't even be a point. I am thinking I should just bite the bullet, go to the restaurant tomorrow night, to end...

I am currently in the process of trying to leave a small group I've been part of for the past year. To make a long story short, I am leaving it for two reasons. First, I struggle with homosexuality, have left the lifestyle, the leader knows this, yet still makes fun of gay people non-stop. I...

God doesn't require heterosexuality, only sexual purity. Many Christians struggle with homosexuality their entire lives. That temptation really is no different than heterosexual lust, its all sin in the eyes of God. Everybody has something they struggle with. God will never give us more...

I am 25 and in pretty much the same boat you are. Had no friends in high school. It was four years of torture, and college was even worse. I was completely ostracized by everybody. Would give anything for close male friends but this struggle gets in the way of that, and causes me to feel...

First, I'll start with some background information. I am a 25 year old male. I grew up in a strict Independent Fundamental Baptist home. I was heavily involved in church and serving God throughout my entire upbringing. Somehow or another, when I was in my early teens I began to have...
