Sounds to me like this is just YET another sectarian thread on your behalf. It's more important to you, it seems, that Protestantism gets bashed than a proper, calm debate occurs? And to take your sectarianism further, you also appear to be full of hatred towards Protestants and your main...

I didn't. But I'm (working up the nerve to) starting to write it ALL, from the beginning. It may become enough to make a book. I'm happy to share it, when I manage to put anything coherent together (PM me if you like) Thankyou for the encouragement.

Very well put. Those who choose to join the religion known as "atheism" need a hell (lol) more faith than Christians do...

The symbols would be of their gods, of which there are many. Would you be prevented from wearing a cross or such? If not, then it is not really something you can take issue about. However, your uneasiness may be the holy spirit prompting you to get out of that place. While not wanting to assume...

In the world, but not of it. I stay in touch with non Christian, atheist, Muslim etc friends. Why not? But find yourself a Christian study/worship group with similar beliefs as your own new ones and that can nourish you and help you grow in your faith.

Your advice sucks. And your relationship idea is unscriptural and not in line with Gods direction on that matter.

Thanks for telling me I'm not saved. That's really great. I don't know where or how you got that notion but it isn't true. I'm also not going to get into a silly once saved always saved or not debate, but suffice it to say that there is ZERO question over my salvation. Hi, thanks. You've "got"...

This is so contrary to scripture it's difficult to even figure out how you came up with that conclusion!

I did not come on here to post this. But I feel sort of compelled to. God, right? So, to some story. There's a few issues going on, you'll see. I'm 28 (which feels VERY old), single, male, saved when I was 16 and baptised at 20. I was brought up Presbyterian, joined an Elim church...

How do you know?

I've had that dread in the mornings before with certain jobs, and since left them after I ran out of endurance. One guy I met when I was new to the whole job thing, who was fairly formative in my early job attitudes, said "the days I get up and hate the thought of going to work, that's the...

My apologies if this sounds like teaching you to suck eggs, but - Are you sure you are called to be celibate, and why do you believe that? Along with that, or after thinking about that, I would suggest considering the words of Paul in that those who burn (yearn for a spouse) should not, but...

What on earth are you talking about?! I can't figure out if you mean once someone is saved, or after the 2nd coming...

Those won't help, so don't worry. I've been where you are. I would suggest to you that the first person you need is a Christian who will listen to you, in a counselling sense. NOT a counsellor, but a person who will just listen and let you talk. Putting it all out there means you can stack it...

I believe that work like this does not go unnoticed. I have heard so many instances of people doing the same kind of thing as you (doing others work, not making a fuss, rising above it etc) and ending up being selected for promotion, or being well rewarded, and/or winning over the respect of the...

This is in direct contradiction to scripture. Being a martyr is the best possible way to begin to live. Many instances can be shown of people who have been witnessed by the deaths of Christians in front of them. Take Saul, later Paul, as your #1 example of this. Yes, that's just what...

To be perfectly blunt, I have no interest in convincing you to believe in any religion at all. I have one message, that is, Christ crucified. No religion. No worthless rituals. No faking. Just a personal, wonderful, vibrant relationship with the God who became man so that He could save us...

OK, I get you. I will say this, fully knowing that it may annoy you, but even if you don't think yourself a leader, nay, know you're not a leader - God sees you as a leader. God sees every man as a leader. I think the very fact that you're on here, asking, shows that you have a couple of...

Her spiritual well being is her concern. She must maintain her own relationship with Jesus. The other part - it's on you, I'm afraid. It's a spiritual principle you will have to conquer. But you don't have to be a leader - do it through Christs strength. Gideon never thought he was a leader...

LOL! So true. Food slapped is just as good as food presented. Better in some cases. BUT Yes, you should be happy about it. Having that resentment just shows that God didn't fully win that battle inside you. You only did it because you had to. There was no joy in doing what God wanted you to...
