    I think I have committed apostasy

    If you had walked away from God in an irreparable manner, you would not feel any desire to go back to Him. Repent, turn to Jesus, pray, read your Bible and go to Church. You will get back to where you want to be, but it will take some effort both to re-immerse yourselves in those truths and...

    Trump Calls for Termination of the Constitution

    Oh you're right, I've never heard that, nor are articles on the subject easily Googlable. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Im a music producer. Will I be able to continue to make music in heaven?

    What we know: - We know God created you the way He created you for a reason, music passion and all. - We know that the New Heavens and New Earth are a place of ultimate fulfillment (and this is our eternity. Heaven is a stop on the way). Who you are doesn't change in Heaven. God does not...

    Trump Calls for Termination of the Constitution

    That was sarcasm. The news always does this, and it's overwhelmingly tiresome at this point.

    Trump Calls for Termination of the Constitution

    I mean the left has been calling the Constitution outdated for how many years now? And suddenly Trump's the one against it?

    So when people "go to heaven" does that mean they become as thin air?

    In Heaven, you have no body. We don't really have any concept of what that means in this life. At the resurrection, you'll get an incorruptible body, the way Jesus did. It'll be like yours but better, eternal, free from the weight of sin.

    Can we have the Holy Spirit within before "technically" coming to repentance?

    That strikes me as right! I mean, I never put it in exactly those words, but yes, there was an intense feeling of rightness and "home." Like finding the place you were always meant for, without realizing it.

    Can we have the Holy Spirit within before "technically" coming to repentance?

    I don't know exactly how it works, but I became a believer in my 20s and I can point to times when I felt things before becoming a believer which directed me to Christ, and which felt similar to the Holy Spirit nudgings I've gotten since. Was this the Holy Spirit? That becomes an interesting...

    Why can't we do more or less whatever we want?

    I used to teach 7th grade, and students would ask what the purpose of various rules was. The seating chart, for example. That didn't involve morality. One seat should be the same as another. Think of a generally rule-abiding kid. Why couldn't that kid sit by his also generally rule-abiding...

    i need advice and fast

    I'm praying for your gums. It is very wrong for the government to tell you how to take care of your own health. :( Green tea capsules can actually be dangerous for your liver, though, because they have very high concentrations of polyphenols. Would they let you simply drink green tea instead...

    Ice breaker clothes

    Spot on. Non-Christians are given an image of Christianity that's "obey these rules or you'll go to hell," just like pretty much any religion out there, and this shirt just plays into those stereotypes. In reality Christianity is unique because it is the ONLY religion out there founded on pure...

    I'm so scared of everything!

    You have my prayers, but it seems to me the answer to your prayers is right there in your signature line. Death isn't an end, it's the beginning of something truly wonderful, where you get to see those you love, lost pets and family members again. I went through something similar to you a few...

    Failing at witnessing to atheists?

    Hi everyone, I'm a long-time-mostly-lurker here, and this thread struck a particular chord with me today because I have been reading and thinking about witnessing. I've even started to venture out on my own and telling my best friend (an Orthodox Jew) about Christianity. Though some of the...

    Help me compile my first hymn playlist.

    Hi, Thank you so much! Those are exactly what I was looking for and your arrangements and singing are just beautiful. God has truly blessed you with musical and artistic talent! God bless. :)

    I think I'm losing my faith in God. Need advice.

    God has a plan, and as much as your circumstances hurt (and I know they can hurt badly enough you don't think you'll ever recover), those painful circumstances are temporary. Everything you are going through will not only end, but all the negative effects of it will be erased. Why does God...

    Help me compile my first hymn playlist.

    Hi everyone, I'm relatively new here, and in many ways relatively new to Christianity. I'm really trying to learn new ways to praise God, and I really feel like hymns and songs should play a crucial role in that. I've been loving reading through this forum, but there is just SO MUCH CHRISTIAN...
