When I was a newer Christian a couple of years ago, one issue I struggled with was doubting my salvation because I perhaps did not feel conviction over sin enough to come to Christ. My problem was that I did not feel as upset over my sins as I thought I should have. I acknowledged I was born a...

So here's the deal and I am in a bizarre situation. My parents have this tendency to be...overbearing..but here's the thing, I get they want to make sure I am okay, but what they have been doing recently has been getting out of hand. I am 20 years old, and whenever I go take a walk or try to...

First of all, before you answer, let me say right off the bat this is not an issue that I am personally dealing with, but someone did ask me today if a Christian could date and even marry someone who happens to be bisexual. Now, my initial thought process was, assuming that the person who was...

I don't get why, but I always end up struggling with one thing, which may not be sinful in the eyes of some, but it is from my perspective. I have a nasty tendency to over-eating. I don't know why but it's almost like every half hour I end up in the fridge looking for something to eat. I know...

I do not mean citing the Bible by chapter and verse. I mean citing it for a research paper or report, using the "MLA format". Would you have to include the publisher, and things like that? Or is the Bible considered in the public domain? (I don't know where to put this question, so I put it here.)

Let's say you have a thread where a lot of people are posting and seems really active, BUT THEN, all of a sudden you make your own post and have effectually "killed" the thread, and it sinks to the second page and you don't get why.

I am certain you have heard of "23 Minutes in Hell" or that book Mary K Baxter wrote, where they claimed that they died, and went to, and literally saw hell, for the purpose of telling other about it. There are also numerous other stories of people dying and seeing something, but do these type...

What would the difference be between studying the bible or just reading it. I listen to audio bibles, and read it myself, but I feel I never get the fulness of what's in the text. I have sometimes read the same chapters over and over to get the "feeling" of it but I always go away feeling like I...

I must have ate something I should not have this morning, or last night, because I threw up a lot this morning. I was surprised because I have not dealt with vomiting in several years, but needless to say my throat is kinda burnt up after that and I worried about it happening again but I am...

John 14:26 (Jesus speaking) "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

The Jehovah's Witnesses deny that Jesus was resurrected from the dead in the same body he died in. I have heard also that Charles Taze Russell (the JW guy) came out of the Adventist movement, and JW's deny that Jesus was raised bodily from the dead. What does the SDA church teach about the...

I thought I would post up my own testimony on here, what I know of it, so here goes: I was born and raised in a Catholic family. I went through all the Catholic ritual, such as infant baptism, confirmation and communion and confession and all that. I did not do it because I actually wanted to...

Just a curious question, what Bible translation is most commonly used in Baptist churches, or what does yours use? I am just curious. I personally prefer the King James Version, but the church I go to uses primarily the ESV and NIV. I was not a huge fan of the modern versions but I decided to...

I cannot believe I need to ask this, and it's probably embarassing, but..how do you follow Jesus? By that I mean, I need something deeper than "read the bible and pray". I can do these things, but I need to know how to "put into play" so to speak, what I read about, and pray about. But how? How...

I was raised in the Roman Catholic church but after my new found faith in Christ I have been attending a Baptist church for the last few months. On Christmas day the Baptist church I go to does not hold any service so my parents asked me to go with them to their Catholic church. To be perfectly...

Just a quick question for all those who use a lot of youtube and watch videos there a lot. What's your favorite youtube sermon. Personally I like these two the best. They are The Warrant of Faith by Charles Spurgeon (someone reading it anyway) and Dr. Law and Dr. Grace by Lester Roloff. The...

Has anyone ever had this problem? I have PowerPoint but when I try and open it up I get a message that says it's unable to locate component and it fails to open because of some kind of file called MSVCR80 was not found. Anyone have this problem? What can I do?

I meet with one of the pastors of my church every Friday. We basically meet for about an hour every week reading a chapter of the bible and him teaching me about it. As a young believer I am helped sometimes by him sort of "mentoring" me. But how are some ways that I can thank him back? Or...

I have a tough Math final to take real soon. Just asking for prayers that I can get through this thing. Because I need to pass it. If I don't pass this time, I get another shot on Friday but I am hoping I can pass it today. Thanks.

I would like to ask for prayer about me finding work. I don't have a job yet and my parents are struggling sometimes to make ends meet. I have had so much on my plate right now but I need prayer to find a job, I figure I need one anyway, and I can help my parents too. Please pray that I can find...
