    Marriage questions/advice.

    Let me start by saying I did marry an unbeliever. I did know the verse not to be yolked, but I'm foolish and selfish of what I wanted. I love him dearly and we're otherwise fine. He is supportive of my beliefs, and he was prior a Catholic. I do pray for him. I know I can't change him, but to be...

    Chronic illness and guilt.

    Nutshell: I suffer from a disease called gastroparesis. It causes my stomach sometimes to not be able to digest food. It's very painful, and stressful. I often vomit undigested food consumed hours prior. The vomiting is so severe and violent I often lose my voice for days and can barely...

    I'm a Christian but I can't really stand people.

    A verse in a bible has always struck me. Something along the lines of 'you know you've passed from darkness to light when you love other brethren'. That's fine and dandy, I don't hate people and I'm very kind to people (I see no reason to be nasty or mean, and would always offer a helping hand)...

    Sinning

    So, I'm wondering if it's normal to not feel guilty after sinning all the time and having the guilt strike you later) days or weeks). I sometimes act, think, and do things that are certainly not Christ-like and downright sinful. As I'm lying in bed right now my sins are hitting me upside the...

    Blood moons?

    So these blood moons have been strange and falling on Jewish holidays. I guess I'm worried something big will happen. What do you guys think? I'm just still unsettled about the whole tribulation ordeal.

    Feeling guilty?

    I have this weird sense of guilt, the whole 'this is a no-no' feeling of dread when I'm around activities I know aren't so good for a Christian. Is this the Holy Spirit poking at me, or is something else bringing these not so pleasant feelings? I'm not participating yet I feel dread and...

    July 27th Siri message?

    Kinda freaking out. Says opening of the gates of hades. People claim to have debunked it with the cChinese calender but isn't adding up. It sounds silly but I'm a little afraid. Thoughts?

    Weird feeling while praying?

    Is it just me, or do other people get this weird (not bad weird) tingly feeling throughout them? LOL. I know it's an odd question! I was wondering if that was my brain being silly or something else. ^_^

    What causes you to doubt your salvation?

    Odd question, but I often struggle with doubting my salvation. I know our works will not suffice, but our trust upon Christ will. I struggle with wondering if my trust is even enough. Or if I'm relying on my amount of trust rather than Christ. Which is weird but I'm a worrisome person...

    Baptism.

    So, I sound silly but after reading Mark 16:16, it's clear that I need to be baptized. This lesson_13_oes article kind of put it in a different perspective for me. So now I'm worried, what if I die before being baptized? I guess the answer won't be too pretty. I believe and trust in the...

    Evicting a roommate?

    My friend and I are sharing my 1bdr apartment, preparing to transfer to a 2bdr in my complex. Upon living with her... some problems have been abound. 1. I got her a job with me, until she goes back to her old job. She's in a lot of debt with a car note and insurance issues + owes me rent...

    Forgiveness

    So something came to mind about forgiveness. I guess I'll throw out an example... say someone has given you a computer to be fixed. Months pass and the person doesn't seem to care about said PC needing to be fixed. When he does come around asking for it, he wants YOU to jump through hoops to...

    Video games, and such.

    So I recently started back WoW (World of Wacraft) for casual gaming, with friends. This isn't a game I spend hours upon hours, days after days on like a lot of WoW players (I don't even raid, I just like questing lol). It has some no-no stuff like magic, demons, etc. I'm very well aware...

    Backsliding.

    So I haven't been around lately, I've been kind of going back to my old nature - not exactly happily so but slowly but surely. I've began listening to worldy music I know is bad, smoking pot again (I got involved with people who brought me to back to it... uh oh), having sex (this has always...

    Why am I having so much anxiety over the tribulation?

    I don't know if I posted this in the right section or not, so forgive me if it's misplaced! I guess hearing about all the bad things in the world and how the world is getting closer and closer to the tribulation - I'm scared! I don't know which side of the rapture I'm on - I see way more...

    To those who do not believe in OSAS, how would you lose salvation?

    I've seen so many debates, and scriptural references to both. How it seems salvation is eternal, and then on the flip side, how it can be lost. To those who believe that you are NOT always saved - how on earth can you lose it? Aside from simply ceasing to believe God and essentially...

    Somethings on these 'testimonies' don't seem right.

    I have a friend says that several sources claim this to be true. Of course, I can't believe that. Some things don't add up to scripture. Link I honestly couldn't get past most of the stories. Stuff like this struck me wrong... "We continued walking, seeing thousands and thousands of...

    Translations being wrong?

    So I stumbled on this - Holman exposed & NIV exposed And have been told by a few friends that Kings James is the only reliable bible. I'll be honest, reading KJ is a bit of a strain because it's not so much modern language. It does bother me that NIV and other translations took out...

    How do I support my friends?

    Background - I'm a newer Christian, meaning I've believed in God and Jesus for years but never really 'believed' and had the desire to change my life around until Jan of this year. So with this, I have a lot of friends who are very much unbelievers (Atheist, Agnostics, and such. And gay...

    I think God spoke to me?

    So I've been spending a lot of time on Google trying to search answers, instead of relying on Christ and the bible for my answers. It's rough... when I'm scared, I want answers right now. Anyways, after spending much time on the PC... I get off and turn to my bible and decide to spend a...
