I can't remember where I saw/heard this, but it struck a chord with me and made me ponder it. If there really is such a thing as an "age of accountability", then why would abortion be wrong? If there really was a certain age, under which you are guaranteed salvation and eternity in glory...

What is the difference between "bearing good fruit" and "doing good works"? Are they essentially the same thing or are they different? If you believe they are different would you be able to give examples of "fruit" and examples of "works" please.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God In this well known verse, which of the two is Paul referring to when he calls if a gift from God? I should clarify Option 3. This option would be for those who attribute Salvation itself (coming...

I am currently having some doubts about Christianity that I was never expecting to have. They have come out of the blue and have shaken me a bit. I am 100% sure that Jesus is real, I have experienced His love and guidance in my life already, so my doubts are not about that. My doubts are...

Feel like I am having a crisis of faith or something recently, not in terms of who the Messiah is or what He came and did for us, but in terms of how we respond to it. I look at my life and see that I am a little bit more Holy than I used to be, this encourages me. (although I still have far...

Just wondering what people thought about this? Apostle Paul's writings seem to forbid such a thing, I am unsure what to think..... BBC News - Church of England

Is anybody else concerned at the advertising that is seen on this forum? talk about things that might lead others to stumble....

There is one part of the bible that scares me more than any other part. I will post it at the end of this, but I want to explain why is scares me first. Most people would say that a person who makes Jesus Christ their Lord is a 'christian' right? If that 'christian' is prophesying in His...

26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves...

I was quite surprised to find that almost nobody at my church agreed with me when I spoke about the fallen angels in Genesis 6. They refused to even give consideration to the "sons of God" being anything other than humans. The translators of the NIV and Good news clearly agree that we are not...

OK, most people here (I assume) will subscribe to the idea that we are all responsible for our actions. When something bad happens, we always say that it is because of man and his sinful nature, it could never be God who caused such evil. But how does this work in light of what were are told...

As some of you may know (from previous posts/threads) I suffer from M.E (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) more commonly known in some parts as CFS (Chronic fatigue Syndrome). As i am unable to work, i currently have to claim benefits and in doing so am required to partake in what is called 'Work...

The greatest commandment is to love God. The more I learn about God in my 'Christian walk' the more in awe of Him I become, the more fearful of Him I become and the more thankful for Him I become, but how do help myself to really love Him? Is it something I can do, or is this a matter of...

I have been seeing a lot of videos and blogs lately that suggest the great flood in the days of Noah was about more than just sin. More emphasis is put onto the need to eradicate the the offspring of the fallen angels, rather than just to wipe out sinful man. The theory behind this: When God...

Is there a contradiction between these two verses? We are told that ONLY the father knows the day and time of the final judgement. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. ~ Matthew 24:36 But we see that demons clearly recognised Jesus...

Because I currently have CFS (Chronic fatigue syndrome) I have been out of work for a few years. My condition is slowly improving, but as yet I am still under my doctor's advice to rest. In the UK we have a state benefit for people that are not working due to illness, it is called ESA...

My wife has just witnessed my 5 year old son being pinned to a wall by another child with a hand around his throat screaming in his face that "God isn't real, God is stupid" This happened in the playground before school was about to start. She told the boy to stop and that God was real, even...

My wife and I are seriously considering educating our children at home for several reasons, but mainly because we feel that school's promote a far too worldly way of thinking. We are still undecided (although starting to feel it is what we are being guided to do) and so I was hoping to get...

One thing that stands out to me about the Church (here in the UK at least) is that they tend to sugar coat the message. They never look into Revelations (beyond the letters to the seven Churches) or Daniel's vision. We never discuss the end times or the Antichrist. We don't talk about the...

I need help (a lot it seems) understanding the word of the bible. I really want to embrace it and find strength in it, but so much of it still confuses me. Almost everyday lately I am finding something else that I just can't wrap my head around (possible due to my mental health). The...
