First, I was raised non-religious /non-christian /agnostic-atheist. From experience, lovingly i plead you, Do not with hold the truth of God from them. Jesus warns us not to hinder children from coming to him. This does huge damage. I know from experience. Second, don't focus on a...

Thank you all my Christian brothers and sisters forgreat imput. I still struggle a little giving any kind of money to them but I think I will take Albion's advice and consider this more of a service. I guess it's better than a completely secular day care and there isn't any better options for...

Hello brothers and sisters. I am a little late in this but I just realized that the Presbyterian Church (pcusa) officially rewrote their definition of marriage to include same sex marriage. this is NOT a forum debating whether or not same sex marriage is a sin or not. we can save that for...

i work in the cell phone industry. there is only 1 reason why people delete messages and content like that. i see it every day. marriage is very hard. and after God, your spouse should be the most important person in your life. no "friendship" is worth hurting or alienating or making your...

that is not what the bible teaches at all. john14.6 Jesus says "No one comes to the Father except through me" referring to Jesus. not the catholic church.

thank you for that verse. that is really awesome. obviously forshadowing jesus. but i still dont see where even when you add the 7 books of the catholic bible are catholics getting the whole "if you arent catholic you arent christian" from. i dont really know what willieT means by setting a...

thanks for that article. that is a good read and an interesting resource. so the 7 missing books of the old testement. other than praying for the dead which basically adds purgatory to the conversation. what sort of content is in those 7 books that creates such division? are there any more...

so i believe the bible and the whole bible. including christs revealed truths in the bible. are there other revealed truths that catholics subscribe to that arent in the bible?

i am a fairly new christian. i was raised buddhist/"spiritual" so as a child i never went to church, nor did i know anything about jesus (other than thats why we have christmas) so needless to say i am not really up on all the differences between all the different traditions and denominations...

hello friends. recently Mars Hill took down there older sermon series' the one im particularly bummed about is the genesis series that pastor mark preached. does anyone know of any website or of anyone who has taken the time to download these sermons? i would really like to get a copy of them. i...

if you love and serve jesus as our god and only god then you are saved. when you are reading the bible and start feeling really crummy about yourself and you feel like a horrible person then you are reading it correctly. the point is that we have all sinned against god and have all fallen short...

i will start by praying for you brother. what you are going through is a real and physical and mental struggle. im sure at times it can feel like witholding yourself from food. like you are starving and you turn to masturbation the way a starving man at a buffet would turn to food. i will...

our culture is NOT a christian culture. it is not based around giving and serving. our culture is a worldly consumer culture where most motives are based around self. if our main goal is to deciple and spread the gospel of Jesus then we as christians have to be careful not to remove ourselves...

you mean after i spent the equivalent of my entire lifetime or longer on my knees crying for joy? i will probably get on his nerves always wanting to hang out with him and ask him questions lol

what are your thoughts?. i understand that if my father is an alcoholic then i have a greater chance of being an alcoholic and some would consider that a curse but to be cursed of god generationally, it just seems outside of the character of jesus to curse us. that even though im saved by jesus...

hey there i find your post very interesting. i too am a converted atheist and, while ,now as a christian, i believe with everything you have said. i do not think it would go over too well with the atheist community lol. at least it wouldnt have with me or the crew that i ran with back in the...

hey dcalling, thanks for your imput. i try really hard not to judge people in that respect. i always maintain that only Jesus knows who his people truly are. but let me ask you this. when you were an atheist attending church every sunday (which is awesome btw) did you consider yourself a...

while i am constantly amazed to see Gods work in my life, i have never actually "heard" God speak to me. there seems to be alot of people who want to personally and audibly hear from God. these seem to be the same people who dont regularly pick up the bible and read the living word that he...

its true that Jesus never loses a Christian. so when someone tells me that they used to go to church all the time and followed Jesus but now they just dont "feel" him anymore, its a little frustrating. as an outsider looking at my friends life, i can see beyond the lies of the enemy, i can see...

First of all anxiety anger and sorrow arent sins. the mere fact that you feel bad about your sin is a good sign tho. there are 3 parts to repentence. contrition, confession and amendment. contrition is simply feeling bad about your sin. confession is naming your sin, bringing it to God and...
