    Question about salvation.

    So, I have a question that's been on my mind recently. is it bad if someone were, as a young child (like 5 or 6 years old), to get saved mainly because they didn't want to go to hell? I only ask because, well that's why I got saved. I was about 6 years old, and I repented of my sins, mainly...

    Question about curse words?

    I always thought it was about conviction myself, (I see some professing Christians plainly use curse words like the f word, s word, etc) and like I said, even some Pastors that I know say the c word. I always thought that referring to a circumstance that God plainly controls and saying "This...

    Can Women Be Pastors?

    Worried I will go to hell?

    I must say, among the many comments about homosexuality going around, that homosexuality, or homosexual acts is/are a Sin, as stated in Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." an abomination is a great sin to God, and as Romans 6:23 says "For...

    What is speaking in tongues?

    What I have heard about it, is it's some "heavenly language, only understood by God" I've also heard that, it's what you do when you don't know what to pray for, or something along those lines. I don't quite understand it, I figure if I don't know what to pray for, I just be silent, and let my...

    All these Social Media Pictures

    You don't have to have a social media account (mostly Facebook) for very long to come across a picture of our Lord on it, saying something like "Like and Share.

    laughing at people when they get hurt?

    Well, I know it sounds bad, and it is, but I watch people doing stupid things on youtube, and when they do it (whether they fall of a skateboard, or a bike, or just get hurt in general) It's really funny. But I feel like a Jerk for laughing at them, even though its funny. is it wrong to laugh at...

    Trouble in the Church

    Trouble in the Church

    Oh. please understand, I meant no disrespect or ill terminology to the Father, or his Scripture, I was simply trying (maybe not in the best way) to say that the ESV, if you look at the KJV side-by-side, some of the words the ESV uses, don't even mean the same thing in modern English, that they...
