I use to be really bad talking to people. I didn't go out much either. There were several issue, and these are issue I had not necessarily that you have them, but they were some of mine. The first is that I was judgemental. Thought I was better than everyone else. I didn't word it that way...

I should clarify I'm not baptist I just can't figureout how to change my denomination on here.

So, its been a long time since Ive been on this forum but I'm back! Ive recently been focusing a whole lot on making friends and being more open and genuine with people. However Ive run into a strange issue, at 26 years old I'm not really sure where to go to meet people. My church is far away...

i"m just posting cause i'm in the same exact situation. I converted last year, and while there are actually a number of people in my parish my age (mid 20's) I live an hour and a half away. I'm lucky to make the liturgy once a month. Hopefully in a year or 2 I will finally be able to move closer...

I did take a break from some social networks but right now its not really an option. Long story short I'm involved with a progam I pay for monthly to help further skills in my hobby and a big part of the package is interaction through a facebook group where several professionals, VERY big name...

I already have a firm understanding of scripture. The fact is these guys were in a much better position to intepret scripture than we are. They lived in the same culture in some cases, in some they personally knew the apostles or had contact with them. Its not more dangerous than reading any...

This has been something hounding me for over a year and I feel like I really need to dig into. I want to know the history of the church, what she believed and why and how that changed throughout history, but especially what the people who literally where taught by the apostles themselves said...

I think my struggle is the nature of my sickness. For example, in both of your cases no one who knows you can seriously put forth the idea that the disability is not real. You have doctors who are fully backing you up as having a disability and verifiable physical problems. For me its difrent...

So what do I do then? Because lets be really blatenlty honest, if with the first few weeks of meeting the person your now married to, if you had found out that he was unable to leave his house, unable to work, and doing a very crap job about hiding how much it depressed him, would you have still...

The short and sweet of it is I have some health issues that doctors can't figure out. I'm not going into specifics because I don't want everyone and their grandmother telling me to do all the stuff Ive already done and that its somehow my fault that I'm sick cause I didn't do it right. Just know...

Not really, thats the problem. I could give it to a family member but I really feel like this needs to go to a christian organization. I don't know how to describe it thats just where I lead to give, which is problematic since there arn't many. I'm considering giving it to a place in a nearby...

Why do you think this idea did not come from God? I'm not trying to be rude, or have a wrong heart, but I could put this money to REALLY good use, and not more than a week after committing to obey God in this I had at least one piece of equipment I own break, and Ive sat on my hands or used...

I'm going to try to keep this short and to the point. Several months ago I felt Godly strongly impress upon me a certain amount of money to save up and give to him for use, and to make no more big purchases until I had given that money. So I did, I saved up the money and have had it for several...

I feel like this could have been written by me, expect I'm a guy. I shared this on here not long ago but I'm going to do it again. I'm going to also be blunt that about the fact I'm a hypocrate. I'm trying to change but I am but fall over and over and I'm not going to pretend I'm not. I'm 23...

You guys had some good stuff to say, however there is a problem. I'm physically ill, I'm actually UNABLE to leave my house. I haven't even been out of my house more than maybe 10 times since Christmas (and most of that was doctor visits). Not saying that to start a pity part, but I'm just being...

Within the last few months I felt God strongly impress on me a need to give a specific amount of money and make no more major purchases until I had given it. I complied, saved up, however I'm a place where I can't find a place to give it. I want it to go to help the poor in my area for Christ...

I'm not cherry picking the scriptures but I am not going to ignore them etiher. You could argue that peter did not have the holy spirit yet, and so we can't really use that as a comparison until after he receives the holy spirt. Though he did fall into racism at one point I think that is lightly...

The thing is, this isn't a good comparison. Paul did those things BEFORE he was saved, and BEFORE he was called to minister. A more accurate comparison would be if Paul had been in the middle of writting the one of the epistles and took a break to go hook up with a some random woman. Peter did...

Yes but my actions can disqualify me. For example lets use a hypothetical. God wants me to Lead a church, he wants that church to be solid in his word , he wants that church to grow beleiver who then go on to become leaders in christian and bringing about a new great awakening in america as...

I feel ive done more than just "make mistakes", Ive made bad decisions, bad choices. Ive decided, however painful it is, to destroy every account Ive used with those women. There are 3 people though who I will stay in contact with, because I either never sinned with them or it was a long time...
