    Anxious all the time about getting tickets.

    I just got back on the road not too long ago and I am always anxious. I’ve had a history of fender benders and hitting objects but I have never gotten a ticket. I’m always worried that one day I’ll get a speeding ticket or a red light ticket in the mail if not by a police officer. Sometimes I...

    Prayer for my neighbor and I regarding car insurance

    I had a fender bender with a Persian neighbor who doesn't speak English very well. I accidentally backed into his car when in a hurry to get to work. Because of the minor language barrier it was very rough to get the information we need from each other to make claims on our insurances and file...

    Not getting along well with someone

    I have been at my wit's end with somebody. He is a Christian but I find him judgmental and radical. Today when I mentioned Harvest Crusade and Greg Laurie, he went on and on about how he was antagonized by Calvary chapel pastors. But I think that is judging an entire denomination based on the...

    Codependency Dilemma

    I reunited with an old Christian I met on facebook from before I got saved. We were close and his mom liked me too and they came from georgia to california to visit me once. They shared the gospel with me. I cut ties with him for a while because he was nothing but clingy on me 24/7 and had a...

    Responding to a KJV advocate

    I met someone over skype who claimed that the newer translations (NIV, ESV, NASB, etc) took verses out of God's word and that the people who translated them are cursed because of revelation 22:18-19. Therefore he claims that only the KJV and earlier are the only bibles that haven't been...

    Can you help me refute this claim that Jesus isn't the messiah?

    I was browsing around and saw a Jews for Judaism page that contained reasons why they think Jesus isn't the messiah. I'd like help in refuting this one in particular: The Messiah must be from the Tribe of Judah and a Descendant of King David AND King Solomon The Messiah must be a member of...

    Feel like I committed unforgivable sin and worried that I can't be forgiven

    So I have yet another question. What does it mean to blaspheme against the holy spirit? Because before I was saved, I once thought that Jesus was the devil in disguise. And I have also been pressured into saying the sinner's prayer and then after that I turned away from Jesus. But then I...

    Day of the Lord on September 24 2015?

    Someone told me that the day of the lord will possibly be on September 24 2015 and I did my own research on it. They think the day of the lord is coming because there's rumors that an asteroid will strike the earth on that day, as well as the pope speaking to congress on the same day. I'm unsure...

    Dealing with a strange person in my life

    I know someone who claims to be a Christian, but he is just plain weird. He doesn't seem to actually accept Jesus as his lord and savior. He said Jesus is the Son of God but he doesn't think that Jesus is God. But the strange part is that he thinks his death taught men to die for their own sins...

    Guilty of virtual assault

    So it's kind of a long story and it's hard to explain but 4 years ago before I was saved by Jesus I really disliked a girl I knew online who was in a relationship with one of my friends. For example I didn't like her mean jokes and the way she teased me. I was raised in the Jewish faith but was...

    Guilty and having trouble forgiving myself

    Long ago when I was a kid I showed my younger sister my penis for no good reason because I was being stupid. I feel as though I knew better, but I did it anyway. As if to taunt her. It was immature of me and she was too young to see that. I know I shouldn't cry over spilled milk and I do accept...
