    The a-social and introverted

    Jesus himself liked being alone. He was alone for 40 days. He also liked being alone to pray. Jesus also said to go into your closet alone to pray. Being solitary can be a good thing. It can help bring you closer to God.

    The a-social and introverted

    I don't go to church nor do I have friends...it's a long story why, although I just can't really trust people anymore. I trust God. I read my Bible and pray. I think it's a myth that you absolutely have to be face to face with people to have fellowship. I usually like online fellowship with...

    Feeling like the devil is influencing me.

    I hope we all become better people as a whole. I will work on being a better person too. May God help us to achieve that.

    Feeling like the devil is influencing me.

    Sometimes I say things out of pride that I don't mean to say and it hurts others. I'm trying to change that, but seems like the devil has taken ahold of me recently. I hate that I do this. It takes a bit before I realize that I hurt someone's feelings. I pray to God to help me out of this. I...

    Can You Get Closer to God By Fasting?

    Jesus Christ had a 40 day/night fast and probably didn't pig out on jewish junkfood right afterward. LOL He probably made sure his body was not flabby the whole time he was alive in the flesh, since he was always walking :)

    Is Tithing for the Christian today?

    Pastor/preacher shouldn't be a job title. We don't need Hirelings. Anyone can preach the Gospel. A church that tithes is just scamming its congregation. John 10:11-13 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the...

    If God made the human body in his image, which makes it holy.

    A Polish Example Of Anti-Abortion Legislation

    What about a teenager that didn't know any better became pregnant by her boyfriend at the tender age of 13? I've seen young teens with huge baby bumps...and it sickens me to see a child carrying a child inside her belly. I wonder what would you do? Abort or Not abort?

    Can You Get Closer to God By Fasting?

    God has made humans in his image. And the body is a temple. 1 Corinthians 6:19 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

    Can You Get Closer to God By Fasting?

    A lot of homeless use money as a way to buy drugs/alcohol. And I've personally seen "homeless people" that were more monetarily richer than I've ever been.

    Is Tithing for the Christian today?

    The best thing would be having a gathering of Christians outside of any building and sharing their Bible studies and worship together. Everyone should worship without having to give money for anything. Or else it makes church seem like a strip club, giving "tithes" for what you see and hear.

    Is Confession to a Priest Necessary?

    I would rather pray to God and then if I wronged a person , go to that person and say sorry then do what was possible to help the situation, so that everything will be good again. I was raised Catholic...although I moved on and became a Christian that reads the Bible daily. May God bless you.

    Is Tithing for the Christian today?

    Tithing was written about in the old testament, but it never was associated with money. Pastors/preachers should be ashamed to ask for Tithes. It's offensive to God that Pastors/preachers are making a living off of the Gospel. Preaching a sermon should be done for free. Jesus never asked for...

    Can You Get Closer to God By Fasting?

    I don't believe fasting brings a Christian closer to God. I've known Christians that did fasts and then loaded themselves with junk food right after a fast, because their body was craving salt and sugar. Not everyone can fast due to medical issues. Things that DO bring true Christians closer...

    Jobs for no pay

    If someone is forcing you to work with no pay...that is slavery. If you want to volunteer doing stuff that you like, then it's totally fine. A preacher/priest shouldn't force people to do anything. But some people are actually Sheeple that follow the wolf in sheep clothing.

    Pope: When giving to the poor, look them in the eyes

    I've also seen "homeless people" with wallets full of cash. There are plenty of fake homeless that want only money...I tell them to get a job.

    Man who named his children Adolf Hitler and Arian Nation claims unfair treatment

    There was a case recently somewhere in the US that a kid got banned from elementary school just because his name was Messiah. I thought the USA has freedom of speech and parents have the right to name their children as they want to. I personally wouldn't name any child such crazy names. The...

    Dog hit by car

    How badly is your dogs pelvis broken? I've volunteered at animal shelters for over 9 years and some dogs with broken pelvises got surgery done and have been rehabilitated. Can your dog be healed through surgery? Or getting something amputated to make it heal and be ok?

    Pope: When giving to the poor, look them in the eyes

    I whole heartily agree with looking into their eyes. I would never give homeless people money...just what they actually "need" (food, blanket, clothes). Go with them to a store to buy them things. I've personally seen too many homeless buying drugs/alcohol with money that a good meaning person...
