    Concerned about the political situation in USA.

    I agree with what you write here, it's just so strange that Americans don't seem to be aware of the situation as I can only guess it's generally understood in the rest of the world, but are very emotionally involved in the politics. I can't possibly guess what about Trump is so inspiring, but he...

    Concerned about the political situation in USA.

    I realize that media in the USA are very divided and partisan, and I don't believe that one side is good and one side bad. However in the rest of the world, I'm quite convinced that people interpret the politics in the same way that I've tried to explain above, that the Republican Party is not...

    Hello, new here and I have a question.

    Hi and welcome to the forums, I hope you'll find the things you are looking for, and I hope you are blessed. I am wondering myself about how to find Christian friends. Where I live it seem like most Christians are people that have grown up as believers, and never known anything else, while I've...

    Concerned about the political situation in USA.

    I follow news from around the world, but specially USA have been worrying with such a division between it's citizens because of politics. Also I'm worried in particular for Christian brothers and sisters, as it seem like the Republican Party have a huge influence on Christians, and to me it seem...

    When I googled "Dr.Cole Vaccine" and at once found an article on factcheck.org with a video explaining untruths the doctor have claimed: Video: Idaho Doctor Makes Baseless Claims About Safety of COVID-19 Vaccines - FactCheck.org

    Burdensome Friendship

    Perhaps you can try to talk to your friend about this? I realize I'm probably just a person like your friend, cause I will give excuses not to talk in the phone, and to not meet, since I have difficulties with social activities and I get nervous by the idea of talking in the phone, but I do...

    Is my faith only a figment of my imagination?

    The whole reason I became Christian to start of with, was because I, as a practicing Buddhist thought I should study Christianity closer and see if there's anything in it that would make me think that it's not just another phenomena of the mind, that come and go, and make up moments of my mind...

    This is a controversial topic I know but I need advice.

    It sound like a sad situation, to be married, but just living in the same house as someone else. Perhaps you should let her know how you feel? And you two could agree to give each other more, and positive attention. You shouldn't need to be afraid, so I can only urge you to work against that...

    the Covid Vaccine and the Christian thing to do

    I can't think of any reason to have a specific "Christian thing to do" with regard to vaccines, just like there's not any specific Christian way to make dinner, watch movies, garden work etc. That's just how I think anyway. My 96 year old gradfather got both doses, so do my mum, dad, brother...

    Pregnant man and gender neutral pregnant person Emoji approved for smartphone use

    It's a confused world, and when people think the universe came into being as an explosion coming from nothing that also created everything, and everything is random and nothing make any sense, I guess it's perhaps about trying to be unique and be looked at as tolerant and fair.

    Please pray for me to get the strenght I need to stop drinking

    I'm having a blood test Monday to check the amount of alcohol, I guess to know how to help me, that I need to deliver in before I get into rehab. I'm pretty scared, afraid of how sick I'll become, have been drinking for several months, and I really don't want to end up as an old, damaged drunk...

    Please pray for my wife and myself

    You got a wife that's being violent? And she is the one threatening to leave? When mentioning this, why do you want reconciliation? Have she asked for forgiveness? Is it a "normal" thing to happen? Cause it's my opinion nobody should accept being abused. I'll rather pray that you'll get blessed...

    My wife doesnt think this bumper sticker on my jeep should be on a christians car, i thinks its funn

    I tend to agree with you that it's light humor and not particularly offensive, but at the same time many might use it as an excuse to talk ill of God, and not everyone have the same humor, and I really think this is a matter for you and your wife, not a theological question at all. If it means a...

    Gosh i feel unworthy to post....

    I know the puzzled feeling from being unsure of where to post, and I agree that asking for advice seem to be a OK place to start. I think I've wasted even more time then you, if that in any way could make you feel better. It really is a beautiful verse in the bible, where it says that we are...

    Did my dream have any kind of meaning?

    Then we agree about that. This isn't the answer to the question in my post though, so I wonder what the meaning of your answer is. King Nebuchadnezzar had a strange dream that Daniel told the meaning of. It was a dream that greatly troubled the king, and only the most wise had any answer. So if...

    Hebrews 6:4: Scared about my Salvation

    Yes, salvation is still there. It is a lifelong battle for us all to stay true to our faith in Jesus. There's no point at which we can go to where salvation is forever out of reach for us, because we have been close to God earlier, or too far away. However the more we turn our back to God, the...

    Did my dream have any kind of meaning?

    Perhaps because He wanted me to become curious and find Christian brothers and sisters to talk about the bible with. I don't know, I don't know the mind of God. I just know this dream have been put on my mind.

    Re: God wants to waste my life - to Him I say "in Jesus' Name Amen"?

    My thoughts to what you wrote here is very clearly that you seem to have ideas about God that I don't recognize as the God I've gotten to know, and I'm pretty sure that most Christians would agree with me that God don't want to waste your life, nor did he hate Esau, and that it's a strange thing...
