I am not sure if I am being legalistic, overly critical or whether my thoughts are actually correct. I have been attending a church for 5 years. I went to a few churches when I first felt led to go to church and I chose this one simply because it was close to home. However it is a Bible based...

Hi All, I've been a Christian for almost 5 years, I read my bible every day and am now looking to get deeper into my studies by investing in a Study Bible. Could anyone give any pointers to what they consider the best study bible and why? Thanks David PS Dear Admins, I forgot to say, I hope...

When people say they have a personal relationship with Jesus, what does that mean? Do they mean from reading His word and knowing Him that way? Do they mean it's a two way thing. I'm confused because I don't feel I have a personal relationship and therefore can't be saved. I'm not very good...

I heard something the other day I'd never even thought of and that is when we die, what happens? i.e. Are we judged immediately and go to heaven/hell Or do we sleep until judgement day when we are raised a judged. In Acts chapter 7 when Stephen was stoned to death he "fell asleep". When...

Can anyone recommend a good bible to buy for my two children who are 20 & 17? I have Ray Comfort's evidence Bible which has lots of notes and favour that one at the moment. It's NKJV. Thanks David

There are some OT laws that are supposed to have been replaced by the new covenant but is the death penalty one of them?

I am struggling with this commandment. Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. My parents have always treated me like a child, in particular the disrespect they show to me. They treat me and talk to me like I'm...

I have heard many Christians say that we don't choose to be saved, God chooses us. What if I want to be saved but God hasn't chosen me?

The Rich Young Man 17And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. In verse 18 Jesus asks "why do you call me...

Can anyone explain what verses 16&17 mean? I believe in verses 14&15 Jesus is saying the disciples didn't need to fast whilst he is with them but will again once he is taken away from them. 14Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples...

I recently saw a David Platt video where he was talking about NDE's like visitations to heaven/hell etc and I'm sure he said there was no scriptural basis for them. He felt that these were either hallucinations or demonically inspired. I am sure he even referred to the Heaven Is Real story. Todd...

Firstly I hope this is in the correct forum. I have two passages that seem to be in conflict. The first one forbids a practice and the second one seems to show the apostles practicing what is forbidden. Can anyone clarify this for me? Deuteronomy 18:10. "Let no-one be found among you who...

Has anyone tried fasting to get closer to God, to hear him or to get something e.g. healing for a loved one. What are your expeiences? I have been fasting because I want to hear from God, but also some healing from my daughter for her OCD. Tuesdays and Saturdays. The maximum I have managed to...

If we are now saved by believing in Jesus as the Son of God and accepting him into our lives as saviour, what about all the people who died before Jesus even lived? What about those who have lived since but never heard of Jesus? Are they all damned simply because of the time and place they...

Over the last two years my career has been a bit of a big dipper ride with ups and downs. I was doing very well, highly thought of, got promoted then was tempted away by a 'better' company. I prayed and fasted over it but didn't really get any answer. I prayed and fasted that God would send his...

Something has been playing on my mind lately and I don't know how to get an answer to it as I've lost touch with all those involved and not even sure they would remember it as it was so long ago. When I was about 10 years old, I was out with friends one evening after dark. We were at the end of...

Hi All, I know these films (and books) have been out for a long time but whilst looking through some books on Amazon I was intrigued to come across a book that has some art from the middle ages. One such picture attached portrays a young sorcerer receiving the mark of Satan on his forehead. I...

I have recently started to look for a new church to attend after 27 years of not attending church. There is one thing I am really struggling with. I became a Christian in 1985. I had several relationships with Christian girls. None of these worked out. One girl in particular we split up then a...

I am a backslidden Christian. However, recently over the last few months in particular I have started to read the Bible (Proverbs daily because this is my favourite book of the Bible). I have also fasted intermittently wanting some guidance from from the Lord. I stopped going to church around 27...
