    Spiritual attacks, with one in particular. I'm urgently seeking prayer.

    Since around March 2016, I have been experiencing spiritual attacks. They have been centred on many areas of my life, including family, school, friends, work, and especially what I strongly believe is my calling from God. I strongly believe that God is calling me to serve Him in a country on a...

    Which countries have you been to?

    I was born and live in New Zealand, and I have been to Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan. I hope to visit all five continents in my lifetime. How about you all?

    Knock-offs / fakes

    I never claimed that it was part of my "quest", that was your assumption, and I honestly don't know why you're even wasting your time commenting on my posts it you think that my questions are not worthy of "theological responses" - of which I am not even seeking... I enjoy hearing other peoples'...

    Knock-offs / fakes

    Different post, you have no evidence to show that this issue is related. Either way, if you're such an expert, why are you unfamiliar with this?: When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Proverbs 11:2 Consider that in future interactions.

    Knock-offs / fakes

    I'm not trying to "rediscover" anything. I thought it was an interesting question. Get off your high horse.

    Knock-offs / fakes

    What is your view of them? Do Christians have any place buying or selling them? Including unbranded goods with Disney characters printed on, etc.

    Women and head coverings

    I was just reading 1 Corinthians and happened upon the verses about women wearing head coverings. That got me wondering why we don't do it. I don't know a single Christian woman who always has her head covered. It seems to be common for the Amish and cult members. It's not an Old Testament law...

    Visiting temples and shrines as tourism

    Also my Mum's friend worked for YWAM in Japan, lived there for about 20 years and married a Japanese Christian.

    Visiting temples and shrines as tourism

    Actually I'm studying Japanese at polytech and I am already fairly fluent, I have been studying it for a little over five years now. I believe that God put this on my heart so I could teach about Him in Japan. There are already a lot of churches in Japan, despite an only 1% Christianity rate. I...

    Visiting temples and shrines as tourism

    I I lived in Japan for about six months three years ago and I have heeeeaps of Hello Kitty stuff, do you seriously think I should get rid of it? My personal favourite character is Rilakkuma.

    Please pray for my mental wellbeing

    Lately I have been having clearly evil thoughts, telling me to do evil, and making me feel guilty whenever I do ANYTHING (if that makes sense), thereby I am really struggling with judging what is sinful or not and I'm feeling helpless, and all of this scares me. I also haven't been able to focus...

    Visiting temples and shrines as tourism

    I have been to Japan twice and am going back again in a month. Japan is well known for its beautiful temples and shrines, and I have visited quite a few of them, including the huge Buddha in Nara. My question is, what do others think about visiting places of non-Christian religious...

    Christian owning a restaurant with a bar

    Gluttony is a sin too, so should they also avoid selling food?

    BF-GF relationships sinful?

    Actually I am currently going through a personal journey of interpreting the Bible and what sin is, because I want to live a life pleasing to God. I definitely do not have it all figured out, and that's why I post here to gain different perspectives from other followers of Christ. I am currently...

    BF-GF relationships sinful?

    Actually I wasn't brought up in a strict home at all! I'm just going on a journey of personal discovery, and trying to learn about what pleases God in order to live a life pleasing to Him. I definitely do not think that I have it all sussed, if I did I probably wouldn't bother posting it here.

    Contraception sinful?

    I wrote the answer right in the post. It's to regulate my hormones to settle my acne down.

    BF-GF relationships sinful?

    I feel the need to clarify here. I am not against GOING ON DATES. It of course would be absurd to just propose marriage to a total stranger! What I am against is the "he's my boyfriend" or "she's my girlfriend" thing. I guess there is likely a difference in how I and others perceive what...
