It's really odd how despite the fact that I believe salvation comes through God alone through Jesus Christ regardless of our spiritual and mental state, I still feel as if my salvation hangs by the 'weights and balances' of what I do with my life. Am I being slothful sitting here on my PC while...

I felt like I had to hide my Bible behind the computer screen while playing a single session of Halo because it's as if the Holy Spirit was playing the game with me and it felt really weird and uncomfortable and I quit after a level. Is it my weird paranoia or the Holy Spirit telling me that...

I listened to so many anti-Christian and hateful songs in my agnostic phase that now Satan's using the songs to discourage me from every angle possible. I need prayer, please.

I'm expressly against healing ministries in the vein of those who 'touch to heal' and whatnot, as I find it rooted in pagan practices and not historic Christianity, in which healings were dramatic and obviously of God and were real and lasting.

In my opinion, I believe that the Church should oppose the LGBTQ+ in a religious sense while campaigning for their rights in a political one, so that it won't be illegal to be part of the LGBTQ+ and actually gain more opportunities for change; in fact, making being LGBTQ+ illegal again would...

Being a brand, brand, brand new Christian, (my previous interactions here I deem to be false and not in the spirit of me as a Christian now) I've been practicing severe caution as to not read books I find to have theological leanings in one direction or another, and the small Episcopal book of...

Ahem... I'm ashamed to admit that I (for the most part) de-Christianized for just about a year before reluctantly (Cracker Barrel hooked me in, actually) attending the Franklin Graham conference a couple days ago. I reluctantly re-committed myself to Christ that evening and while that night was...

I have read the entire books of Romans and 1 Corinthians in the HCSB and it's really easy for me to read while not sacrificing the deep meanings, e.g. the Living Bible. Does anyone else have a good experience with it?

It's making me nervous and I need prayers for a calm mind. Pray that the doctors potentially do something about it.

Well... We bought chicken feed at the store today, and after that, we went to McDonalds. Some guy that we haven't seen in 4 or 5 years came up to us and remembered us both, with my Mom not remembering him at all and I only vaguely remembering him. He looked like he was in his mid-60's or so...

"In the same way, there is also at the present time a remnant chosen by grace. Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace." (HCSB) My interpretation of this is that while Paul was talking about Israel in general, he changes the context here to mean those saved...

I tend to loathe aspects of everyone's theology/soteriology, and am going to posit my own. 1. God foreordained those in Himself, yet He is not the author of sin, because He decreed such things once the Fall went through, therefore dodging the 'is God the author of sin?' question. 2. I believe...

1. Is it okay that I don't feel an emotional closeness but an intellectual fascination with God? 2. How do I fight off temptation through Scripture? 3. How do I recover from an addiction that still tries to attack me even when I was regenerated? (I feel devastated when I get triggered by my...

"Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that––and shudder." How many of us believe in the one true God and yet do nothing to demonstrate to others that we indeed believe in God? Our works of...

I thought I was Arminian until I read this verse literally and was like... 'wha......' Ever have an experience with that verse like that?

"For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified, He also glorified." (Taken from the HCSB.) Well, I formally rejected...

1. What do you think verifies the Catholic Church as the true Church of Christ? 2. What is your ultimate source of belief in such? 3. What is your position on the authority of Scripture? :) Honest questions. I'm curious.

Continuationism: Charismatic, Pentecostal, etc. Cessationism: Most Baptists, Presbyterians, etc. I vote Cessationist.

The words that come out of your mouth Start to blend together into a string Of never-ending syllabic cacophony The whole room becomes full Of the ritualistic utterances That confuse the newcomers And mock God's Holy Scripture People fall over and lose control The spirits manifesting in the...

Really curious, that's all.
