Hey @John Hyperspace Thanks for your reply. I know all the doctrines and teachings and the answers to give to people who ask questions about pain and suffering, but sometimes those answers just don't cut it for those who are atheists. For example I had a close family friend loose their 4...

So I'm not sure if I'm being tested by God lately but I keep coming under fire from close family and friends who are non Christians (mostly atheist). I keep getting grilled on my beliefs and my opinions on subjects. Whenever my faith comes up I start to get asked about: * Pain & suffering *...

Wow this is truly beautiful.

I don't think this is true (personal opinion) My logic and heart tells me if that were true then the Jehovah Witnesses would be right as would Mormon's. I think doctrine is important to an extent, you have to have the fundamentals right. You can't say you believe we can all become God's and...

I think you and other posters are correct. As much as it saddens me when I attend mega church's I can't help but feel uneasy and feel like "is this really all to please God or is it more about ourselves" the fact that at least here in the UK traditional church numbers are falling while...

I'm not into ROCK myself in the sense of heavy ROCK by what some people call ROCK is subjective. Some people consider Hillsong or Switchfoot to be ROCK where I do not. In what sense do you mean Rock? As in the bands I made reference to?

I always feel when I'm singing or in church that I'm "false" or "pretending" you know. I look around me and see other Christians worshiping and I think "If only these people knew what I was really like, they'd be so ashamed of me" It's like I don't feel worthy to worship. I have to keep...

So here's the thing. I love contemporary worship, modern Christan music from the likes of Chris Tomlin, Miachel W Smith, Hillsong and other such artists really draws me close to God. The issue is I see a lot of these bands as very self centered and self pleasing and worship to God should be...

Hi guys, So I recently posted asking for your advice on a website I wanted to create. So I've finally got my Church Directory for the UK live. The aim/goal/mission of this website will be to promote the site to people who are interested in Christianity. So we'll hit the streets with Christian...

So it has been my understanding that it is through faith alone that we are rewarded with Heaven and eternal life. Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches us that it is through faith we are saved and by the Grace of God not through works or what we have and haven't done. Yet here in Matthew 16:27 it's saying...

Hi guys, I am a digital marketer and website designer from the UK. I've recently came up with two ideas for websites I want to make/design and wanted to conduct some market research and see what the general consensus/need is for websites like these. These are not for profit websites and I...

We just bought a new coffee machine (we already own a kettle) today. Yea we have some difficulty sticking to living a modest lifestyle, it's a shame really and I hope one day I can learn to live with less. I feel really guilty now because I am very lucky with all the things I have and all the...

Sorry I should have worded that better. I don't AGREE with it. I think I made clear from the rest of my post though, that I would never judge and just as Jesus did my love and compassion is not withdrawn from homosexual couples, just if I were ever asked outright about my opinion then I could...

I'm afraid not. I'm from Whitworth/Lancashire in the UK. Thank you for the recommended viewing/reading. I assure you I will make my way through them starting tonight. God Bless and thanks again!

Do I believe in same sex marriage? NO I do however believe in same sex civil partnership. What angers me is Christian churches conducting same sex marriages, this happened in a Church local to me. In honesty I don't know why anyone would want to marry in a Christian church with a Christian...

Not sure where I'm going with this post. It's more of a rant, to get it off my chest and my thoughts out in the open, but please feel free to discuss or add your own two cents in. It's really frustrating in this day and age to talk to people about Christianity. It's like a lot of my...

Hey Lily. I've been in your shoes, I've literally been Christian, Pagan, Wiccan, Muslim and probably all sorts in between before now. I have had a HUGE issue forgiving myself for denying God and Jesus. Remember seeking and searching is OK. We have freewill for a reason, while I HATE that I've...

Does anyone have any good recommendations for any good Christian YouTubers. Looking to make my YouTube binges a little more wholesome, would rather my time spent on YouTube is viewing things that will help me grow as a Christian, rather than the general junk/trash I tend to come across.

Luke 22:42 Even Jesus was scared of what was to come. Some can argue he wasn't afraid of death but more the torture and pain to come. I would argue that the vast majority of us are not afraid of dying itself but the pain of death. That's why my answer comes in two parts. Firstly if you're...

Thank you for your response and to everyone else who has responded above. I continue to pray and ask God for guidance with this topic and to lead me into understanding. I just find it really difficult to drop the subject and leave it to faith alone. I accept that some day I may have to as I...
