I drank that horrendous, lethal poison for the second time in my life last night. It is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! First it felt kind of good, but memorizing that, it was more about losing self-control than being happy. I possibly lost my reputation by sending drunken messages to everyone, in the...

I wish I could talk to myself a few years ago and simply say "everything you need to do is love". I spent half a year figuring out what is important in life, what is necessary etc. I put words in a list and over the months, added new ones and removed useless meanings. In the end I realized all...

Especially when seeing large crowds of people, I feel nearly worthless compared to the world. If the world population was around 1000, I could manage it, but billions is way too much. Most of these persons don't even know me and wouldn't care or even know if I died. How can I gain self-esteem?

I know the basics, but would like to have a deeper understanding of atonement. I believe Jesus took our guilt and sins upon himself and died because of them (He was a sacrifice). But does this happen in the opposite direction? Do we also get His righteousness in return, or does the removal of...

These panic attacks are becoming more common. As a person who is very interested in physics, I'm reading quite often about complex and very deep scientific theories. Somehow that leads to me thinking about nothingness, or what if there was nothing instead of a God and an Universe. Then I start...

I feel guilty for not evangelizing enough my closest relatives. None of my grandparents have yet died after I was born. I really don't know how I can cope with the anxiety and guilt after one of them dies. It feels like I'm responsible for their salvation when it's really God's job.

Sometimes people relieve their anger by insulting me for no reason and it always makes me feel bad. It feels like I deserve it even if they're strangers and have just met me. How can I stop feeling bad because of this?

"Heaven" is described in the Revelation as a new Earth and new heavens with God present among us. It sounds amazing, but why don't you get bored after a few millenia and anxious about the infinite years still ahead of you?

(I don't know if this thread should be here or in the theology section.) Jesus spent time with people with leper and other diseases and it seems he accused others of rejecting them. But unlike Jesus, we can get infected with those diseases, so what should we do with the sick?

What if Adam killed Eve or did something else what is now sinful? They had no knowledge of good and evil so was there only one command: not to eat the fruit?

Is there anything I can do to speed up the process of transforming to be more like Christ? I know I can pray, read the Bible and obey God, but is there something else I can do?

How would you define the sins in the title? I think lust of the eyes is wanting something very much, but I'm not sure. Pride of life could mean that you're simply very haughty or proud about yourself. I don't know about lust of the flesh. 1 John 2:6 For all that is in the world—the desires of...

I have long wanted to get a septum piercing and stretch it a bit. The infection risk will be insignificant if I clean it properly. I plan to keep the ring in the piercing only at nights and when I'm home, so it doesn't hinder witnessing or cause others to stumble. What do you think?

Last year I doubted my salvation a lot. The doubts went away when I believed blindly that I'm saved instead of trying to prove it and reinforcing the OCD. After I knew I'm saved, I feared that I will start doubting God's existence. That's exactly what happened. It's the same OCD thing but with...

I need to understand what covenants are in order to understand salvation. I only know covenants are agreements between God and us. Here are some questions I think about: What is a covenant? How is Jesus' death a covenant? Why did Jesus have to die?

I want to learn, do and experience everything I can think about! It may sound good, but it isn't. Every useless idea seems absolutely fascinating on the surface, but when I think about it for some days, I completely lose my interest and move to another idea. I never actually complete any of my...

The first step is believing in Jesus and being saved. What should happen after that?

Why doesn't anyone preach the good news about Jesus in its COMPLETE and CORRECT form? I have heard and read too many half-gospels and clearly incorrect versions of it. Is God preventing me from getting to the saving knowledge? Is something restricting my access to the true gospel? And most...
