Interesting answers. Thanks!

I really don't get fasting. I know it was practiced in the Bible as well as in the modern day. I've heard that in biblical days that they worshipped rather than cooking and getting together for meals, but what really was the point? Why would refraining from eating be to any advantage to God or...

Can I tell you I had a similar experience? I used to have severe OCD symptoms. For a good amount of time I had blasphemous thoughts and whatnot flinging through my head. I was tormented and thought I was so totally was going to Hell. I must've cried every day for two weeks. Anyway, it was...

I was kinda wondering how you/a day age theorist would interpret the evening and morning phrasing, how you/he would interpret the nature of death, and what the typical beliefs of a day age theorist in terms of the Flood and the texts. I'm really just looking for information before being...

Sure thing! :)

I'm currently ambiguous on how the interpretation of Gen. 1 ought to be interpreted. My church leans more towards young earth creationism, but I am having trouble believing certain aspects of it as I also do with Old Earth Creationism. I'm looking for theological answers not so much scientific...

I'd just hope that if I select a church whether big or small, it would be done...

I'm not necessarily saying go to some "hippie church", which is why I used the phrase "meet up" rather than using the word "Church". I agree. The Church isn't a mere building. All I was saying is that it seems obvious that we ought to meet with fellow believers in some way if it's at all...

Well, the Bible does say not to neglect meeting together, and that in the early Church, they had everything in common. I wouldn't say that if you don't go to church you're not saved (Salvation isn't based off of how often you go to Church), but the Bible is pretty clear we need to meet up for...

Heh. I couldn't delete my comment, so heh.

I had severe OCD for five years. Let me tell you I suffered so much anxiety over losing my salvation. I still have high anxiety, but more along the lines of social anxiety. In Matthew 21:28-31, Jesus tells a parable to the religious leaders (I think) and says it is better that a man to have...
