    Officer who killed Sonya Massey after she rebuked him in Jesus’ name is ‘emissary of Satan,’ dad says

    Christian history doesn't answer the question either. Why would an omnipotent God who has the power and the right to stop evil for those who obey Him doesn't do so? Which also had no relation to my question. God could make the sun rise over the evil while also preventing them from being evil...

    Officer who killed Sonya Massey after she rebuked him in Jesus’ name is ‘emissary of Satan,’ dad says

    Why didn't Jesus protect her? And what's the point of calling upon His name if He doesn't offer protection? Aren't believers supposed to be able to cast out demons and have authority over the forces of evil?

    Is it a sin to use products with sinful names?

    Thanks, but Kdenlive doesn't have the auto-background removal feature that DaVinci has. The only other software that has it (to my knowledge) is Capcut, but that one costs a lot of money for the premium version.

    Is it a sin to use products with sinful names?

    But Valentine and Patrick were Christian saints. We're supposed to honor the saints and celebrate their feast days.

    Is it a sin to use products with sinful names?

    My conscience is afflicted by religious OCD / scrupulosity. It has been that way ever since I started seeking God, several years ago. I've had OCD all my life, but it wasn't of the religious kind. It seems to have changed from secular OCD to religious OCD since I read the Bible.

    Is it a sin to use products with sinful names?

    I recently came across a video editing software that has a lot of features called DaVinci Resolve. It was created by a company called Blackmagic Design. Is it a sin to use products or to do business with companies that are named after things that Christianity labels sinful?

    Why are internet Atheists so hostile and mean towards Christians ?

    What does any of that have to do with God not answering prayers? And yes, I'm aware that even "no" can be an answer, but I want to hear it. I want a clear "no" answer from God when He doesn't want to grant a prayer request. Silence is not a "no". Silence is simply ignoring the person. A father...

    Why are internet Atheists so hostile and mean towards Christians ?

    It's not one single reason for all, as atheists are not a monolith. It's generally because they perceive religion to be harmful to society, but the reasons for why that is are quite varied. Some (like me) are annoyed because they've dedicated a large part of their time to seeking God only to be...

    So what exactly do I have to do?

    rabbi Manis Friedman and Eastern Orthodox theology

    I'm sorry, but I don't see how that analogy is supposed to help. 1. God is the one Who created the process of refining silver. He created the properties of fire, of silver, of the chemical reactions involved etc. 2. If God is omnipotent, He could have made it for silver to be refined in any...

    rabbi Manis Friedman and Eastern Orthodox theology

    I experience the same lack of understanding and it is giving me a lot of anxiety. Would you have any advice on how I can love God? Loving a Being Who I cannot perceive and Who allows for me to suffer all the time without giving me any satisfying explanation about the reasons of my suffering...

    A Jewish Rabbi's perspective about God needing us

    I'm sure you could start a new topic on that. I would like to discuss what he said in the video I posted in this thread.

    A Jewish Rabbi's perspective about God needing us

    I invite you to watch the first 10 minutes of this video and share your thoughts on the matter. Rabbi Manis Friedman makes some excellent points, in my opinion. If we remove the idea that God needs us, then nothing makes sense. Why are we here to undergo this test? Why should we be punished for...

    "I am the worst person in the world and everything is my fault"

    Extract from the writings of Elder Ephraim of Arizona: "Therefore, be humble, my child. If you want the demons who oppress you to be humbled, throw yourself beneath all and say: «I'm the worst person in the world and everything is my fault»." Do you think that going through life with this...
