    According to the Bible, is it difficult to get into heaven?

    Hi everyone, Thank you for all of your input and support :). I just wanted to update to let you know that a few nights ago, I realized reading the Bible and waiting for some kind of sign from God was not the best way to go about things. I believe God wanted us to trust in him without needing...

Why couldn't he...

    I never thought I'd be posting something like this, but...

    I'll try to keep it reasonably brief, since I know people don't like reading a wall of text. I was raised protestant Christian, and invited Jesus into my heart during Bible camp at age 9. I was part of a Christian group in my high school at age 14. Around age 16, I started to doubt. There was no...
