Throughout my entire 35 years of living, people in and out of my life have claimed to witness or experience undeniable, visible, and/or tangible events that are never so obvious or observable to the general public. It's for this very reason that the skeptical side of me admittedly throws the...

Exactly what I hope to see, too!

What do you hope you get to do in heaven that scripture does not explicitly state or imply you get to do? Please don't answer with anything obviously sinful or contradictory to what is in scripture. These are your personal wants and hopes. Since there is only so much we know about heaven...

Indeed I do have a book series. I used to do the YouTube thing but nothing story related. You're actually not the first to suggest it. I have limited means of posting videos at the moment. I've thought of going the self-publishing route with some of my lesser works, which I may still do, but...

Surely I'm not the first and certainly won't be the last to request this, but if anybody has a legitimate way to help me get my foot in the door, I would be most grateful. Specifically, I'm seeking representation for mainstream sci-fi/fantasy and mystery/thriller novels in the USA or Canada...

You say it isn't wrong but then in the next sentence you say it's idol worship. Isn't that a contradiction?

Outside of being in a coma (which I'm sure some people would consider sinful for some reason), can a full-grown adult be spiritually disciplined enough to go one or more consecutive days without sinning inwardly and outwardly?

Back when I was little I remember having a dream where I "saw" God (and he doesn't look like what tradition has him look like, either). It's clear that no one has seen God at any time, no one can see God's face and live, etc., but even after all these years, whenever I think about or pray to...

The pastor and his family are former missionaries so I'd think that baptism was done out in the boonies or wherever if they did them. There are plenty of bodies of water in Alaska up here but they've never mentioned anything regarding them.

While I am a Baptist, the church I attend isn't Baptist per se. It might've been once, but it's more non-denominational than anything. I do believe they are a God-fearing church and are scripturally sound amid a few minor disagreements I have with them. However, there is one major issue that...

I believe that the spiritual gifts in the bible (modern prophecy, healing, speaking in tongues, etc.) have ceased after a time, hence I'm a cessationist. I think any who proclaim to do that stuff now are under demonic influence and/or possession. So there you go: my most controversial...

A lot of it has to do with personality outside of physical beauty. Conservative women tend to be well-mannered, clean in conversation, and respectfully dressed so that they by default are infinitely more attractive than their trashy, foul-mouthed, scantily-clad liberal counterparts.

Having been guilty of this sin myself in the past (though not in the addictive sense; praise the Lord), I can tell you that it can be a struggle because it presents a fantasy (or fantasies) that you crave to see as reality. This can especially be true if you're chronically single (like me) or...

I never had a religious upbringing, but I've always found myself drawn to Baptist churches. To this day I'll always prefer them over any other denomination (or lack thereof).

If I didn't want the answer, I wouldn't have asked. Regardless, I don't want this conversation to go hostile. I only want people to elaborate on their responses or add meaningful dialogue to discussion. Thank you anyways for your input.

Good for you. I want them to tell me. Thanks for adding little to nothing to the post.

During those times at church when we are told to close our eyes, bow our heads, etc. during prayer time, I find it easier to keep my eyes open. Don't get me wrong; I still pray. I find it more comfortable to look down at the floor or up at the ceiling or stare off into space during prayer...

Simply put, my heart's just not into singing or listening to Christian music (or most kinds of music for that matter, especially ones with words). I do think that not having grown up in the church has made it harder for me to get into it, especially when it sounds, forgive me for saying this...

Perhaps "Conservative with libertarian leanings" would be less confusing?

Thank you! Believe it or not, though I'm KJV-only, I don't go to a KJV-only church (they use the ESV, mostly), and as far as I remember, I don't think I was saved with a KJV (some other translation, most likely). IMO, KJV-onlyism isn't a hill to die on, but based on many factors I remain...
