I want to love my wife as Christ loves the Church, I want to have patience with her, I want to reject anger and have compassion and mercy on her and bear fruit. She claims to be a Christian but is the most spiteful, impatient, easily angered, and gossipy person I know. She intentionally...

Matthew 6:8-10 and Luke 12:27-40 make me wonder if it is truly Biblical to pray for the things of this world. I heard a great theologian once say, “did you ever read of Jesus praying for a job, a car, a house, or any material item?” I don’t recall who it was but they had a point. Do you...

Not sure if this is the right thread but seems most close to it. A long time ago Answers in Genesis posted a response to a skeptic (Benny Shannon) saying that Moses did not hear the voice of God but rather imbibed a “magical” potion from the bark of the Acacia wood which has hallucinogenic...

This is throwing me off. Some translations say “it please the Lord to crush him” “it was the will of Lord to bruise him; to strike him with infirmities” “yet it was the will Of Adonai to bruise him; to bring him to grief” etc or etc. I see 50/50 split of translation of this passage, the first...

Which is it? I see many today, as there always has been, receiving visions, prophecies, dreams, and words from God. While I do believe there is or will be a place for visions in the time directly leading up to Christ’s return, I don’t see that yet. My question is this: if God has spoken to us...

Often times me and my wife will view media on the TV or on our Spotify that I know we shouldn’t be listening or watching. Sometimes I’ll be the rebellious son that I am and try to justify us listening to it or watching it but the Holy Spirit always in that moment convicts me of it. Whenever I...

Title says it all. Also, just to start off, I am a believer but I always have questions like these pop up in my head when I read the OT. I was reading the Psalms tonight and the Sons of Korah and David both talk about their delight in the Lord for his forgiveness of sins and how He makes those...

First I should state that I’m not sure if this is the right thread but seemed most fitting. I’ve been a Christian for about three or four years but I am struggling big time on my faith due to a somewhat lack of grievance of my sin. I know feeling ≠ truth but it still impacts my relationship...

I posted a while back about a lack of fulfillment and being miserable in life due to a lot of different circumstances. Is it sinful to prepare to be disappointed? A little background first. My whole life I've wanted to serve in the military but in ROTC where I met my wife, the Lord closed...

Long story short, my wife is not the woman I thought I married... We have been married for less than a year but its been an absolute disaster, emotionally, financially, and spiritually. Please pray for a change of heart in her and a healing to her mind and frankly... That the Lord would save...

I have heard a lot of testimonies of people in their beds awake but unable to move when they feel, see, or hear a dark presence in their room. I'm not sure if people are aware of what sleep paralysis is but whenever I hear this testimony, this is the first thing my mind jumps to. I want to...

I’m not sure if this is the right thread but I thought it was the closest related one. The title basically says it all. I look back on my life and see all that God has done for me and am very grateful for all He has done but at the same time, I am miserable with my life. Nothing turned out...

After reading Ephesians this morning I call across 5:5. I basically have 3 questions about it: 1) Does this verse speak of Christians who live like this constantly without conviction? 2) Does this say that Christians who live like this, even with conviction, are not truly saved. 3) for those...

I hear so many skeptics use the argument that the visions of God and prophecies or miracles were the product of hallucinogens. I would lie if I said I haven’t had that thought a few time in my faith but to rebut this I want to know what the use of drugs were like in ancient Israel. I know we...

I am having the probably one of the biggest faith shakers of the my walk with the Lord yet with this verse. I've read so many articles about the different views of this discourse but I am not convince by any of them. To Preterists, Jesus return was in 70 A.D. and that the Abomination of...

I (male) wanted to be in the military my whole life but because a medical condition it looks like I won’t be able to join. Rather my fiancée (female) is the one who is now in the military and is extremely successful. I feel a three front battle. One, a horrible feeling of envy towards her, a...

There seems to be so much debate and fear of the Revelation of Jesus Christ but if you go and read the prophets, you can clearly see the themes of the prophets in John’s vision. It’s a perfect book showing the beautiful start to Gods creation and wrapping up the Bible showing the things that...

While Matthew uses this verse to point to Jesus Messianic birth, if read in context, it sounds as if it is speaking of a literal ruler that will delivers them from the Assyrians. I’m confused on this, I know many Jews believe that the Messiah will be a physics ruler to deliver the Jewish...

I am aware that there are many texts about a creation narrative from long before the OT was written (mainly written by Sumerians) about the creation, the flood, etc. My question is, were these a perversion of the true creation narrative of God and God revealed the true creation narrative and...
