I have a blog here entitled Christian Anarchism and my last blog entry there concerns my depression. It also explains why I do not expect a discussion about my depression in my blog. So I am here. I have recently been professionally diagnosed with moderate depression (not mild nor severe) and...

I am a little concerned that that the Seventh Day Adventist Church does not seem to acknowledge the existence of the Nicene Creed and its place in the history of Christianity. My wife and myself are not members of any Adventist Church, but many of my wife's family are. Recently three of them in...

I have been advised to bring this thread from the politics forum and into this one. I guess the other one can be deleted. I have posted elsewhere in CF, and I have a blog here. I am not Roman Catholic but I have been advised that I will be welcomed here with my enquiries. Recently inspired by...

I have posted elsewhere in CF, and I have a blog here. I am not Roman Catholic but I have been advised that I will be welcomed here with my enquiries. Recently inspired by learning about the life of Carlo Acutis (and disappointed with myself for not knowing about him before) l want to listen to...

As a person, very interested in the tenets of Christian Anarchism, I was extremely moved by learning about Carlo Acutis, and annoyed with myself for not knowing about him earlier. However it has brought me closer to think about some of the tenets of Roman Catholicism and I feel I need to listen...

It is obviously not correct for me to want a discussion on faith and works in this forum, but I have my views on that, which is causing me some concern. A good Christian friend recently posted to me via WhatsApp a long devotion which I enjoyed reading, but there was no mention of good works in...

Many people say they listen for God and sometimes they hear Him speak. I am 77 years old, and in my early 30's I had a personal experience which dissolved my agnosticism and brought me to know God exists but I did not hear Him speak. At 50 years old I married a Christian lady,, was baptised into...

There has been no response to this post in another forum so I am trying here. God bless you all.

We can be violent towards others in ways not physical, but to begin I am asking respondents only to consider physical violence. This can range from mild fisticuffs to serious harm or killing, and can involve individuals, groups and all-out war. Are there any circumstances where a Christian is...

Please do not be put off by the title of this thread. Because of the pejorative use of the word anarchy, by politicians, the mainstream media and the general public I am tending to avoid stating my interest in it (more or less my adult life) when in fellowship with other Christians. Kingdom...

I have started a number of threads since I joined CF but at the moment they are not prompting responses. There must be reasons for this. Many posters have kindly said they will pray for me, and I am sure they are continuing to do so, but I cannot expect them to keep posting on my threads. Others...

In response to anyone who asks us about why we claim to be Christians I respond by saying my priorities are concerning salvation in this life. I think there are two issues about salvation. I have read the Gospel of St John many times, but all I gain is that as Christians we should only be...

My highest academic qualification is Master of Education, General Degree. I prepared an application for a PhD entitled "Computers in Schools" and was accepted at two universities, but I retired first! My post is intended to address a certain recent development in my thinking concerning...

My interest is in the interface between science and religion. For me there is no differentiation, science is one of God's gifts and we need to use it wisely. I wanted to join in on a thread on this subject, but there are so many that I am starting my own. To begin, there is no way in the reality...

My wife and myself are not members of, nor do we attend, any established or denominational Church, We try to hold onto Tolstoy's premise "The Kingdom of God is Within You". However many of my wife's family are Seventh Day Adventists and we receive a copy from them of their Quarterlies. Presently...

When our petitionary prayers are not answered, which often they are not, does that indicate that our faith in God is not strong? The prayer of Jesus "Take this cup from me" in Gethsemene was not answered.

God bless the SDA, all denominations, and all Christians and non-Christians. My wife and myself do not attend any Church, we try to belong to the universal church of Christ, as thoroughly, and dare I say profoundly, described in the SDA Quarterly "Oneness In Christ". We are elderly, infirm and...

I looked forward to my retirement from school teaching after a wonderful God-given life (somewhat sinful - not criminal, just over-indulgence in worldly pleasures), and married my marvellously spiritual Christian wife when I was 50 years old. We are now approaching our 80's but our retirement...

I have found a thread with a title very similar to mine, I have read it completely, but still feel I want to start my own.By opening in this forum I am avoiding inappropriate discussion in the Deeper Fellowship forum where this subject came up. The existing thread is: God does not punish anyone...

My apologies if this has been discussed already in any forum at CF, but in discussion with my wife today, Christmas Eve, she has come up with an interesting theological position, not particularly concerning a solution to the problem of evil, but more concerned about its source. She is not...
