    Is it sin to look for a job?

    So, I know this sounds really weird but this actually is something that I am struggling with. I am realizing that I have a problem with a hyper sensitive conscience. I know that it is a problem. But I do not have the ability to control it. I constantly feel condemnation and guilt at even the...

    If love does no wrong, how does love go to war with Russia?

    Roman 13:10 says: Love does not do evil to its neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law. The word for "evil" there in greek is translated "evil" most of the time in the New Testament and means evil in the most general sense. Strong's Greek: 2556. κακός (kakos) -- bad, evil So...

    This is the greatest tragedy in all of human history.

    Please correct me if I am wrong. But this is my current understanding of history: Somewhere around 1000 years ago (give or take) the western world en mass decided to seek the truth. Some nations became predominantly Catholic, some predominantly Protestant, others Orthodox, and others still...

    Why are Catholic countries resisting the LGBT agenda?

    If you look at a map of the current countries where gay marriage is legal you will see that those countries with predominantly Catholic populations (Italy, Poland etc.) seem to be more resistant to the new LGBT policies than other countries whose religious population is not as strongly Catholic...

    Are antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications safe for believers?

    This may seem like a dumb question to some. But I have heard a lot of really bad stories about people who go on these kinds of mind altering medications. My particular concern is that they may create "gateways" for demonic influence in the believers mind. Many of you I am sure have heard...

    Is God really merciful?

    I am just now beginning to realize that for the past few years I have become very much overly focused on the judging and punitive nature of God and how He always causes us to reap what we sow. Just as He punished David for his sin with Bathsheba or Moses for striking the rock and so on. But I...

    How do I find Jewish scholars in my area?

    Hello all, So this question is coming from someone with no Jewish connections at all. As a Christian the more I study the Old Testament the more I wish that I was in fellowship with people who have a deep understanding of the historical Judaism and tradition and culture and just everything...

    Do we have to keep all the New Testament commands?

    I was surprised to not find any articles on google addressing this question. There is plenty on the question of whether or not the Old Testament commands are binding but not the New Testament commands. More specifically my question is this: In light of the fact that there are something like...

    Looking for a job where I can pray while working.

    I am thankful that after having spent the last year and a half recovering from a number of health problems I finally feel strong enough to get back to work. I have been able to pray more in this past year and a half than I have in my entire life and it has been such a great blessing to me and...

    I have a dream I would like interpreted.

    It isn't so much one specific dream as it is a common theme that runs through almost every dream I have had for as long as I can remember as a Christian. I keep dreaming that I am in some kind of enclosed structure and I am trying to escape from by running for my life. Sometimes I am trying to...

    Looking for people to pray with.

    As I have been studying and learning more about prayer in the bible I have become convinced that it is better for us to pray together as Christians than alone. I have been meeting with people at my church to pray with and have been very encouraged by that to find more. I believe the scripture...

    Spirit Travel and Catholic Saints

    Hello all, I remember reading a story one time about about a catholic saint who was able to travel in the spirit. From what I remember he lived as a hermit and I think it was a queen or someone wanted to talk to him for some reason and he said that he would not visit her because he had not...

    Come talk to me praying people :)

    Trying to get to know other believers online. A little bit about myself: I have been following the Lord since I was 17, (Im 26 now). I believe I was saved while listening to a sermon by Paul Washer. The past 9 years or so have been pretty rough. With a lot of spiritual struggles...
