    So many questions! But good ones I hope!

    Thank you all for your responses! I have just been told to wear whatever is comfortable but wasn't sure if a baptism dress was more formal or appropriate but I greatly appreciate all of your answers! Also, thank you for your explanations on Christmas! Even though my family were not Christian in...

    So many questions! But good ones I hope!

    Hi! So i haven't posted here in a while! And I'm not sure when I stop being a new Christian but I still feel fairly new as I am still asking questions.... So, following on from previous posts... I am getting baptised through full immersion before Christmas! I am very happy with this and just...

    What is the right way of defending God to non-believers?

    I believe Jesus would and I would in terms of food. Perhaps not with money if addiction was present in order to prevent enabling... but I wouldn't like to think of anyone in poverty. I live in an area with a lot of food banks and only some seasonal work so many are not able to work but there are...

    What is the right way of defending God to non-believers?

    Could I please ask for someone's input on this as I have a little confusion... So, in Thessalonians 3:9-10, it states that: “If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.” But, where does this fit into helping those in need? I understand if those that genuinely aren't able to find...

    Full immersion or font baptism for an adult?

    Many thanks to you all! I am in the UK so they refer to baptism for both immersion and sprinkling at the font. I wasn't sure which was the most appropriate option for an adult but it sounds as though full immersion may be the best :)

    Full immersion or font baptism for an adult?

    Hi all! So, I just wanted to share that since recently finding my faith over the last few months, I attended my first church service last Sunday and felt so accepted and welcomed! I didn't grow up in a religious household although if asked, my mother would say she was Christian as she did...

    What is the right way of defending God to non-believers?

    As an update - I am halfway through Mere Christianity and WOW. It has not only given me so many things to think about along the way but also provided me with many ways to justify to outsiders. I have the other readings and videos on my list to follow! Many thanks again!

    What pets do you have and what are their names?

    I have a cat named Wednesday and a little lop eared bunny called Peanut! When Peanut was ill recently, this was the first time I prayed and God answered and I have never turned back and prayed everyday since :D

    What is the right way of defending God to non-believers?

    God bless you all for all of your help! I have read Proverbs and try to deliver my thoughts with grace but at times I still find this a little challenging. I will certainly read your recommendations - many thanks!

    What is the right way of defending God to non-believers?

    Firstly, thank you all for your contributions and I have taken these all on board. In that moment I was frustrated and unsure how to justify myself and God but I believe many of you are correct in suggesting that you don't necessarily need to. My educational background... I am currently...

    What is the right way of defending God to non-believers?

    Hi! I have been asking many questions here recently as I am a New Christian so I hope you do not mind! So, to explain a little for those who may not have read my prior posts - none of my family are Christian and neither is my husband. Although, since I have started praying and including him...

    Forgiveness and generosity difficulties

    God bless you, AWorkinProgress. Your post really touched me and a lot of truth was felt. I have in the past I think, tried to 'be God' but as I have found my faith fairly recently, I have been praying for my dad to find God and avoid temptation. I hope that he will find his way guided by the...

    Praying for animals and not having children

    No disrespect taken from anybody :) Thank you all for your thoughts! I would just like to clarify - I am not replacing children with animals. They are two separate entities really but have made quite a few posts in the last few days so thought it better to group them! I totally take on board...

    Praying for animals and not having children

    Hi all! I apologise for posting multiple times in the last couple of days but as I lack any Christian friends, I'm hoping you're the best people to ask! :) Firstly, I would like to ask... is it okay to pray for animals? I have two wonderful pets who I love very much and care a lot about...

    Forgiveness and generosity difficulties

    God bless you all and thank you so much for your responses. I pray for him every night now and hope he finds his own way of leading a better life. I'm glad I don't sound selfish as I am very much the opposite but it makes me angry quite often. I think supporting him by not funding his habits...

    Forgiveness and generosity difficulties

    Hi all! So this is the first of many questions I may probably post as I have recently found my faith! The issues I am having relate mostly to my father and I was reading a post below regarding toxic family which made a lot of sense. My dad has never been abusive in the sense of physically or...

    Hello from someone who found their faith in the UK!

    Thank you all! Weirdly, after I had posted this yesterday, my husband mentioned an interest in reading the Bible... I'm taking this as a sign from God!
