    How to answer a Muslim or an atheist's objection to the Cross

    This objection I've run into quite a few times by Muslims and atheists. The objection is: God is not just for allowing an innocent to be punished in our place. Although in Islam, there is a teaching of Christains and Jews taking on the sins of Muslims in hell. How would you guys tackle this...

    Lord's supper (?)

    Not sure if this is allowed or if this question is in the proper place. Forgive me if it's not and take it down. I have something that's been bothering me. Can anyone tell me why the Lutheran view on the Lord's supper wrong? I've been talking to a couple of Lutheran's and they say it is His...

    Intrusive thought question

    Can an intrusive thought make you feel like you agree with it? I suffer from these awful blaphamous thoughts. A couple came in out of nowhere. They hurt me because they feel angry and like I agree with them! I usually get these when I'm stressed and there feels like pressure building in my...

    Hell question

    Isn't it God who forms every human born? Wouldn't this mean He forms some for hell? Or is there some kind of Permissive Will doctrine that solves this? I used think He just passed them over but the thought above kind of made me think. And I read this Spurgeon sermon. He seems to imply the...

    For Calvinists: Struggling with Matthew 22:14

    Hello, I posted this question in the general theology section, but someone suggested I should post it here in order to get a better response: I know God didn't have to save any----I get that response but I think to that response "Why would He create just to send all of His creation to hell?"...

    For Calvinists: Struggling with Matthew 22:14

    I know God didn't have to save any. I'm still getting saddened over the fact that not many are going to be saved and are unable to respond because of their nature. John 3:16 used to comfort me but after reading Matthew 22:14, I'm kind of in the dumps. How do I get out of this?

    John 12:40 question

    Did the people in John 12:40 have a chance to believe or is this a judicial hardening? The wording almost seems like they had a chance to believe. IDK John 12:40, ESV: "“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn...

    Need help with doubts

    Guys, I never thought this would happen to me. I'm having terrible doubts that Jesus is the Messiah. How do you counter this argument: Scribes put all the prophesies together after the fact and wrote the NT to make Jesus match a Messianic figure from the OT? Like casting lots for Christ's...

    Responsibility of Salvation fear

    Can't seem to shake the Idea of losing my salvation if I agree with a blasphemous thought. I can't seem to shake the serious nature of the unpardonable sin verses out of my head. They don't have much detail to them and there's no person in scripture having forgiveness for this sin, without the...

    Nature of the Soul

    This is not a thread about eternal punishment. This is about the nature of the soul. I have a curiosity (just a theory), Besides having moral characteristics from God, does being made in the image of God also mean the soul can never ever be destructible? Makes sense why He doesn't want His...
