I would like to thank you all for your kind replies and your guidance. that... would be a bit of an issue. i was raised in a family that was more on the 'cultural christian' side, the kind that goes to church maybe two to three times a year and has only read bits of the Scripture. I am not...

no wall, american interventionism in the Middle East is still a thing despite Trump promising to stop it. the issue is not Trump. the issue is that the American president is merely a puppet to deeper, darker interests. Trump is the first president since Kennedy who is not fully a puppet. But...

i agree. but what if a republican president ordered the de facto abolishing of the second amendament? remember that red flag laws and the like did not happen under obama. they happened under trump

what will you do if they take your guns? if the feds/swats slam on your door? remember why the founding fathers put that law into the first place. either way, if you brag about your guns in social media, or post pics of them, stop doing it. with the red flag laws around, all it takes is for...

not american, but weren't "Assault" rifles just outlawed in virginia? what is trump doing? nothing.

" 4 For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, 6 and [then] fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify...

ah, i think you misunderstand. i wouldn't mind getting beaten because of my beliefs. i've already gotten into arguments with people close to me for what i believe in. lost friendships, even. a relatively painless death is something that i could take as well. but i'm afraid of torture and...

if that is true, i commend your strength. most people would not accept it. or maybe i am projecting myself onto most people. i guess i'm just weak.

would you willingly follow Jesus' example of letting yourself be lead to a painful execution knowing full well you have multiple chances to escape? Jesus bore the suffering of the world upon His shoulders, and we, as Christians, need to follow His example to the best of our ability. i'm a...

you also have to realise that throughout most european christian history, most christians could not read, and nor did they own a bible. the reason for that is simple: most people back then could neither read, nor afford to buy a book. books were expensive. what they knew about scripture, they...

i think so too, and i see this from a more temporal and political perspective. the west has been going through this secularist and progressivist phase for the last 2 centuries or so. in a way, the west has become too cynical, too "smart" for christianity. the fact that the culture of the west is...

can i dm you some practical advice? i feel it would be too explicit to be posted in public. it's a problem i used to struggle with as well.

thank you both for your answers. i wish something had been said about this in the footnotes, but either way i am glad the members of this forum are so helpful.

except, before the calculating of the earth as a sphere-like object, the pagan greeks believed in a flat earth model as well, as did all other pagan societies around the world.

yes, but that does not mean we should be arrogant and abuse the earth and animals as we have. a tree is a living being as well, and i do not care much whether it "can enjoy the sunset" or not. by that metric, there are plenty of people who we should get rid of because they lack the emotional...

Well, the thing is that Earth-as-a-nigh-spherical-object is not a new model invented by NASA. After the Greeks calculated the Earth to be round, every educated man who had direct or indirect contact with Greco-Roman civilisation held that the Earth was round. Even the church agreed, but everyone...

Bible Gateway passage: Exodus 32:9-14 - New International Version Bible Gateway passage: Exodus 32:26-29 - New International Version How am I to understand/interpret these parts? In the first one it seems as if the Lord has made up his mind on something, yet Moses manages to change his mind as...

ye, that's late millennials and generation Z for you.

i will

THEORETICALLY, i know that. however, i have a hard time putting it into practice. if you don't mind me getting a bit into my life story; it all boils down to the interest i had since i was a kid in the paranormal side of things. ghosts, demons, aliens (ancient and modern) and everything...
