I discovered her diary towards the end of last year and started reading 5 pages daily on Jan1 which puts me on pace to finish the diary by the end of the year. Having just discovered the diary I was kinda fired up to attend church the Sunday after Easter (hadn't been attending much lately as my...

I'm guessing this has probably been asked at some point in time and there may be a good answer. I just don't know what it is and Google didn't help. There's certainly differences in accounts between the Gospels (did Jesus carry the cross or did they assign that chore to some guy who happened to...

I really don’t know the answer even though I call myself a Christian. I get the feeling that all of these NDE reports I’ve recently discovered won’t be well received here, falling somewhere under the false prophet category. And I’ll admit that, under my current little crisis of faith, I’m...

They buried my Godfather today. He was like family. I did not walk up to the casket to pay my respects. I went through the procession line, but I bypassed the casket. I sat two pews back and there he was right in front of me, but during the greeting and condolences of family members, I did not...

Ok, this one is probably going to get me in trouble on a couple of levels: After further review, I decided my original post was borderline acceptable here so I redacted. Sorry, I'll do better next time.

At funerals they say “She’s in a better place now”. But what I find in the Bible is that Jesus is coming back to judge the living and the Dead. And as far as I know, we’re all still waiting, so judgment day has yet to occur. So where’s Grandma? (Please no responses regarding Grandma’s...

God has a plan for you. I hear this as a Christian all the time. Is this supported in the Bible? Do you believe this is so? And if it is so, why would anyone end up in Hell? Doesn’t seem that would be God’s plan for anyone. (But then I guess at least some people would have to go there, otherwise...

Hello, I’m a lifelong Christian (nearly 60 years) and find myself suddenly suffering depression and a lack of faith in God due to some aspects of my life that didn’t go so well. They say suffering brings you closer to God, but for me, it’s made me take a closer look at God- which to me means...
