Hello. I have many Christian friends, colleagues, neighbours etc. Nice people, I love them. However, one side of them I notice which is I think isn’t that great is that Christianity makes them feel superior. We hold the truth, we are chosen, we are the saved ones, we are the children of the...

Hello. I grew up an atheist, and in my language we don’t have “he/she” pronouns, everything is “it”. Even though I’ve been studying Christianity for many years, until today it’s very odd to me that there is God the Father, but there is no God the Mother. There is God the Son, even God the Ghost...

Hello. What strikes me when communicating with Christians is their dogmatism. Isn’t it very bad? Kind of, oh you’re so wrong, you’re blasphemous. As if they own the truth. Even though they all have each their own ideas about what truth is. Isn’t it peculiar? isn’t it bad to be fixated on some...

Hello. I read read the gospels over and over. I can recite chapters from memory easily. Of course, I also read in koine. What really is strange to me is Greek appropriation of a Jewish man and a Jewish faith. So you think it was really called for and it’s good? Yeshua ha-Nozri or Jesus the...

Hello. :) I spend a lot of time among Christians and I notice that they abide in some wrong ideas and it’s hurting them and makes their faith so much less appealing especially to the younger generation who are taught to think independently and free. What I mean is, they have ideas about God...

Hello. :) Can you please share what is sin and what kinds of sins do you see? It’s such a controversial subject in any religion. What’s sin in one religion, is righteousness in another. Or even different denominations within one religion can have a very different outlook at sin. Of course...

Hello. Growing up in atheism, then as a student encountering the Christian faith. My introduction and guide until today to spirituality. Even though I think not all information in the Bible is good and it can be confusing and it’s missing important information, I find so much truth and beauty in...

Hello. So for many millennia people all over the world have strived for Happiness - absence of any kind of suffering. I can relate, as who likes to suffer? My questions is philosophical I guess: haven’t we made a fatal mistake as a species to seek Happiness as the highest goal? Even in faith, a...

Hello. I’ve been to many many churches and met many Christians. Why is it that 99% of Christianity or more is the opposite of Jesus’ teaching?

Hello. How are you all doing? May God bless you abundantly in all things, especially with spiritual gifts. Christianity is a beautiful religion. The architecture, the art, the philosophy, the music, the traditions, the literature etc are so beautiful, it’s amazing. All belief systems are...

Hello. I listen to so many Christian sermons. Similar ideas in many of them. So after a while it’s like listening to the same broken record if you know what I mean. I love some preacher personalities, women and men. There are truly remarkable people among them, so gifted speakers! I love it...

Hello. The other day I was listening to a great sermon, so powerful and insightful. At one point the preacher said, “let’s lift our holy hands up to heaven”… Is it really up? Isn’t it a mistake to look up? Our round rock of a planet is constantly spinning and flying around the Sun and the Sun...

Hello. Jesus is the Christ or the anointed one. Appointed to be a king. So, basically, somebody made a king by somebody else. This denotes a demoted position to God. If Jesus is the supreme God Himself, why does He need to be appointed to be a king? God is the highest position by default...

Hello. I attended different kinds of churches. I listened to hundreds and hundreds of Christian sermons. Read the Bible and Christian books. They say Jesus talked about hell more than about heaven. When some sick people were healed, the gospels tell us some of them were inflicted by demons who...

Hello. I often think of this. I see my Christian friends those who are serious in faith, seem to be mostly interested in the history and culture of the Biblical lands, peoples and period. Anything beyond this is not of much interest to them. I understand this, but is it a right thing to do? I...

Hello. I was thinking of the following. There’s about 783,137 words in the King James Bible. We know some texts are repeated in the Bible or retold in slightly different ways, so if we condense the Bible to its unique contents, it will be, say, 80% or approximately 600,000 words. Then we know...

Hello. I think without any doubt, today health is the number one concern of people. Or one of the biggest concerns. We hear health advice of all kind on the Internet, on TV and radio, in books and magazines, from doctors and nutritioners. Today I read an article at cbc.ca about alcohol being...

Hello. Yesterday I learned about Jesus Christ’s commandments. This is an example of such list: What are the commands of Christ? Though the person that told me about them said there are over a hundred of them. Did you know about them like that as a single list? Did you ever think of...

Hello. When I moved to Canada, the biggest difference I noticed is that people here prefer individualism to collectivism, being independent to being co-dependent. This is very different from where I grew up. There it was all about family and community ties. Family means your immediate and all...

Hello. Jesus said, “According to your faith be it done unto you.” Matthew 9:29 Did you know if you look up the word 'belief' in the thesaurus, its antonym is truth? I was shocked to find this out. If truth is the opposite of belief, then wouldn't that imply that beliefs are untrue? But in my...
