    Why does God allow suffering? Bear in mind, those that don't need a perfect distraction, suffer less

    the Bible says we're appointed to suffer. but instead of focusing on other people's suffering, i think it's better to focus on whether we are enduring our own suffering. for example, i think much of the suffering in the world is supposed to be solved by people, but since many people arent...

    A Believer's Thoughts on World Religions

    The existence of other beliefs is often one of the most difficult things for the Christian world to deal with. It can be hard to find a tangible difference between them and Christianity, and the problems within the Church don't help with Christianity's promotion. I understand why many are not...

    Why can't everyone in the world just be nice to each other?

    hello Solum Aeternum, i think the problem is the amount of pride that's infected everyone, including a lot of Christians. but i also think there's a solution and it starts with ourselves. i think people who are unkind are searching for something, but to reach them i believe it takes someone...

    A Believer's Thoughts on a Willing Mind

    We've probably all heard that we can "come to Christ just as we are", but this can sometimes be a hard thing to believe. I think it's the opinion of many that mainstream Christianity seems to celebrate feats of goodness of a particular size, and almost promote characteristics of a particular...

    A Believer's Thoughts on Faith (2, Second Half)

    For most who do these things, I don't believe that their actions are the result of pursuing a God conclusion that differs from Christianity because if they really believed in their stance, I think they would accept the presence of other faith conclusions; they would just use them as an...

    A Believer's Thoughts on Faith (2, First Half)

    A Believer's Thoughts on Thankfulness

    The Bible tells us of the importance of thankfulness, that we should always be thankful for what we have. But with the condition of things in the world, it can be hard to be thankful or to identify the pride that keeps us from being so. I think it's because of this that many people fall into a...

    A Believer's Thoughts on Being Fully Persuaded

    I see a lot of believers often checking their beliefs with others for confirmation. It's often difficult to avoid doing this & we probably all have done so. It's surely a sign that we are all trying to do what's right, like anyone else. But I believe the Bible teaches that the correct actions...

    A Believer's Thoughts on Christian Suffering

    The Bible mentions often about suffering for righteousness and that we all are thus appointed (Acts 14:22, Philippians 1:29). I believe the sufferings are any inconveniences we endure for what's right. I think many people go about attempting their feats of goodness by using methods that avoid...
