thnx every1 for your prayers, support, and non-judegementality. thankyou for your concern ,crossrunner. i have been offline recently because it's my end of year exams now. i've prayed tho. asking for God to take root in me and nurture the feelings that reflect HIS feeling. i always feel...

wow thnx pm, I think I got your point. According to that, I consider myself a Christian who's very confused by the details. My best friend since high school (=junior high in USA) is an Anglican like you. I'm not sure what the differences are between Anglicans and Christians but I've...

sorta taking this thread in a new direction: It seems to me that there are different divisions within Christianity, eaching holding their own set of believes based upon common foundations. Given that God gave us free choice, I can see why this division exists. For people who are brought up...

thnx locket and crossrunner ^^ Well I saw a couple of other posts on homosexuality in the Christian forums. And basically ppl who identify as Christians seem to hold the conviction that God holds homosexuality in comtempt, that it is a sin. My personal views are somewhat closer to that...

Thanks again for the replies so far, the last few posts brought out one of my other concerns: It's sorta safe to say that everyone reads the Bible and come to their own terms with it, but there is such a huge range of opinions as to what is a metaphor, what isn't... what God means by a certain...

I think you've found the underlying reason I posted the 'selfishness' thread. I know my flaws and I was affraid that I 'd turn to Christianity for all the wrong reasons. m... I'd never thought of it like that. ~but then I haven't been thinking about this long at ALL. which is why I agree...

thnx for the lovely welcome everyone it's nice but a little scary for me cus everyone's so nice in christian communities and I'm just a sub-average person with skeletons - no, a whole halloween collection - in the closet. oh i should've mentioned, I'm from melbourne too! aussie aussie...

Thnx basil, fear of doubt was the only thing preventing me from searching God years ago. I had the impression that if Christians didn't have doubt at all (the first few Christians I spoke too made really strong impressions), and so if I try to be one, I'd fail all the time and be a living lie...

thnx for ur posts every1... me trying to go through em... hope i didn't miss your points. Dear awen (i keep almost typing arwen... lol) Very good point you made -- me bad for forgetting last semesters embryology! I guess my point was a doomed one from the start. We don't know EVERYTHING yet so...

woahwa... so much to digest... so the over all idea is, cus we're sinful... we can't love selflessly? well, even if we can't get to 'perfection', we should just try as much as possible right? I like what Humble Bee said: "...unconditional love for God increase by fellowshipping with...

this is such a weird question... sorry to bother you all again. do you love god because he loves u, forgives u, provides for u? do you fear god because he has the power to judge u, punish u? makes sense right? to love god for the nice things he gives you and fear him for the power he has over...

Dear Beloved Child, friendly posts like yours are sooo hard to respond to: i just wanna give you a hug and say thnx and agree with everything you say. (soz i'm such a push over) but... (must keep asking questions!) XD I am empathetic to your view that That's one of the reasons I sought...

That's a bit scary... has a bit of that: if they don't believe it, then they can go to hell -air to it. Sorry I sound bitter, but say, some1 without the benefit of being brought up in, or exposure to the teachings of God will surely take longer to accept him. Are you implying that you would...

Thankyou for your responses Hi LilRitt, That's a good question I haven't asked myself yet, so I'm glad you did. First and foremost I have to be honest (and I hope I don't offend you too much here) and say that I can't believe in the bible. I can accept that, maybe, in it's most original...

if you don't mind conversation with a 18year bisexual girl who is trying to find god --- i'd love to hear your views/advice thnx ppls.

thankyou mark. I've asked jesus to come into my heart, but I don't know if he will come if I haven't repented properly. I still pray tho. I hope things are okay with you and your daughter. You sound like a kind and understanding person. Like my mum, she's doesn't understand the whole gay...

I couldn't bring myself to ask my church friends... I think I'm gay. There I said it. Wasn't easy to type that (on a Christian forum, too). Pretty obvious why I'm pleading for prayers. If you can give me advice, I'd be very thankful. Drowning.

Firstly I'd like to say that I don't intend to offend anyone. I'm going to ask some questions, maybe difficult questions. I apologise in advance if I rub you the wrong way, but you have the choice to look away now and alt-F4. start with these, for the believers out there: Why do...

-Aussie newb to forums says Hi and How are ya?- I was raised in an Agnostic/Atheist family and recently accepted Christ at a Korean church in Australia (I am not Korean, my friend introduced me). Since I don't know much about Christianity yet, I was wondering if I classify as a Christian. I...

hey all, (woots for 1st post) I've seen both movies and the first series of GITS. the movies i believe are M15+. Whilst at first glance the movies are not anti-Christian, there are a few themes explored that may offend you. For example, the term 'ghost' in the title referrs to the...
