belief

Jesus speaking: “And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you...

Hello, I've been helping setting up a mini-website & experiment regarding happy moments. Would you kindly consider sharing one or more of your daily happy moments there : www.momentous.me It is anonymous, no email asked, no ads, and nothing to sell. We would like to get and analyse what matters...

I have a deep belief in one God—the Creator of all things. Every morning, I get on my knees and surrender myself to this higher power. This practice has been a source of comfort and strength for me. However, I've recently been exploring Christianity and have encountered a challenge that I'm...

Hi, The topic of hell came up at a meal time with my family a while back. My Dad being on the fence when it comes to Christianity, challenged me to see whether I could find anything online about there being evidence for hell and to send him what I found. I have only recently got round to...

Every Old Testament book point toward the Great Sacrifice that was to come. Jesus’ sacrificial giving of His own life/blood on every believer's behalf. Lev 17:11 is the Old Testament’s central statement about the significance of blood in the sacrificial system. God, speaking to Moses...

Interested in people's thoughts about how belief is supported by identity and vice versa. Some definitions: I'd rather not get sidetracked into discussions of what belief means, so belief for this thread just means what you happen to think is true. Identity - for this discussion everything...

Hi there, So the crux of this, is that you should take far lesser confidence in having come from anything, even if it seems more remarkable at first, that you did at all. What is needed is a newer you. This is hard, in and of itself. Even if you did come from apes, and it seemed even more...

These thoughts are offered in the hope that they may begin what logical defense of Christianity does not always do: To those who don't know HIM, you have maybe some vague concept of the agony of separation from God, and the joy of closeness to Christ. Maybe you have some experience with guilt...

Mark 9:33 Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?” But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest. And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If...

Hello to everyone and I hope you're all well. I have been struggling with illness for many years. It has been permanent (not easing and there every minute of the day) for at least 2 years. I am always completely exhausted and dizzy. I have regular nausea, sweating and overheating. I am usually...

Members of the National Academy of Science are far more likely to withhold belief in the supernatural than the general population. Science majors in general lack belief more than the general population. Biblical and New Testament scholars do not often hold conservative theological beliefs such...

Hi, I'm a non-believer who would like to believe. Right now I just don't know if God exists and despite my desire to believe I just can't force myself to do so. I think I've heard all the logical arguments for the existence of God, and while they do make sense all they do is provide a plausible...

I’ve been a seeker a while on this site but I realised I believe in what the Bible says and I believe that Jesus died and rose again to take my penalty so that I may go to heaven - as without Him I have no chance. Today I said to Jesus that I believe that he did die and rise again for me because...

One of the many things which has surprised me about Christianity, since joining CF back in 2012, is the apparently widespread Christian belief in the existence of demons. Attributing various negative events and strange experiences to demonic activity is a regular occurrence in this Forum...

Ok I have been a christian for 26 years. God literally saved me from a demonic spirit wanting to kill me. The two things that drive me are: 1) God has promised us Christians more than we could ever hope for. 2) We have one opponent, a supernatural enemy, who is crafty and constantly trying to...

I believe God loves us all. There is no Hate in God whatsoever; however it is impossible to misinterpret what the bible says about homosexuality. The United States was founded as a Christian Nation, yet we have more filth on television than any other nation. We proudly showcase shows...

Hi there, So Jesus dealt with the Devil. The Holy Spirit will deal with the Anti-Christ. The Great Witness will deal with the False Prophet. But in the End, God will deal with the "mark". In coming to God then, we must be humble about what we consider wisdom to be. The unbelieving cannot do...

I don't want to become one, just wondering. I could never get a straight answer out of one. It seems overly spiritual for me to understand and remember. I wouldn't know how to witness to one from a Protestant perspective.

Hi there, So I posted something about seeing the cross in a Jewish way. My friend HARK! asked me to post here. The point was simply this: people see in the cross, what they want to see. The foundation for this observation was simply thus: people of the world, do not know how to distinguish...
