    Seek the help of the wise, Some of the questions teens

    I have suffered a lot during the year and I have been away from this forum. I went to high school, but because I didn't work hard enough, I got into a very bad high school, and because the school was so bad, I had to choose to study at home in the hopes of getting into a good college, but...

    Regret of being a late bloomer and older singleness

    I don't mean this to be a downer post; I'm much happier today than I've been for years due to coming back to my Christian faith. However, I thought maybe other single Christians might be able to offer good advice. I've never dated when I was younger due to shyness and some body image issues. I...

There was a person's profile who instantly stood out...

    Heard 'God' said that 'John' was my husband...texted him and he was very rude to me

    Hi, around two days ago, as I was dozing off, I heard, not audibly, but in my heart, God said 'you already know your husband.' So I shot him a few names and when I mentioned 'John' (not his real name) God said yes, it was John. I hadn't kept in touch with John for a year, but I do remember...

    Rocks formed naturally vs Rocks created by God in Genesis 1

    A simple alternative to explaining the carbon-dating flaw is the fact that our Scientific knowledge of rock formation is limited to how they are formed now on their own; either igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rocks, a slow process and build-up of rocks over time, from volcanos, sea beds...

    Hi everyone who decides to read this!! Lucky you, you're in for a treat... The church I grew up in (Baptist/Pentecostal) started going woke and seeker sensitive and it turned out to be worse than I thought... Perhaps it was gradually creeping in and I just didn't realize it. Upon participating...

    Harm OCD

    Last night I was out with my boyfriend, and we were going to sit on the trunk of his car and look at the stars. He tried to lift me up to sit on the trunk, but it was a little awkward and I ended up sitting on his hand. As I was getting situated, I was thinking about making sure I wasn't gonna...

    Struggling with same sex attraction

    Hello, I've battled SSA for about 14 years now. I've never had a girlfriend, never kissed a girl, but it's an attraction that I've been aware of for a long time. Sometimes it's barely a passing thought, but lately I've been acutely aware of the issue. I feel as though I have to police my brain...
