    No aliens only angels.

    No aliens only angels. Many of us have seen lights in the sky some have experienced much more of this strange and controversial topic. The bible tells us nothing of beings from other worlds only that of angels as God's first creation. The many good angels that are sent to our world to assist us...

    Concerning Pain, Evil and Suffering

    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...

    Am I two people? What is my true self, the good or the evil?

    I do know I honestly believe in Jesus, and hope beyond hope that reality will be eternal life. I also honestly wish to follow all the teachings of Christ, and to be a servant of God. So this seem to indicate I am a good person. The same time I suffer, but perhaps deserved, because I've truly...

    The Evil Inclination

    Over two years ago, I posted a thread on this topic at Mi Yodeya / The Jewish Stack exchange, and said the following "I'm a Christian who wants to know more about history of the Jewish concept of "The Evil Inclination". (I find myself often arguing against saint Augustine's Original Sin...

    Why are you Christian?

    I don't ask to question your faith, I ask because you need to be prepared. So why are you a Christian? Is it because you heard a message and thought you couldn't stand to be in hell? Is it because you have been blessed and you want to keep being blessed? Is it because you want to do something...

    Sin as Privation?

    The view of sin as privation is popular among Christian philosophers, but less so among Christian theologians and exegetes, since the Bible seems to depict sin in positive terms. For example, in Romans 6:17-18 (and many other places) sin is depicted as a power which enslaves or binds people...

    Deeply troubled, please help.

    Hello. I am wondering where to post this question. I have tried to embrace Christianity. Jesus seems to be the truth. I have good reason to believe He did in fact heal people and came back to life after being crucified. But I cannot understand how "God's gifts" and "God" are not the same...

    The 1 Percenters!!!

    Democrat Politicians constantly preach about the 1 percenters. What they don't say, and what they don't want you to know, is that they themselves tend to be apart of that 1 percent. As well as Democrats that donate to their campaigns, are the majority of amongst the richest people not only in...

    My country is failing me, by not respecting my health.

    So what do I do about what's going on around me? Do I even have the power to change the world? Or should I just sit back, relax, and keep my focus on things above. I feel like I have great ideas about how we should be living our lives, but will the people in power ever take the time to listen. I...

    The Problem Of Evil

    Points of consideration: (All arguable, of course) God has created His beings with intellectual ability and creativity. Lucifer created the idea of rebellion—specifically, the notion that a created being can govern himself and/or others better than the Creator could/would/does—in his own...

    To have a Jezebel spirit?

    This has been puzzling me for years and even more so recently as I have done some research on it. What does it mean to have a Jezebel spirit? Is one demonically possessed or has there own eternal spirit become a Jezebel spirit or does it mean something else entirely?

    Dialogue on Freewill and Determinism

    This is an article that is a collection of message board conversations and email exchanges between an Orthodox priest father John (FJ) and a number of Calvinist Protestants (CP) going back to the late 1990s. I find it enlightening on the issue, but I believe I would call it a "straw dog". A...

    Killing the Devil inside of me, with the help of Descartes?

    Someone said not too long ago that "these are the times that try men's souls," or something to that effect. I suppose he was right in some capacity because, let's face it, we all seem to be languishing in a world gone awry, and even if someone doesn't presently adhere to some form of Metaphysics...
