    Christians with addictions

    I have wondered about this for some time. I personally do not have any major addictions I can think of besides caffiene. But ...what about others around us who stugglle? I have known sex addicts, alcoholics, drug addicts etc and those results from the addictions cause sin.... I feel for them...

    Biblical Teaching...Learning from others mistakes

    Today I have come across numerous threads about sins committed after salvation and there are as many opinions and thoughts on it as there a denominations of faith...(makes sense)... Anyway, as I was meditating on this and thinking on scriptures and teachings I realized that so much of the Bible...

There is action of Dark Matter, but Dark Matter itself is not detected: it has no material interactions (no strong, no weak, no electromagnetic). A matter without matter interactions...

    Hello Everyone

    I'm a Christian and have been since October 3, 1998 at 7:14 p.m. I am new to this site and really love the hope and love of God that's expressed on here. Its funny I remember that exact time I got saved but I do. The reason is I was under deep conviction at that time and was trapped in the...

    An encouraging thought...

    I have started reading the Lord of the Rings again, and taking a closer look at the Christian themes in the series. One line that keeps resurfacing in talks about the Catholic themes of the Lord of the Rings is this: I often say, one the biggest, albeit personal reasons why I'm Catholic is...

    Catholic prayer request: impulsive thoughts

    I really don’t want to post this but, I really need prayers now. I committed a mortal sin this week and have waiting until Saturday to go to confession. I don’t want to scare anyone but, today I started having really bad impulsive thoughts. Thoughts that are of almost the same intensity as the...

    Romans 11:5-6

    "In the same way, there is also at the present time a remnant chosen by grace. Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace." (HCSB) My interpretation of this is that while Paul was talking about Israel in general, he changes the context here to mean those saved...

    Law and Faith

    Does the subject of law and faith ever confuse you? I think it can be confusing for those of us who were born in the Messianic age, and not under the Old Covenant, as the Jews of old were. I think, too, that in this confusion a lot of false doctrines were born out of wrong ideas of what all this...

    Suffering For The Sake Of Others

    Hoooooo boy. I think God lately is making it very clear that He intends to make me more Christlike by allowing me to suffer (and suffer immensely) so that I can be of help and comfort to others. I'm already doing it now. Good gracious that's wonderful and a joy to me but it also makes me so...

    It Produces Change

    Justified by Faith Romans 5:1-2 ESV Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. When we are born into...

    Weed and Worship

    I guess it shouldn't have surprised me, but it did. There's a belief that grace covers sin, no matter what choice you make...and we are free to choose whatever we want because God gave us free will. "Smoking pot enlightens and opens your mind to really hear from God." Huh? and Huh? again...

    "But, I'm Only Human"

    I've heard this poison preached by all sorts of people, including pastors and teachers alike. The issue isn't that your only human but looking for an excuse to willfully sin. Many look to justify their sins by claiming to not be perfect... Lets face it, were not. However when we know what it...

    Chaplet of the Little Crown for healing and freedom from mortal sin

    I've decided to put almost all of my prayers on hold, until I heal my wounds and free myself (with the help of the Lord's grace) from mortal sin once and for all. Some of my prayer intentions I have give to my friends to have them pray for while I am busy healing. It is my hope that once I'm...

    Help from a former Pro-Domme

    I've had BDSM fantasies from early childhood and have been trapped into it since. It has been a nightmare. Praise God, by his grace he set me free 4 months ago. This has been a huge breakthrough for me but very isolating as no one knows. God answered my prayers and each time I had a thirst...
