    God and Time: Does God exist in all points in time?

    While God has no limits to what He can do (See this thread here), does God actually exist in all points in time? I imagine somebody out there believes God had hit the rewind button. Now, while God could have let events in human history to unfold rapidly fast to view it all and then He could...

    Is it necessary or beneficial to discuss the details of past sin?

    Good morning brothers and sisters, I've been having a discussion with an online friend, and I'm trying to feel out what kind of believer he might be. It can be more difficult to discern the fruits of the spirit online, but I think it's possible with the Holy Spirit's guidance. I have been...

    I've lost my virginity - now what?

    At the young age of 10 I was exposed to something that I till this day can't process. I was raped. To be honest, I've been living in denial since, as at that stage I did not know ANYTHING about men and sex,etc. I honestly didn't know what had just happened to me. Till this day, I can't remember...
