    Questioning John....

    Hello, I am brand new on this site, but I have no religious family members to help me understand this. I am not entirely religious, mostly because I am still seeking a belief, but I enjoy picking up propaganda related books to see through the mindset of what shoes people are in. (Bible, Mein...

    Newish Christian. What now?

    Hi everyone! I've been a nominal Christian for a while, I've read the Bible and I know a fair amount about a number of denominations. Despite all that, of course, I am still a beginner since I only recently made the decision after years of soul-searching to actually try to live as a Christian...

    A Question

    Christ is Risen! Greetings, my dear Orthodox brothers and sisters. I have a question for those of more experience in Our Faith. Some time ago, when discussing my conversion to Holy Orthodoxy with my parish priest and dear spiritual Father, I was asked whether or not I had been previously...

    Why do you believe?

    I am interested in the fundamental logic for a persons belief system. For example, if someone tells me they are a Christian, I might ask the question, "So why are you a Christian?". The person might respond, "Because I believe in Jesus". I might continue, "And why do you believe in Jesus?"...

    What Can I Do in a Catholic Church as a (soon to be ex) Protestant?

    I was considering on Orthodoxy or Catholicism (slight Lutheran possibility as well, mind you), and I was wondering if I could pray beside the priest or something. What can I do as a newcomer?

    Conflicted About 1 John 5:7

    It is such a clear defense of the Trinity in the King James Version but in nearly all the newer versions, the part mentioning about how the 3 were 1 was removed. They said it was because they were trying to match he 'original' manuscripts. Confused about the issue. The verse in the KJV feels...

    Will we get to spend alone time with Jesus in Heaven?

    Hello everyone, I have been really thinking about this question today. When I spend alone time with Jesus I think of Him and I together, but I'm not sure if that will be so in Heaven. There will be plenty of people there who will want to spend time with Him as well. I'm also wondering if they...

    Questions regarding psychopaths..

    I have trouble regarding psychopaths or sociopaths and how it relates to salvation? I have always been a firm believer in that everyone is born with a conscience, the bible backs me up on that belief. Well, supposedly psychopathic individuals don't have a conscience, and simply lack empathy. I...

    New Christian with pre-destination question.

    While sharing my bible reading plan with a lifelong Christian and missionary I was advised that the end of Romans 8 covered a much debated topic; predestination. She explained to me that she had seen churches literally split apart because of the contraversy over this specific topic. So I read...

    Those who became atheist were "never Christian"?

    Why do some people say that if someone was Christian and then became atheist or agnostic, they weren't ever really a Christian or ever really saved to begin with? I find it insulting and hurtful to those who earnestly sought Jesus and did not find, especially those who were minsters or...

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, one of my Christian friends send me this post about how Yoga is Satanic: Yogic Is Satanic : JoyofSatan666 There are also numerous posts about how Shiva and Dionysus are also Satan, etc etc. I'm afraid because a lot of Christians do Yoga and I wanted to...

    Eternity

    As many people do, when I start to think about spending eternity with Jesus I start to get a little scared. I cannot wait to live and praise Him every day, and to live in a perfect world with Him, but the thought of going on forever with no end makes me nauseous. I'm terrified to just go on...

    Hello, My mother has never seemed fond of me. She tells me I am worthless, has tried to push me out of moving cars, lies to me, tells others I am a bad person, blames every problem in our household & life on me, and never seems content with what I do. Today our pet died and she told me that it...

    Question on Baptism

    Hi everyone, I attend a non denominational church where it is required that one must speak with all the Elders (Same as pastors. Just that they don't like the 'title' of Pastor.) separately if one wants to take baptism. Depending on how it goes, they can say yes or no to your getting baptised...

    Padre Pio answer to dilemmatic theology question

    Dear my brothers and sisters in Christ, A while ago I watched the movie "Padre Pio." In that movie, the "Catholic church authorities" (I don't know how I should address them) investigated Padre Pio's divine experience. At one scene, it showed that Padre Pio whispered to one of those authorities...
