questioning

Isaiah 43:8-13 ESV Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears! All the nations gather together, and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right, and...

Hi. I grew up in a small Southern Baptist church that my something-great-great-grandparents helped found. It's not really a great place for dynamic preaching or worship -- it's just my family and a few other families, sharing the love and Gospel of Christ. I love it for that, and in some way, it...

Hello everyone! I'm just curious, what do you all think about romantic relationships that run long distances? More specifically, how do you think a couple in that kind of relationship should operate, especially for two Christians? What are your opinions on relationships that have started online...

I've heard and read so much about "having a relationship with Jesus and God", but I just don't get it. To me the Bible is a gigantic rule book telling you that if you don't follow every single detail of it, God will make you suffer for eternity. How am I supposed to feel any love for that...

I came to this website for the first time just today to see and read what people were sharing. I can hardly believe my eyes as I have spent about an hour looking at different threads and the questions people are asking. God must just shake his head at how absurd we can be. Questions that have...

Hello, Me and my pastor have started a ministry online. I wanted to start this ministry because of the direction I have seen many churches going recently. They are starting to become social groups preaching a watered down gospel and forgetting about making disciples and saving peoples souls...

Hello all. Here's my story. I'm hoping to gain encouragement and advice and wisdom from you all<3 When I was working at a grocery store, years ago, a woman used to come in, and every time she would ask me if I was Christian, if I followed Jesus. And I politely said no. And she said, 'Oh, you're...

It seems like often when doubters/agnostics/atheists present questions or problems to Christians, some get hostile. They say that they're trying to spread deceit, that they aren't true Christians, that doubting is dangerous, that they'll go to hell, etc. Why do many seem so afraid to question...

2018 EDIT: I no longer hold the views that I wrote in this thread. If you'd like an updated version of where I'm at in my faith journey, look at my "Update on Where I've Been" thread. Thank you! Hello everyone, To start this off, I come from a muslim background. I was raised strictly muslim...

I feel seriously bugged by this (among other things). Some say that if you turn away from the faith, then you were "never truly saved" or "weren't really Christian/were just pretending". How is that fair? Saying someone who honestly seeks answers, doesn't find them in Christ, and leaves the...

Hey, so I'm new here. I posted in this thread because I didn't know where else to. If you're reading this, thank you very much. I appreciate that you're willing to hear what I have to say. I've talked about this with many other people, but decided to present this to a new crowd. So, here's...

I feel like I’ve finally realized something. Something I should have realized a long time ago. I have heard my entire life that people have relationships with God. It never clicked with me that what I was missing was indeed, a relationship with God. I have never really doubted the existence of...
