Genesis verses 1:14-19 seem to belong after verse 1:5. I have long been a student of Genesis, especially chapters 1-3, and I came across this odd observation/problem/solution a few years ago, not 'because' of any problem related to the creation events, but purely from a 'linguistic' observation...

As followers of Jesus Christ, we read the Bible, not just for intellectual enlightenment, and not just as a history book or as a book of poetry, or as part of an English Literature Class. We read the Bible (Genesis to Revelation) because we believe it to be the Word of God. Therefore, we read it...

I am sorry for the bad English, my native language is Dutch. Reflections of a christian part 3 Many look too much what the Scripture says and too little what the Holy Spirit says, I have written about it before, and shared it on the internet, I will also share it here: Under the guidance of...

I guess it's good form to introduce myself before posting. So here we go. My name's Bryan. I went to a Church of England school and had a fairly standard religious upbringing for an Englishman. Now I'm a humanist. However, I have a lot of time for Christianity and Christians, and my Bible is...

I have been struggling with temptation and lust, with a coworker of mine. I prayed over it, but those prayers of "I know this is what I should pray about, but in my heart it's not what I want." And here I am now, with the temptation removed, but my heart aching. Asking for prayers of...

Note to moderator. If this post in not in the correct forum, please feel free to move it. Recently I was having an online discussion with a Protestant about various teachings of Protestantism as compared to the teachings of the Catholic Church. He asked several interesting questions, so I...

Hello everyone! This will be a bit of a lengthy thread, so I'll add a tl;dr at the end. I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread section, I wasn't sure which section to post in, since they all seem fairly specific. Christian advice seemed appropriate, but I can repost elsewhere if necessary...

I've been sharing my journey into Catholicism with my mother and she always tells me to 'check the Scriptures please' as in that I have to verify everything I believe with scripture. How should I respond to that?

Hello, I’ve never used this before but I thought I’d give it a go. I have a very close friend and she is one of the most important people in my life. I’d do anything for her. She has had an incredibly hard life, she was abused as a child, lost a close sibling, and was also sexually assaulted...

From a recently mentioned article: Here’s Proof That Not Every Protestant Doctrine is Biblical "Yet a curious double standard seems to be in play here, whether intended or not. The New Testament never mentions a host of things that Protestants of various stripes believe in. For example, it...

I'm a firm believer. My boyfriend is, too. We are waiting for marriage (should we decide we are meant to be married) before sexual contact. We've officially only been a couple since Valentine's Day (9 days ago). I had a total hysterectomy and both ovaries removed due to problems with them in...

Two men are reading the same bible, one is always alone, the other is always in [high] Church services. Which one is apt to see the services in the written scripture when any portion of one is mentioned? Forgive me...

Hello everyone! I hadn't really planned on joining a forum but it was suggested by God almighty so I am doing so. I hope to meet family members of the body of Christ (those with the Holy Spirit) and to inspire others to repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus so they, too, can receive the gift...

I have spent a lot of time discussing theology with Roman Catholics, since I was born and raised Roman Catholic but have left that faith on account of their doctrine and dogma. Thus, that brings me to a few questions that I have been reflecting on for a while now. During these discussions with...

why i advocate for cannabis as a christian.. firstly we must look at something that is often overlooked and or not cared about... in the christian church.. and it is in Genesis 1:31 and it is in Acts 10:11-15 now lets look at the older church stance that sticks out in my head as the argument...
