    So I broke up with my first girlfriend tonight...

    I didn't think I was going to care that much, but the word "Goodbye" really got my stomach turning. We both knew it was the right thing to do, so I certainly don't have any hard feelings toward her, and even though she's really upset with me, I know she feels the same. So... I guess, if you...

    A Big Ol' Decision

    Hey y'all, I'm figuring whether I should stay in school for the semester, or take a leave of absence for a few months to figure out what I'm doing with my time up here at college. I could really use some wisdom right now, and I'd appreciate it if someone would pray for me. I'm already prayin'...

    Is it insane to want to go to hell?

    Jesus is Lord of All, the Way, Truth and Light, and He has forgiven the sins of those who trust in Him. That stuff is all really easy for me to admit, and I get that for most people, it's all a Christian needs to know. But... I'm kind of a miserable wreck. I sin all the time, which is normal...

    What do you guys make of this verse? (Romans 13:8-10)

    I don't know what translation this is (probably NIV), but it effectively reads the same as the KJV, so it's most likely just fine: Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, 'Do not...

    Am I still a real Christian?

    I never feel anything when I'm at church, or even when I pray. I figure that the disconnect is probably being caused by something I'm doing wrong, but I never feel anything when I try to ask for forgiveness either. Am I just an inherently unfeeling person most of the time, or am I going about...

    Please pray for my girlfriend...

    My girlfriend is one of the sweetest people I know. She's kind, beautiful, smart, funny, and really goodhearted. But she doesn't see herself like that; she thinks of herself as a terrible person, a pervert and an ungodly woman. I love her so much, and it kills me to hear her talk about...

    Why is Homosexuality a Sin?

    I get that it's wrong to have sex with others of your gender, as it states so clearly in the Bible. But what it doesn't clarify is why marriage between two of the same sex is forbidden. What damage will it do, or what good will it not do that a normal marriage would? I'm not LGBTQ myself, nor...

    How does one read the Bible?

    Apparently going from Genesis through Revelations without jumping around at all is a bad idea, but why? How are people who are new to reading the Bible supposed to read it? Is there a specific order of books that is recommended, or are you just supposed to pick out verses that help you with...

    Having troubles with my mom...

    So, I have youth group at my local church on Thursdays after school. It runs from 6:30 to 8:30, and my mom insisted for a while that me and my sister be home by 9:00. I've been late pretty consistently, arriving at home at 9:15 most nights, and the worst she has ever done has been becoming...

    So... wait. Who was the right person to elect just there?

    Guys, I'm so confused right now. Who were we supposed to vote for: the murderer or the bigot? Was there really a "right" decision that America could have made on November 8th? And why is one half of America condemning the other half for making the "wrong" decision? What have we done wrong...

    I'm in love!!

    Hi, everybody! I just recently got together with a girl I've known for a few years, and I think she's pretty amazing! I love her personality. She's very kind and surprisingly thoughtful, shy, and yet very spunkey. She's also totally willing to beat me up if I tease her, which is an awesome...

    Pokemon = Demons?!

    Hello, Christian Chat! It's good to be back. Hopefully I'll make more friends (and fewer adversaries) this time around. One thing I've seen floating around in the media lately is that POKEMON ARE DEMONS that will POSSESS YOUR CHILDREN and grant them OCCULT, MAGICAL POWERS AGAINST GOD!! Also...

    Suicide Help

    Nothing I enjoy is useful to anyone, or worth doing. I have few friends. I'll never have a girlfriend because I'm such a coward. I'm horribly arrogant. I've wasted my childhood playing video games and playing piano, which I dropped after ten years. I wanted to be a zoologist, which is a...

    Well, Addicted again...

    Pornography is a real jerk, ya' know? Seems like everyone I know was addicted at one point or another. For me, it's been almost seven years of beating the hell outta' myself for being such a failure. A failure to me, as I honesty believed I was done a year ago. A failure to my mom, who...

    Is the Book of Mormon legit?

    Wondering what you guys think about this. I have a few Mormon acquaintances that I dearly love, and I'm just curious about the legitimacy of the actual Book that they incorporate into their walks with God.

    How do I get my profile picture to show up on threads?

    Because seriously, guys, I've got a pretty awesome picture, and nobody gets to see it. How is that okay?

    Heaven sounds super lame.

    Hello again, brothers and sisters. So, I was chatting with my ma the other day, and she said that Heaven is a crowded place where everything is noisy, bright and joyous, and where all people do ALL DAY is praise God. Now, I feel kind of awful saying this, but church is really boring to me...

    Finding it hard to repent

    So... I got addicted to pornography when I was 11. I'm 16 now, and still addicted. I told my mom about it half a year ago, and I stopped for a few weeks. But then I started again, and now cannot stop myself. I've asked God for His aid, but I guess I'm either disconnected from Him, or he's...

    On the subject of homosexuality... (again)

    Sorry, guys, but I'm really drawn to this subject for some reason. Anyways, I was pondering the famous question of, "Is being gay a choice?" this evening, and I came to a conclusion: Unless you have strong faith in God, then NO, it is not a choice. Woah, now; put those stones away for now...

    I don't want to get married.

    As stated above, I really don't like the concept of getting married. I know that it's normal to do so, and that many married people are happy with their marriages. But... I'm kind of scared of the responsability, hardship and stress that come with it. Plus, I don't think I'd ever have the...
