My church uses a translation that I'm not particularly fond of. Everyone uses it except for me. Is anyone aware of any scriptures that would compel a christian to use the same bible as their congregation? Often people are asked to read from the bible, and I'm not sure whether some would be...

I have a court case on Wednesday 18th November which I'm really nervous about. I get intimidated in situations where I have to speak in front of lots of people, and words tend to elude me. Please pray that God will give me the right words to speak and that I won't be nervous and that I won't...

I've been thinking about this alot, and I think that people in jail have it way too easy. Free meals, free accommodation, television, the chance to exercise, read and socialise.....I'm sure that refugees in the swat valley or sweatshop workers in Cambodia would jump at the chance to live in...

How do YOU study the bible? What methods do you use? Thanks

I want to see what everyone's views are on what constitutes taking the Lord's name in vain, but, specifically with regard to words used as replacements to the actual thing. It is my view that saying 'oh my gosh' is the same as saying 'oh my God', the same way as when someone says 'friggin'...

In touch with his feelings? Or just a big nancy boy? What do YOU think? Married women, does it bother you when your husband cries!!! I think its acceptable in some circumstances, but I want to hear what you all think first.

I have a medical issue which won't go away. Please pray that it gets resolved really quickly, as time is the issue here. Thanks. :)

Should a couple have common friends? Is it healthier for them to know a few of the same people and hang out with them together? Or is it perfectly fine to live in complete isolation from anyone but eachother, and maybe each person hangs out with their own friends separately. I've always heard...

Alot of people seem to find calvinism abhorrent. I want to know why. I find the concept of limited atonement slightly objectionable, but other than this I find no major problems with Calvin's teaching, so far. I know many would object to the concept of perseverance of the saints, but this...

The correct answer is YES. Why? Becuase it makes me want to vomit, that's why! Whoever you are, woman or man, YOU DON'T NEED IT! If you don't like the way you look, the worst thing you can do to yourself is put paint all over your face. It's just so gross!!!!!!! I hate the way lip...

I've been a Christian for a long time but since I've never really belonged to a church, I've never really been part of any evangelism, community work, serving opportunities, etc. I keep telling God that I am able and willing and ready to serve in whatever way He wants me to, but I can't seem...

Thankyou all for praying for my family recently. I ask you to pray again, for my friends this time, who are not Christians. I'm reluctant to be around them because I know they can be a bad influence on me, but they're the only friends I have (not including the wonderful people here), and I...

This is more of a query than a suggestion.... Sometimes a thread will turn up in my 'control panel' because it's one that I've replied to. It will say that the last reply in that particular thread was, say, 45 minutes ago, or 2 hours ago. But when I go to that thread, the last post was 4 or 5...

Hello! I like to download music but pay for it because I don't like stealing. I've recently downloaded iTunes but the range and variety of music available is painfully and disgustingly narrow. Does anyone know of any other legal music downloading websites/programs that have a better range...

Sometimes people post a huuuuuuuuuuge block of text without cutting it into paragraphs. Reading some posts feels like a very daunting task sometimes, and its very easy to lose your place on the page. Is there any way that the forum could automatically insert breaks into the text to create...

I often wonder this. Muslims believe that they worship the God of Abraham, the God spoken of in the Torah. We know that as Christians, we worship the God of the bible. Obviously the islamic faith is wrong, as they do not accept that Jesus is God, and are not saved. But are they worshiping...

I grew up in a Christian family, but I'm not sure that some of the people in my family have ever really asked themselves what it means to be a Christian and the implications that has for their lives. When I read 1 John and think of my family, I am scared, because I'm not sure that people in my...

I'd like to hear people's opinions on whether a woman should adopt her husband's surname when she marries him, and in what circumstances (if any) you, if you are a woman, would elect to keep your own name? Also, if you are a woman who has kept her own surname, why did you do it? I'm wondering...
