I don't have answers and don't feel comfortable in discussing my specific issues. Along with being a Christian, I spent time in College studying Psychology and reading the DSM 4 and 5. Some of the answers of the Psychological Community are sadly painful. The Religious have been punitive and...

The Practioners I know are not religious. Are you?

Just my opinion here: I was diagnosed with CPTSD (Childhood Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) years ago and recovery has been a long long trudge. In my opinion, church going Christians have not been helpful in the remotest sense. I've forgiven those who committed unspeakable crimes against me, but...

Recently there are so many words around that are new to me, and being isolated in my apartment does not help. Part of the reason that I sought this forum out is to have some reasonably wholesome social contact. I have no idea what 'cancel culture', or 'trope' means.

I was not raised in a Christian home, and endured horrific abuse. In my late 20s I read a book called "The Late Great Planet Earth". I still have a copy of it. I was extremely hostile about Religion and very angry. So, one Saturday I decided to read that book and prove in my own mind that...

Wow! It is amazingly generous that citizens of that country would host a Christian web site.

I am confused about life and failed spectacularly and in ways that were shameful. There were mistakes I made that can not be undone, though I don't expect anyone to understand that. Amazingly, I got through it all with no criminal record, and today live a comfortable though lonely life. I am...

Reading in the OT, there are several incidents where the participants are not that well explained. Archeologically, there were civilizations in the pre Judaism era, the Sumerians and those before. There were also the Zoroastrians in what is modern day Iran. I don't know anything about...

Thank you. I am not involved with the LDS any more though must face that they helped me at a time when I had failed so badly that I wanted to end it. No one is all bad. I'm retired and write Sci Fi. Right now I am working on a story in which the people that Abraham met return to Earth. The...

Fake news should not be legal

I don't want to get into attacking them, so reluctantly I'll say this. One Sunday in Sunday school, something was said that conflicted with the KJV, I shared the Scripture reference and was told that the KJV was good in as much as it is translated correctly. They value the Book of Mormon and the...

I use Biblegateway often. It is much easier than my old 40lb Strong's Concordance. :) I was told, incorrectly, that the Mormons use the KJV and now that appears to be incorrect.

I understand that the book was written in more than one part and perhaps had more than one author. Is it seen as reliable?

Hi: You are going to make me work aren't you. I was sure that I saw that in the KJV but I am not infallible. :) My searches keep routing me back to the Mormons. I was a Mormon for a while. Sorry to spread error. They also teach that many will get planets of their own and be Gods. Hmmmm

Welcome. I write also. Right now I am working on a Biblical fiction story whose premise is that the visitors of the OT, Abrams world, have returned. I'm still in very early stage of the work so it is not well developed, and I can not predict where the story will go. I was a Christian and became...

There is also Scripture that states Jesus and satan are brothers. I was quite upset when I heard that, It is quite confusing to me.

I've got severe PTSD and your acting out triggers me. I'm sorry. I'll block you.

Wow, that is a lot of scripture to unpack! Perhaps you'd want to publish it in book form? As to the Trinity, there is the scripture where God says, "This is my son, in whom I am well pleased". Sadly the Holy Spirit remains obscure, and I don't know why. I'm pretty peaceful about whether there is...

I leave those people in peace, but don't take them seriously. I don't know where their ideas come from. There are others I could name. Personally, I hope that time is getting short and it has been 15 or more years since I thought about Tribulation theories. I'm a peaceful spiritual maverick.
