    I cannot understand the need for the crucifixion-and i think it’s holding my Christian life back

    Hey, some people run away from God asking questions, others run to God asking questions.. Who do you think would get the answer? I've had questions that had taken years for me to understand. Regardless of my lack of understanding, God is still God. He's neither shocked nor disappointed...

    What does 'Repent' mean ?

    Yeah, that's pretty much it. Somehow crying, condemnation, lack of self worth has also crept into the meaning of repentance but truly it's deciding to not go on doing what you were doing.

    Do sinners (people who still sin) see their sin in others?

    Love, forgiveness, mercy, compassion.. These are the works God is looking for and will be written on the heart of those who belong to Him.

    Turning churches into celltowers

    It's a world understanding to think that the church is a building. The church is the people of God, living stones that Jesus is building. I will not claim to know the hearts of the owners of those buildings, if it's for greed or the money gained is truly being used to service people rather than...

    Sadly, this is what happens when you pride yourself in your knowledge. Get over yourselves people.

    COVID-19 Deaths???

    It's not all about the dying. The suffering involved for some is what we want to avoid too. My colleague In the US, her sister contracted the virus. Fell into a coma for 3 weeks and is now getting throat surgery. Now this is an extreme case but I don't wish this upon anyone.

    No, I don't attend any congregation at the moment, why would you make such an assumption?

    The fall of democracy in Melbourne

    Yes it sure does seem that way. I don't follow the news all that closely. Neither do I take too seriously what opposition leaders say either for alit of what I've heard of late when listening to 3AW is politicians slamming each other for points. I gladly admit it could be nieve of me, but I'm...

    What did Jesus mean when He said, "Let the dead bury their dead"?

    Sorry I'm not sure what you're asking. I think he did yeah? But was caught up in worldly matters?

    The fall of democracy in Melbourne

    You were quite detailed in your criticisms of the government's decisions but not so much in your opinion of what should be done, I'm genuinely interested. I don't know much at all what socialism is, I don't know if this is it? I don't think the government has a long term plan at all, I don't...

    What did Jesus mean when He said, "Let the dead bury their dead"?

    I wouldn't go as far as that lol the spiritually alive shouldn't bury the physically dead? Soggykitten is spot on. Context is required to understand otherwise we try and interpret from our current thinking and can totally miss the mark

    Christians Being Separate From The World

    I do not believe that fasting for any length of time is an indication of separation from the world. I have known people who do lengthy fasts (yes, multiple 40 days) and still walk out with the same issues as they returned. I believe they trusted in their ability to do such things, rather than...

    Why am I depressed even though I'm a christian?

    May I address your question? Please don't assume your position in Christ makes you immune to such things. There is nothing wrong with you. You are not further from God because of it. It's easy to say but it's times like these where actual faith needs to be exercised. Choosing to believe His...

    Christians Being Separate From The World

    I see the value in what you are saying and it's more than amazing if you have found breakthrough by such means but it is not a formula (I'm sure you would know this already) The ability to even fast for a few days, to a week to 20, 30, 40 days is beyond I would presume 90% of people or more, let...

    Why Do Certain Elements On This Forum Just Attack And Criticize?

    I think part of it is pride of knowledge and performance mentality. John 5:39 is very good in this case. And yes, I had to google what that book, chapter and verse is lol
