    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.

    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...

    On the subject of homosexuality...

    I'm not against love in any way, shape or form. I believe that ANY two individuals can feel genuine love for one another. I also believe that two people of the same gender (like brothers, sisters, or even best friends) can love each other as much as they could love anyone else. I do not...

    Is it just me, or are most Christian songs... boring?

    In terms of lyric repetition, mood, and overall feel, do most Christian songs sound really lame to anyone else? Or am I just thinking of church music...

    Can't tell if I'm sinful, or just a teen... HELP!!

    Hey, guys. So, I'm really addicted to... I wouldn't say 'porn', but... just looking at beautiful girls. As a 16 year-old boy with "raging hormones", limited biblical knowledge and some of the worst social skills EVER (as in, I've never dated a girl), I'm not really sure what to think. Any...
