    What is lacking in Christ's afflictions?

    Hello I'd appreciate if someone could explain to me the meaning of Colossians 1:24. "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church" Thanks :)

    Has anyone been affected by evil spirits while having acupuncture?

    I'm considering trying some acupuncture. Some christians advise against it. I understand that the practice originates from unbiblical eastern philosophies, and some of this crazy eastern stuff actually involves conjuring evil spirits, but the practice itself appears to have proven medicinal...

    Please pray for my ankle to be healed. I busted it about 10 weeks ago and it isn't improving. I can't run or play tennis or trampoline or any sport or fun stuff. Its pretty depressing. Thanks.

    God told me to have toast for breakfast this morning

    I'm very curious, often skeptical, when people say that God is 'speaking' to them. People seem to say this quite flippantly, and I'm not always sure what they mean. i.e. "God told me to talk to this person" or "God told me to buy this house". For me, I can't recall ever having the experience...

    Predestination Predestination Predestination Predestination Predestination

    I'm doing my best to understand predestination, but its confusing. I know there's a million threads on this but they don't answer my questions. I have come to the conclusion, that God has predestined some people to be saved. I can't see another way to interpet the following verses: Romans...

    How did the angels sin if there is no sin in heaven? / Is their free will in heaven?

    Various pasages in the bible point to heaven as a sinless place. I have heard it said that the angels had one opportunity, as we do, to either follow God or rebel, and after making that choice, they can't go back. The bad angels won't get a second chance and the good ones won't want to sin. Is...

    Should I use the same bible version as my church even though I don't like it?

    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...

    Court case

    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...

    How can prisoners be more useful

    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...

    omg omg omg

    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'...

    When is it ok for a man to cry?

    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.

    ok BAM here's a question

    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...

    What's so bad about calvinism?

    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...

    Should makeup be banned?

    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...

    Opportunities to serve

    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...
