    I REGRET WATCHING PORN I'M IN CRISIS HELP

    Thank you for your bravery. It is not easy to openly speak of this subject. First, I would like to let you know that you are not the first, nor will you be the last to experience such things. Satan will use anything and everything to lead us away from God. "Idle hands are the devil's...

    Converting

    I am a Baptist Preacher. I understand the fear you must feel for leaving the teachings of your family. The Bible states we are to honor our father and mother, and it can be hard to be honoring to them while telling them that you are not following their faith based beliefs. I would suggest you...

    Teen modesty....

    I have had this discussion with many teens and mothers of teens lately. Many today let the trends of the day set what is acceptable daily wear. Yet our Lord tells us that we are to be set apart from the ways of the world. This includes how we dress. The Hebrew people were even given a strict...

    Society as a whole has a deep hatred for anything teenage girls like, why?

    Is this true? Growing up as a boy I wondered why everyone mocked my interests too. I was not in to odd ball things. I liked, what I later learned, most young boys liked. It just wasn't what those around me liked. With social media and overt bullying that is running rampant on the internet...

    Does God forgives sins

    This is a great question. Why did Jesus have to suffer and die to forgive our sins? The answer is not in the forgiveness of sin, but in the need to pay the debt for the sin. We incur a debt when we sin. Every sin incurs the same debt. It is death...eternal destruction...endless death, for the...

    How do you know if you have truly forgiven someone?

    Hello Redcars. Forgiveness is a tricky thing. Jesus tells us to forgive or we cannot be forgiven. But then are all people forgiven of their sins? Of course they are not. Why would our God command us to do what He does not do? To answer this we must understand what God is not saying, as well as...

    Afraid of the Holy Spirit?

    Hello Burn1986. You mentioned repeating the name of Jesus over and over again in prayer and waiting for His presence. May I ask what scripture backs this advice? I am aware of the scripture which states ask and it will be answered u to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be...

    Afraid of the Holy Spirit?

    Hello blueluna. You have mentioned being very spiritual, dreams, astral projection, ect. Much of what you speak about has a New Age vibe to it. May I ask you where you learned of these things? Over the years I have heard many speak of being very spiritually minded, and yet they have learned most...

    Questions about Christianity

    Thank you for your question about the two main groups of Christianity. I would like to begin by stating that your understanding falls short of a true understanding of Christianity. The word Christian came into being at the church of Antioch. It simply means " little Christ". This term came into...

    My Favorite Verse from the Quran (so far)

    Question: Can God lie or speak falsehood? If the Holy Bible and the Quran are placed side by side, do they not speak against each other? Does not Jesus state that no man can come to the Father but through Him? You Stat that it is sad that there are those who are intent on maintaining an unholy...

    Culture Clashes

    Please forgive me. I am not an Arab. However. I read your post and as a fellow Christian and brother in Christ I wanted to reach out. I have visited a few other countries who have vastly different cultures than my own. While the differences were noticeable, they quickly dissipated in the midst...

    Pastoral requirements

    I have read and thought about your post and have come to wonder what it is that you were trying to express. Is it a lack of higher education, a lack of oversight, a lack of something else? Many have pointed to 1 Timothy 3 for the qualifications of a pastor. Yet, in your response it appears that...

    Did Jesus Die on The Cross for The Just/Elect/Saved Whose Names Are Written in The Book of Life OR

    Is God just? Is it just to punish someone one for a debt that has been paid? You make a good point with you questions. However, I believe you may be understanding this inaccurately. If you owe 200k on a house and a man comes to town to pay the mortgage for all in the area if they will simply...

    The crusades

    Hello Ray2005, I would like to direct you to Ephesians 6:12. It states: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." This scripture is a reminder that our fight...

    Feeling lost (long post)

    Dearest Lilly, I want you to know that what you are experiencing is not a new experience. Many have and still experience tales like yours. The depression and guilty you feel is also natural. When God created you He created you with a plan for better things in your life. However, sin and the...
