I graduated from university ten years ago, does that count LOL?

Long story, but apparently it's his intent to get a genetic test upon the child's birth definitively showing that she's his. He would need to agree to any adoption. He's local, in the same town. I don't know him. I can only hope he will be a good father some day.

I'm a longtime lurker on these forums. I had been seeing a woman since April 2022. I had sex with her and we obviously weren't married. In October she became pregnant. But by Christmas she admitted to sleeping with other people when I was away. I stayed, hoping & praying that the baby could be...

He answered, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept. I thought, ‘Who knows? The Lord may be gracious to me and let the child live.’ But now that he is dead, why should I go on fasting? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”

It seems to me that God the Father is eternal (timeless), uncaused, and exists necessarily. I don't think any of these things can be said of a material body, which are composite things made of matter. Especially if we believe that all matter was created by God from nothing.

I would say the Trinity is akin to a circle cut from a piece of paper. There is a circumference, but also a surface area. They are two distinct concepts. You can plausibly say that a circle is its circumference - the moment you have the circumference, the square area follows by necessity. And...

True, I am more sad than worried. I was genuinely devoted to my career not just as a source of income but also a bit of my identity. They do call it the gilded cage. Golden handcuffs. 24 karat ball and chain. Perhaps one day I will look back and thank God for giving me the impetus to leave a...

As to be expected, they are also prohibiting and travel by sea, air, or rail for unvaccinated passengers. The land borders with the United States also remain closed. Really, it seems as though the only way out of the country is to privately charter a plane or ship. It would not surprise me if...

Thank you everyone, they announced today that the date of suspension will be November 15th.

I mainly read other people's posts on these forums and pray, I rarely post myself. I work for the public service in Canada. In August, the government announced its intention to make COVID vaccination mandatory for all public servants, as well as federally regulated workplaces. All public...

woah, sounds a lot like me. I have a house and career but I feel very distant from others. When dating, I generally find people to borderline harassing me over social media and I'm like... no, Ima just hide in my house now

Probably the original Operation Flashpoint.

For casual wear, I tend to go with a black t-shirt and dark blue jeans (no fading...) I rarely deviate from this, save when hot summer days warrant wearing shorts. It's so generic. I'm not sure if the people at work have noticed that I've worn the same outfit every day for years. For something...

Hmmmmmmm?

What interactions did Paul have with the original twelve disciples of Christ? I know there was the incident at Antioch, but I'm looking for additional interactions/disputes with "the Twelve" (a term which Paul appears to use to describe the original apostles who knew Jesus personally). There...

Especially if they don't deserve it...

I'm just looking for some perspective and new ideas before I present an argument to another group of people. In the eleventh chapter of Genesis, we see God introduce a multitude of languages to humanity in an effort to disrupt the construction of what is now called the Tower of Babel. Taking...

To start off, I am not referring to the concept of Hebrew debt slavery. I would like to address this idea of the enslavement of foreigners in the Old Testament, most notably the book of Leviticus, and then just take a glance at some excerpts from the New Testament, particularly a few verses from...

What implications does the story of the rich man and Lazarus have for the debate between proponents of free will and predestination? I am referring specifically to the latter part of the chapter, Luke 16:27-31 - “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family...

Hi. I was recently browsing around a certain website and came across a question regarding a country's military, subjects about warfare etc. Eventually, the discussion turned to Romans 13, the chapter supposedly about obeying temporal authorities. However, this person said: "It is talking...
