Re: Please pray to support my faith..

Oh wow! I had forgotten that I posted this! About the Shack, I had read that and that was sorta what messed me up haha. I just had trouble grasping who God was or how things worked.. I dunno. After some time, my girlfriend and I worked together with getting rid of sin and that has helped a lot. One ...

Re: How to have a spiritual experience?

Please pray to support my faith..

Alright, so I won't go into huge detail.. but my faith has hit some rocky road. I still and always will believe in God.. I've just lost touch with him and have some grudges and kept thinking about stuff that made me upset with him. I can't figure out how a relationship is supposed to work with him a...

Re: Lust and sin

"But I don't get it. Is lust just inherently evil? How?" Because it detracts from what could be a much more beautiful situation in a human life. Rather than seeing women and our bodies as objects for pleasure, we can direct our attention on real loving relationships where sexuality has a m...

Re: BLEH What to do about something like this?

His latest: "One website is offering $10,000 to anyone who can square the conflicting accounts of the events directly following the resurrection. Of course, it can't be done, because they're completely opposed to one another..." Any articles you know of that explain the problem and have a ...
