My husband claims to be a Christian man but he follows stuff about so called "twin flames". He believes he has a connection with a coworker. He looks her up on social media all the time. Somehow he thinks that because he cannot keep her out of his mind it is a sign she and him a…
"My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad indeed."- Proverbs 23:15 This verse reminds me that God is not simply looking for outward actions or religious routines. He desires a heart that is willing to seek His wisdom, trust His Word, and walk in obedience. In a…
Hi everyone! I (24M) am experiencing a lot of ecclesial angst in Christian friend groups I operate in. Many of my peers are seeking out a healthier expression of Christian life, but are finding themselves drawn to Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. For context, I grew up i…

The age-old question… I’m attempting to grow closer in my walk with Christ and really begin reading my Bible more. I have an ESV military Bible, Thompson chain KJV, a standard gift Bible KJV, and a NKJV gift Bible - both KJV have been gifted to me, one after I got saved and the…

Hey everyone, I am just wondering, since Joseph has a direct lineage from king David, would it mean he was a prominent person at that time? Thank you in advance for enlightening me 😊
Playthings? Ego boosters? Showing off to other deities? It can't be 'children' or 'pets' because you don't torture your misbehaving* loved ones, especially not for eternity with no chance of redemption. What exactly, according to your worldview, is the purpose of our existence?…
When the bible says salvation is free is it truly free or did paul lie? here's one verse that comes to mind Romans 5:15-16 King James Version sup 15 /sup But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God,…
My husband is extremely addicted to pornography. It has greatly affected our bedroom. No matter what I do to try to spice things up it is never enough. It never has. From the time we started dating he has always had very inappropriate social media activity. Nearly naked to fully…
Ok I discovered some parts of the bible that are really controversial (the slave one and stuff) so I searched for explanation and found it. But when Muslims talk about their controversial holy book verses and they give explanations on why their prophet said that it sounds way to…
I saw in my KJV Bible it says: "My soul shall make her boast in the Lord" so as it's said later on we as the church are the bride of Christ so are all men and women considered females in God's eyes? since I've heard God has no grown folks in heaven we are all gods children?
I remember at the age of 3 my mom doing a bible study with me and explaining that everyone had sinned including me. She then told me that Jesus was the only way I could be forgiven and I told her that I wanted forgiveness so she led me to the Lord. I grew up praying and trying t…

Hello, I am curious what people think. Does he give people thoughts for example? Do you think God would allow that? Does he actively try and stop people from doing, what we would maybe describe as, good things? Would you describe him as an 'enemy'? If so, why and what is he doin…
statistically speaking, that’s probably where they’ll end up. you will be responsible for creating a being who is going to be tortured for eternity. so the only reasonable course of action here is to not have kids. because why risk it? it is the most immoral thing in the world t…
