Hi everyone, I’m not here to argue or to troll. I’m genuinely trying to figure out whether Christianity is true. At the moment, I would say that I want Christianity to be true, and I probably lean toward believing that God exists. The complexity of the universe, the apparent fin…

Hello everyone I'm reading and thinking about bible these days and would liek to ask this as a genuine question. Jesus commands us to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us, and forgive others. But I'm struggling to understand what that looks like internally. I did pr…

Recently, I have been into abharamic religion and I cannot comprehend this belief. I think it's due to my Hinduism and Buddhism background. But, you guys can guide me if there's something I am missing. Christians believe in repenting to God, having faith in god, living by his wo…

I’ve heard a lot of people say “God doesn’t want a bunch of robots that have to worship him. God wants people to freely love God & that wouldn’t be possible if they couldn’t also choose to commit horrific evils”. But that doesn’t make any sense, because a child can freely love h…

One of my kind pastors bought me a copy of the ESV journaling study bible. We are reading through Scripture with a group of men in the church. I have never been one to take notes in my Bible. Always been too intimidated (I know, I know, it is what it is). What system do you use…

Hi, non-Reformed( Orthodox to be more precise ) here, but I always appreciated the Reformed intellectual tradition and wanted to ask a question. Although I was born into a nominally Christian family, I came to faith only last year so excuse me if I lack depth in the academical a…

There are many good Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Taoists/Confucianists, even Muslims in this world. I always struggled with the idea that all these people would go to a hell just because they did not believe in the "correct" religion within their lifetimes. It's not co…

I'm trying to understand the different Christian interpretations of Noah's Flood, especially from people who take the Bible seriously. On a plain reading, Genesis seems to describe a worldwide flood. It repeatedly says things like "all the earth," "all flesh," and "all the high…
