I’m a fairly devout Muslim raised in an Islamic background I think a lot of people who attack Islam aren't fully educated on it, but I wont pretend that I am 100% solid in my faith. I spend a lot of time wrestling with doubts There are issues in Islam that I feel Christianity do…

I grew up in the LDS religion. It was my understanding that salvation was earned. If I did all I could, then God would accept me into the highest kingdom of heaven. It was all arbitrary rules (like not drinking coffee, not showing shoulders) so I went through the motions without…

Someone on YouTube called me an "Aleluyo" today, which for context is what they call people in Spain (and other Spanish speaking places) who speaks about God "way too much" and it made me giddy and proud. I know pride isn't good though this guy made the comment in a derrogatory…

As you can see from my flair, I'm a credobaptist. My intention in posting this isn't as a gotcha, but rather genuine curiosity for my paedobaptist brothers and sisters in Christ. From my understanding, most of the (reformed) paedobaptist understanding of the permissibility of ho…

I grew up in a Christian Orthodox country that’s mostly very secular and while everyone called themselves Christian, most people were not very observant, so if you mentioned Jesus or the Bible in casual conversation, people would look at you like you had 7 heads. I was never bap…

I just can’t get my head around the idea of experiencing pain with no end. Not for an hour, a year, or a thousand years - but eternity. I’m not saying that to question God. I know hell wasn’t created for us, but the thought of eternal suffering is genuinely terrifying to compreh…

Tonight, I watched a Youtube video where a woman who went to hell and came back, had something to tell us, the people who are unsaved and who are already saved. Which was this with the title: I Went to Hell as a Christian for ONE SIN! [Returned to Warn Everyone] (By the channel:…

I don’t know what to do. I’ve read stories in this subreddit for hours and hours and I thought they helped me but I haven’t changed. I’m worse than lukewarm. I’m either ecstatic about god or I act like a literal demon. I look in the mirror and all I see is a monster. I watch por…

"For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy." If the unbelieving spouse and children of the marriage are both classed as 'holy',…

Okay guys. I really seriously want to quit. God delivered me from vaping about a year or 2 ago and I went right back. I’m throwing it away and never want to look back. It’s going to be tough because I live with my sister who always has a vape with her and I will hit it if I get…
