I was re-reading the passion narrative in Matthew 27:52-53, which mentions that when Jesus died, the tombs broke open and many holy people were raised to life, later walking into the holy city and appearing to many people. This strikes me as an incredible event, arguably one of…

I've been wondering about something, and I'm genuinely curious if there's research on it. There's been a lot of discussion about rising male loneliness, fewer young people dating, and declining relationship formation. But one factor I rarely see mentioned is the Dobbs decision.…

So, I am a fellow agnostic here, I need an answer and it's, I am afraid that the true God will bring me to hell like one day when I die I might wake up to see a god, could be any god for that matter and he could look down at me and say I will go to hell. And I don't want that,…

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 just finished part 1&2 and am looking forward to starting part 3. However, I feel absolutely terrified and have been struggling to believe I am saved because of the indwelling sin in my heart. I struggle immensely with heart sins like sinful comparison, feelings of competitive…

"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',…

I dont mean offense to any religion, I just had this thought. Everything supernatural we know about any religion happened in the past. For example, Jesus walking on water, Zeus having a demigod kid, Mohommed's revelation, or Thor battling Giants. All these events happened in the…

Is this the best summary of the whole gospel? "And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us."

Us humans we can't all agree on the same thing ever, for example if l said murder is wrong to all 8 billion people l am pretty sure some of them will disagree with me, now my question is if god supposedly knows human nature, then why did he created us knowing that not all humans…

I've been looking into The Master's University because of its emphasis on biblical studies and its connection with John MacArthur, but I'm curious how it's generally viewed from an academic biblical scholarship perspective. I know it's an accredited university and that it requir…

hi ya'll can you tell me about a time when religion felt like you were free? free to think and to choose? because I got to tell you, as someone now identifying as an 'ex-baha'i' I've got to say, for the first time in twenty years I feel able to look and the world clearly and to…

Okay so my whole life I was raised in a religion called "the message" or "branhamism". I have nothing against their beliefs or the people, but theres just something missing. Plus I dont agree with they way they idolized or raised their Preacher up on a pedestal. Ive only recentl…

Hello everyone. Hope you all doing great. I have a question for you all. When you start reading a Bible chapter and run into unfamiliar context, names, or difficult ideas, what do you usually do before continuing?

I know this looks like a stupid question, and it probably is, like “you kind of just figure it out based off of your morals and values…” but I guess I’m just wondering where someone starts? Clearly I didn’t pay enough attention in history class or the news itself. I am looking t…

Since all five of these groups have their own active subreddits, I figure a lot of people who are on this subreddit are not in one of them. And yes, I know that technically no religion is not a "religious" group, but they are counted in religious censuses as their own group. Vie…
