Do you think Trump has an heir apparent, or is it one of those things where no one in Washington dares talk about it for fear of reminding Trump of his mortality/term limits? I know the obvious answer is Vance, but Vance does not wield the same kind of fear and influence that Tr…
I was a baptized Christian for years then I converted to Islam. I have since reverted back to Jesus and truly believe he will raise me up on the last day due to his death and resurrection. I have recently discovered hebrews 6:4, which talks about a person leaving and not being a…
“Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?’“ 2 Peter 3:9 ”The Lord is not slow in keeping…
Most of what I remember about my early political education wrt the US and war, was spent attempting to justify most of the shit our military did. Where that wasn't applicable, we were taught to consider the feelings of individuals in the US military in unjust interventions/wars…
By grace, when ten thousand ages have passed, I shall love You no less than on the first day I beheld Your face. By grace, when eternity has scarcely begun, I shall still be telling the same story. By grace I was chosen. By grace I was redeemed. By grace I was kept. By grace I w…
Why are pastoral succession plans rare in presbyterian churches? Even in large churches with multiple associate pastors the default succession plan is to form a search committee that focuses on finding a new pastor from outside of the church. Does anyone have any experience with…
Hi everyone, I’m a Political Science student currently working on my final dissertation on populist leaders. I’m particularly interested in understanding the reasons behind public support for them, especially in contexts where these leaders display authoritarian tendencies or ch…
Hi, I’m a gay ICU nurse. I’ve spent the last couple of years guiding people to the other side. I’ve witnessed traumatic death and horrific suffering in the name of religion (not necessarily Christianity). I’ve thought a lot about the “abomination” that homosexuality is, but I wa…
Systematic theology strives to give an orderly, coherent account of Scripture, such that the entire system of belief could potentially be explained, so to speak, in a power point presentation of sufficient length. And all the points in all the slides would be seen to connect and…
I won't go into the details because some of the things that were said were so hateful and explicit that I don't even want to repeat them. One person was told to my brother to kill themselves, along with other terrible insults. Reading it just brought me down. It made me ask myse…
I've been thinking about this from a Christian perspective and would like to hear what others think. When I look at culture today, I see more and more dark symbolism being used in entertainment, music, movies, award shows, and even worldwide public events. Some people say it's j…
If you want, you can just share your thoughts on the question in the title. Context and my line of thought leading me to ask this question is below. Sorry, it's a tad long. For the last 6 months or so, I have been enjoying good conversations about the doctrine of inerrancy with…
From Crawford Young’s The Postcolonial State in Africa. He was a Political Science professor at UW Madison so I thought it was appopriate for the subreddit. I’m not a social scientist but I’ve been finding this book extremely informative about the development of Africa and think…
Please be kind/gentle.. and bear with me, this is LONG. So back in April I interviewed for a job at my church. The church we go to I would consider a mini *mega church*. Like the music is a concert every Sunday (which we enjoy the music, that’s what has kept us there the longest…

Hello. I come to you as an explorer of christianity and faith. With no background knowledge at all.Coming from a secular country and a secular family. I’m trying to understand exactly what is meant by receiving the gift of gods grace? I’ve read several articles on it, but it’s n…
So back story I’ve been a Christian for a couple years have led Bible studies the whole nine, tonight I slept with a guy like fully. And I know God will forgive me for my sins but tbh I feel like my whole faith has been a façade. A couple night before I thought if I ever did thi…
Do you think Adam and Eve would have still sinned? (I know some people debate if the serpent in the garden is satan or not.) Do you think god would have still ended up sending Jesus? I know this is purely hypothetical. I guess what I'm wondering is what people think towards how…
My son is wayward. He’s not atheist but his faith in God is wavering. Sometimes he believes sometimes he doesn’t. It’s been something I’ve been praying on for a while. Today me and my son had a good conversation with me and he told me he just doesn’t believe in God. Then I asked…
