    Did this Archbishop's statement come out wrong?

    www.dailywire.com/news/anglican-leader-says-opening-of-lords-prayer-is-problematic-for-some An archbishop of the Church of England declared that "I know the word ‘father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and for all of us who have...

    Here is a very believable near death experience testament

    While I am skeptical of NDEs (especially that "Heaven Is For Real" tripe), I do believe in some. One of the few I believe was from that former Buddhist who saw Buddha in Hell and converted to Christianity when he came back.

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    If it does come back to you I would love to hear it. Will it directly answer rather or not I will have the gryphon?

    How do we help Christianity?

    Christianity has always been the world's punching bag and it is not necessarily the unbelievers' faults either. I thought about why people hate us and I came up with some reasons, most of which we are not responsible for. I think the biggest reasons why people look down on Christianity are...

    An open letter to God

    I had a few more things to say that I did not add because my initial post was getting long enough. For anyone curious, I would have mentioned years of abuse I suffered, my professional strugfles and being lonely. Part of the reason I did not add them was because I did not want this to sound like...

    An open letter to God

    I heard that it is therapeutic to write a letter to someone and never send it though I am doing the opposite by writing something that I intend for the person it is for to see. Since I cannot physically send a letter to God I felt that this was the best place to put this. I feel like a lot of...

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    I know. And as unlikely as it is, I am hoping someday God will do something for me. You are welcome. What did it inspire in you?

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    In a way I am and I honestly hope that this is what helps me finally trust him. However that is going to require confirmation. There is very little God could do for me on earth at this point and it is completely unlikely he will do any of those things while I am here on earth.

    A penny for your thoughts...

    While I like it when clergy are down to earth, approachable and sometimes worldly in all the right ways, I feel like religion should be treated with seriousness. Nothing wrong with maybe a bit of humor here and there but clergy should not turn sermons into their own stand up one man shows.

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    In that case should I be looking for verses that outright support what I am looking for?

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    I hope I am not annoying anyone by constantly posting in this thread and I am sorry if I am. Please underatand that this is important to me because my relationship with God and is essentially riding on this. Lately I have been thinking about our inheritances in Heaven and wondering if it could...

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    Having thought about it, all I would need is to know that I will have it if I believe I will, even if blindly.

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    This is hard to answer. My trust for God has been broken several times yet if somehow I knew blind faith would be enough to get him to create it for me, that would be enough. Yet I often overthink things and would need something solid. I suppose it depends.

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    I would like that very much. Fortunately, I know he can do it. Part of the reason I wonder if he will is because obviously animals have been created in heaven (the flaming horses that took Elijah to heaven, for example). The only question I have is rather or not he will. I knew it was too good...

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    Thank you very much for your kind words. Deep down I know God is not responsible for the bad things in my life, but at the same time i feel like he does not care. You give a good reason to come to God, but as i said I feel like he just doesn't like me. Oddly, sometimes I feel as if God sent...

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    Call me crazy, but I refuse to let this go because of how important it is to me. I have gathered a few Bible verses that I think my pertain to my situation and I want to know what everyone else thinks? I already got a vwry satisfying answer about Romans 8:32 but if anyone else has more to say...

    Illegal and unsafe route to safety

    I am sorry you feel this way. People had valid reasons to believe you were low-key asking for money as this kind of thing happens all the time on the internet. If you ever feel like sharing again, feel free to because as Christians we should be able to talk to each other about our problems. This...

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    A lot of people who God neither protected me from or punished. A lot of things that I have mentioned before. Like I said, God never protected me or helped me with anything. All the same God does have some power to intervene otherwise Jesus would have died before he was incarnated or would not...
