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

    It does different things, but it is always friendly. Sometimes the dream is about it, and sometimes it is just there in the background. I don't even remember the first dream I had about it, it has kind of always been there. It isn't so much that I want a gryphon for a pet, as much as I want...

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

    This is going to sound extremely stupid and I have tried avoiding mentioning it because I know this might not go over well, but... the thing I want is a pet gryphon. I know that sounds like a joke and maybe a little insane, but it is important to me. Pretty much I have been having dreams about...

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

    I didn't know how else to respond. Something very personal and dear to me. It is something that I would rather be assured that I will have rather than not miss it. More on what you said before, I know heaven will be a wonderful place but I need solid confirmation of that I will have what is...

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

    To be honest, yes. I am not sure if it makes a difference, but the thing in question is the reason I am a Christian in the first place. Oh.

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

    Sorry to bump this oldish thread, but does anyone know if this could possibly be a lead? Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Does this mean in general (i.e. heaven included) or is it just an...

    Possible Abscessed Tooth

    I had one of those before and I feel your pain. You are in my prayers.

    Does God Care?

    I am very sorry to hear about how you feel. I am sorry if this is off topic, but I am here if you ever need a friend and remember: someday you will live in a kingdom of people who belived in Christ all across the different centuries.

    Does God Care?

    An apology in advance to everyone if this sounds sacreligious or atheistic. The ninth commandment is to not lie, and I would be committing this sin if I said the opposite of what I am about to say. To answer the title question: no. God does **NOT** care. He does not care about us, our...

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

    For 19 years now there has been something that has been deeply bothering me but I have been too afraid to ask because it is something very personal to me. I am finally ready to ask it because I need closure, despite knowing that hearing the wrong thing could potentially deeply upset me. Are...

    Are all modern English Bible translations based on the King James Version?

    The King James version used the Vulgate (Latin, pretty much the only Bible for centuries), the Septugaint (Greek, commissioned by a Greek Egyptian Pharoah and translated by seventy-two Jewish translators), Textus Receptus (Latin, New Testament) and, silently, older English Bibles. Most, if not...

    The disadvantage of christianity

    I think you got that all wrong about Christians. We have to care about what happens on earth to get our rewards. We aren't sheep, "lazy" or "complacent", we are oppressed and we do have it harder than people of other faiths.

    Theories about Abraham

    I have not yet read the entire Bible but I do know the Torah sections by heart. Every time I read/hear them I think of something new. Over the years I have come up with a few theories regarding Abraham and want to share them with you all to hear what you think. For starters, it is clear that...

    If God came to you in a dream and...

    I would, even though I would be sure that it would be just a regular dream. I have a lot of worrying and would like to know beforehand what could happen.

    Questions about incense

    I enjoy different kinds of fragrances; candles, incense, etc. I am looking into building a home altar and know exactly what I want for it, but I am unsure about what incense to burn. I know that it fundamentally doesn't actually matter what I burn, but I want to have something different than...

    It is a bad idea but I think about it anyway

    Sorry to have wasted everyone's time. I am not qualified to become a monk anyway as most monasteries require you to have been baptised as a Catholic for at least three years, and require a mental examination which I would probably fail due to my severe depression. Probably for the better...

    It is a bad idea but I think about it anyway

    But I have no one to witness to or any way to reach anyone. 30 I am celebate now and I do not see how it would be any different.

    No, but I have no way of reaching someone.

    It is a bad idea but I think about it anyway

    I was thinking of joining a Catholic monastery. I honestly wish I could spread the gospel but have absolutely no way of doing so anyway.

    What is the best way to write a summary of the Bible?

    For a very long time I have wanted to write a detailed summary of the Bible but never really knew how to. I tried reading several on the internet but they always seem to leave a good bit out, even crucial things. I am finally going to start working on it but don't know how to. I am going to be...
