Youthfulness is no problem -"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity" (1 Tim 4:12) And even the young Jeremiah was scared when he got the call from God -"Lord i'm no good at speaking, i'm...

Right from the beginning, God gave the go-ahead to eat anything we liked with commonsense cooking guidelines- "Everything that lives and moves will be food for you.

(eternalarcadia;32661) ..I feel though recently that I truly am developing something with God. My fear though, is that sin will trap me again... At least you're putting up a fight like a man and coming out for each round instead of just sitting on your stool in your corner..Others have gone the...

LittleLight quote -I have prayed that God would help me discern the truth and that he would move my husband to be acceptable to removing our child from the school if that was true.

Jesus changed at least 120 gallons of water to wine, and it was also served at the last supper, then he told his disciples that the next time he drinks it will be with them in heaven, so there's nothing wrong with a tipple as long as its not abused..As for caffeine, the Bible says nothing at all...

To continue on the 'ordinary' theme, Jesus wasn't much to look at -"He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him" (Isaiah 53:2) And Paul was nothing to write home about - "For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful, but his...

(BearingChristaHammer;31635) I've always thought if Jesus were to come today as for the first time, he'd probably have His disciples round him up a beater junk car to go preach the Kingdom of God to the world.. Jesus in a car? Never! I doubt if he'd want to foul up the atmosphere and kill...

In fact informal 'home groups' that meet up in each others homes are like little churches and can be just as good if not better, there's a cosiness and relaxed intimacy about a dozen people in somebody's room discussing Bible passages by candlelight over cups of tea..In fact that's how it all...

CHARLIE by MickCharlie hated God.Many years ago in his teens he'd been neutral, but as the years passed he'd looked at all the pain and suffering and destruction in the world and slowly decided he'd be an atheist because there couldn't be a God to let such things happen, and he threw himself...

(lilzachjazz;31451) I mean why would a good, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent God allow bad things to happen, such as the death of countless innocent babies, the murder of six million Jews, torture, illness, pain and suffering, poverty, despair? God himself doesn't abort babies or herd...

(Super Kal;31322) I recently started going back to church, and now I don't really know how I survived earlier in life when I didn't go. I wish I could find such a good uplifting church myself, but in the meantime I'm quite happy to go it alone.Let's not forget that Jesus is uplifting whether we...

A question that comes up now and again in discussions etc is-"what is the definition of a 'Christian'?My answer is simple, a Christian is a WINNER..Jesus said - "I've beaten the world" (John 16:33)and we join him on the winning side-"Who is it that beats the world? Only he who believes Jesus is...

(Kimshi42;30845) What is the difference between Reading vs. Studying the bible? How do you study the bible? By which methods? Reading and studying are basically the same thing, but I don't like the word "study" at all because it implies the word of God is difficult to understand.Paul had the...
