Who are you talking to in this post? How can we pray for you?

James is explaining some key elements in the new religion that came to be known as Christianity. Your anti-denomination hostility makes no impact on me. I sit on chairs, I do not sit on pews, nor do I belong to any denomination. Your attacks on the words “Christian” and “Christianity” divide...

So the solution to social problems is to kill the people causing the problem, even if they are Christians killing Christians?

There is no biblical justification for followers of Jesus to harm or kill fellow followers of Jesus. Nor to kill anyone else.

I relate to your situation. I was bullied a lot when I was a teen, got in a fist fight at lunch every day in junior high, teachers did nothing about it, so my dad enrolled me in judo lessons at the YMCA. People quit picking fights with me. I do think you should forgive everyone who bullied you...

I love dogs exceedingly. I had a pitbull terrier who was my beloved daughter. She delighted my wife and I with her sweetness and joy. I thank God daily for creating dogs and cats, but especially dogs. Dogs seem to have spiritual qualities surpassing many humans, the canine capabilities of love...

I’m sorry to be a party pooper, but I hate fireworks, both public displays and individual use. They glamorize bombs and rockets that kill civilians, destroy homes, poison the landscape, and cause incredible suffering. Fireworks pollute the air and terrify dogs, cats, birds, and other...

Richard Aberdeen said: Be not deceived, for the word "Christianity" is not anywhere in the Bible. And there is zero historical or other evidence that Jesus is the founder of either Christianity or any other religion. ———-—————————————— Then why did Jesus give so many precise instructions...

This is a prayer section of a Christian forum. Christians do not use demonic tactics, thus do not talk to psychics or mediums or angels. I will talk to God about your sister and your own troubled heart. Expect blessings to flow down from heaven.

You need to read 1 John again, paying attention to who “we” refers to. It refers to John and all born again believers.

Yes, I am aware of that false teaching that those who are born again cannot ever sin. It’s ridiculous and unbiblical. I will not be “taken” in by such holier than thou nonsense. 1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Why should it matter to you what sins I may struggle against? What sins do you struggle against? If you ask “what is sin?”, it is hard for me to believe you ever read the Bible or ever went to church. Your smiling, tongue extended party balloon avatar tells me much about your attitude toward...

Sorry about your emotional struggles. Famous Bible teachers have suffered from similar afflictions. Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, owned more than thirty books on mental health. He read about depression, wrote about depression, and suffered from depression. Spurgeon’s letters...

First, you want me to tell you what sins I struggle against. I replied you go first, meaning you go ahead and tell me what sins you struggle against. Now you want me to tell you what sin is? This is mysterious to you? Have you ever read the Bible or gone to church?

Yes, many churches are now liberal, woke, and not preaching the gospel.

You go first. Or are you perfect and never sin? Every time we sin, we can go to God, confess the sin, and be forgiven and cleansed from all unrighteousness. This is basic Christianity. Should not be mysterious.

Just what I needed to hear today. Thanks!

I have come to associate thunder with God’s anger with sinful people and government leaders. I used to dream about tornadoes (negative forces in my life) and suddenly coming close to lions (personal problems) in my backyard.

I can only say, be careful what games you play before going to sleep at night! And maybe stop bowling so much!

We might still sin, but the sin is not automatically forgiven and washed away. That idea leads to carnal libertine behavior. We need to confess each sin and struggle to stop sinning. I John 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess...
