Without simplistic answers such as, "Genesis is meant to be taken literal," how do you reconcile Genesis with Evolution? I have many obstacles preventing me from full fledged Christianity, and this is a prominent one. I am involved with science heavily and I do not see evolution as a...

Please pray for me. I have intuitively felt that God exists for sometime, and was even religious for a number of years. However, many things drove me away. My life has bettered since leaving religion, truthfully. However, I have this tugging in my soul trying to yank be back to faith. But... I...

We are told to humble ourselves. However, isn't this the opposite of humility? Isn't dependence on ourselves, pride? Anyways, recently I've been discovering that God gives grace, but this grace, though undeserved, is given to those who act in a certain manner. One of these manners is...

1) James 4:5 ("Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us), where is James quoting from? 2) How do the double-minded purify their hearts (James 4:8)?

Why does it seem like some Christians seem to imply other Christians have too high of standards when it comes to holiness? It seems like if anyone says, "Yeah, but Christ said this, Paul said that, and I fail to live that way," someone comes along and says, "Yeah, but God knows we're human. It's...

I'm sure many know, I have been having issues regarding my salvation. I'm working on the beginning on the 3rd year of my severe doubting. I've come to the point where I realized something. I do not, to a large degree, care about holiness. Let me clarify myself before you assume too much. I...

I.E. Council of Nicea, Orange, etc. is there a book that has these all compiled into one? I am assuming someone will give me a link to a Catechism book, but I want the actually writings of the Councils themselves. For example: Historic Church Documents at Reformed.org
