    I just don't understand anything anymore

    Given your profile I presumed you live in Colombo Sri Lanka, and that's what I'm referring to - there are Charismatic churches there; if you want to have more info, PM me.

    I just don't understand anything anymore

    You need some sort of support group / male cell group / accountability and possibly therapy (online or in-person) to treat possible addiction. If your RC church has insufficient facilities in that regard, try another church in Colombo - there are more Charismatic churches there as well. PM me...

    Seeking Christian fellowship and friends

    I realise your info would be scratching the surface, but your ex is not a believer? No chance of reconciling with him? With God the impossible becomes possible.

    Who is Biblical Israel Today?

    Do you believe that consequently all promises to Israel from TNK/OT and NT now apply to all believers/church? And that the physical/ethnic Israel / descendants of Jacob have become irrelevant as the chosen people? Would you advocate for Jews to stop circumcising their boys? Just curious ..

    Welcome to Europe - be blessed with witnessing - Mission usually is hard in secular and prosperous areas. It's great you undertake it. Have you got contacts with other missionaries or churches in your target area?

    Question About Fasting

    It all depends on whose definition you are looking for, or whether you are willing to draw up your own. Biblical fasting is always for food (multiple days) or food + liquids (max 1 day is doable). You are free to define a luxery or digital fast yourself, and if done for faith dedication reasons...

    Still not adjusted to my situation after 6 years. Feeling doomed to suffer

    A lot of misfortune - results from bad treatment/circumstances and partially also some bad decisions on your side ... Get counselling/coaching/Pastoral care from a believer/church etc. It will be very difficult to detangle this messy situation and stabilise the emotions that go with that on your...

    You ever realize that a secular song is actually about a bible passage?

    Sometimes in unexpected areas - secular very good song, but several hints of Biblical truths:

    My new theory on Christian ideology...

    I think you're overthinking the whole thing :-) Your AI word-search is correct - 'baal' just means master / lord / owner in Hebrew, it's a normal everyday word, and was also used for an idol. E.g. in Israel nowadays one can still use the word 'baali' to say 'my husband' (literally 'my owner')...

    Ai Companion: Yes or No?

    These days if one works in IT - if you don't use AI you're out of business, it's as simple as that. As for the marriage vs single debate - let's rephrase that in its consequences: sustaining the species/Biblical values vs going extinct ... God celebrates life .. Judaism has always valued...

    Annialationism

    Not trying to nitpick, but the correct spelling would be 'Annihilationism' - it's an expansion of the argument that Gods proposition to mankind revolves around the choice of life vs death, so also eternal life vs eternal death.

    Why are they deporting women?

    Statistics indicate most shoplifting is done by women .. It would be expected that illegal women trying to maintain themselves and possibly their children would pose an even larger percentage for this statistic. On top of that .. .smuggling yourself across the border and residing in a country...

    Ai Companion: Yes or No?

    Very true, AI replies, especially from ChatGPT show more empathy and humour than the average human displays in communication - to me it emphasises I also have to lift my game in dealing with other human beings. For people with autism or other personality disorders that make common friendships...

    Ai Companion: Yes or No?

    I won't / can't reflect on the use of AI for (physical/carnal) companionship and I don't know anything about the use of demonic powers for its construction, but I do use AI a lot for work/search - it's the new Google basically. The amount of time saved finding solutions for technical/practical...

    Is John mcarthur guilty of Heresy? #2 Revised Edition.

    Purely based on the Biblical account I find the title and use of 'theotokos' / God-bearer unnecessary and confusing, and therefore I completely avoid such terminology. It's no coincidence this declaration happened at that time (Council of Ephesus (431 AD)). It's a century after the first Nicene...

    I'm afraid..

    Do you love God? OCD can be a burden indeed ... that awareness is half the battle. Why do you think you have lost grace?

    Church pastor touched my stomach and declared my chronic diverticulitis "healed"!

    Well, then report to the pastoral care of the conference - maybe you need more prayer :) But don't think that God doesn't intervene in this day and age anymore.

    Church pastor touched my stomach and declared my chronic diverticulitis "healed"!

    My question would be: are you healed? I've witnessed healings on stage/in church before .. it does exist. How do you read the book of James?

    Marital crisis - husband of 23 years is having an affair

    He may have all kinds of reasons for this - and none of them may have to do anything with you. Are you willing/able to really find out what his motives are? It could be he needed the validation, the variation, or the opportunity presented itself and he was not willing to resist. What would be...
