Nobody should be "burned", we do not have the authority to judge or give any sinner the death sentence for such things. Jesus and those he appoints will be the one to execute the wrath of God on the unrepentant sinners at his return. The Old Testament had the death sentence for such unrepentant...

It's 100% OCD. You're exibitingbehaviours and thought patterns of OCD I've noticed. Even by posting multiple times and repeating the same question (which is obsessive desire for certainty), as well as some addictive tendencies, which can be symptomatic of OCD and other conditions OCD is...

I understand transgenderism to be a psychological/neurological condition, and have atheist friends who are such, some who even have told me they themselves recognise it as a condition, and have stated to me "it's not normal" and refuse to have children because they believe it unethical to...

If you're looking for objective evidence for things in the Bible, I could direct you to a few places. I have a playlist dedicated to my fav videos by many well known and excellent apologists and researchers for both OT and NT evidence...

I'm moved to say I'd like to share this info on Tai Chi considering its religious and cultural context, just for consideration before getting into it for people's consciences (which I also share as a former Taijiquan practitioner): Slow forms of dance, however, would likely give the same...

Now, what I'm going to say, probably will meet with heavy disagreement with a few on this forum, and I understand if it does because it's a sensitive subject that has been debated often amongst Christians. However, before I get into that, I should first say my piece on sexuality in general...

As a Millennial (early 30s) in the UK, I can attest to my school days, that teachers actively would teach us "there is no god". I recall when I went to the zoo to learn about animals as a kid, and the teacher said "just because everything looks designed doesn't mean it is, evolution is...

I'm happy it benefits you. :) My prayers are with you.

As I said in the other thread, and I agree with another brother here, not all dreams mean anything ,and especially ones coming from those who are not a part of the Lord's congregation. Islamic dreams and interpretations should not be taken seriously by Christians, as they, according to...

Not all dreams have mystical meaning or are visions. We have to beware of slipping into paganism and witchcraft, looking for "signs and omens". "Let no one be found among you who... practices divination or... interprets omens..." - (Deuteronomy 18:10). Visions from God are unique to just...

I'm a Christian who doesn't believe anyone has gone to Heaven yet, not even the 12 Disciples, as I believe this to be the heresy of Hymenaeus and Philetus (2 Timothy 2:17-18), and that the resurrection doesn't happen until Christ's second Advent, when those in Christ come out of the grave and...

Shalom, nice to see you reaching out. In respects to: May I recommend, though a great majority of Christians are Trinitarian (especially so on this platform) and see Jesus as God Almighty himself, that you go about exploring different Christologies also (in a non-biased way of course)...

Hello Kerim. On your comment: This is a common misconception that Christians are required to believe based on blind faith over reason and evidence. The scriptures actually often advocate against this. Using the word "faith" to mean "believing without evidence" is a modern anachronism of...

Indeed yes. I quoted that scripture in my writing. :)

Similar, yes, I suppose. Though I'd associate natural law with teleological reasoning, over ontological. Teleological is external observation (ie; Intelligent design), whilst ontological is internal and metaphysial, but reasons that the internal observations are evidences that such things must...

As this is the only Christian discussion thread I can post in on this site, I am posting here. I wanted to share my article, of which I have written on the "Ontological Observation of God" for the encouragement of others and to inspire thought. In this article I break down just "what...

True, the original community spirit has been largely lost on the mass scale, and Christianity & church has become a much more "functional" thing, I agree. Sterile, clinical. Though these things are to be expected too, even in the 1st century. It's a part of the sifting process. 1 Corinthians...

I have no reason to hide anything. :) I would have thought all Christians would act/feel the same way. There should be nothing to fear either, I would hope anyway. If one has truth, it will stand up to attack, if one does not have truth then one has to adjust to said truth. The faith is not...

I'm not really familiar. Looking it up, just looks like an innocent kid's cartoon to me? But I was talking about "calling upon spiritual powers", not fiction and entertainment. So I'm not sure what connection you're trying to make between a kid's cartoon and practising magic is... That being...

I forget the exact details now, but there is textual evidence that John was originally written in Aramaic, not Greek. The translation into Greek came later, because it was the most common language spoken in the Roman world, next to Latin. The term "Christ", is a direct translation of...
