    In Heaven we have a choice: the old Gospel (those before us) or the new Gospel (those after us)?

    Hi there, So I realised that in Heaven, we enjoy the Gospel, more than we enjoy Heaven and I knew that when we get to the end of our life, we get a choice (we had a choice before we were born, we have a choice in life - to believe in Jesus - and we get a choice in death, where our soul will...

    We don't need new theology, we need to show the love we've already been shown

What I learned was, that God takes what He has already created and does something amazing with it. How? He takes what has already known love (as part of a family...

    Frustrated at the Dating Pool I’m in

    I’m really not attracted to any of the men who want to date me. It’s pretty much over since I’m 44 and the only guys who will date me are the old guys, the divorced, or the never-married such as myself. At the same time, I’m losing my looks as well. Right now I’m forcing myself to talk to a...

    Bible reading teens. Did you know Jesus cussed ? (clarify)

    Not all translations show the vulgar language of the New Testament and of the Old Testament - so it may be quite a surprise to find out. Jesus was not all 'nicey-nice' as some of us thought when we were young (or even older?). Oh - NEVER sinfully, never unrighteously, never like people do...

    Does God want me to be single by not sending any men with whom I can connect?

    Looking back, I realize that I discounted some good men. But at the time, I did not have feelings for them. I wanted to have feelings for them, but the feelings weren't there. I even cried one time because this one guy was great but I just couldn't like him. I am not gay--I have had crushes...

    Genesis 1

    Hi everyone, I am embarrassed to ask this but I am having problems understanding Genesis 1. Would someone please clarify it for me? On the first day, God created light. However, on the fourth day, God created the sun, the moon, and the stars. Would light not be the sun? I am really...

    If a lesser Evolution is enough, does the greater Evolution ever appear?

    Hi there, So this thread will relate a little to the mastery of Evolution and a little to the forgetting of Evolution: depending on how you handled it. The premise is this: if a lesser Evolution is enough, does the greater Evolution ever appear? It is little bit like asking if two donkeys are...

    The Old Church

    Yesterday, I received notice that the building where my husband and I had first met, and where our relationship first began 47 years ago, had gone up in flames overnight. It had begun as a church building in 1885, but that church fellowship apparently sold it to the University of Akron in 1952...

    Is The Earth Young or Old

    When I became a Christian I believed in a very old Earth, billions of years etc. But eventually I had to decide whether the Bible was right or wrong. Whether Jesus was wrong when He said Adam and Eve were made in the beginning. Jesus believed in the Old Testament in its entirety and once I had...
