    He's gone now. :( i'm not sure if this thread should be closed or re-tagged, but thanks for all the prayers.

    Someone's dying

    in my extended family. I'm not completely certain he or his family believe in prayer, but I'm sure they would appreciate it. :(

    "Your will be done"

    If you find that whenever you try to pray, all you want to say to God is, "Your will be done," do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing? Who said the only two kinds of people in the world are those who say this to God and those to whom God says it? Shouldn't there be some people in both...

    How do you know if you meet God?

    What's her name? In what part of China did this happen, and when? Has she witnessed elsewhere (besides YouTube)? What are their names? Where are they from? Did you find the right url? What was it like, if you don't mind sharing? I don't recall older posts about it, but I may have missed or...

    How do you know if you meet God?

    @Dragon, does the absence of any one of those disqualify any experience? Some theists I've known (or known of), including Christians, who have claimed to have met God have said their experiences and the messages they received were of a private nature. And I remember a story by one visionary...

    How do you know if you meet God?

    @Carl, no, no, no, and no. The second question is probably the most slippery, since the Council of Nicaea decided which books to include. Still, no. If I understand where you're coming from, you're of the opinion that one who hears God's voice will have no doubt that it's God's voice. Thus any...

    Cat Foster Homes

    I made this for RileyG and friend of but anyone else, feel free to join. Have you considered fostering cats/kittens? I'm not sure about Canada, but the USA has far too many state shelter cats and strays per foster home and, last I heard, only seven 24-hour kitten nurseries nationwide. Just to...

    All souls belong to God (Ezekiel 18:4)

    I forgot the NT citation, John 5:22. Sorry!

    All souls belong to God (Ezekiel 18:4)

    That God owns all the souls as an author owns all his characters. Thus, no one else can have them unless he chooses to give or perhaps to license them. @Maria, I meant I thought one of the conditions must be true, not both. Also, in the New Testament, Jesus says Jehovah doesn't judge anyone...

    All souls belong to God (Ezekiel 18:4)

    If this means what I think it means, then it seems to me that either: 1. Ezekiel was deceived (unfortunately for one of my favorite Old Testament moments :( ) OR 2. any entity telling you to that God wants you to commit your soul to it (or to another entity) is not to be trusted, since your...

    How do you know if you meet God?

    Some visionaries have said that if you encounter God or receive a message from God, there will simply be no doubt. But many have said that one must learn to recognize God's voice, appearance, etc., to avoid deception by devious spirits or even by oneself. If you encounter an entity claiming to...

    Friendship & Fellowship

    Speaking of people I haven't heard from, does anyone know what happened to Jonaitis? Last I heard, his father had gone missing. That was half a year ago. I hope he's okay. :(

    Friendship & Fellowship

    I didn't know he left. Is he on vacation? Is that why I haven't heard from him?
