    Ai Companion: Yes or No?

    I was going to post this in the what are you watching thread. But it’s so out there I figured it’s a better fit here. At first glance this is really unsettling. But are there use cases when the technology could be helpful? And if so, what would that involve from your perspective? I don’t...

    I really like this girl, but how do I wait?

    Hey brothers and sisters in Christ, 24, male I met a girl at the beginning of this year who I’ve really grown to like, I initially felt the Lord lead me to not rush into things so tried waiting (I knew she liked me too at this point) but someone gossiped to her that ‘I wasn't interested and a...

    Hurt heart

    My question is why would God give me a man who wasn't gentle with my heart. He is a bible believing Christian, very well versed in scripture. I thought someone like that would have the heart of Christ...but he calls me all the names you can think of when he's angry, upset or something goes...

    How to deal with (romantic) loneliness as a Christian?

    OK, so I've posted here about finding a church to go to, and struggling with being a Christian man who isn't that crazy about femininity. In a previous post, (So, I finally found a church. How it's going so far), I vented that one of the sins I struggle the most with is lust. And that lust is...

    Religion vs Relationship

    Religion is based in the teachings of man, In forms and traditions in which they now stand. Their customs, their idols, are what they now serve, And from their procedures they barely will swerve. The writings of man are the bibles they read, While God’s word, the Scriptures, they rarely will...

    Sexual intrusive thoughts about others while in a relationship

    Hey, I've been heavily addicted to porn for 7-8 years, especially BDSM. In January, I told my girlfriend everything (including that I had been chatting with other men as their slave and sent them some stuff about myself). We've been fighting together, and I've been porn-free since then. Until...

    What does it mean to YOU to have a personal relationship with Christ?

    This is a very popular phrase in Christianity: You must have a personal relationship with Jesus. How would you explain this to someone new to Christianity? How do we have a 'personal relationship' with someone we can't see, touch, or hear? What does such a 'relationship' look like? What does...

    How do you evolve, a "fact"?

    Hi there, So my immediate reaction to this idea, was that it's not possible to evolve a fact. I admit that. You can change the context in which it is viewed or how its interpreted, but that fact itself remains the same. I recognise that. Once I recognised that, I started to think: "maybe the...

    The chicken or the egg? Both.

    Hi there, So I have come to the conclusion, that what we understand as the beginning, rests on entering into a relationship. That relationship, under the right circumstances, leads to a stable interaction with the world - from the point of which, what is created in that beginning, can be...

    Girlfriend is desperate for marriage. Not sure though.

    So a little bit of an update to this thread: TLDR: My girlfriend is very attached to me and wants to get married to me. She is in her mid 30's so time is not on her side and she also never had a boyfriend before me. So I think she feels like I am her only hope. I have not been exactly feeling...
