Hello, I've been trying to look into the most appropriate Bible for both accuracy and meaning. But find the KJV is laid out the best but not as accurate. I like it's number layout etc. The NIV is too lengthy and cheap in layout for me. The ESV is a nice size and nice content explanation etc, but...

I was wondering, many people say you cannot lose salvation except from apostasy. So does that definitely mean a cigarette, a drink, or other, after becoming a Christian, is still forgiven? Definitely. Is this agreed? As some say obedience is key and others do not? Facts? Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone else thinks that all this has no point except to be better off in heaven after death. As every dream or effort seems to have a selfish connection no matter what. Unless your a travelling healer preacher.

Sorry, but I keep going in circles with my opinion on the use of the law. 1) Christ saves. 2) LAW does not. 3) Christ makes us righteous to God. 4) the law teaches benefits of tithing etc. 5) following the LAW is wrong. 5) Christ said to give freely (tithing similar). 6) Jesus "do onto others...

Hello, I was wondering what the different types of Bible were available. Also I am wondering if anyone has seen or heard about a compacted, reduced version for reference, e,g, Chronicles- with all the names left out and the messages kept etc. For quick reference and brain refreshing etc that's...

Hi, I thought I would ask what ways people remember the Bible. I ask because I'm quite forgetful, even after I've just read something. I can't remember the words of scripture. Mostly just the message or point I have interpreted. But I haven't been able to remember which book if the Bible I read...

Hello. I have a bit of an issue when I choose to give money away. I felt like giving some money to two groups, but then the church said they're buying a new building. They didn't ask for donations. But nearly every time I think of giving money away, I feel, oh hang on, should I just give to the...

Hello. I'm a Christian and single and I often feel I'm too "soft" to even get a date. Too nice, too reserved etc. Have you felt this way and how do you deal with it without becoming more selfish? Thanks.

Hello. I'm trying to find music that's of a certain type of feeling/sound. To some this may seem strange. I would like to know if anyone knows either songs or instrumentals that are old or new with a really big or emotional feel etc. As an example, ennui morricone music, 70's driven rock like...

It's probably a daft question, but when are we married according to the Bible. Is it through ceremony, sexual activity, or when a born or unborn child is created. I ask because the Bible says you become one flesh, potentially during conception.

Hello, if it's OK, I'd like to ask for prayer on the path god has for me, to be at least a little more obvious and that I receive and accept the strength to follow and stay on the path. In Jesus name amen. Thank you all and God bless.

Hi, I suppose I'm like most people in some ways. I get very frustrated and bored of not having much to do in a purposeful way. And anything I try to do as a hobby or project doesn't has never worked out. I smoke, watch rubbish and play console games. I live with smokers and God hasn't given me...

Hello, I was thinking about what "Paul" said, about don't have idolatry, drunkenness, immorality etc. Looking at drunkenness and "wavering faith". I thought what is not in alignment as a Christian in regard to types of Addiction. Cigarettes are an addiction. Giving them up is hard. But is it...

Hello, I would very much appreciate a prayer for my prayer issues to be resolved. When I pray, and pray in my thoughts, their is an interruption saying no. Like turrets out loud, but in thought, prayer instead. God bless you all in Jesus name amen.

I was wondering what people thought and what their experiences of things they have kept & / or thrown away for Christian reasons. And why did you keep/throw away?

At the moment I feel sad. I know I've done the right thing by giving up something. But now I feel giving up a long-standing hobby that I liked, has removed the thing I like. What will I ever like anymore. I know people will god will fill my life. But will I always feel it is something I'm doing...

I have a major mental conflicting opinionative battle. I feel my conscience /god is telling me to give up martial arts because if I do it, I condone as an image to others, it's OK to do combat for fun. Even though the martial arts I do is quite passive. My teacher says there's nothing wrong...

Hello, someone mentioned the fruit of us, in another thread. And I thought, what is the fruit. Is my fruit production, faith in me for god, alone. Do we follow a feeling of conscience to grow faith, or do we not wait and just do anything we have a good idea about for others. Should we wait or...
