    Recovering from liking someone of a different belief structure?

    I'd like to ask your opinion on something, by extension of this train of thought in regards to a different, yet similar and related issue.... You said that... summarizing, if I don't heal from this/get this straightened out, I will essentially repeat the same mistakes again and never know my...

    Bargaining for Salvation (and/or other things)...?

    I guess another quick thought I wanted to jot down before I forget is... what you guys told me also reminds me of something I read on a Quora post once, where... especially if you grew up somewhat spoiled, in some cases... becoming an adult is kinda like being raised a princess in a mini...

    Bargaining for Salvation (and/or other things)...?

    Firstly... I just want to say I am relieved at the responses I've gotten, becuase... I dunno what I was expecting, but yesterday, after this thread was made public, I actually felt VERY embarrassed and I was half-tempted to ask one of the admins to please delete it... I guess I just felt like I...

    How does God want us to think?

    I feel like this video is really speaking to me today, and I'd like to share it with everyone on this board. ^^; <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"...

    Bargaining for Salvation (and/or other things)...?

    So... I have been reading the responses to my various other threads, even if I probably won't respond to them for at least a while because I am feeling emotionally drained right now for various reasons, and... I need some time to process some things. But I have reached a tentative conclusion...

    Can Someone Please Help Me Answer This?

    I.... really hope that no one takes offense to what I'm about to say, because... what I am about to say will sound like I am judging God in a way. It is something I'm a little scared to ask due to the fact that I have been snapped at in some places for saying such at worst, not really given a...

    If Jesus Came to Your Front Door, What Would He See if He Came Inside?

    Do you think maybe He might wash the dishes if you asked Him? XD

    Did Mary Magdalene Practice Magic?

    Come to think of it, I was taught long ago that one of the reasons why it is generally frowned upon to do drugs (or even drinking) is because, not only does it damage the body, but because it makes you lose some, or a lot, of self-control and self-awareness... and that might allow a demon to try...

    Did Mary Magdalene Practice Magic?

    Anyone who interacts with me on this board might as well know upfront I have never read the Bible much at all. In a way, yes I'm just thinking out loud... and I am also trying to expand upon some things someone else said in a different thread, and I thought it might be interesting to discuss...

    Can Someone Please Help Me Answer This?

    Somehow, for some reason.... I dunno if it's because I just haven't asked the right people, or maybe it's because I haven't been able to articulate in a clear, coherent way what I'm asking. But... I thought I would try it here and now, now that I have a more organized brain and this seems to be...

    Did Mary Magdalene Practice Magic?

    It has come to my attention today that the reason why Jesus dealt with so many demons and cast demons out of people was because there was so much dabbling in magical arts back in that day. This... is just something I have honestly never thought about or wondered before, but... did Mary...

    If Jesus Came to Your Front Door, What Would He See if He Came Inside?

    This was a point brought up in another thread, and I thought it was interesting/valid/relevant enough to start a new thread/topic about it. Suppose the Savior who died on the cross for our sins came very unexpectedly and knocked on our front door. And... let's just go down that journey of...

    A testimony of demonic oppression

    That is an interesting way to look at things... and something I have rarely/never thought about for a long time. If Jesus were to come and knock on the front door and maybe even ask to look around... what would be here? What would He see? I.... might need to think more carefully about this a...

    A testimony of demonic oppression

    The key thing that scares me in retrospect is that... well, just to be clear, this isn't an issue anymore because I'd say my dad learned the error of his ways and doesn't talk or even seem to THINK like this anymore, buuuut.... 15 years ago or so, my dad basically went through a phase in his...

    A testimony of demonic oppression

    I just thought I'd try talking about this here, because... I feel this might be one of the few places I can talk about it without people automatically assuming I'm crazy or that I'm making it up. (Seriously... there are some ways in which I'm actually astonished and disappointed that even some...

    Is it possible to be greedy for attention?

    I am so sorry here but.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAH I'm sorry I'm sorry it's just the way you said that first line. XD But it is true.... but hey, would you believe that sometimes I have even talked to God while I'm on the toilet? I figure since He designed us with the ability to... go...

    Is it possible to be greedy for attention?

    Yeah... I think sometimes it's easy to think that the door is just temporarily closed when God closes it. It can also make it harder to notice the open window even when it does open. I think though, I've found an open window at this forum. It's very nice to be able to talk about things, and I...

    Is it possible to be greedy for attention?

    Your post reminds me of something that another friend said to me quite a while back, when I was kinda complaining about the type of attention I was getting on social media when I kept complaining about my life and whatever. She was like, "You want your cake but you don't want to hate it."...

    Is it possible to be greedy for attention?

    It's kinda funny you should mention this, because it does head the nail on the head in some things I have been thinking about lately. XD I had a discussion with my aunt on the phone once recently, (an area where both of us could relate, because we were the youngest/last born in both of our...

    Is it possible to be greedy for attention?

    Yeah... one thing I have to keep reminding myself is that celebrities and other famous people aren't actually that lucky. Considering I am a low-key homebody who likes a low-key life and my family especially likes their privacy... I doubt we'd be able to handle it if anyone in our household got...
