there's not a month that pass without me feeling so down - to the point where i just cry my eyes out and feeling really worthless and doesn't have anything to live for. sometimes i feel so blessed but at the moment i feel like it was all just a lie. it's like i really have no friends, no one cares.

I know God cares and He's there but most of the time I feel like He doesn't really listen to me. But He answers other people's prayer but I feel like I'm being ignored. I mean, just typing this is making me cry already. I know some young people in the church that live a "double life" you know - the type where they do the same thing as the world does, but they're still happy and blessed and all. I'm 22 and I don't understand why I have to go through so much crap like these? I have no friends at church not one, and it's really pulling me down. This sucks.

Not really a question, but I want to know if there's other people feeling the same thing as I do?

I am 14 years old and am interested in converting to catholicism (from christianity even though its spelled wrong). Is it possible for a 14-year old to convert with parents permission. Also, are the classes mandatory?

I am a Christian, I bought a Halloween costume for my 20 month old and planned to take her trick-or-treating next week. She is my first and only child and I'm really looking forward to it. I don't celebrate evil, I just thought it would be something fun for her and I to do together. But being a Christian, am I wrong? Thankyou

insanity is repeating the same action over and over again expecting a different result-

Do people really believe that the members of the Baptist Church in Topeka,Kansas are really Christian?
When Atheists see something like this do they think that all Christians are this crazy and that's why they ridicule us?
As a Christian I'm not afraid to take a stand and say that these people are not Christian but something else altogether.
And that something would be more akin to the devils advocate.
Wouldn't you agree?

I am christian- knowing that:

If you believe the bible word for word what about the passage in which Jesus tells you to cut off your hand if it causes you to sin/jab out your eye if it causes you to sin? Why are you not all handless blind people?

I know this sounds rude, but I cannot find another to way to word it. I just dont see how you can believe the bible word for word, literally and more metaphorically.

If any one out there speaks Italian then please help. My family has a strong Italian back-round and my older sister's boyfriend thought it would be romantic to write her a love poem in Italian for their anniversary. I said I would help him but we're hitting a lot of road blocks! So could someone please translate (and these are his words NOT MINE)
"I will love you for all eternity
I will cherish you for all my days
As long as walk this earth
My beloved you will be."

Thanks for me and him!

How about we avoid semantics. Are sinners going to burn forever in hell? The Bible seems clear they will so why do some "Christians" teach there is no Hell? For my purposes lets assume Hell refers to a place of punishment and fire.

Sinners are cast into an everlasting fire.

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Everlasting punishment for sinners.

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

If Hell is just the grave then why are we warned to fear the one who can kill and then cast you into Hell? If you are dead what fear does a grave hold?

Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

The rich man was in torment in Hell.
