Hey guys, I'm having a hard decision. My mom wants me to go to this church that I've haven't been to for about 4 yrs and now she wants to go back. The problem is I'm a very shy kid and don't really want to go and I'm really stressed to go back. I know its a good thing to attend church but what should I do?

Do you all think this is a good way to witness to new converts?
Seriously?

I am kind of curious. Someone asked a question about you guys eating meat earlier since it contains blood. Most answers said most of the blood is removed. It got me to thinking though. I like my steak rare and bloody. Do any of you guys eat it that way? If so doesn't it violate your issues with blood?

At the core, Christians believe the Gospel.
This is what makes a Christian a Christian!

I have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. God commanded that I be perfect as He is perfect and holy as He is holy, but I have failed to do this. I know that the wages of sin is death...and hell. And I readily admit that in and of myself, I am a sinner, have failed God, and deserve nothing but His displeasure and to go to hell. However, I believe that God is so benevolent, loving, merciful, and gracious that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for MY sins on the cross - freely giving me His gift of eternal life. It is a gift, for I do not deserve it. But nonetheless, I humbly accept this gift as one who is unworthy, and therefore count on the righteousness of Jesus Christ rather than my own righteousness before God on Judgement Day.

This is the Gospel.

I just wanted to add this into here. I know I question your beliefs a lot on here. I do not agree with all of them. However I do believe many of you are Christians. I say many because I doubt any church truly has 100% of it's members saved, including mine. I do not seek to attack you. I just seek a dialog and a give and take. I will always try to keep my questions as polite as possible. So I ask if I have offended you to forgive me? But I also ask will you bear with me when I question? It is not done from hate. I consider you my brothers and sister in Christ and do not wish to offend my family. I see things that you believe that I feel are not necessarily true. So I question them. However I try my best to be polite when doing it. So can we still love each other in Christ even when I am questioning you?

I felt the need to put this on here because some have accused me of attacking Catholics and this is not my goal.

I am wondering if I had a t-shirt of this made, and walked around in the U.S. bible belt, how long it would take for me to get arrested...or does this not go over the bounds of freedom of speech and expression?

My sister is 17 years old and last year this guy that dad had known from work met her and liked her a lot and talked to daddy about marrying her and he said he would love to have him as a son in law and then talked to my sister and asked her about it and she said yes she would. Well, as a brideprice this man helped daddy build a room on the house and provided free labor worth thousands of dollars. Well, my sister was supposed to marry this guy in a few months and now she is telling me she is having second thoughts and wants to go to college but she hasn't told anyone this but me and I tried telling her that is not necessary because this man could support her and she needs to stay at home with her future children!! Plus, daddy would owe thousands of dollars to this man if she didn't marry him!!!! She still said she was thinking about calling it off!! I tried to tell her that is equivalent to commiting adultery and she doesn't believe me. WHAT ELSE SHOULD I TELL HER??!!?

I personally find it quite tiresome and old when people ask really unintelligent questions in forums or in chat rooms that are solely intended to rile up the Christian community just to say "see, Christians aren't superhuman after all!" Well no crap! We are merely human as well and as such we are not to be expected to have the tolerance and forgiveness as that of our glorious God. Everyone has this stigma of Christians in that we are perfect and have perfect lives. We don't! We have trials and doubts and problems all our own just as the atheist down the street does. We proclaim our Christianity because God says that if we are ashamed of him so shall he be of us. Live and let live.

What is the meaning of everything they do during the baptism. i.e. the two different oils, the three dunkings, they spooning of the bread and wine into the child - etc. I am not Greek speaking, so I don't understand what the priest is talking about when I go to these baptisms. Jacob, can you explain the whole ceremony to me.

In the Old testament, it says that If anyone do homosexualy; than they must be stoned to death. It also said the same thing to disobeyed kids, and your family if they try to get you to believe in false idols. I am no fan of stoning people to death, but why people are not doing it anymore?

If the one universal power has created a brilliantly orchestrated movement of perfect harmony, then can you be sure that your thoughts and actions are always positive?

Why is it with so many people (Muslims, Jews, Jehova's Witnesess, 7th Day Adventists.....and those of us by personal choice) that don't eat pork, more retaurants don't offer pork substitutes? Why can't I get turkey bacon at a deli or turkey peperoni with delivery?

I was reading the bible when my son came over and spilt his KoolAid on the table. Something told me to look at the puddle. When I did I got chills!!! The spill looked exactly like either a profile of Jesus, or a mirror image of the Caspian Sea.

What do you think God is saying to me?

What if the definition of pretending is to deceive or give a false appearance? What if pretending can fool men, but it cannot fool God? What if it's true that we are known by our fruits? What if Jesus was right in saying that not everyone who calls Him their Lord will enter heaven (Mt. 7:21)? What if Satan wants me to believe I can sin and get away with it? What if God is not only a God of love and forgiveness, but also a God of justice and wrath?
What if it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Heb. 10:31)? What if my love for the things of this world reveals that I do not belong to Christ (1 Jn. 2:15)? What if I really should examine myself to see if I am truly in the faith? What if I have not honestly been broken over my sins against God and completely surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ? What if I have broken God's commandments thousands of times without even caring that it spits in the face of God? What if God holds me accountable for every lie, every lustful thought, and every time I felt hatred toward a person? What if God considers my lust to be adultery and my hatred as murder? What if I'm actually ignoring the God who gives me my every breath? What if I don’t see myself as a despicable, wicked person who deserves nothing but eternity in hell? What if God does not desire for me to go to hell, but He will not force me to stop living my self-centered life (Mark 8:34-38)? What if even though I have been so selfish in my self-centered life, Jesus still desires me as He lovingly took the wrath of God upon Himself on the cross for me? What if this conviction in my heart is begging me to genuinely repent and to surrender my life and desires to Jesus Christ alone?
