When I first discovered this site I was quite excited at the idea of being able to express thoughts, correct or incorrect as they might be, in order to explore concepts of faith and how the presence of god works in the lives of many people from a spectum of many faiths. Maybe I got the wrong...

Matthew 12:31 "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven...

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the input :) Thanks Faithful, I had thought something alone that line but just wasn't sure.. I tend to overthink things sometimes

Awesome wil, it's similar for me, though possibly not experienced as often. Sometimes though, in the world moments.. you wonder about things.. *huge smile*

I was hoping some people might like to help me gain some insight into the "Kingdom of Heaven" as referred to in Matthew which is sometimes called 'Kingdom of God' in other gospels. (Comparisons show they are in reference to the same thing?) In Matthew 3, John the Baptist says "Repent, for the...

Hi Cavalier, I am not sure if you question was purely hypothetical or not, but if it isn't.. and you are yourself in considerable fear of hell.. my heart truely goes out to you. I apologise if this is presumptious of me, but on another thread, I noticed you wrote on demons and it made me...

Silas I have to finally say, (as I about to leave this forum, never to return) that I feel it is pointless discussing anything with you. If you are incapable of seeing where you have no intention at all in sharing or discussing your ideas even from a solely Fundamental Christian perspective.. I...

It is my opinion that Mother Teresa was an absolutely extraordinary woman. She was brought up Catholic. Her father was murdered when she was only 7 years old and despite not even knowing the language of English very well, the spirit of God moved within her and she joined a group of Irish Nuns...

Will it count? I remember being told once that we are meant to be fearful of God's wrath.. so I suppose fear could be a good thing for some people. It isn't for me however. I get angry at the emotion of fear and tempt it. (I can see myself going to an early grave with that one) So for me.. I...

Thanks Dauer I am quite fond of wikipedia and the other link proved most helpful. Thanks for the general insight too :) After I do some reading I might be back with couple more questions..:D

Thanks Luna, I haven't seen that prayer before, but will certainly have a look around for a nice copy of it. It was especially interesting as I have been recently reading some information on the St Francis of Assisi. A nice co-incidence. Thanks for the welcome InLove :)

Firstly I wish to apologise for my complete ignorance of Judaism Sorry.. :o I have a few questions.. so many thanks in advance to answers. If existing threads already cover these topics.. please don't hesitate to provide a link them. Are the old testament books of the standard bible also...

I've read and re-read it a few times.. and it expresses itself to me in such a beautiful way.. and mirrors my own thoughts almost completely.. How honoured I shall be to find myself also at that wooden gate, not too far behind you :) Thank you so much InLove for sharing it..

What I really like about the scripture of 1 Corinthians 13, is it describes what "Love" actually is. (At least from the perception of the bible) I think that Love is often confused with a variety of other emotions or feelings of goodness, security, wellbeing and general pleasure and here, love...

Thanks Wil and Cage, It's great to know I am amongst other travellers!! I shall admit I know little of modern Judaism.:o I was aware, that the Judaism at the time of Jesus (if it has at all changed) has been inaccurately expressed within the framework of the Bible. You would think I would of...

I don't think I know what I faith I am anymore.. How do I make myself believe something when another truth has been revealed to me? Can I be a Christian and still believe that other religions have a way to God..? I just can't get my head around the idea that God would appear only to Israel and...

How to believe? Some people I suppose are lucky and are given evidence of God's existance. I have myself been confused with particular phrases from the book of John in the Bible. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not...

So what if there is no god.. and you can sin to your hearts desire with no fear of going to hell.? Well, if you only had this life.. you would want to make it the best you could wouldn't you? I would be wanting to extend my mortal existance as long as possible. Drinking.. = liver disease :(...

Thanks Wil, That is what I believe too.. which I do know differs I think sometimes from other peoples thoughts. God wishes for us to avoid sin, because the sin itself separates us from him..

From my thoughts.. I always felt that the 'Pride' that is a sin is the 'Pride' that the people have, that works against them. Eg. A man loses his $60,000 a year job and then refuses to take the $55,000 job, despite the fact he will lose his house etc.. because his pride refuses to allow him to...
