    Christian: Messages from God

    Okay - kinda looking for debate here, but also a bit of advice into the bargain :) My boyfriend and I haven't been together long, and he's the one who brought me back to church and it's there where I've rekindled my belief. The problem is now, that he's been getting messages from God, a sort...

    HOMOSEXUALITY: What the Bible Does & Does Not Say

    Well, it's good to see MCC mentioned (go MCC Bournemouth!) - as I myself attend a church where we are taught God's love for all people, yet have been attending only long enough to have been to one service, this is a really interesting thread and one which I confess to have read the entire way...

    Let's see if I've got this correct then...

    Okay - the church I have recently started to attend is a worldwide, yet fairly small, organisation known as Metropolitan Community Church, or MCC. "We are part of an international denomination which is the largest lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgendered organisation in the world with around 42,000...

    Hola!

    Well, I was badgered onto here by a friend, and had my first peek around because it was more interesting than doing my coursework. I've always had a bit of a faith crisis, as I only worked out there was a religion behind my Ladbybird Children's Bible when I was fifteen (my mother had me...

    Why not make the 10 Commandments enforceable (and punishable) law?

    I've just got this fabulous mental picture of a line of children standing before a teacher who turns and says "Alright, which one of you nasty creatures has been coveting my ox?" And then waits for a hand to go up.

    What limits are there to the use of Scripture?

    Mm. The whole 'and if a woman should have an issue, and that issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart for seven days and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even' idea has been ignored for a good while, and yet due to certain things being scripture, other outdated...

    What limits are there to the use of Scripture?

    There are certainly limits to teaching children aspects of religion through scripture - I remember at the age of nine, with a very confused idea of religion (I was christened but have only ever set foot in a church once or twice and God was only used as a threat in case of lying) actually...

    Severe Depression - Curable or Permanent Condition

    I've found it difficult to cope with certain life events and the misery which followed, and I suppose I've always ben jealous of those who can believe in something. I myself find it difficult to trust and find any sort of faith in anything at my times of misery. I've always wanted to find...
