Hello, have a question about schizophrenia and Christianity. How many schizophrenics are there that were christian before being diagnosed with schizophrenia. Just trying to find other people who are christian and diagnosed with this illness and trying to make sense of it all that it isn’t demonic possession but demonic oppression. I’ve been battling this…

I live in America but am from hasakah Syria. My family and I moved because of Islam. Don’t listen to whatever media that’s saying Christians and Muslims in Syria live in harmony, no we fucking don’t. We were always 2nd class citizens and now these jihadists funded by the country I’m now living in are…

I’ve got a question about the Bible, if someone adheres to old covenants and gives them importantance, does that mean they’re denying the new covenant of the Messiah? I get that they build off of one another, but should we take the old covenants as an example of God partnering with humans, or as something…

I have no family to really talk to about this. I’m lost right now and don’t know what to do in my relationship. Would anyone be willing to give a listening ear and maybe some advice about what to do? submitted by /u/Karen-audrey [link] [comments]

Do you know who these two are? What they do, or where they’re featured in scripture? submitted by /u/YogurtLazy7512 [link] [comments]

Literally it’s been on my mind as to why it’s so easy for people to quote scripture and preach to others, but they know they don’t even either A. believe what they read or 2. Don’t even follow wheat they read. That’s very concerning to me. Anyone notice this? submitted by /u/NeverJaded21 [link] [comments]

What can we do to determine the truth? What can we do to determine wether someone is truly being afflicted by an evil spirit or if they are struggling with a serious mental health condition? submitted by /u/ReplacementFlashy622 [link] [comments]

I’m still very new to religion but I have noticed some people say, for example, that they are a “God-fearing man,” and I suppose the wording has just been confusing me. I was wondering why “fearing” is used instead of something like “loving” I can understand trying to respect God’s authority, but is there a…

One of my closest friends is getting baptized this Sunday! 🙏 Let us continue being the Salt and Light for whatever time remains – collectively or individually. Matthew 25 You are all loved immensely! submitted by /u/The-Jolly-Watchman [link] [comments]

Has anybody heard of this church? It is a hyper fundamentalist group from the Phoebe Palmer/DS Warner holiness movement. They say they aren’t part of the other COG (Church Of God) churches but they share majority of the same standards and doctrine. I’ve done a deep dive on doctrine and a lot of it is…

I made these, love making something based on the Bible verses, but the problem that I have is, like there are certain designs, like for Resurrection sunday i thought of making a tee with Jesus on the cross and “YHWH’ written on the top. Now i would love to wear His Name, (People of the…

like just be gay but when it comes to sexual things and going further you just dont do it? genuinely curious bc ive been wondering this for a while. also would it be a sin to kiss someone of the same gender? not french just a peck? im really curious because i keep hearing that…

First off, I want to start this with stating I do not want to come off as vulgar or needy, but I think I’m doing something wrong. Whenever I pray, most of the time it’s just me talking about my day with God, thanking him for all of the good things, forgiving me for my…

I (20f) finally sat down with a youth leader today to discuss some of my struggles surrounding masturbation, lust, and pornography. It took me a while to gain the courage to discuss this since my boyfriend also attends the same church and we have many mutual friends there. While I was expecting some of the…

So I 29F was raised Baptist. Recently I’ve started chatting with this guy who is really passionate about his religion and ever since then I cannot stop thinking. Everything I put out, he answered and every bit of it made sense. I have learned as a adult that I’m pretty sure I just steered away…

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out because I experienced something that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about — and I would love your thoughts or insight. Earlier this year, I entered one of the darkest seasons of my life. After graduating college, I fell into a deep depression. I felt aimless, bitter, and resentful…

My mind just randomly said the holy Spirit was demonic and I was like I’m scared to get the holy Spirit because of my thoughts so yea I did the unforgivable sin I guess I’m going to hell it’s no use to live Godly anymore I tried to stop them because I was thinking about…

Hey everyone, I’m working on a small app called Himly. The idea is simple: help Christians fight sin with daily, biblical habits. You pick the sin you struggle with most (lust, pride, wrath, greed, envy, gluttony, sloth), and the app gives you a daily structure: 1) Prayer 2) Gratitude 3) Reflection 4) Fasting 5) Action…

I’m a young tow truck driver, and I kinda hate the job but it’s the only job i’ve ever had and i’m tired of driving trucks. I had a co worker he was hit a and killed at my 2nd company, and that really affected me. It made me look at life differently. The job…

Hi brothers and sisters, (Disclaimer: I am not asking for money or for you to pray that I get money, only advice) My wife and I are in a season where we are prayerfully pursuing IVF in hopes of starting our family. As many of you know, IVF can be very costly, and after much…

This is a church that is about 20 minutes from my house. I’ve known about it for quite some time, but I never went until around a month ago. I am Protestant, but I’ve been curious about the Apostolic traditions for quite some time, and after a very long conversation with a Catholic a few…

for example. say some guy living in 500bc died. this guy has never heard anything about the good news or Jesus or God. the only thing he possibly could’ve been introduced to is another form of religion, or none at all. where does he go? i can’t imagine an “all loving God” sending a person…

I’ve been thinking about the ideas of reincarnation and what happens after death, and I’m curious how Christianity addresses them. What parts of the Bible do Christians believe show that reincarnation isn’t real and that each person only gets one life? Where in the Bible does it explain that after death, you are judged and…

What does seeking God first mean and how do I do that submitted by /u/TheChristianFollower [link] [comments]

Hello, my name is Luisa, and I have an eye condition that causes me pain and a lot of fear. Please, from the bottom of my heart, I ask that you pray for my healing. I’ve seen how prayers help the sick; I think perhaps with more help, I could heal soon. I believe in…

Every single time I go on dating apps it’s the same thing and it just feels so unnatural to meet someone. I want to surrender to God and make him the first person I go to. I’m not willing to go long distance and the guys in my city I don’t really match up to…

I can’t stop drinking. I have an amazing wife and 2 kids. I’m 25 and have been drinking almost daily for the past 3 or 4 years. I live in the boonies of GA so traveling to church is a little difficult with work. We go every Sunday but we aren’t apart of the church.…
