What does it mean to be poor in spirit, as Jesus said we ought to be? I don't understand this, because it seems to me that we ought to strive to be rich in spirit, not poor. Or am I missing the point?
I've made such a mess of my life and I know God doesn't want anything to do with me, because years ago, when I had the chance to turn my life over to Him, I turned away. I wanted to run my own life, and now I'm paying the price. Please tell people to accept God while they can, or they'll lose out like I have.
Is looking at pornography wrong in God's eyes? I admit I've gotten hooked on it through the Internet (which my wife doesn't know about) but I'm not sure I see anything wrong with it. Do you?
I'd always looked forward to being a mother, but to be honest, I hate it. Our 2-year-old doesn't give me a minute's rest, and the baby is always cranky. I thought it would be fun to be a mother, but I'm exhausted. Please pray I'll have patience.
My cousin had very serious emotional problems most of her life, and finally they overwhelmed her and she committed suicide. I firmly believe she was a Christian, but did she lose her salvation by doing this? Is suicide the unpardonable sin?
For my high school graduation, my aunt gave me a very nice gold cross to wear as a necklace, and she said it would bring me good luck if I wore it. Is she right?
When were the angels created? Or have they always existed, just like God has? I've never seen an angel, and probably never will, but I believe they exist and they do watch over us.
If Jesus came down to earth now instead of 2,000 years ago, do you think people would treat Him any differently than they did then? Although we still have a lot of problems, it is a less cruel world now than it was then, it seems to me.
I've decided I'm going to move in with my boyfriend. I know you'll probably say it's wrong, but if we do get married I really want it to last. How can I know if it's going to work unless we try living together? Doesn't God also want my marriage to last?
I have a hard time believing God loves me when I know He's looking at me all the time and keeping track of all my sins. I know I ought to love God, but the truth is, I'm scared of Him.
Some people would say I'm old fashioned, I guess, but I get very alarmed at all the changes in our society, and the way immorality and greed have almost become normal. Do you think God is going to step in and judge us for the way we're living?
Where did the Bible come from? Did one person collect all the books of the Bible once they had been written, and then put them together into one book? Or do we know?
