yes, sometimes and no, sometimes. i appear not to have the gift of prophecy :P these feelings may come from God, the devil, or our own imagination. so not 100% accurate.

leaving your church will be like 'jumping from the frying pan into the fire' (old british saying). the coptic churches around the world do not seem to have the problems they have in north america, and so leaving your juristiction is not the best an…

we don't. we should pray for our own sinful souls first.

hopefully she goes to the bathroom to wash every day. try to do your main praying then, so you feel free to prostrate or cry or whatever, but also pray and read the Bible when she is there sometimes (quietly and respecting whatever she is doing too).

i don't think there is much fighting; most of us are willing to accept there are some differences in focus, but the Bible studies i have been to have been places where questions and debate are encouraged, but people do not get annoyed with each othe…

basically it takes lots and lots of trying! if anyone knows the answer, i am interested too! i just keep trying and it gets a bit better.

that's right. also, my top tip: praying in bed is only to be done AFTER u have finished praying standing up / kneeling etc. ;) (have learnt from my own naughty experience!)

dear brothers and sisters, could anyone give me a list (send p.m. if you like) of all of the hymns / songs that are appropriate for Holy Communion? eg. particularly like 'from all nations', is this mazboot? i would like to compile a list of communio…

lovely links, binC, especially the 2nd one. i will look at them again when i have more time. i know romania well, and it is amazing to think people survive in the wilderness there; in the winter it gets down to -20C or colder! may God give them merc…

sounds like u are depressed. u have contributed a lot to this forum over the years, so , no, the world is not better off without u. and this is not just the usual reaction to the sin in the world. the Holy Spirit convicts and gives life. the enemy c…

hi, this seems like it was continued from another thread; i don't understand if there was a link. but Jesus was miraculously conceived (incarnated) and took on a mortal human nature with the capacity to commit sin. He did not inherit any sins (nor …

the bottom line is his relationship with God. if he loves God (and believes in Him), he will want to stop. so talk about God, see where he is at. then ask him what he wants out of this romantic relationship and why. if he wants to stay in the churc…

the physical bits go in the guts and the spiritual bits go in the spirit. of course, you can't quite distinguish what is physical from what is spiritual as they are not separate. so it's a bit of a mystery! ;)

welcome to the forums! i don't think most people are clueless about conversion; but i know that in some churches people don't have the best attitude to newcomers. be very patient (itself a valuable spiritual discipline) and read a lot about the chur…

i, personally dislike hearing archaic english. even though i am not young, i still don't understand it. too me (and too millions of native english speakers), it sounds distant, upper class, and lacks beauty. i would love it if we stopped using it. …
