I do think that according to the christian faith, homosexuality is a sin, but that’s concerning the christian faith. But at the same time, all sin is the same. If you sin no matter what it is, a little white lie, or something like stealing, you’d be considered a sinner. It is not our job or it’s not even our right to make the decision as to which…[Read more]

I definitely agree that the church has sent a message that has caused or continues to cause mistreatment of the LGBT community by Christians. Even though it is taught that homosexuality is a sin, that doesn’t mean that as christians, one would have the right to condemn and judge a person based on their actions. it was explained in the bible that a…[Read more]

I definitely agree with you in that God allows us to live with these evil in the world to test us. God didn’t create evil, and I would always ask myself if God is so mighty, why allow evil to even exist. But This goes on to what someone had mentioned before, God created free will so that we can choose how we live our lives. It’s our decision to do…[Read more]

I think that anyone at that time would be absolutely terrified. But i agree with you one the idea of trust. I can’t refer to s specific scripture, but I know that the bible tells us that we have to trust in God and believe in Jesus, so the world ending shouldn’t be something to be scared off, but something to rejoice in, in a way.

I agree with what other have said with the whole idea of “faking it”. If God had said this date and time from when the world is gonna end, some people would in a way fake the belief in that the salvation to everlasting life is through Christ. In addition, I think that people will then disregard the fact that as Christians, they have to live for…[Read more]

What you said about faith was really interesting, I didn’t think about it that way. I kind of explained in a way that if we stop praying we do lose our faith, but I can see how we don’t. We might just be more distant from God. Which obviously isn’t a good thing when it comes to devotion. But i think that because prayer is so important it having…[Read more]

That’s actually a really interesting point. If God answered all our prayers then we would be taking advantage of Him. But also, there are reasons as to why God doesn’t always answer our prayers, like how when we pray, we are always insisting on what we want for our plans. I think that the best plan is God’s plan, so he answers our prayers based on…[Read more]

I don’t think there’s a specific age in which parents should stop influencing their children. I think that the parent’s main job is to be parents and continually support and influence his or her children even if they’re grown and older. I think that once a child has fully understood that they have the option to seek different religions, and fully…[Read more]

This was a very interesting article. I honestly think that the parent’s religion forms the foundation on the religion of their children, so it forms the structure for their religion. Whether children continue to practice the same religion as their parents, I think that parents should raise their kids with their faith, teaching them not only about…[Read more]

I understand and you are right, its great to see churches reaching out to the younger generations by creating a more youthful environment. I know that some services in traditional settings can be boring or sometimes it’s hard to connect with, so the “youth” outreach really helps. But again, the only reason why I don’t like the youth services is…[Read more]

I agree that churches do need to evolve the way they preach the gospel/ message, but obviously making sure that they don’t lose the true purpose, which Karissa explained. In my personal experience/ opinion I never really enjoyed going to the “teen” or younger generation outreaches. It seemed like they were trying too hard to connect with the…[Read more]

Growing up I was surrounded in a strong catholic faith, where it was strictly just prayers and attending masses that formed that relationship with God, which bring about salvation. SO i get where you’re coming from. But as I learned about the Christian faith, I learned more about the actual purpose of prayer, and forming that relationship with…[Read more]

I think that a couple of people thought the same thing, and I agree. In that in order to fully understand and to fully appreciate the salvation is to be willingly be on with Christ. I think its to form that relationship that God wants us to have with him, and with Jesus Christ is what ties us to the root of salvation. I definitely like the textual…[Read more]

I completely understand where you’re coming from. Children haven’t really developed or fully understand what their own religion is, and could even interpret their own religion in a wrong way by mistake. Although I don’t think that kids should have their own friendship limited if they are from different religions. After all, they are just kids. I…[Read more]

I completely agree with you. Children are allows to use their own religious interpretations to influence each other, because it allows for opportunities for others to understand other religions. Although i would understand if children shouldn’t, because they haven’t fully developed a coherent or sound outlook on the different aspects of religion.
