God Is it possible for God to create a universe without fate or predestination?

If one controls all possible variables, wouldn’t creation be akin to writing a story? Where every event is how you intended it to be with no surprises.

Is normal that I don't want enteral life as Christian.

8 Upvotes

I don't want to live forever.

I believe in Jesus and have relationship with him.

Yes I like pleasing God,but the sound of living for enternaty sounds boring and not good to me.

Like to me death is blessing,if God showed mercy and said you can spend in heaven I would ask can you put me dead forever.

Because for me death is beautiful part of life and I couldn't stand living forever.

How should Christian patents react if their teenager or young adult child had sex with someone they truly loved (despite not being married)?

4 Upvotes

This is a hypothetical

Because I read a lot about people who care about each other having sex with each other despite not being married, and their parents being harsh and critical about it

Is this biblical? How should a Christian parent respond?

Edit: I’m only asking this because it was on my mind. That’s all. I’m sorry if I made some people here uncomfortable

Why do Christians make everything demonic?

0 Upvotes

Like everything now is bad,every show is demonic.

As Christian chill it's fiction,if it cause you to sin don't watch it.

Of course porn,or sex scenes are forbidden.

There is always question is Eldar ring or Demon slayer a sin.

It isn't if it doesn't cause you to sin.

Like can I enjoy my 12 episodes of Horiyama.

If it that thing becomes your idol it is sin.

Hell if hell exists, how could you possibly have children in good conscience?

4 Upvotes

statistically speaking, that’s probably where they’ll end up. you will be responsible for creating a being who is going to be tortured for eternity. so the only reasonable course of action here is to not have kids. because why risk it? it is the most immoral thing in the world to summon a person so they face god’s (probably unfavorable) judgement.

How do I give something to God?

1 Upvotes

I have always heard people say that they have given their worries and frustrations to God, but what does that really mean? I overthink a lot so much so I’ll stay up late at night thinking. I even sometimes think about the past and get angry. I want to let go and give it to God, but how do I do that?

I wanna be a warrior for God in heaven

0 Upvotes

Am I the one who gets a feeling for after I die and hopefully make it to heaven and to fight against the demons and to show them what they deserve? Because I remember hearing after the rapture there will be a Great War against evil and good and I wanna fight in that war with and for god.

God What exactly was God's reason for creating humanity?

4 Upvotes

Playthings? Ego boosters? Showing off to other deities?

It can't be 'children' or 'pets' because you don't torture your misbehaving* loved ones, especially not for eternity with no chance of redemption.

What exactly, according to your worldview, is the purpose of our existence?

And what exactly is the purpose of Hell? Why wouldn't God give us a chance to redeem ourselves through reincarnation, or simply extinguish our souls and use that energy to try again?

\Note: 'misbehaving' can simply mean, withholding belief without evidence*

Family Questioning Christianity and salvation, but my wife is vehemently anti-religion. How do I deal with this?

5 Upvotes

I am feeling very drawn to Christianity, I believe in god and want to live a biblical life and raise my children with those values.

However, my wife was raised Catholic and hated it, she still hates religion.... a lot!

I am worried about how I put her mind at ease and get her to at least let me raise our children biblically.

Any thoughts or helpful advice would be very much appreciated.

Salvation Was I too young?

3 Upvotes

I remember at the age of 3 my mom doing a bible study with me and explaining that everyone had sinned including me. She then told me that Jesus was the only way I could be forgiven and I told her that I wanted forgiveness so she led me to the Lord.

I grew up praying and trying to be a good Christian always helping in Church and never doubted being Saved.

When I was 12 I heard the Gospel again and realized how brutal it was and asked God to forgive me and give my self over to Him but I truly believe before hand I was saved

Now I hear people saying that a childhood confession might be a false security in Jesus. I believe in the Gospel and regularly ask for forgiveness of my sins and try and walk the straight and narrow but was my childhood confession in vain?

Is it sin to defend your partner?

3 Upvotes

Let's say I am walking with me Christian gf or just friends and she or they get jumped by robbers or thugs that want to rape them or hurt them.

Is it sin to defend,even if it means hurting the oppressors.

Is it sin to physically defend them or should I just watch it and let it happen.

Old Testament What does part of Psalm 34:2 mean?

3 Upvotes

I saw in my KJV Bible it says: "My soul shall make her boast in the Lord" so as it's said later on we as the church are the bride of Christ so are all men and women considered females in God's eyes? since I've heard God has no grown folks in heaven we are all gods children?

Marriage Difference in beliefs

9 Upvotes

My husband claims to be a Christian man but he follows stuff about so called "twin flames". He believes he has a connection with a coworker. He looks her up on social media all the time. Somehow he thinks that because he cannot keep her out of his mind it is a sign she and him are connected.

I am very hurt because I believe in marriage the way the Bible says. I dont believe Jesus would intend on someone else getting my husbands attention when he's married to me.
