argues that naturalism cannot explain how we know subjective experience exists.

Do you think there is an esoteric meaning hidden in this connection. By mainstream Christian logic they are diametrically opposed to one another but why then do they share qualities related in nature?

Why is Satan then, not depicted in ice, cold or darkness being the polar opposite of light and heat?

According to Jewish the Jewish calender, Saturday was the day of rest. So, when and why is the Sabbath observed on Sunday?

My family is Jehovah’s witnesses and ive tried telling them about the true Jesus but they won’t listen and i want them to go to heaven and I can’t let go I’ve prayed and I don’t think I mean what I say but I can’t even tell and I need help

So i've been really in doubt lately about my beliefs, about whether God exists or not, about the terrifying thought of a mere chance of Him not being real. I'm kind of getting past it, but now that i'm sure He's real, why do I feel so far? Like I don't see Him the way I did before? I don't feel as close, and i've always had a special connection to Jesus, but they just feel so far. So out of reach. So.... empty, you know? Like I don't see them as loving as I did before. And it kind of hurts. Can anyone help me?

I don't know why but I feel happy inside and feel relaxed and relive and free from burden when I say Christ in my heart and there is so many signals that it's calling me to convert into Christianity.

There's someone in my family (I don't know if I should say who, 'cause maybe I'm already gossipping), but this person is so occupied with Israel (Pro Israel), that it feels like an obsession. It seems like a virtuous thing, 'cause it's God's people, but I do believe it's becoming an idol.
He/she sends messages forward about Israel, shares news about Israel, goes to lectures about Israel, visits a rally, shares flyers about Israel... etc.

To be honest, two thoughts are going through my mind:
One, it starts to annoy me. Maybe because I feel forced to read the links and messages this person sends me.
And I was actually saved in July myself and as I was talking to this person about my faith, this person seemed worried about me, for taking my faith so seriously. And I almost wanted to say to this person that his/her thing with Israel is more dangerous. But lashing out about that will only harm him/her

I'm also a bit worried about this person's spiritual health. I mean: Is Jesus really his/her number one? Or is Israel more important?
But I'm not so sure if I'm more worried or more annoyed. So, if I would discuss this topic with him/her, I'm not sure if I would do it out of love.

Please note that my question is not simply rhetorical -- it's a serious one.

I'm not here to bash any person or program or anything. I'm only here to ask questions.

There are people like a certain Internet-based psychologist who advocate a certain proprietary marrying finder. The program claims that you can find your true love. The program is available on the Internet and it claims it has helped a lot of Christian couples find each other and get married.

But 2 Peter 1:3-4 says, "God's divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires."

Therefore, isn't the idea of a dating site preposterous, according to 2 Peter 1:3-4?

Also, there are young people who have difficulties with impulse control. Some of them have ADD. Some of them have ADHD. Some of them have Autism. So: What about the idea of them taking prescription drugs to help curb those impulses?

For example, let's say a young Christian student often feels the urge to yell in his school classes. The teacher will be giving a lesson, -- and the young Christian will frequently be compelled to yell out loud and disrupt class.

So, let's say we give our child Ritalin, or other prescription drugs. Maybe he has ADHD. Or maybe he has Autism. So we give him medications.

But 2 Peter 1:3-4 says, "God's divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires."

I apologize if I've been presumptuous. It's a serious question I have regarding Scripture and what is actually Scriptural. Thank you.

Is it prideful for me to think i have to earn love? That if I don't accomplish something that I'm effectively useless? I'm tired of feeling useless and I'm tired of making excuses for my poor behavior.
