he problem of evil is something I have struggled with for a very long time, as you may know. In fact, I might even go as far as to admit that it has served as a kind of road block to my growing in faith. Wherefore, I'm quite pleased that I seem to have found an answer. I remember reading a quote from some long-gone pope that although shedding one drop of Christ's would have been sufficient to save the human race, he suffered pain and death on the cross to demonstrate his love for us. I... An Answer to the Problem of Evil ..read more

We are told also that not every sin after baptism leads to death...but... Thoughts on mortal sin/venial sin ..read more

For some time in recent years, there's been a rejection of philosophy and classical theism, among those who considered themselves faithful orthodox Christians. Scott Oliphint, a major professor at Westminster Seminary, has been leading a massive crusade to reject classical theism among orthodox Christians.

For those of you who are philosophically inclined, what do you think about Immanuel Kant as the guy who put the nail in the coffin of moral law, and natural law? The Western civilization has been on a downhill ever since. I think Kant may be the most evil philosopher in history, for what he has done. But what do you think? To me, this picture captures it all: View attachment 2156 ..read more

I'm greatly interested in Liturgical forms of Christianity; as I think they are among the most beautiful and fullest expressions of the Christian faith. I'm currently am not a Christian, but I am letting God guide me to a place where I can find some answers. However, a part of me feels as if there's a caveat to this. I'm gay/have same sex attractions. I'm also in a relationship... Anglicanism and SSA ..read more
