sharkinajarcomics asked: If I want to go to seminary, would you recommend I go to college? I know it is not exactly necessary, but I am sure there are pros to it. I am eighteen and attending college now. Also, it seems you are very intellectual. As a younger believer, did your religion or philosophy classes shake your faith? Any stories? Love your blog, by the way!

relentless-grace-deactivated201 asked: Where are you studying? I want to go to IHOPU but I don't think my parents will ever let me study theology instead of LAW or MED. But either way, I can still serve God... What do you think? I love your blog btw, it's filled with the truth.
Anonymous asked: Satan is a dragon apparently. When do you think the battle of Armageddon will be?
the-freedom-within asked: Since you have way more followers than me. I would like to say that we, the body of Christ, should give more money to the poor. When tithing at church, tithe a bit less and give the rest of your tithes to the poor who need it more than the institutionalized church. Jesus told the rich man to sell his possessions and give it to the poor, so don't you think we should do the same? I challenge...
In reference to the picture I posted about “megachurches.” What I was referring to is the monster single site churches that spend more money on coffee shops and libraries and stadium seating than they spend on missions. I attended a pretty huge church in Chicago for a year that I loved. It was a multi-site church though. I think if you are going to have a large church you should spread...

Hey, just wanted to the anon who asked about dealing with depression that my friend Chris Werms has dealt with depression and that he is a much better person to talk to about that kind of thing with. So please, talk to him!

Anonymous asked: How do you deal with depression? I really struggle with this and have no reason to be this way. I try to have joy in knowing that God will bring me through it but I just feel so down and it can last a while. I usually cheer my friends up and they see me as positive and optimistic and I try to be that way ,but I get depressed a lot and don't want to tell my friends because I feel like...
Anonymous asked: Wouldn't an omniscient god, who can make kangaroos fly, be able to stop the cause of the flood that he himself created? In some weird genocidal hissy fit.
Anonymous asked: Why do you think god doesn't talk to us openly anymore, as he used to?
Anonymous asked: Do you believe in dragons?
Anonymous asked: There could 5 million species of animal on Earth. That's an incomprehensible weight. No matter how big the boat is, unless it was the size of a country. Also, how does one presume that animals such as kangaroos, who didn't share a continent with Noah, get across the sea, and reach his ark?

Anonymous asked: Deuteronomy 13:6-9 "If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying: Let us go and worship other gods (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other, or gods of other religions), do not yield to him or listen to him but...
relentless-grace-deactivated201 asked: If there is no God, how does one define morality? God is the only constant being that brings truth. If we are, really, talking to a meaningles skies, then you, dear anon, is following hollow laws of the earth. For without God, which is the only explanation for morality, then all the laws of the earth is pointless for we live for nothing as nothing defines anything.
sharkinajarcomics asked: Did you get any degrees from college? And since you are going to seminary, what do you plan to get there? And once seminary is through, what then?
Anonymous asked: Haterz gon' hate. Keep it up brother!
Here a thought about the influx of anon hate I've...
“In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.” (1 Peter 3:15-16)
It started with general debate about the...
the-freedom-within asked: To the anon who said, that we talk to an empty sky. We live in a creation in itself, the universe has been created from something. I can compare this to how a child is born within the womb of its mother. From science and logic, the baby knows its mother is there. So obviously, there is a creator out there.
Anonymous asked: You talk to an empty sky.
Anonymous asked: Maybe everyone hates you because you're wrong.
Anonymous asked: I am so sorry on behalf of all those that are throwing really tough stuff at you. Keep pursuing the Lord, as you are, and remember that they can never take away the mere fact that Jesus has died for YOU and saved you from the wrath of God.
Anonymous asked: How do you think Naoh fit 2 of all animals on Earth on his Ark. i can't understand how 2 of every species could fit on to a handbuilt ark. In Spirit, Rosy.

I went climbing for the second time today. I sent a 5.6 and a 5.7 (easy stuff but I’m a noob so what ev.) We were there for like 6 hours, needless to say, my forearms are FRIED.
Anonymous asked: Any god who felt anything like human emotion would hate you. You show no likeability, no individuality, nothing. You get told these stories as a child, and feel fit to simply accept it as true. Deny the flaws, attempt to retort proof to the contrary (evolution is a fact). Anticipate death because you feel so put upon in life. So, so sad. pitiful.
Anonymous asked: There is a difference because you believe what an ancient book told you, and deny evidence to the contrary. I never presume anything I know not to be proven. I can't critique your argument because then I'd actually have to KNOW how the universe was created 13 billion years ago (or in your case 10,000 years - though that is laughable incorrect), but I don't know. All I know is that...
Anonymous asked: I have the right to call you what I want, unlucky. Ignorant, not stupid perhaps, and I think you've clearly come to the wrong conclusions about philosophy. You seriously, seriously think you have all the right answers. There are almost 7 billion people on Earth, and you are one of the few who KNOWS, not just presumes, but KNOWS what happened, because an ancient book told you so. Ignorance and...
Anonymous asked: You attack anons for not knowing the answers to fundamental questions, and all you can provide is quackery. Your ignorance of scientific knowledge is not evidence that God exists. You settle for a belief in fairy tales because your overwhelmed by questions for which you have no answers.

You start with nothing, and you die with nothing....
Anonymous asked: I hope your devout followers take note that believing in science and proof is worse than having blind faith in an ancient book. Your main argument there is that I conveniently can't disprove that the reported resurrections, beacuse they are reported (it can very much be proven that dead people cannot walk) but of course if it's in the Bible it must be true eh? I wonder why no trace of...
Anonymous asked: They have been realised as aboslute crap perhaps though. As in thousands of dead people rising and walking around, and bread falling from the sky. It's such rubbish and is so clearly untrue, and not allegorical for anything. You need to suspend disbelief to believe that. You must suspend disbelief to accept 'miracles' and to believe that for some reason these things which never...
