My only good memory was meeting a young woman who I could have still been friends with if I weren't so antisocial at the time. At the very least we had the entire "not black enough" thing in common.

Why would one assume an evil or flawed motive instead of assuming they are being honest when they say they are following the teachings of God? That... is a fair question actually, and it's really more due to what I've been through in my own life in the past few years. I've run into more than my fai...

Unlike with something like the afterlife, which is impossible to prove since very few people come back from the dead to begin with, there has been, throughout all of history recent or otherwise, examples showing that women are just as capable of men in every area, including leadership. And yet the C...

Just what does the CoC really think of forgiveness? I've heard the phrase "We need to pray for God's forgiveness" so much that, well, it eventually became kind of meaningless. I mean after all, if we're basically praying for every little wrong thing we might have [or not might have] done e...

My Mom has often had trouble dealing with the elder's wife of my CofC, although considering her husband who loves to teach passive aggressive sermons about whatever latest drama he got himself into inside or outside the church, it maybe more of a case of birds of a feather flock together. Oddly enou...

I get why someone would not want to be in hell, but I don't understand why anybody would want to be in heaven. From what I understand from what my CoC taught, all you are going to be doing in heaven is worship God. It's basically nothing more than another Sunday morning worship service... except it ...

It's understandable how this happens. It's part anger, part exercising freedom of finally being able to do the things you really wanted to do, part not caring about the consequences. Outside the church you don't have to worry about eternal damnation for the smallest mistake, just plain ol' death whi...
