• Conflicted: How Do I Believe When I Have So Much Doubt?

    I've been having a hard time lately holding onto my faith. There's just so many different Christian denominations, and each one firmly claims that they are right. How do I know which one is true?

  • The Truth - 380,000 Varieties?

    Almost all Christian denominations believe that the Bible is the word of God. Some claim that the Bible contains the truth of God's revelation to mankind and that the Bible is sufficient for salvation.

  • General Thoughts...

    Below this post is ANOTHER post in which there is probably more "helpful" information about where we are right now, and in general how things are going.
