    Why is he called the HOLY Spirit?

    Is this because there are only one Father and Son but there are many spirits which may be confused with the Holy Spirit. And if you take this in conjunction with the widely held belief that sinning against the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin, whatever your understanding of that is, then it...

    Americans attitude toward counseling

    Interesting study, if somewhat predictable. The really revealing comment in this article for me is where the assumption that there is still a stigma surrounding mental health and therapy came from. Barna offers no explanation for this assumption but tries through the study to discover where...

    Why are some Christians so consumed with their denomination?

    Now there is a good question, I look forward to reading the responses of our learned brothers and sisters. Pete from Peterborough UK

    What kills church growth?

    I do not see any reference in the question to the quantitative evaluation you allude to. Pete from Peterborough UK

    What kills church growth?

    Odd that I thought the question is 'what kills church growth' and growth can be measured in many ways, I like to measure things the way Jesus says we should. Pete from Peterborough UK

    What kills church growth?

    Well I think the responses to this question here exemplify what is wrong with 'churches' in our world today. They are all focussed upon quantity and not quality, which is odd when you consider that Christ told us that it is our love for one another that would set us apart from the world in...

    Are you a gun owner?

    If I am attacked I will defend myself, but that does not include carrying and using a gun. Pete from Peterborough UK

    Are you a gun owner?

    Well it seems you would feel more at home in the USA as you clearly have similar opinions to their gun lobby activists. I wish you and your family luck Pete from Peterborough UK

    Are you a gun owner?

    I am afraid you have a view of the U.K. which I do not recognise, you seem to believe that most of the criminals here carry guns too. Whilst I accept some do the vast majority do not, and the reason for this is armed robbery or any other crime is treated proportionately heavily when the criminal...

    Are you a gun owner?

    I do not own a gun and I see no good reason for owning one. I do not hunt so have no valid reason to own one in the U.K. I am grateful I do not live in a society that allows and even encourages ownership and carrying of hand guns, as it appears to me at least, that this encouraged carrying...

    Are you an official member of a church

    No, I am not a member of any local church, or indeed any national church organisation. That is the easy part of the answer, now as to why? That is far more complex. I was in a local church, it happened to be labelled Church of England, but to be honest that label is applied to so many types of...

    Not religious but spiritual

    Well Being religious means following a religion whilst being spiritual means being 'alive' to the world of spirits. So I am afraid for me neither is very complimentary. After all the Pharisees were religious and Satan is spiritual! Pete from Peterborough UK

    The Priest is trying to steal your pearls!

    Stravinsk, you are welcome and yes this is how I would approach your situation. However just as you have suggested that I do not understand your situation it seems you do not understand mine, I too have given up attending church for a number of reasons, not least because I believe they tend to...

    The Priest is trying to steal your pearls!

    I would have to say that this is one of two things and you are being called to return to your study in both of them. The first is the enemy sending you a message to confuse you and knock your understanding. But you said that this is a priest you value and trust and so it is likely you would...

    going to a new church

    You are right, I do not know you, but if you believe moving to another church for the reasons you quote will resolve your issues, then you will be disappointed again and again. You do not need a different church, you need to listen to God's will for your life. That may mean staying in your...

    going to a new church

    Shakes his head sadly, JS I think you really need to examine your motives here, you have been upset by your last church when they refuse to change their plans for worship service at New Year, and because the worship group play a secular song. Then you set out your beliefs and ask for help to...

    that they may be one

    He is clearly praying for unity. His prayer was that we, the believers, would be one in the same way that he, the father and the Spirit were in unity. For me I believe he is referring to oneness of belief, that we would all believe the me thing. Now that seems like n impossible dream because...
