Sin and Suffering

One of the reasons why the Psalms are revered as sacred Scripture in all three of the major Abrahamic religions is because they are highly relatable. King David, who wrote the majority of the Psalms found in most Bibles, went through some serious challenges and some serious suffering. I have never met anyone who expresses… Continue reading

Speaking in Tongues

Greetings, friends. I wanted to start a conversation about the Christian practice of speaking in tongues. Several people prayed for me to receive this gift, but I’ve always felt it doesn’t really work. I do wonder whether other people who speak in tongues experience the practice in a different way to me. I always felt… Continue reading

Does God Really Subject People to Everlasting Punishment?

I know I’m not alone in feeling intense horror at the idea that God would punish people eternally. Christian Universalists, who believe all will ultimately be saved, are motivated by the intuition that everlasting torment cannot ever reflect the truly merciful character of God. My own philosophical understanding is that God is in control of… Continue reading
