So I've been watching some documentaries on TV about Syria and refugees fleeing their country by boat, travelling weeks to months by sea - crossing to Greece, Turkey, Hungary, Croatia, Estonia. Germany and even England. Anywhere, just anywhere, they just want to get away from their devastated land - Babies, toddlers, children, old people in tow..... most do not wish to go back, Ever... Some were beaten, tortured by corrupt authorities. Just when they thought crossing the sea was the hardest part they had to overcome, they end up facing more serious challenges - place to stay with kids, getting legal residency, facing discrimination for being Syrians, not able to find any jobs, separated from family, etc... My heart broke, I cried... I told God I wish there was something I could do for them. They just want to live normal, peaceful lives. There are not terrorists and want nothing to do with terrorism nor radical Islam. The documentary showed a British family opening their doors to one Syrian refugee, who later flew his wife and kids over. He's probably one of the few fortunate ones. Should we as Christians open our doors to them ? Would you trust a Syrian enough to help them and shelter them ? I live in a country where there NO refugees whatsoever, so I really do not know what I'll do if I met refugees like that.

Wow, I can't believe I'm reading this... I'm going through the exact same thing, that is why I decided to try out this forum. I've been alone and friend-less for a very long time and have more and less gotten used to it. My family members who are Non-believers think that I'm such a loser. You know, I would really love to pray for you, however it's difficult to remember someone in prayers when your profile name is " 4LdKHVCzRDj2 ". If you truly desire for friends, then I believe God will answer. But be wise because I know satan will bring you all kinds of bullies and abusers like he did to me.

Hello to you and all the rest reading this, Yes I am one of them, or to put it more correctly, I used to be. First and foremost, all of us need to understand that chronic illness is a CURSE. It's in Deuteronomy 28. Most of us only tend to read the first part of Deuteronomy 28 which talks about "Blessings for Obedience". That's great and all. But it behooves us to try and read the second part as well, which talks about "Curses for Disobedience". For example, ---- 21 The Lord will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess. 22 The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish. 27 The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured. 35 The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head. 60 He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. 61 The Lord will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed. ------- Whatever conditions described above , the devil is able to counterfeit them and afflict them on our bodies today, deceiving us to believe that we're cursed. But Christ Jesus has already redeemed us from ALL curses. Galatians 3:13-14 "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. " What are the blessings of Abraham? Genesis 24:1 "Abraham was now very old, and the Lord had blessed him in every way." including health. We, as believers, must take authority over our sicknesses and diseases and uproot them. (Luke 10:19 , 17:6 ; Mark 11:24). And it is a persistent and continuous process until we see results. Let the devil know that enough is enough, you are no longer under any curse, you are already redeemed by the Blood of Jesus, Who Himself took our infirmities and diseases (Isaiah 53 : 5). Command the pain to GO. Prophecy into your body or in the area that you need healing - for fresh new cells, tissues, tendons, ligaments, cartiledges to come into life supernaturally (Ezekial 37:4-6) Matthew 4:23-24 "Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. I guarantee you, if you hold on to your faith and persist, if you exercise due diligence and declare the Word of God everyday like that, YOU ARE GOING TO SEE RESULTS. Health and strength will return to your body. In fact, let there be 120% restoration of health. Your youth shall be renewed like the eagle's. I am still recovering from my incurable disease. But I can feel that it is happening. Healing is perfecting in my body everyday. I am definitely getting better and better each day. It is a condition that my mother used to suffer but NO devil, I refuse to suffer like her because I'm a believer, I'm a child of the Most High God, the Redeemed of the Lord, the Blessed one. God will pay me back double for my troubles. I believe I'm getting back my health 120% restoration and perfection. Psalm 138:8 - God will perfect that which concerns you.

God has given you free will and free choice ; however you cannot choose the consequences of your actions. A true Christian will not engage in homosexuality and a homosexual cannot possibly be a true Christian. Sorry......

Hello Carolina16, The Bible says No weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). If you can, anoint yourself with anointing oil before you leave for work each day. Or just plead the Blood of Jesus over you. I pray for you that things will turn around from today. God will surround you with favors as with a shield ( Psalm 5:12). Those who mistreated you will longer be able to find an excuse to pick on you again. They will just leave you alone as they will realize that it's tiring and useless. God will surely deliver you from ALL your troubles (Psalm 34:17-19, Psalm 50:15, Psalm 46:1). May God's hedge of protection be over you always. May you find joy and peace in your life and in your work. Amen. Declare this everyday : "I will not fear man, what can man do to me? If God is for me, who can be against me. The Lord is my Helper. " -- Psalm 118:6-7 , Romans 8:31 Love you Sis. God bless.

Not sure whether those questions are directed at me, but Yes. I'm most definitely a praying , born again Christian.

Why is that bad ?

What is the worst thing a Christian can say to you when you're feeling down ? I'm asking because I've encountered many instances in my own life when I was down and when I approached a Christian, many of them would say "God knows what I am going through". Really? That's it ? How is that supposed to make me feel better ?? Have any of you received the same kind of advise/response, and how did that make you feel ?

Not sure where to post this topic... This has been on my mind for a while now and would like to ask everyone. What is your biggest regret in life ?
