Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Lifestyle and philosophical questions. The Questions You May Have page deals with a wide range of situations you may identity with or have questions about, including sexuality and sexual orientation, abortion, abuse, addictions and dependency, atheism and questions about religion.
Other pages already on the site may deal with other common questions. Note that some questions pose what we feel are misconceptions, or correct perceptions of the failure of many Christians or the church to be faithful to biblical precepts. Therefore, the responses present what we believe God has revealed (through the world He created and through His Word—The Bible) as the correct understanding and the ideal practice.
