    Is God omnipotent?

    I'm sure everyone is aware of the problem that says that, due to the evil in the world, God cannot be all loving, all powerful, and all knowing. With this in mind, and as a possible answer to this problem, does the Bible actually say that God is omnipotent?

    Place of mystical experience in Christianity

    Besides the "salvation experience", does Christianity place any importance on mystical experience? If so, what? How does this play into the process of sanctification and spirituality/spiritual growth, if at all?

    My thoughts as of late

    So, the last few months I've been going through some sort of existential crisis. I think it's been some sort of mid-life crisis, but I'm not sure. It started when I began to question whether life had any meaning, particularly objective meaning. I realized that the existentialists were right...

    Internet chat rooms

    Where are the best internet chat rooms, especially for religious discussions? I haven't been able to find anything. Keep in mind, I ask because I haven't been able to get Paltalk to work since their update, and I have no idea how to use IRQ (if someone wants to guide me, this would be fine too).

    Kamakura, Theosophy, and the eye of discernment

    This is something I've been thinking about for awhile. Keep this in mind as you read this: not everything that takes the name of Buddhism, is Buddhism. In Kamakura Japan, various Buddhist schools took root. Most of them were imports from China, with the notable exception of Nichiren...
