April 7- I was raised believing that to be saved I needed to follow the instructions in romans 10:9. But now I'm wondering if salvation is more than just a confession of faith and belief that Jesus is Lord. isn't true belief more than just words; what if someone was saved as a child but choices in adulthood seem incongruent with Jesus' teachings (ie. treat people poorly, judgemental, prideful)..does that mean they were never 'really' saved?

April 10- “He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.”Acts 10:41 Why did God choose not to let the resurrected Jesus be seen by all the people? I struggle with this thought. How much easier it would have been if everyone had seen the resurrected Jesus. Definitive proof that he was indeed alive.

April 15- Okay, can we talk about trump depicting himself as Jesus.. this has me outraged and now that he’s claiming it’s a photo of him being a “doctor” even more so. What do you think about this? And do you think this is the moment some Christian’s will wake up to what is happening

April 16-Can you explain the inverted orthodoxy “door” symbol? Are there purposely 5 triangle plus 2 at the bottom? Why does the one on the top right have a side missing? How was this chosen? Thanks.
