     | 6,618 views

    I have heard the word “anointed” used to describe a person. Some would say, “She is an anointed worship leader”, “He is an anointed preacher”. “That person is anointed to do this and that.” So, what does it really mean to be anointed?

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on May 24, 2024
     | 2,959 views

He then offered up, “Why is masturbation classed as a sin?” “I’m on Christian sites where people are saying that it’s all wrong and that you shouldn’t being stuff like that but surely God wants us to love either with a partner or ourself.” ...read more
