After September 11th, many of us felt the need to show our patriotism. There was recently a rally held at the courthouse in which people from all over the community came to show support for our country and to remember those who had died. At this rally people from all religions were present. We lit […]
Why do so many educated people find it so hard to take personal responsibility for their actions and morality? Looking to primitive superstitions for an answer to every moral dilemma seems to remove the need to develop our own mental tools for dealing with the problems that living in modern societies present us. Do you […]
When I took my logic class in school, one of the things that we learned was how to define our terms. One way to define something was to simply point to it and say, “That is it!” This method, of course, assumes that you indeed know what it is that you are trying to define, […]
As we read in the Bible we only read about the presence of God in the area of the Old and New Testaments (Middle East, Greece, Rome, etc). Where was God for the rest of the world (China, North America, Island Nations, etc.)? Why didn’t he appear to them? Just because we do not have […]
My question is related to divorce. Recently a friend of mine divorced her husband on account of pyhsical abuse. She was finally tired of his violent behavior so she left him. My question is, is it okay for her to remarry? And if it isn’t biblically correct for her to remarry and she does, would […]
Is it biblical to withdraw fellowship from an individual who has left the church and after encouragement, exhortation, longsuffering, and finally rebuke refuses to come back to the Lord? I know the Lord’s church has failed miserably in recent years in excersising church discipline because it affects family members and is uncomfortable but we must […]
Is it bibically correct for women to teach, in a Sunday School class, a young boy of 10 years old who was recently baptized? The Bible teaches that women are not permitted to teach publicly or to take a role of authority over a man (1 Timothy 2:11, 12). There are two questions we must […]
We have a member who does not believe in Sponsoring Congregations? Do you and what is the scriptural authority for them? Sponsoring churches are scriptural. In Philippians 4:15, Paul wrote to the church at Philippi, “Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated […]
I understand that Israel is no longer to be a nation according to God & the scriptures today. Would you please furnish me the scriptures that prove this beyond a doubt. I would deeply appreciate an answer. I believe that the scripture that you are looking for is found in Deuteronomy 28:15-68. 15 But it […]
My question is what about preachers referring to the preacher?s house as the parsonage?
Why is it that I feel that God has left me, that I feel unwanted. My life is an empty shell; have I done something wrong for him to do this to me. I pray everyday and night for forgiveness, but I never have been given an answer. Thanks for writing. First, you need to […]
At the time of Paul’s writings, I believe the NT was not yet written, incomplete. The “imperfect” I believe is the miraculous spiritual gifts which ceased. What do you think the “perfect” is in 1 Corinthians 13:10? “The perfect” in this passage is the coming completion of the revelation of God to man in what […]
