The Bible clearly teaches that murder or killing is wrong, and that we should do what we can to protect and guard life. Life is a gift from God, and only God has the right to take a life. So What About the Death Penalty, Abortion, and Killing in Self Defense? When it says “thou [...]
Didn’t Jesus Say He Would Return While Disciples Were Still Alive?
September 29, 2008 by
“And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.” Luke 9:27. I recently received a question regarding Jesus’ statement above that some standing there would not taste death [...]
Why Does God Let His Children or Innocent People Suffer?
September 24, 2008 by
God lets us suffer, because He knows it is only temporary. In the grand scheme of all of eternity, this life is like not even a second. It is a puff of vapor that quickly disappears. If a kid dies of cancer, it seems so sad and unfair. It seems they were robbed of a [...]
Do People Still Talk in Tongues Today, Or Only During the Time of Apostles?
September 24, 2008 by
Personally I don’t believe it happens anymore. I don’t mean any offense to those that practice it or still believe it. I believe it COULD happen if necessary, and it was God’s will. But I have seen on TV and been to a church before where people blabble a bunch of ridiculous mumbo jumbo, and [...]
I Think I Am Losing My Faith, Is it Normal to Doubt God?
September 24, 2008 by
I recently received a question from someone stating that they had slowly lost faith in God. They said they had been religious for their entire lives, but really just didn’t have strong faith anymore. Here is my reply: It is perfectly normal to question things. Many people go through life constantly changing their belief system. I [...]
Does God Want Us to Attend Church? Is it a Sin Not to? Can we Worship at Home?
September 22, 2008 by
Great Question! No, you do not have to attend church to be considered good in God’s eyes. Church can be a great place to come together with people of the same beliefs, and churches can be great for communities, etc. But there are many that will probably attend church often, yet sin and do not [...]
What Do You Think About Billy Graham? Is He Genuine?
September 22, 2008 by
I think he was a talented preacher, and probably does have a geniune faith in God (although only God and Billy know for sure). I like to listen to his messages a lot. I know he isn’t perfect, and his life has not been without some controversy and scandals (the whole Nixen/Jew comments for example). [...]
Are Mega Churches and Prosperity Gospel Teachings Bad?
September 22, 2008 by
It is really sad that churches get massive buildings with state-of-the-art equipment. Have big fancy suits, clothes, jewelry, cars, mansions, etc. Yet there are homeless people everywhere, starving children, people that will die tomorrow if they don’t get a pill that costs $2, etc. Not that I have anything against any particular church or pastor. [...]
Will the Hadron Particle Collider Atom Smasher End the World in 2012?
September 22, 2008 by
People are really worried about the whole theory of the world ending on 2012 aren’t they? People are talking about it all the time, and I think as it gets closer there will be a lot of buzz about it. Especially the night before December 21, 2012! But just imagine how freaked out people would [...]
What Was Jesus Doing During His Teenage Young Adult Years?
September 22, 2008 by
The bible is almost completely silent on this issue. The only thing it really says is that he grew in favor among men, and increased in knowledge. That is it. So What Was Jesus Doing During His Young Teenage or Early Adult Years? No one can really present facts regarding this question, since that is all of [...]
What I Love About an Agnostic, Atheist, or Non-believer
September 22, 2008 by
Some have a really funny sense of humor. It even makes me laugh out loud sometimes at the funny jokes (not the ones where they insult people). Another reason I enjoy some of the agnostics/atheist is because it offers a different perspective on life. I believe in God, but I totally respect other people’s beliefs. [...]
Which is True: Creationism or Evolution? How Did Creation Start?
September 22, 2008 by
Creationism and Evolution seem to be popular things to debate about. The truth is, there is both evidence and great points for creationism, and there are great points and evidence for evolution. But that is as far as it can ever get. We are all just merely people trying to look at all of the [...]
How Can Good and Evil Really Exist, If Everything is Social or Genetic?
September 22, 2008 by
People often question the existence of good and evil. I recently read a question where someone was asking about the existence of good and evil. They said, “What about a person that was brainwashed to murder since they were a kid?” Here was my reply: That is true that many traits we possess are either [...]
Do You Think God Hates Religion and Segregation/Denominations?
September 22, 2008 by
There are so many different denominatins, interpretations, and belief systems out there! What do you think God thinks about it all? I often think the same thing. Why can’t we all just read the bible, and get along, and follow God’s commands, and love one another? Why do people always have to segregate themselves? I [...]
Pascal’s Wager: What Have We Got to Lose By Believing in God?
September 21, 2008 by
Is Pascal’s Wager True? Do We Have Nothing To Lose by Believing in God, and Everything to Gain? I completely agree with this argument 100%. This makes so much sense to me, and I agree with Pascal’s brilliance! People sometimes try to defy this reasoning, by saying that: Pascal’s wager if faulty, because it assumes [...]
