If God Exists, Why Does Survival of the Fittest Seem to Be True? First I just want to point out that some people depicted in the bible were very weak, yet acheived enormous status, and even had miracles and this is true even today (and it wasn’t survival of the fittest). King David was certainly [...]

Why People Fast, or Participate in Fasting Rituals: Some main reasons why people fast: To give a sort of sacrifice to God.

My Family Just Lost Someone to Suicide, I Don’t Know if God Exists
September 21, 2008 by
I recently received a question about someone who had lost a family member to suicide. They were very confused, and some members were religious and followed an organized religion, while others were agnostic or unsure about God. Here was my reply to the question: First, I just want to say that I am very sorry [...]
Aren’t People Getting Meaner Today? Isn’t The World Turning Bad?
September 21, 2008 by
I agree with this 100%. I have thought about the decaying of our world quite often. We are advancing so fast in things like technology, etc., but at the same time, our moral compass has deteriorated badly. I sometimes get “down” about life and the way people behave. Many people are very cold, rude, selfish, and more. [...]
What Do You Think About a Church That Forbids or Bans the Bible?
September 21, 2008 by
People often ask today if God still talks to us. In my opinion, the anser is yes. He talks to us through His word. I think the bible is an enormously great book, not only because it increases our faith in God, but also because it teaches us so much wisdom about how to live [...]
Will Satan Torture Us in Hell? And Will We Live for Eternity?
September 21, 2008 by
First–about hell. According to the bible, God throws satan and the beast, etc. into the “lake of fire.” It isn’t an underground amusement park where satan can constantly torture souls. He didn’t choose to be there, God throws him in there. Probably the worst part about it is being completely void of love and the [...]
Why Do Non-Believers and Agnostics Turn Religious Fast After a Disaster?
September 21, 2008 by
Isn’t it funny (or sad) how people often live their lives without any regard to God, spirituality, or religion. However, the first big disaster or problems they fact, they can get really religious REALLY quickly! I think this happens because people have believed in the past, but get involved in their life. They have some [...]
Is it A Sin To Marry People of Different Faiths, Religions, or Denominations?
September 21, 2008 by
Someone recently asked a question about marrying a person from a different Christian demonination. They were both devout Christians, but her fiance was in a different denomination. She stated that her preacher was strongly agaisnt her marriage, because it was his job to protect his “flock.” She was very upset, and was planning to leave [...]
If You Are Saved One Time, Are You Eternally Saved from God’s Judgement?
September 21, 2008 by
I completely respect other people’s beliefs, and I in no way want to offend anyone. But in my opinion, you are correct. If it were true that we could one time pray for forgiveness, and genuinely mean it in our heart, but then turn around and commit sins left and right and still get into [...]
What is the Worst and Best Things About Organized Religion and Belief?
September 21, 2008 by
Great Question. Here is my perspective: Most Inspiring: When you see someone that actually lives what they preach. Someone that is an all around great person, nice, loving, caring, and does the right thing because of their belief in God. The good deed that organized religions can do for less fortunate people, and the comfort [...]
If Jesus Was God, Why Did His Followers Call Him Master?
September 21, 2008 by
I view it like this: God has always existed. God can’t be created, not destroyed. He always has been, and always will be. Jesus was the firstborn of all creation. God created Jesus before anything else, and through Jesus all else was created by the commands of God. Jesus is the light (hence, notice in [...]
I Have Cervical Cancer, Do You Think God Will Answer My Prayers?
September 18, 2008 by
This is a very difficult question I seen recently. A person stated that they had cervial cancer, and asked if God would answer their prayer so that they don’t need a 3rd surgery. This was a very sad question, and my heart goes out to this person that is dealing with this. Here was my [...]
Will We Have Jobs in Heaven or the New Earth? Will We Work?
September 18, 2008 by
This is a great question: Will we actually work or have jobs in heaven (or the new earth). I do not think we will have jobs/work/careers in the sense of the way we have them today. We probably won’t have a monetary system or anything like that. However, from the beginning, man has worked. Adam [...]
If Evolution is Correct, Why Aren’t There Still Cavemen or Other Species of Humans?
September 18, 2008 by
We have different species of cats (tigers, pumas, domestic cats, etc.). We have different types/species of dogs, bears, etc. But why is there only one race that can talk, walk, and act HUMAN? We all look the same, only difference is different shades of skin color. That is basically it, and that is produced internally, [...]
If Jesus is God, Then Why Did He Pray to Himself? How Can He Sit at the Right Hand?
September 18, 2008 by
Some people hold the view that Jesus is God. God in the flesh, and that God was Jesus, and Jesus was God. However, some people view Jesus as God’s son, the messiah, the Christ, and the human Savior, but NOT God exactly. Of course, some just see Jesus as an oridnary man, and some doubt [...]
