Why Did People Live So Long in the Old Testament?

My guess is a more pure genetic code, less radiation in the atmosphere, and better diets. Of course, if they could have kept eating the tree of life, they could have kept living indefinitely. Apparently God created the perfect food that would keep our bodies from breaking down, and completely stop aging and free radicals. [...]

A Quick Religious/Christian Review of Batman: The Dark Knight Movie

I think the Dark Knight was a pretty good movie (not the best in the world, but worth the watch). It is filled with action, some violence, and contains a lot of instances with struggle of good and evil. Some common good versus evil themes are: I guess just a classic good verses evil storyline. [...]

When Did Dinosaurs Exist? What Does the Bible Say About Dinosaurs?

Okay, I will explain them. They are really big, with big teeth (okay that was a joke). No, I believe they probably existed around the same time as humans, as many creationists think. This is because of a few passages in the Bible (book of Job), where a large creature is being described that fits [...]

How Do You Keep Your Faith in Times of Despair?

I believe in God (I guess you can say I am Christian-I really don’t have a denomination). It is funny you asked that, because right now I am going through a rough time. The thing I have noticed in my life (and one of the biggest things I want to correct), is that whenever I [...]

Why Did God Make Foods That Are Unhealthy Taste So Good?

God actually did make good food taste good. Have you ever tried kiwi fruit, cantelope, watermelon, apples, strawberries, blueberries, etc. Or a delicious steak, or chicken. They all taste great to me, and are healthy as long as you eat it in the proper proportions. Foods today taste good, and yet are bad, because money [...]

What Do You Think About Richard Dawkins?

He is probably a brilliant scientists who strongly opposes religion, but at the same time is not really better than religioius people. What do I mean by that? What I mean is it all comes down to belief. We can’t prove whether God does or does not exist, so therefore we all have to place [...]

What Does Ecclesiastes Mean: The Dead Know Nothing?

It means the dead body decomposes and knows nothing. Personally, I believe when we die, our bodies decompose, but our souls go back to the God that gave it. We die, and even though time continues on this earth, the very next thing we experience after the point of death is being awakened by God [...]

What is the Difference Between the Old Testament and New Testament?

First, Old Testament is the collection of books in the Bible that cover the beginning of time up through the point in history before Jesus came (actually a few hundred years before he came). The new testament focuses on the life of Jesus, and what happened after it. As far as your question about needing [...]

What Does Coveting Your Neighbor’s Wife or Belongings Mean?

Coveting generally means an excessively strong desire for other people’s property. In other words, to sit and constantly dwell on wanting what is everyone else’s is wrong, and really gets you nowhere in life. In fact, if you continue on that path, it will proabably lead to another “sin” such as theft, or lying, or [...]

Can You Prove There is a God? Can Atheists Prove There is Not?

Something people often think about, including me. I do believe in God, however, we all know that you cannot prove God’s existence, or prove that God doesn’t exist. In truth, we all have to make a choice based on evidence. We don’t have the complete picture, and we weren’t there at the beginning of time, [...]

How Many Animals Did Noah Have on the Ark? Could They Fit?

There is no way to know exactly how many animals Noah did have on the ark, but it could have been in the thousands. So could Noah really fit that many on the ark, or is it just a make believe (fake) story? I consider the flood story to be a true account of history. [...]

Why Did God Create Humans? Why Are We Here on Earth? What is Our Purpose?

We all have a purpose in life, in fact we have several. One purpose is to either accept God or reject it. Another purpose is to find what you enjoy doing in life (something that you really enjoy), and doing that for a living. Another purpose is to be a loving and kind friend/family member/husband [...]

Is Passion Considered a Sin? Is it Wrong to Be Passionate?

No passion isn’t a sin, and temptation isn’t even a sin. Even Jesus had temptation and the Bible teaches he never sinned. However, over-lusting in your heart can be a sin, and giving in to sinful passions can be considered a sin. But there are many passions that are perfectly normal, and actually healthy and [...]

How is a Christian Supposed to Act? When is a Christian Spiritually Mature?

To sum it up in a short answer, you become more like Christ. God’s ultimate goal is for us to follow His commands, love Him with all our heart and all our soul, and love others as we love ourselves. Christ did all of this. He is our example of how to treat others, and [...]

Will Everyone During Resurrection and Judgement Be Born Again?

The people that are resurrected aren’t born again. We are simply raised for judgement. As you said, it will be both good and bad people. After that, God will judge according to their life and his laws, and acceptence and forgiveness. Do you have to be born again? In the sense that you live one [...]
