    Who has the best singing voice you have heard yourself?

    I was watching this video where Barbara Streisand performed live about 30 years ago in Las Vegas. I thought to myself that she has got to be the most talented singer I have ever heard. Who has the best singing voice you have heard yourself?

    Looking for a church home

    I did join a Baptist church right before the pandemic happened, but have never been satisfied with it. The music isn't that good and the pastor tends to be repetitive. I grew up Methodist but switched to Baptist around the age of 18. I've tried numerous other churches in the area and can't...

    Moses wrote Genesis?

    I have heard two or three times recently that Moses supposedly wrote Genesis. Besides tradition, what is the evidence that this is true? Does it matter to you that it is or not Moses who wrote it? I think it just as likely that it is someone that we don't even know the name of or that...

    calling on God's name

    The passage that was talked about today in church in scripture is in Genesis 12:8 where it says that Abram called upon the name of the Lord. the whole passage from the sermon was Genesisi 12:5-20. This is what verse 8 says: 8 "From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched...

    class on difference denominations

    More and more I am feeling like perhaps my beliefs don't align that well with the Baptist faith that I have been a part of for the last 38 years. I am thinking about swithing, but not sure if I should go non denominational or something else. I am a little leery of going to a non...

    Corinthian church

    I've been studying on my own 1 Corinthians since March of this year. I go verse by verse and look at the original language. One thing that seems clear is that this church had an enormous amount of problems and division and immaturity. Yet, Paul still says early on in his letter some very...

    creation story

    Have you ever wondered why the creation story of heaven and earth is so short in the Bible? Only the first two chapters cover the creation of basically everything we know. I was looking at verse 24 of chapter 1 of Genesis and it says that God said "Let the land produce living creatures. . ...

    Animals for sacrifices

    I was reading the early part of Leviticus and it was talking about the burnt offering of goats and bulls for the consecration ceremony for Aaron and his sons. It also mentioned the sacrifices the people were to bring for sin and wave and fellowship offerings. I am wondering where these animals...

    Mt.Sinai or Mt.Horeb?

    I noticed that in some places scripture seems to refer to the same mountain as either Mt.Sinai or Mt.Horeb? I was wondering if anyone on here had any thoughts about why it is calling the same place two different names?

    the purpose of the book of Judges

    What do you think is the purpose or relevance of the book of Judges today. Seems like to me it is a very bloody book with a lot of needless killing. For example, Jephthah makes a vow that if he is successful in battle he will sacrifice the first thing that comes out of his house. This man had...

    Understanding God's will in a decision

    I am trying to make a decision about my church home and if I should stay at the church I joined before the pandemic started. A part of me feels like it is not really meeting my needs or beneficial for me to continue going there, but I am not aware of where I would go that would be better. I...

    policy about entering U.S. vaccinated

    Apparently one of the world's greatest tennis players cannot compete in the U.S. Open this year due to his refusal to be vaccinated. Apparently it is U.S. policy that any foreign travelers have to be fully vaccinated in order to get visa and enter the country. Do you think this is a fair and...

    what would have happened?

    Two thoughts that ran through my mind today. What if Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden but Adam didn't eat the fruit? What if they both ate from the tree of life first and then the tree of knowledge? How could they live forever if when sin entered the world death did also?

    2 Timothy 3:1-7

    3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, [a]haters of good, 4...

    Mental Health services

    I am wondering what your opinion is of the mental health services for either adults or children or both in the area where you live? I have worked in mental health over the last 14 years in the US and feel like there are still areas where it can be improved on. Seems like every time there is a...

    Bible Study Resources

    I was wondering what everyone uses for bible study resources when you study the Bible on your own? Or if you study the Bible on your own? I have used the Blue Letter Bible site and studylight.org mainly. I got some commentaries recently from a library sale that were published by Cokesbury...

    How people change

    I don't know if any of you have seen the videos of BJ Foggs and his talk about Tiny Habits, but I have recommended it several times lately to clients. He talks about making small changes, pairing it with a prompt or something you already do to help prompt or remind you to do the new habit and a...

    Why was Abraham tested?

    In Genesis 22 it says that the Lord told Abraham to take Isaac and go to the region of Moriah and the sacrifice him there as a burnt offering. In verse 1 it says the Lord tested Abraham. It may seem like a simple question, but since God knows everything then why did God need to test Abraham at...

    thinking about sitting out church for a while

    I have been really dissatisfied with the church I joined last year. I know that covid19 is going around and there has to be social distancing, but I have never found a place in the church I attend to serve even though I have asked about it. I don't know what other church in my area to go to...
