    Literature that is inspired by God

    The Bible itself says that God inspired it: 2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 2Ti 3:17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. Elements of the truth can be...

    Christian Mysticism

    How is the experience of your mysticism related to you understanding of the Bible? Which one guides your life? The answer should tell you how true it is. God uses his Word, the Bible, to help us grow spiritually (2 Timothy 3:16-17). 2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable...

    Moses wrote Genesis?

    Jewish scholars in ancient times were convinced that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, and that endorsement is good enough for me. The more important belief is that Genesis and the other books are God's Word inspired by him for our understanding of him, his history, and his will for...

    Going up to people to share the Gospel

    That unbiblical statement is judging people for not sharing the gospel with strangers and is wrong. We need, however, to be open to opportunities God gives us with neighbors, co-workers, and others God puts near us to become friends with them, not their lifestyles. And when God guides us, we...

    Was Moses resurrected?

    Jud 1:9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.” To say that that verse says that Moses was resurrected is reading into the text meaning that is not...

    Grace Unpacked

    Why do you define it from a secular dictionary, which usually gives the culture's meanings, not the Bible's? Since the whole Bible is God's Word, we need to define its words the ways that the rest of the Bible itself defines them. For example, grace is a free acceptance of people by God and us...

    out of curiosity ...

    The Bible makes no distinctions among the races, since it calls us to avoid favoritism among them and classes.

    Adam and Eve

    Self-centered rebellion against their Creator's rulership, and all humans have followed their lead unless Jesus rescues them.

    Christ's Instructions

    A pleasant journey to you too! The Four Spiritual Laws were for seekers, not believers to call then to trust in Jesus. Or you could recommend that new followers read the New Testament over and over again. They should also read the Old Testament as background to the New Testament, because it...

    In the year of drought it is not anxious

    Yes, it has along with Habakkuk 3: Hab 3:17 Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, Hab 3:18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take...

    The unrepentant taking communion?

    No, before Communion, our pastor qualifies the partakers by saying that only those who are sorry for their sins and trust only in Jesus for forgiveness, or words to that effect, should partake of the bread and juice.

    Old Testament laws

    They all apply to Christians, but none of them do. Let me explain. Jesus' death did away with the external, national forms of the laws like clean and unclean foods. However, the inner principles or ideas of those same laws carry over to the New Testament like Jesus' equation of lust with...

    What do we tell unsaved about biblical election?

    Why should we bring up the idea of election at all, unless the unsaved ask about it? The chances of that happening are zero. Such teaching comes much later as they grow as believers.

    Do you think ...?

    What would keep me from converting to Catholicism is that church's establishment of a separate tradition that isn't supported by the Scriptures like the ideas about Mary and praying to her and the saints. I understand that the church replaced a pagan Queen of Heaven with Mary at its beginning...

    The Character or Form of God

    Why were you drawn to a Greek philosopher's teachings instead to to Jesus' teachings and to the whole Bible? Why is Plato so important to you?

    It was his choice; we don't need to question it.

    15 Biblical "Sins" You're Totally Free To Commit

    Some of those "sins" on that website are actual sins against God, for example, number eight about sex, which allows "intimate, consentual sex whether or not you're married" ignore God's commands, "You shall not commit adultery" (Old Testament) and "Flee sexual immorality" (New Testament), which...

    How can demons tempt us to sin?

    The demons show us the tempting world and use our own sinful, self-centered natures to tempt us. We need to claim Jesus' victory over them through persistent prayer to the Father to be able to gain his power to reject their temptations as James commands us and gives us a promise in 4:7, "Resist...

    How easy is it to pray for someone you can't stand?

    It's never easy, but we can if we take God's viewpoint that they are God's creations and therefore worthy of our respect as fellow creatures.

    Be angry and do not sin

    Sin is self-centeredness. Therefore, when we oppose some action or idea 100% to honor God with no selfish motives at all, that's when Paul's description is fulfilled. But it requires the command because we are seldom righteously angry.
