There are some people who call themselves paranormal investigators who go to graveyards to try and communicate with the dead. They use different devices that they downloaded on their phone to try and help with communication. I believe it says in the Old Testament that we are not suppose to...

what do you think about Trump's idea of reopening Alcatraz. It sounds like basically they would have to tear down most of it and it currently brings in millions of dollars in tourist money tps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trumps-call-reopen-alcatraz-prison-stymied-roadblocks-rcna204860

In Genesis 19:26 it says that Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back at Sodom and Gomorrah when the Lord destroyed these cities. Jesus seemed to indicate in Luke 17:28-32 Jesus indicated that this was an actual historical event and not just an analogy. I am wondering why...

How do you deal with unwanted spam calls either by a robocaller or live person? I have been getting a lot of spam calls to the point I am considering changing my phone number. They aren't political calls which would make sense this time of year, but they say they are calling about medicare...

I've been watching the class lectures on Proverbs on biblicaltraining.com site and Bruce Waitke talks about Proverbs 1-9 and how Solomon contrasts wisdom who he personifies as a woman and the adulterous woman. Solomon warns his son to stay away from the wayward woman and to follow his...

I'm a little confused. In Matthew when Jesus is resurrected he tells the disciples to go to Galilee and there he will meet with them Matthew 28:10 and it says they did so in Matthew 28:16. Matthew has Jesus giving his disciples the Great Commission in Galilee, but doesn't specifically mention...

Pixar has a new movie out called Inside Out 2 which is an animated movie about the emotions that one girl has and how they interact inside of her. I think the first movie was better than the second, but it was still pretty good. I noticed that anxiety played a big part in this movie and...

There has been talk of Biden dropping out of the Presidential race since he did so poorly in the last debate and possibly being replaced by Harris or someone else. What do you think? Will he quit this Presidential race? Should he? I didn't watch the debate and am not planning to vote, but if...

I was looking at Matthew 28 and I haven't ever thought of this before, but I wondered to myself why Matthew was so brief in telling the story of the resurrection? There are only 20 verses in Matthew and about the same in Mark, but Luke and John add things to the story that the other two don't...

I've been studying the book of Matthew since last Christmas and one thing I noticed is how many times the phrase "the kingdom of heaven" is used. In fact, John the Baptist was telling people to repent for the kingdom of heaven was near in Matthew 3:2 and then Jesus says the same thing in his...

I am most likely going to have to make a decision in the next week or two and there may be several options (all of them pretty good ones). I want to do God's will in this decision and have been spending time in prayer daily about it. I'm just afraid that I will do what I want instead of what...

I don't really watch many movies these days. It seems every time I look all their are is horror movies or things I wouldn't want to waste my time watching. Who is your favorite actor or actress? I do like Tom Hanks

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?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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. . ...

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...
