Luke 11 verses 24- 26. I could do with clarification please. Does this mean a man cleansed of an evil spirit is actually more at risk of much worse?

In Luke Chapter 4, verses 1 - 13. We are told Jesus is taken to a high mountain, also to Jerusalem onto a pinnacle of the temple. Were these visions, through hunger and thirst or are we to believe literal events? It is not stated. On a separate point, 40 days without food is surely impossible...

Who says sickness is to our benefit? There are Christians who think this, that we ought to be grateful for our afflictions and find in them lessons God is teaching us . In the writings of the Rev JR Miller which overall I like, yet I do not agree with him that sicknesses are blessings. My major...

I had an attack last night. As I slept, some invisible powerful entity got in bed behind me and I could hear its breath in my ear. It felt chilling, evil and menacing. I immediately focused on crying out the name of Lord Jesus several times to help me. After just a moment it disappeared and I...

I usually know if someone is a true follower of Christ. They are and should be very different. I hope it shows from me and how I conduct myself. Not in a pious 'holier than thou' sanctimonious manner, never that, I hope. I know preachy people like that and I try never to be as they are. It is in...

Luke chapter 1 verse 36. If the mothers Elizabeth and Mary were cousins, what relationship were their sons? I've always gotten very confused about such questions,!

In Mark Chapter 15, verses 51 to 52, who was the young man who fled naked as Jesus was arrested? I never even read that before I am now reading in my KJ Bible.

Mark chapter 12, verses 28 to 35. It is a scribe, maybe a humble but certainly very perceptive man, who has this most important conversation. He it is that has watched the Sadducees trying to trick Jesus and when nobody is listening, I imagine, he discreetly comes to Jesus and asks him a vital...

This is what I presume non- believer's do but Christians do not. Death to an atheist must be a full stop, nothing at all afterwards. Death as meaningless, therefore life the same? Like a machine once switched on then off. A bleak view indeed. Jesus Christ transformed the point of death into...

In Mark Chapter 8. Verses 14 to 21. Just like the disciples, I simply do not understand what Jesus meant. He talks of the leavened of the Pharisees and of Herod, then about the numbers of loaves with which the thousands were fed. Could someone please clarify this for me.

In Mark Chapter 7, V10 - 12. What does Jesus mean? It is about honouring one's parents. I think it is the difference between the law of Moses and the interpretation by the Pharisees of how to respect parents. Yet I find it hard to decipher.

In Mark Chapter 6 verses 52 it says the disciples 'considered not' the miracle of the loaves: for their hearts were hardened'. What is the meaning and connotation of this? It seems incredible that they were not impressed by the feeding of the 5000.

In Mark Chapter 6, verses 17 - 18 John the Baptist had told King Herod he couldn't marry his brother's wife. How was that ever unlawful? Assuming his brother was dead. Why was John interfering with the king's matters anyway? Seems a shame to die for such a matter. Just clarify please.

Please pray for me. Increasingly I am overwhelmed with anger about everything and everyone. I don't want to be like this and would never harm anyone. Unfortunately that means it is all inside, making me more and more unwell. The anger and resentment is about all sorts of reasons over a long...

I say look carefully at what outcome and how you pray, the wording and reasoning is vital. There are people embittered because they feel God does not listen and does not give them what they want. Is that not arrogant? Where is humility? Do these same people thank God with fervent prayers when...

Reading Mark ch 3, Verses 1 to 6 about Jesus healing a man's hand on the Sabbath, it occurred to me that it seems only Christ did any actual healing and on a grand scale too. The Pharisees didn't. So in those times who actually did any? There were a lot of possessed, blind, sick, leprous folks...

In Mark Chapter 1 we read of Jesus healing the sick and casting out devil's and unclean spirits for a LOT of people. In verse 33 we read that 'all the city was gathered at the door' of where He was staying. So it can be assumed each healing was very quick, just a word accomplished it. I want to...

I have found it has to be me and the Bible alone together. All distractions removed, the babble of the world is irrelevant. In my case it is the King James Bible. By reading daily, studying short sections and thinking about the meaning, researching as needed, I am finding good results and...

Many preachers, however sincere and knowledgeable, fail to get the message of the gospels through. Always have done. From being absolutely boring to far too fire and brimstone, they just do not engage people. I can see how non-believers are put off completely when someone drones on or even...

.. also for yourself. A question for Christian men, do you value purity in the woman you marry? In this cynical age we live in, does it affect your decision to marry her if you find out your woman has had other partners? The other way around, do you as a woman keep yourself for the man who you...
