    The Age of the Universe

    I believe that believing in a young universe is not a requirement for salvation, and I don't think God will bar anyone from entering heaven just because they believe the creation account uses figurative language. Let's take a look at Genesis 2:21-22: 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall...

    I'd never seen them before! I just loved this vocal group! I see in Wikipedia that they are from Bilbao and therefore Spanish is their second language. Let's hear them in their mother tongue (Basque):

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    When I first heard about my current denomination I was amazed at the fact that its ministers were not salaried and I told myself: "This must be perfect church". In my mind all those ministers were absolutely selfless, but overtime I learned that most of them could sell their own mothers to gain...

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    Yes, it is better to pay a salary to a pastor than to have an unpaid minister promoting his books from the pulpit.

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    Your pastor receives a salary and my elder (pastor) does NOT receive a salary. Which one is biblically correct? I think both are correct and it is up to the congregation to decide whether or not the pastor should get paid.

    He quit his job because it was too "worldly" (not compatible with Christian life). Too bad he didn't give ears to Paul, because the apostle says it is important to have means to help the poor. He instead attempted to follow the teachings of Jesus (which were for the Jews, not for us) and gave...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    I'm sure God appreciates your willingness to give away your possessions. Jesus really told the Jews to sell their properties and give alms, and in Acts we see the disciples obeying that commandment. But Paul's teachings are different from Jesus'. Some 30 years ago I had a co-worker who claimed...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    I suggest we don't have to obey some of the teachings of Jesus as, for example; to obey the scribes and the Pharisees; to offer sacrifices; to sell all we have and give alms; etc.
