    The crusades

    Great reply. War against flesh and blood does not exemplify what Jesus came to do. He said He came not to condemn the world but to save it. As followers of Jesus, we are to wage war, but not with strength of arm. Jeremiah 29 states that those who trust in man and the flesh of his arm are cursed...

    Trinity

    This verse says more than what you have stated. It is more than Jesus simply stating that He has a God. He states that He is going to return to the Father..."to my God, and your God." Jesus is God in the flesh. The flesh is was created. It was made and knit together I the womb of Mary. God did...

    Does God forgives sins

    You say you do not believe in Hell. May I then ask if you believe in the Bible? If you believe in the Bible this is good, but do not take from it what you like and dismiss the rest. If there is no Hell, then why is there the judgement? If there is a judgement, then what happens those who are...

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    You asked, What is the point of being a prophet...what good is it to tell people of the future? I must ask you, What do you believe a prophet is? Yes, prophecy does entail prophecy of future events, but that is not what prophecy is. Prophecy is the proclamation of what God has told you to say...

    Is the Apostle John still alive?

    I highly doubt John is still alive in the flesh. It would be hard for a man to be over 2000 years old and no one take note of this. It is more probable that Jesus spoke of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which quickens our spirit into everlasting life. This spirit cannot die for it drinks...

    I REGRET WATCHING PORN I'M IN CRISIS HELP

    Thank you for your bravery. It is not easy to openly speak of this subject. First, I would like to let you know that you are not the first, nor will you be the last to experience such things. Satan will use anything and everything to lead us away from God. "Idle hands are the devil's...

    Converting

    I am a Baptist Preacher. I understand the fear you must feel for leaving the teachings of your family. The Bible states we are to honor our father and mother, and it can be hard to be honoring to them while telling them that you are not following their faith based beliefs. I would suggest you...

    Teen modesty....

    I have had this discussion with many teens and mothers of teens lately. Many today let the trends of the day set what is acceptable daily wear. Yet our Lord tells us that we are to be set apart from the ways of the world. This includes how we dress. The Hebrew people were even given a strict...

    Society as a whole has a deep hatred for anything teenage girls like, why?

    Is this true? Growing up as a boy I wondered why everyone mocked my interests too. I was not in to odd ball things. I liked, what I later learned, most young boys liked. It just wasn't what those around me liked. With social media and overt bullying that is running rampant on the internet...

    Does God forgives sins

    This is a great question. Why did Jesus have to suffer and die to forgive our sins? The answer is not in the forgiveness of sin, but in the need to pay the debt for the sin. We incur a debt when we sin. Every sin incurs the same debt. It is death...eternal destruction...endless death, for the...

    How do you know if you have truly forgiven someone?

    Hello Redcars. Forgiveness is a tricky thing. Jesus tells us to forgive or we cannot be forgiven. But then are all people forgiven of their sins? Of course they are not. Why would our God command us to do what He does not do? To answer this we must understand what God is not saying, as well as...

    Afraid of the Holy Spirit?

    Hello Burn1986. You mentioned repeating the name of Jesus over and over again in prayer and waiting for His presence. May I ask what scripture backs this advice? I am aware of the scripture which states ask and it will be answered u to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be...

    Afraid of the Holy Spirit?

    Hello blueluna. You have mentioned being very spiritual, dreams, astral projection, ect. Much of what you speak about has a New Age vibe to it. May I ask you where you learned of these things? Over the years I have heard many speak of being very spiritually minded, and yet they have learned most...

    Questions about Christianity

    Thank you for your question about the two main groups of Christianity. I would like to begin by stating that your understanding falls short of a true understanding of Christianity. The word Christian came into being at the church of Antioch. It simply means " little Christ". This term came into...

    My Favorite Verse from the Quran (so far)

    Question: Can God lie or speak falsehood? If the Holy Bible and the Quran are placed side by side, do they not speak against each other? Does not Jesus state that no man can come to the Father but through Him? You Stat that it is sad that there are those who are intent on maintaining an unholy...

    Culture Clashes

    Please forgive me. I am not an Arab. However. I read your post and as a fellow Christian and brother in Christ I wanted to reach out. I have visited a few other countries who have vastly different cultures than my own. While the differences were noticeable, they quickly dissipated in the midst...

    Pastoral requirements

    I have read and thought about your post and have come to wonder what it is that you were trying to express. Is it a lack of higher education, a lack of oversight, a lack of something else? Many have pointed to 1 Timothy 3 for the qualifications of a pastor. Yet, in your response it appears that...

    Did Jesus Die on The Cross for The Just/Elect/Saved Whose Names Are Written in The Book of Life OR

    Is God just? Is it just to punish someone one for a debt that has been paid? You make a good point with you questions. However, I believe you may be understanding this inaccurately. If you owe 200k on a house and a man comes to town to pay the mortgage for all in the area if they will simply...
