I'm very interested in the history of the events that led to the establishment of the Abrahamic beliefs (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) because I would like to suss out if any of the goals of our progenitors were realized. Some religious folk and some Archeologists believe that the Garden of...

Gen. 6:2 Sons of God Matt 3:17 This is my Son My question is: are the words Sons and Son, the same word in the original text? The Matt text being much more recent, and the Genesis text being from the earliest text that we have. Here might lie a need for interpretation from a Scholar. I do have...

I see obedience demanded in a woman throughout the Bible. It is in the Qur'an Surah 4:34. Do these works call for absolute obedience, or is there a burden on the male also to not be overbearing and mean?

Being from America, I was not aware how one sided and conceited American History is. In my seven years of deep emersion in Arab Muslim Culture, I learned that they have their own take on history.

In my area in NW Oregon, USA, we've seen heat and drought not seen in my almost 70 years in the area. Wildfires are producing hazardous breathing conditions all over the West. My prayers to those who are suffering. Are we experiencing the approach of the End of Days?

I remember a Saudi friend of mine sharing "No Woman No Drive" (YouTube) years ago, before Women were allowed to drive there. He was a dear friend of mine. If I were 40 years younger, I would have married him. Blessings to him, where ever he is.

I'm seeing people act completely insane over all this and it seems so futile. Look at the Pandemic after wwI, then called the Spanish Flu. Looking at Wiki, 50.000,000 people died from it. Presently, it looks like between 4 and 5,000,000 have died. Some professionals are saying it will be over by...

I was ignorant when I came here. I wanted to study scripture calmly and in love and never dreamed that denominational Christians would lash out at me with such vehemence. There has been enough of that in my life and that is put away. There are hateful things that could be said about any group...

I believe that the NT Acts permission is overworked but am uncertain where to draw the lines. I'm comfortable with pierced ears. (a single one) and used to have a nose ring but let that go. I see that in certain sects of Judaism, the women either cover their hair or wear a scarf. I can't...

There are lots of scriptures about that in the Bible.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 KJV - King James Version 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, ... Privately, I believe we are experiencing "great falling away", and are are approaching the end. Part...

I was not raised in a Christian home, and endured horrific abuse. In my late 20s I read a book called "The Late Great Planet Earth". I still have a copy of it. I was extremely hostile about Religion and very angry. So, one Saturday I decided to read that book and prove in my own mind that...

Wow! It is amazingly generous that citizens of that country would host a Christian web site.

I understand that the book was written in more than one part and perhaps had more than one author. Is it seen as reliable?

Prov. 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. I am not sure how to reconcile the difference between this passage and walking humbly beside God in Micah 6:8.

In the past, I've just read this and not understanding it, passed it up. Does this mean that God likes Cattlemen, and not Farmers? I've heard others confidently offer explanations that made no more sense to me.

After almost two years of isolation due to Covid, it feels comfortable being an introvert. INFP for those interested.

Speaking as an unaffiliated Biblical Academic who has not been in a church for over a year, any study of Scripture is self motivated or driven by God. Daniel 10:13 is fascinating to me. Some Scholars theorize that the Garden of Eden was either in Southern Iraq or South in the Persian Gulf. I'm...

Hello: I'm a Biblical Academic and dislike the buzzwords so prevalent in religious study. I believe in God and Jesus the Christ but am unsure if we actually know who the Holy Spirit is. I suppose I'm loosely a non-Trinitarian but please don't get too excited about that. I came here to study, not...
