They’re not dead… Luke 20 “But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.” we do pray to God like...

They’re not dead, Luke 20:37-38 “But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.”

It’s absolutely not that Jesus isn’t good enough for us. We’re not saying God isn’t good enough when we pray through saints. It’s like when you ask a friend to pray for you. That’s not saying God isn’t good enough when you do that. And that still wouldn’t replace praying to Jesus, it’s just a...

We don’t just “pray” to Mary, we pray to all the angels and saints. It’s like asking your friends to pray for you. And who is would more easily get your prayer to God besides those close to him in heaven! And this isn’t at all like a replacement for prayer or acting like God cannot answer the...

I think your question itself is weirdly phrased. Do you mean intelligent life? Cause humans have only evolved here. Humans originate from earth, we evolved here, God made us here.

Okay so this is coming from a non typical perspective on this site, I’m a Catholic. I’m absolutely not trying to convert you, I know Protestants think only belief is enough. We believe in belief, but also repentance and staying in communion with the Lord. I think regardless of what you believe...

Okay so I’m reading through numbers right now, and we keep going back to the fact that a fitting sin offering is a goat. And since Jesus is also technically a sin offering on behalf of our sins, why do we call him the Lamb of God? Isn’t he kind of the Goat of God? Lol dumb question but I’m curious

Oh sorry I’m unclear. Is he telling people not to get married?? Or that marriage distances people from God?

25 Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy. 26 Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is. 27 Are you pledged to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Are you free from such a...

Thanks Eli!

Haha this scared me for a minute- I’d forgotten I’d posted these details abt my life! First I want to thank for for giving such a thoughtful reply, but also out of curiousity I wanted to know why you’d recommend not reading the Old Testament until I’m a bit older? :)

I absolutely understand the irony of it- how the previous Pharaoh killed all the Jewish male babies. Though morally this is confusing me…

So I’m finishing up Genesis right now and something struck me as a little strange. Jacob/Israel made Joseph’s son his heir and Judah was not. But from Judah’s tribe comes David, and a long time later Jesus. But Judah wasn’t the heir? Am I reading too much into this? lol but if there is a reason...

“He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.” (KJV Proverbs 10:18). If you dislike a person and act kind towards them or as if you like them, is that then hypocrisy? I don’t want to encourage conflict or tensions with that person, so why would it be wrong to...

Yeah but we aren’t God, I’m talking more about anger amongst humans. It’s hard to conceptualize us with righteous anger, because unlike Jesus we don’t know perfectly what is right. I don’t know, this is just why I’m sort of on the fence with this passage, though I totally agree with what you’re...

I have on bibleref. I am confused because Christ says anger is wrong, and then it seems like it is encouraged in other passages.

So in the sermon on the mount Jesus says “But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire” (ESV Matthew 5:22). But in Psalms and...

You guys were so helpful last time, so I was wondering if you could help explain this verse. What he means by “first fruits” and also what it means to be born by the “word of truth”. Thanks!

I’m getting my permit rn, but my dad is Christian too so he def wouldn’t be against driving me there
