    Fave verses defending the divinity of Christ.

    Mat 1:22 Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: Mat 1:23 "BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, "GOD WITH US."

    Social anxiety ruining my life

    You might have learned it from your parents. Were they socially anxious? Mine were. Getting ready for a party was panic time. Same thing when someone came to the door.

    Help with decision

    I looked up A+E, and it stands for accident and emergency, a term used in hospitals. He should at least get an x-ray to see if it is healing OK on its own, whatever the wait time. Otherwise it could end up being a life time problem or something that needs surgery.

    The Lord's Prayer

    I completely agree with you. It is also called the "model prayer" and the real Lord's prayer is also sometimes called the "disciples prayer" because so much is for the disciples.

    when you see crazy things politicians do remember Job 12:24-25

    What is Faith?

    But the Word of God in the NT was not written in English. It was written in Greek. You have to go to the Greek to discover the correct meaning.

    What is Faith?

    Hope in the NT is the Greek word elpis which is better translated confident expectation. The way we use hope is English is more of an uncertainty.

    what can one build with bullet proof glass?

    What you have is probably polycarbonate. It is a clear plastic material that is bullet proof. You may see the term "Lexan" which is a brand name for the same thing. I once used a 3/8" thick piece to make a hatch for a boat. You could jump on it or drop an anchor on it and it wouldn't break...

    No hope

    Psa 27:13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Psa 31:22 As for me, I said in my alarm, "I am cut off from before Your eyes"; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried to You. Psa 42:11 Why...

    When did the Church begin?

    People like to think that Christianity started about 2,000 years ago. But actually the Christian faith of believing in the messiah / savior started in the Garden of Eden just after the fall. Gen 3:15 is the first gospel message of a coming savior. As you would expect, God was looking out for...

    The Dark Ages

    Call it the Dark Ages if you like and yes it's getting dark here in the US. But what is amazing is that nothing stops God and the gospel message from getting out to everyone in every generation. As you probably know, persecution of the faith always results in the spread of Biblical...

    Translation issue(s)?

    I am not an expert in Greek, but I have seen many times how a translation is derived by a Greek expert. The same word can have many different meanings so the challenge to the translator is to choose the most appropriate meaning. Grammar and syntax are vital, but the context of the passage...

    Googles AI sentient being…thinks it’s human and has a soul

    I don't believe AI is or should be called a living soul or sentient no matter how it might appear. Only God can create that, as He did with the human race, creating us in the "image and likeness of God." AI is a machine that is just extremely fast, and this is where it gets scary. It can...

    I hate going to church

    The secret to enjoying church is to find one where the pastor knows that his job is to study and teach. If he is doing his job and teaching the Word of God in depth you will not be bored. It is fascinating. The deeper you go in understanding the Word, the deeper your love for God becomes...

    I led him to Christ, what should he do next?

    Encourage him to "grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." For that he will need a good Pastor-Teacher. Perhaps you know of one.

    Differences between Christians and Jehovah's witness.

    JWs do not believe in the deity of Christ, Christians do. JWs do not believe in the trinity, Christians do. JWs think they might be a part of the 144,000 witnesses spoken of in Revelation, but they are not Jewish, for the most part, so this is not possible. In short JWs reject the person and...

    electric cars

    One of the appeals of the electric car is its simplicity. (I would never buy a hybrid car because of its complexity: gas power + electric power + transitional devices. Its like driving around in the space shuttle.) If you are a do it yourselfer, there are kits you can buy to convert certain...

    Feeling God Has Rejected Me

    Bad decisions lead to bad consequences and limit options. Confess your sins to the Lord. (1 John 1:9) Start making good decisions that line up with what you know to be the will of God. Study the scriptures (find a good pastor). Believe the scriptures. Apply what you know to your life. You...
