    My dog is having an operation tomorrow

    I'm really worried about him because he's really old, and he will need to have a general anesthetic to get some teeth removed. Please pray that he will be ok. His name is Jerry.

    I need an answer about this

    This might sound stupid - but its something thats been holding back my faith for months. My faith was pretty strong until about October last year, then I started having doubts. My faith got weaker and weaker until a few weeks ago. In October, I went through a period of intense anger - I got...

    Why doesn't God speak to His people anymore?

    I look through the pages of the bible and can't help thinking that its unfair that some people in the bible had such clear revelations of God. Jacob, Moses, Paul, Adam, Mary. These people were spoken to directly, by God. Or by angels. Or were given visions. God has never spoken to me, at least...

    "Problems with Acts". What do you guys think?

    Acts 5:33-39 gives an account of speech by the first century Pharisee Gamaliel, in which he refers to two movements other than the Way. One lead by Theudas (v 36) and after him led by Judas the Galilean. Josephus placed Judas about 6 AD. He places Theudas under the procurator Fadus 44-46 AD. Two...

    Did Peter really write 2 Peter?

    I'm hoping to get some input from those who have studied theology about the genuineness of the second epistle of Peter. Everything I read about the authorship of this epistle claims something like "Virtually all biblical scholars agree that 2 Peter is pseudographical..." or "of all the NT...

    Will a mass conversion among Jews signal the end of the world?

    Good evening. :) I'm searching for the meaning of Romans 11:15, and there is more than one view. For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? Some say that this means that when the Jewish nation finally accepts Christ...
