    How many reasons did the Lord give for divorce?

    The Bible specifies two acceptable reasons for divorce: abandonment of a Christian by an unbelieving spouse (1 Corinthians 7:15) and adultery (Matthew 5:32). If abuse or other issues are going on that risk your life or against the law as in some abuse scenarios, it should be reported to the...

    Dealing with possible depression

    Remember it isnt what we bring, offer, or do that provides ourselves salvation. Christ did it all so that we may be forgiven and justified. Your mistakes do not define you. Your sin doesn't define you. Your weakness doesn't define you. Only Christ the one has saved you. There is no sin too...

    demonic attack

    I would say it could be less, proportionate, or more if God allows it. We must remember just as Jesus commanded the demons to leave the pig, He also told Satan what he could or couldn't do to Job. Now why does God allow less, same, or more aligns with why does God allows evil. Why despite His...

    i think i have a codependency issue with my mom

    Hey there again. So first and foremost. Lay the right foundation. Ask what would God think? Our standard comes from the Bible's guidance. If you are weighed by guilt. Then ask why. If it is sin, simply turn away from it and walk with the Lord once more. He has paid for your sin. You are free...

    Eisegesis — Injecting Poison into the Bible

    But that still doesn't answer which part of Matt 28:19 doesn't apply to the church? It was indeed spoken to the disciples but was the message taught by the disciples in all of their letters?

    Can we experience curses today?

    Dear Jane, I understand as I battle anxiety. It can be severe some time with causing pain or blacking out in a severe panic episode. Spiritual oppression is real for the Christian but you must understand two things. The demonic cannot occupy the same space as the Holy Spirit and a curse was...

    Eisegesis — Injecting Poison into the Bible

    I mean I do love the fact that this extra Biblical content still has positive Biblical guidance for those who have experienced these problems. Even though the event wasn't recorded, they still provide quality Biblical guidance.

    Understanding prophets

    I believe we can learn from the disciples. Some of the OT prophecies were obvious and people like Peter knew that Jesus was the Messiah. While others were not so obvious and came to pass later as in Jesus on the cross. For the non-obvious, it is more of a wait-and-see. Take what is clear and...

    Eisegesis — Injecting Poison into the Bible

    It is true that each Chosen episode has a disclaimer saying it is entertainment. I'm okay with that but the problem as you mentioned comes in for those who don't read the Bible or study it in detail. This is why I have been telling people to read the New Testament before watching any media...

    Can we experience curses today?

    Despite the derailment. For the readers do not get entangled by the fear of curses or that somehow you have fallen into condemnation/ the judgment curses. You are made causeless under the atonement of Christ. Proverbs 26:2b (ESV) 2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying...

    Eisegesis — Injecting Poison into the Bible

    So true. This stuff bugs me. I can't stand the storytelling type that adds the feelings, thoughts, or probably this happened. Sorta like how the tv series The Chosen added dramatized background info. I get it, they want to make the characters more real and relatable but it gives a false sense of...

    Can we experience curses today?

    Not even what I said. I was asking you what curse do you still believe you are under in relation to salvation. If you read you would see that. It had nothing of an attack. But I can see this is immaturity and toxic. I'll respond to others. 😃

    Can we experience curses today?

    I guess you are talking about the fall as a curse. Context would have me ask are you saved presently or not?

    Can we experience curses today?

    Wrong. Do you realize how much pagan practices was going on at the time. Do you remember Elijah and the prophets of Baal? He just laughed at them. No true power in false gods. Balaam was just like these false prophets. He put on a good show. Actually it us you that teaches hurt. If Christ paid...

    Can we experience curses today?

    Again categorical error. I defined my subject as Curses- consequences for disobedience to God’s commands or for sinning against Him.

    Can we experience curses today?

    So it really has me wondering what curses still affect you that Christ has not redeemed you from?
