Thanks presidente, for your question about sex. I would say that it is valuable and relevant to most persons to discuss sex questions and Christianity and probably should be done more on Christian Chat. However, it is such a nebulous and convoluted issue that it could also prove difficult to get...

Yes, I went through a crisis when my long-time girlfriend (whom I loved) left me, and at the same time I had just gotten out of school and didn't know what direction to go in life and with what seemed like very few resources, I was without any inner strength those days to go on. For some reason...

It is best to use the KJV in my opinion: "I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between...

"He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven." These...

People do abuse others in ways that are very sad, sometimes in ways that are obviously wrong and sometimes in subtle wrong ways. But if it makes you angry at least you are angry at the wrong. Nevertheless healing is in overcoming and being made whole. Jesus, cares so much that he can make a...

Someone has mentioned: "This is where things get murky and I believe alot of confusion comes in. Actually the greek word Baptizo. from whence the english word baptize comes from. Means to be submerged. Ir immersed. or placed into. It can also mean to be overwhelmed." Here is what I found as...

In my view that depends on what you mean by literal. Christ literally took the sins of his own upon himself, so we are buried with him in that sense. In the sense that he literally took our death upon himself. Further, he literally was raised from the dead. Born again believers take part in his...

Sons of God means true believers: "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."

Thanks Melach for asking questions. Always good to do so. I am no expert, but I will try a bit of an off the cuff answer. Here's the KJV: "When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee...

This seems to be just another way to say whoever believes in Jesus will be saved but whoever does not believe will not be saved. Here comes Jesus offering himself to the world to heal and forgive and to love and to save, and from God, but if someone rejects the offer and does not believe he is...

Thanks for your comment. I find it interesting that very few people have mentioned the word 'keep' in this discussion. I think if we asked people, we would find the term 'keep' means different things to different people. For example, did God mean keep in the sense that we are to attend ritual...

Thanks for the question Runningman. "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." How is it that the sabbath is a shadow? It is a shadow because it...

Hi, thanks Marilyn. Rather than calling them those two things with the word 'heaven', I would personally just call them: 1. the earth's atmosphere and 2. outer space. God seems to have been from everlasting, and so always was and is and is to come. Where he was and is and is to come seems to...

Or perhaps better to describe the fall of Satan from heaven as God defeated Satan by the blood and and Satan lost his power in the realm of those who have God on the throne in their hearts.

Thanks Marilyn for your question. When the Bible says to let Christ dwell in your hearts, he lives in our hearts by his Spirit. When the Bible says that Jesus is a messenger, an angel, or an archangel it is using that terminology. I suppose you could say that the messenger, Christ, lives in the...

Thanks Marilyn for your comment. The term 'angel' means messenger. Jesus is the chief messenger and his disciples are messengers as well. They have the gospel. Remember how Jesus comes with the voice of the archangel in Thes 4. That's because he comes with his own voice, the gospel, which is the...

The phrase 'third heaven' is widely misunderstood and engenders diagrams like this above if you read the term as a surface text in the Bible. Actually, the Bible refers to the true believers using the term 'third': "And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts...

Thanks Runningman. I enjoyed the conclusion you reached and agree with the conclusion, which is that Christ is in believers. We know that this happens by his Spirit, and not by sticking a physical body into our bodies. People used to see Jesus as a physical person walking around, but "Wherefore...

For a person who is born again: "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. " In my experience, I was not aware of God in...

The law that Jesus spoke of as coming to fulfill is the Bible. When you read the Bible it is written by inspiration of God in parable form. That is why Psalm 78 says "Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable " That is why...
