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

I’ve just seen a lot of people call atheists a bad influence and sometimes I would like people close to me to talk about the Bible or other things God related :)

No I don’t know who that is, why?

Okay so I get along with a nice amount of people, that isn’t the issue. The problem in that I have one friend that is Christian. That’s it. All my other friends are atheists and agnostics. I find tons of advice online telling me to seek out Christian friends, but I feel like many our age don’t...

So in this verse I partially understand how Jesus is laying the beginnings of introducing himself as the son of God. However what confused me was how he was arguing against himself being the son of David, because isn’t he a descendant of David? If anyone could clarify that would be wonderful.
