? Can an ex-Christian who commits blasphemy against the Holy Spirit ever be saved again? The simple answer is no. Jesus calls this the "unforgiveable sin." To quote Luke 12:10, "but who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven." This naturally raises the question, what does it mean to blaspheme against the […]
Let me answer the question by assuming that I am suggestion how to keep up your own faith, rather than the faith of others. This is the key to the problem anyway. I do not have any easy answer to this question, but I do have a couple of suggestions to offer. First, you need […]
I would say that at first glance this passage might be difficult to understand if one were assuming it was about judgment day. God is talking about bringing physical judgment on the city of Jerusalem and on Judah for their unrighteous deeds. In fact, that is the main subject of Ezekiel chapters 20-23. Israel had […]
It is debatable to say whether masturbation is listed specifically as a sin in the Bible. There are probable references to it in the Old Testament. Even involuntary nocturnal ejaculation made the Jewish men “unclean” and required a time when the Israelite was unable to offer certain types of worship. However, we are not under […]
Question: After death do we go to heaven, hell, or do we “sleep” until the return of Christ? Answer: This is a very good question. To be honest with you, to do justice to this question would require an answer of at least ten pages. Besides, I do not feel particularly qualified to answer this […]
I am not sure if there are any important physical lessons to learned from David and Goliath except perhaps that a small stone can do a lot of damage if moving fast enough! There are many spiritual lessons to be gleaned from David and Goliath! The most clear lesson is that reliance on God is […]
Question: Why would God allow the sinner to be more successful than the righteous or the one who is following him? Answer: You ask an excellent question. David asked the same question in several of his psalms. For example in Psalm 38:35, David said, “I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a […]
I want to learn more about prophecy, eschatology. Any suggestions? There is a book, From Shadow to Reality as well as an Outline for Shadow to Reality. with quite a bit of material on this subject. Also, I would suggest some titles by Gordon Ferguson, especially his on Revelation available at www.dpibooks.org. One of my […]
I appreciate anyone with passion to study issues related to the Bible! To be honest, I do not have a book I can recommend to you as being really good, although I will mention one which has some strong points. The problem is that most people who look at the flood either reject it as […]
Of all the questions I have received at this web site, this is the first one I am going to have to say I do not know the answer. You ask a very good question which is very difficult to know how to answer. Because you ask the question, I assume you already see the […]
We do not know when the flood happened, but presumably it was at least several thousand years ago. I can only assume that human beings evolved the different “racial” characteristics over the past several thousand years. In a gene pool with a fairly broad genetic diversity, the physical characteristics which lead to the greatest survival […]
What does the King James Bible say about the curse Noah put on his grandson Canaan? and Where in the King James Bible did Noah tell Canaan that his off springs would be dark? First, it is probably better to ask where in the Bible such things are found or not found. The King James […]
I have been studying many of your articles. They make one think. Therefore questions come up. In reading Genesis it appears that the earth was formed before God said “Let there be light.” Genesis 1:3 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over […]
I’ve been wondering last days about my faith. I have been a Christian for the last five years, and for the last three I have served as a minister. I believe that the real problem with me is in my relationship with God, maybe my lack of relationship! This is hard. But, I just would […]
I would like to ask what has been said about the nature of the trinity: that their is one God who is in three persons. I have heard a biblical scholar that said there are three God having different personalities. So what is the truth about it? Thousands of volumes and, believe it or not, […]
You have rephrased my questions. Although it seems to be the same to ask “how much is 2 plus 2?” or “what is the result of the sum of the numeral 2 to another numeral 2?”, the approach taken to respond tends to required further analysis than just a simple response. Your response to my […]
I cannot understand why there is the perception of God as a distant being, external to us. A ruler with a human personality and weaknesses, like a puppet master who seems to be not more than a magical-religious being, created by human mind to justify our existence and everything that surround us, instead of preferring […]
Do the books referred to in the OT exist? For example, I read about the “Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah?” (1 Kings 14:19), the “Book of the Wars of the Lord”, “Book of Jashar”, “Book of the Annals of Solomon” and so forth… The answer is that none of these books […]
I’m doing a brief study on the foundation of Christianity for our Bible study group and have been browsing your website. Am I correct in that in accordance with Jewish burial customs Jesus’ body would have been wrapped similar to that of an Egyptian mummy? If so would that not be further evidence against the […]
I read your article on Adam and Eve and my fellow group members and I were wondering if we are all based on those two having sexual relations with each other and then their children. Would that be labeled as incest? By my knowledge incest raises the chances of deformities so I was hoping if […]
I was just wondering; I believe Jesus died and was raised from the dead. I also believe in the resurrection. However what is the point of the resurrection? Was it just an example of God’s power? Other people have been raised from the dead. What really makes Christ’s resurrection so special? There are many things […]
If all good things come from heaven, where did Lucifer get the mindful thought to be jealous of God. In other words, where did he get his wicked ways from in the first instance? God loves us so much and He knew man would not be able to resist Satan’s wicked ways so why do […]
Why did God create us? It says because he wanted people to appreciate his creations, but why? Does God get lonely? Didn’t he, in fact, create us above all to worship HIM? If that is our supreme purpose, what is the point of creating people merely for the satisfaction of receiving their praise? You ask […]
I have encountered a “theology” on creation (Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2) that the Bible gives us a hint where Dinosaurs thrived here on earth. Yes, science claims that they really lived millions of years ago. A “teacher” taught that in between these verses, there is a very long time span. Verse 1 states that […]
I’ve had heard many people claim that the Apostles would not have let themselves be put to death for a lie, and this should be taken into consideration when studying the evidence for Jesus, but what evidence outside of the scriptures do we have that the Apostles were actually put to death? I respect your […]
I think you need to ask yourself some careful questions. What is true? There are many belief systems, many religions, many philosophies out there. How do you know what is true? I believe the Bible shows incontrovertible (how’s that for a big word!) proof that it is from God.? I believe this based on the […]
I am a smoker and have limitations as to where I can and cannot serve in my church. I can head up the children’s church but cannot sing in the praise and worship band. Please help me to understand this. It is very difficult for me to comment on your specific church situation, as I […]
I understand that the Bible says that you must repent and be baptized to get the forgiveness of sins and the Holy Spirit, but my friend who is studying the Bible believes that he was saved and received the Holy Spirit when he was Pentecostal even though he didn’t believe in a “biblical baptism” because […]
As far as God condoning killing, I understand that he hates sin and so seeks to establish justice on the earth; however, it’s not that he condones killing that bothers me, but that he used Israel to do it! Israel was as sinful (if not more so) than the nations surrounding them. Sinful people killing […]
I had a question regarding Numbers 3. Why does there seem to be an inconsistency between the sum of the males counted in the Levite clans (7,500+8,600+6,200=22,300) in ch3, vs. 21-34, and the amount listed in ch3, v. 39 (22,000)? It would seem to pose a problem when (in vs. 40-51) the people of Israel […]
I wondering about chapter 9 (of the book Daniel in the Bible), if it is not possible to look at the last week as taking 70 years instead of 7, and have it overlap the others so that it covers from the birth of Jesus till the destruction of the temple in which case Jesus […]
The simple answer is that we are not required to keep it holy. This is a basic New Testament doctrine which, unfortunately, many religious groups have distorted. To prove this, consider Colossians 2:9f. “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who […]
1) The natural amino acids are L and D, and in proteins are only L. So in any hypothetical primordial soup, surely there would have been an equal proportion of both. The problem for the materialist is to answer how did the first proteins become just L amino acids (since racemic proteins can’t exist). If […]
The Bible does not state the color of Adam or Eve’s skin. Adam did not have a “race” as the word “race” only has meaning if there is more than one skin color or other trait. The concept of race had no meaning until, through the process of evolution, human beings changed and adapted to […]
I have already answered a couple of very similar question. Let me make a single statement and refer you to the questions and answers provided below. When God created the universe, he also created time. God exists outside of time, and therefore the question “What did God do before he created the universe?” does not […]
The NIV and some other Bibles leave out verses. Take for example, Matthew 18:11 is missing in the NIV. I know that it may not have the verse, and that it does cross refer it to Luke. But in Rev 22:19 it says And if any man shall take away from the words of the […]
The meaning of your question is unclear. I can think of a few possible interpretations of this question: 1. Are the teachings of the Old Testament followed by certain religious groups today? 2. Is it correct to teach that Christians should be following all or part of the Old Testament Law? 3. Does the New […]
John 14;13 John 16:23-24 John15:16 John 15:7 It’s clear that if we ask Jesus anything in his name he will do it for us. Every prayer , I pray it in Jesus’ name, but not all of them are answered. On the other hand I can find many conditions for an answered prayer, for example […]
The NIV has the term ‘deaconnesses’ in the footnotes. Biblically is there such a thing as a deaconness and what would their role be if there is? There are two questions implied here. One is whether there is such a thing as a deaconess, and the other is whether this is implied by the Bible. […]
