Help on a Marriage Counseling Question

February 9th, 2015
Justin Tilghman February 8 at 3:56pm · Kinston, NC Need help friends. This a question that I can't really seem to find a good answer for: My wife will not listen to me and says she wants a divorce. She is not acting like a married woman. Is asking my father in law for help a good idea? My initial thought is "bad idea" because the FIL will be biased by the fact it's his "little girl" and also it may push the wife farther away if she feels he is trying to turn her family on her. Can't find a Scripture to hang my . . .

Writer Discussion on Christians’ Understanding of the Bible

February 8th, 2015
Steve Ray Webb February 7, 2015 The below quote from Relevant Magazine points out what I consider one of the most offensive areas about Christianity. I have been a Bible student since my youth and there are certain doctrines that do not resolve in Scripture no matter how much time I spend studying them. Yet those are often the same doctrines about which there is so much dissension and division among Christians and denominations. Why can't we be humble and gracious enough to admit that in some areas, "We simply don't know . . .

Q&A – Is God still creating?

February 4th, 2015
Ed Chait February 1 at 10:28pm · Edited I received this question and need some help. Question 380188: I came across your 'How are human souls are created?' article again, and had a question/wanted to touch on part of that article. Your quote "The weakness of Creationism is that it has God continually creating new human souls, while Genesis 2:2-3 indicates that God ceased creating." I don't think that means He stop creating indefinitely. What about when He says He goes and builds us mansions or how about the New . . .

Question on Moses’ inclusion of Gentiles in covenant relationship

January 30th, 2015
Byron Earnheart January 29, 2015 Question for myself...my best friend and I are reading Calvin's "Institutes" this year and discussing. Got to Book 1 C8 Sec 7 where Moses is defended and Calvin brings up Moses' inclusion of the Gentiles into covenant relationship. Is he referring to Gen 17:9-14 or is there something else I'm missing? Did Moses, in his speech or writings explicitly include Gentiles in the covenant? Like · Seen by 23 Ed Chait likes this. Tim White . . .

Question on marriage

January 27th, 2015
Wendyl Leslie January 27, 2015 Just received an interesting question and need your advice before answering. I'm thinking this person is wanting to have sex with his fiancée before marriage because she's dying of cancer. The questioner is apparently wanting to know if this is alright in the eyes of God: "Please help, I am shortly going to marry the love of my life. Sadly, her health is not good (cancer) We may not be able to "consummate" our marriage. To me, I love her so very much, that to me...it doesn't really matter.just . . .

James Toland January 20, 2015 Grand Rapids, MI Is there any reason to believe that the Pharaoh during the time of Joseph is saved/a believer/went to Heaven, etc? Like · Seen by 29 William Brenner No biblical evidence. 19 hrs · Like Fred Apelquist Hello, all --I guess there is a "possible" reason considering God "hardened" his heart to ignore & persist despite 10 plagues. Who knows? Maybe after 10, God ultimately "softened" his heart and Pharaoh . . .
