Writer Discussion on Bible Versions

September 30th, 2015
Blaine Cardilli September 24 at 7:54pm So what kinds of Bibles are we all using these days? I own maybe 14 different translations for pleasure & study but this one right here is the favorite. It's a Ryrie Study Bible in NIV and it's not the 'Ryrie' name or his notes I like but the concordance and overall layout has worked well for me. After almost 20 years I know it well. It's held together by duct tape and scotch tape. Spurgeon once said that if you find a Bible that's falling apart, chances are the owner isn't. . . .

Discussion on material inequalities between believers

Help on a Q about the Trinity

Kris Cadogan September 18 at 1:35pm Hey guys would really appreciate your thoughts on this question I was assigned. Thanks Question: I was reading the answer to the question about the Holy Trinity and realized that maybe a new way to describe it in human terms could be using the brain, the body, and the mind. The brain being the Father, the body being Christ, and the mind being the Holy Spirit. The brain is responsible for the functions of the body and mind but it is not the body and mind per say.

Discussion on who is really the “prodigal” in Luke 15

Jason Finch September 18 at 4:12pm So a friend told me that a local pastor wrote this on his Facebook page. I would like to know your thoughts regarding his statement. I completely disagree with this interpretation but what do you think? He said, “Who is the real prodigal in Luke 15? The younger son or the Father? Definition of prodigal - recklessly extravagant, one who spends or gives lavishly and profusely... You have a Father in heaven whose love is extravagant and unconditional, who longs . . .

Keep Praying and Remember Your Work Matters

September 21st, 2015
Jeff Laird September 16 at 9:45pm Cool aspect of an expanded role in our question-answering process: I find myself praying for others more often. Not-so-cool aspect of an expanded role in answering questions: I feel burdened to pray *hard*, for *a lot* of strangers, *all the time*. Don't forget to pray for the people seeking answers from us, and for each other as you provide Godly responses. There are some seriously broken, hurting souls out there. What you're doing matters. . . .
