Discussion on whether theology has to be systematic

May 15th, 2015
Ed Chait May 14, 2015 Does theology have to be systematic? Like · Comment Seen by 24 Tim White Eventually, since we learn about an organized God who desires us to know Him And learn of Him. And since the process involves renewing the mind, our learning requires that we can mentally catalog what we learn in a systematic way. Systematic understanding helps us grasp ideas that are not clearly described but assumed we would discover. Yesterday at 1:34am · Like · 2 William . . .

Question on Why God allowed sin to enter the world

May 13th, 2015
Sarah Van Baale‎Got Questions Writers May 12, 2015 My son, Isaac, (12) has been asking everyone he knows - literally everyone - if they can explain why God allowed sin to enter into the world. Not why sin is in the world. Not why bad things happen to people. Not why the devil is allowed to wreak havoc. He wants to know why God initially allowed Satan to enter the garden - so to speak, though he didn't phrase it that way. I gave my thoughts to him, and talked about free will. I asked him how he would feel if every . . .

Help with a Q on Mosaic Law

May 6th, 2015
Joe Maxey May 5, 2015 Here's a question I received yesterday. I assume the questioner is asking about whether we are still under the Jewish legal system and dietary laws and why is there a trinity?

And also what explanation will you give on the writings of the prophets, there prophecies about the house of Juda and the house of Israel without the hebraic root understa... See More Like . . .

Writer Discussion on how the doctrine of a “Second Blessing” affects a church

May 6th, 2015
Ed Chait May 4 at 12:20am · Edited My wife and I were talking today about the doctrine of a second "baptism of the Holy Spirit" as a separate and distinct event from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation. In addition to there being no significant scriptural support for this, we both thought it essentially produces two classes of believers. Those who have attained the requirements for or been favored with this second blessing and those who haven't. I haven't had all that much exposure to this . . .

What does the “for” mean in Genesis 3:16?

April 28th, 2015
Sarah Van Baale April 26 at 4:39pm In Genesis 3:16 the English Standard Version has a footnote after "for" which says "or against." (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/…) For and against seem to be opposed to one another so I'm guessing that this Hebrew word is not translated very easily into English. Can someone help clarify its meaning? Bible Gateway passage: Genesis 3:16 - English Standard Version To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain . . .

Specifically there's a lady in my church that will be leading our ladies, but she doesn't attend any functions outside of church, including Sunday School, all of which she used to do.
