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. . . .

Julie Kimani September 15 at 6:14pm · Goodyear, AZ What do you all know about Christian Reformed Church and the Heidelburg Catechism? Like   Comment Seen by 56 Ed Romero likes this. Comments Byron Earnheart While I don't know much about them, from what little research I could do while cooking dinner, I found this.http://www.crcna.org/.../confessions/heidelberg-catechismThey seem to be an offshoot of some of the schisms that happened during the Reformation. . . .

Question on Eve’s response to the serpent in Genesis 3

September 14th, 2015
Gwen Sellers September 9 at 1:37pm Would anyone care to help me with a question? In Genesis 3:3, Eve seems to add to God's original command regarding the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I'm wondering how this affects the couple's innocence prior to their eating of the fruit. Why would either Adam or Eve feel the need to add extra restrictions to God's commands if sin was not yet an issue? Or am I missing something obvious here? Thank you!

Question on Romans 11:25 and the “fullness of the Gentiles”

September 14th, 2015
Ed Chait September 12 at 5:20pm · Edited What do you guys think about this as regards Romans 11:25, particularly the meaning of "fullness"? http://www.messianicassociation.org/ezine16-sn.fullness.htm Like   Comment Seen by 31 Robert Lowry I generally concur, except I think that "the fulness of the Gentiles" means that God has an exact number of Gentiles that He will bring to salvation, since the word translated fulness means a "full number" or a "complete number".

Sample Q&A from August 2015

September 8th, 2015
Question: How should Christians feel when they know that billions of people from other religions will burn in hell for eternity because of their beliefs? Answered by: James Toland, who has been a volunteer with us since May 2010. Answer: We should feel an earnest passion for the lost just as Jesus did, Luke 19:10, Mark 10:45. And it mattered so much to Him, He gave His life on the cross so that the lost could be saved, 1 John 2:2. We are called to be like Christ as John 2:6 states, "Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did," and . . .

Question on Someone Claiming to Hear God Audibly

September 7th, 2015
Jason Finch September 5 at 8:10am Hey everybody, I would really like your thoughts on this topic. If there is an individual who claims to hear from God (audibly), but refuses to submit himself to any type of church leadership and authority, is not accountable to anybody but himself, has his own "house church" and has appointed himself as pastor of that "house church," bashes other churches in the community and tries to tear other peoples marriages apart and justifies it by saying that you have to go where . . .

Discussion on seemingly prophetic dreams

September 7th, 2015
Jonathan Morales September 1 at 1:08pm Greetings brethren! I would like to know your thoughts on this. I know of this man who has been battling with cancer in his brain and the doctors sent him home,as there is nothing else they can do. My church has been praying fervently for a miracle. I really don't know if God will heal him or not, since I've seen so many cases where others with cancer end up dying anyways, regardless of the many prayers. But last night I had a dream where I saw him fully healthy with his wife, . . .
