Question on Bribes and Business

March 10th, 2015
Clive Roberts March 9, 2015 Hi guys, please help me out here. What does the bible says about conducting business ethically? Some Christians I know do a lot of business with our country's government. The perception is that most public servants ask for "golden hand shakes" in order for ones tender application to pass. This can be in the form of hard cash in a black bag or favors which requires money. These Christians I'm referring to, blanket this act as being be business savvy. What are your thoughts?

Question on God’s Relationship to Time – Is He in the Continual Present?

March 9th, 2015
Kris Cadogan March 7 at 7:35pm Question about God and his relationship to time. Can it be said that God can neither “remembers” or “think" due to his relationship with time. I believe that these occurrences in the bible may be anthropomorphic. My reasoning is that only a being who exist in our concept of linear time is capable of remembering and thinking. The best way to describe this is to use yourself as an example. Right now in this moment your full attention is on these words as such you do not need to . . .

Question on Hebrew and Gender of Angels

March 7th, 2015
Kristi-Joy Matovich March 5 at 3:06pm We could use some help from our Hebrew scholars. I am having difficulty determining whether or not the word/words for Angel in Hebrew are masculine or neuter, and whether that actually indicates gender. Also, whether the pronouns used of angels (when they are not being visibly observed as "men," but just as angels) are masculine or neuter. Or, does Hebrew, like Greek and English, use the masculine pronoun as also the neuter pronoun? Our office is Greek-heavy and rather Hebrew-poor, . . .

Thoughts on a Question about Getting Married without a Marriage License

March 4th, 2015
Wendyl Leslie March 3 at 4:33pm Okay folks, help me out on this one: "Whenever I get married would it be wrong just to have a wedding ceremony without a marriage license so I can keep my disability benefits because that is my only income?" Can or would a pastor marry a couple without a marriage license? I also recognize that the intent of this couple is to circumvent the law by not having a civil ceremony in order to retain governmental benefits. That in itself presents a problem as well. Thanks for your input. Like . . .
