Discussion on Reading the Quran

September 7th, 2015
Dwight Payne August 27 at 4:02pm Have any of you guys read the entire Qur'an? I'm thinking about doing it. I read the Book of Mormon from cover to cover so I could witness to LDS members when they knock on my door. It makes a difference. Of course, in my opinion this doesn't have much effect unless you have also read the entire Bible first. Anyway, I'm thinking about reading the Qur'an just so I will be more familiar with it and better understand it, not that I expect any Muslims to knock on my door....lol. Just . . .

Question on Women Open Air Preaching

August 26th, 2015
Wendyl Leslie August 26, 2015 Hey folks, I was just assigned an interesting question and would love to hear your thoughts on it: "Would it be a violation of Scripture for women to open air preach?" Without question, women teaching and preaching in a church is a hotly debated issue. It's the view of GQ that women are not to teach or have authority over men within the church (1 Timothy 2:11-14). And I agree. However, my thinking is that teaching or preaching in an open-air environment isn't the same as "church." . . .

Question on the most important aspect of man

August 26th, 2015
Jason Finch August 26, 2015 Hello everybody, So received my first question today, and have few ways I can answer it. But I would love some ideas from you as well. The question is, Which is the most important aspects of man? Is it soul or spirit? Is it the mind? Is it the body and the soul? Is it the community? Is it the body? Why or why not? Thank you and God bless! Like   Comment Seen by 14 Ed Romero and Ed Chait like this. Ed Romero Two things . . .

Question on 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 in relation to single women or those with unbelieving or spiritually immature husbands

August 26th, 2015
Julie Kimani August 26, 2015 Wendyl's post brought to mind another question to mind for me. Re: 1 Corinthians 14:34-35. What if a woman is either unmarried or has a husband that is either not a Christian, or an immature Christian? I would imagine that she would approach another mature Christian privately. Is it inappropriate for a woman to ask questions (such as via email) to a male pastor or elder? Like   Comment Seen by 24 Ed Chait likes this. Tim White I am a pastor. . . .

Question on God “needing” us to serve Him

August 26th, 2015
Julie Kimani August 17 at 5:24pm Anyone interested in helping me break a question down? Here's the question: "Don't mean to be harsh but why does God need us to serve him? Isn't that kind of selfish? The Bible states that God should be worshiped because he is our creator but its not like it was difficult for him. He created everything with just talking which seems fairly easy." I think I've identified 2 main ideas that I can address. 1. Does God "need" us? OR What is the purpose of mankind in regards . . .

Discussion on Revelation 21:8, liars, and cowardly

August 17th, 2015
Justin Tilghman August 17, 2015 Steve's post got me thinking about an old question I had. In regards to Rev. 21:8, how do we interpret that? Is that any liar or an unrepentant liar? (Someone once told me "liars" included anyone who had an unconfessed lie and gave the example of parents who told their children about Santa Clause...in other words they would go to hell unless they repented of lying to their children) Also, what does John mean by cowardly? Are these individuals who shrank back from their profession in fear . . .

Discussion on Lying and whether context determines sinfulness

August 17th, 2015
Steve Ray Webb August 17, 2015 Church elders at the new church we are attending stand behind their teaching that it is wrong to tell a lie even if telling a lie would save the lives of your family from an intruder in your home, or perhaps saving the lives of a classroom full of students from a deranged killer. Any thoughts??? Like   Comment Seen by 27 Justin Tilghman I can understand their intention but I can't help but think of Rahab who lied to save the spies (2:1-7) and that . . .
