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? Any ideas on this one? What explanation would you give then to what Jesus said in Mathew 5:17-20? This is directly from God Himself. 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 . . .

May 6th, 2015
Justin Tilghman May 6, 2015 Sort of tagging on Ed Chait's question: does anyone here have any experience or thoughts on Bethel Church's School of Supernatural Ministry? Does GQ have a particular opinion on it? We have several people in our area attending a local campus and some of the things I read on their website give me pause. It seems VERY heavy on signs and wonders and Christ dying to make his people "a new race of beings on the planet who [are] naturally supernatural." They have a prayer room that looks very much . . .

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 . . .

May 5, 2015 Hey guys, this is a bit nerdy but I keep a record of user hits over the past years and though it might inspire you all to continue in this great ministry. These are the "user" figures (i do have the others too!) As Church attendance declines the number of people going on line goes the other way! we just need to know where to cast our nets . . .
