John Edward Rasmussen 18 hrs Hey all, looking for some help on a question. I'm past-due because I'm behind on - well, everything in life right now! Lol. But the question I'm working on is this - "Would it be a sin for an undercover police officer, or a CIA agent, or someone like that to lie to do their job? Thanks." Any thoughts? My instinct is to say "yes", because I'm not for the idea of "the ends justify the means", but I'm not sure how to express this principle scripturally in this case. Like · Comment Seen . . .

Ed Chait March 27 at 6:31pm How can the Church be a light to the nations if the world is not the Church's home? Like · Comment Seen by 28 Robert Lowry The church is supposed to live in the world (for now) but not be of the world. So it will be the light to the nations until the rapture. After that, the job falls to the 144,000 Jewish evangelists, the Two Witnesses, and angels flhying around in the heavens making evangelistic announcements. March 27 at 6:34pm · Like Ed . . .

Ed Chait March 17 at 10:05pm I need to share this and ask for your prayers. A few weeks ago, I made a a comment in thread here how I was more excited than ever about going to church to worship and listen. The church had started a new series of Sunday School classes and I signed up for "Old Testament Survey". The teacher passed out a handout and began teaching about God making His first covenant. A "works covenant" with Adam which could be understood to be like a Suzerain Treaty between nations. I had never heard . . .

Courtney Kincel Silberman March 17 at 11:04am · Glen Allen, VA Could someone weigh in on this question with me? Do we have enough biblical information to give an answer one way or another? I feel like her guess is a good one. Thanks in advance! (see Matthew 27:45-50 to begin) "During the crucifixion, at what time did Jesus bear and pay for our sins? Was is between when He said "Father, why have you forsaken me?" and "It is finished"? Was it during the 3 hours of darkness?" Like · Seen . . .
