Question on parents kissing their children on the lips

June 11th, 2015
Hope McCullough June 11, 2015 Had a question for you all. I was assigned a question about whether it is wrong to kiss your child on the lips. Any opinions? Like · Comment Seen by 31 Stuart Mattfield Not inherently...no...IMHO. Age, comfort level, etc. all will play a factor. 23 hrs · Like Scott D. Foreman No problems with it - during the years that it's 'appropriate', and that really is between parent and child...and that's factoring . . .

Question about the Law and Sin

June 10th, 2015
John McPhaill June 7 at 10:37am And here is had, for me, a perplexity (which moves in one of my questions): If it is that sin in its concentrated definition "is the transgression of the law" (I John 3:4), how then can Paul so say "sin is not imputed when there is no law" (Romans 5:13)? For surely the law imputes, and doubtlessly sin is transgression of the law, but if this is so then how can there be one without the other as the apostle implies--sin before Moses (e.g., Genesis 4:7), but no law before him.

Question on the Duggar Situation and how parents with sons and daughters should handle talking about sexuality

June 7th, 2015
Jed Kramer June 5 at 1:03pm Parenting question: I just requested reassignment on a question dealing with the recent Duggar controversy since I was blissfully unaware of the issue until yesterday. I ended up watching a few interviews & read many online article comments. I have an 11yr old son and a 14yr old daughter. In light of Matthew 10:16, I want to raise them in such a way that they are both innocent and shrewd. It seems that our sexualized culture will likely heighten current teenagers' curios... See . . .

Writer Testimony about Assigned Questions

May 30th, 2015
Byron Earnheart May 29 at 11:01pm · Edited Just wanted to post a PTL! The last two questions I've gotten this week have had deep personal connections for me and there's no way the GQ staff could have known how God has made Himself real to me and my family in both of these unrelated topics. I like the questions that make me think and go to the Word, but I love those that hit a personal note. I thank God that we all are involved in a ministry where the Holy Spirit is working like He is. It humbles me to think about where . . .

Help with a Question on carnal dreams about ones spouse

May 30th, 2015
Tim White May 29 at 8:08pm OK, stumped. Any ideas? "Is it sinful to have carnal thoughts and dreams of your wife? If others were involved I think that is adultery, but only my wife are in them. We have been married almost 39 years and she is slowing down, me not so much." Like · Comment Seen by 47 Ed Chait likes this. Remove Lea Ann Davis McCombs Why would this be wrong?

Help on a Question about Jehovah’s Witnesses and Jesus being the firstborn

May 29th, 2015
James Toland May 28 at 11:19am Fellow writers I need some of your wisdom in answering a question. I would rather not have it reassigned but I am not sure where to begin on the answer. Question is: "I believe Jesus is preeminent over creation but I am dealing with a Jehovah witness via e-mail and he of course thinks Jesus is created. When I explained to him Jesus is firstborn, meaning a title of sovereignty, or being pre-eminent over creation, he responded by asking why isn't the Father or the Holy Spirit said to be firstborn . . .

Question on Doubt / Not Feeling God

May 23rd, 2015
Ed Romero‎Got Questions Writers May 22, 2015 How do you counsel someone who prays and reads the Bible but doubts because she doesn't feel Him? Like · Comment Craig Simons I had doubts for quite a long time but I grabbed hold of God by faith/fact. I rested on the facts, not how I felt. Feelings vary and not only that can be deceiving. The facts are what they are. As the Scripture declares, "the heart is deceitful above all things" and "without faith, it's impossible to . . .

Question on modesty and hair style

May 19th, 2015
Laurel J. Davis May 18, 2015 Thoughts? I answered a question earlier today about what the Bible says about modesty in hairstyling. I mentioned how I know a Christian woman who chose to basically go bald (mostly bald, not shiny bald), not due to chemo or illness, and not due to wanting undue attention. She said she just simply got tired of all the time and money she had to spend on hair care. Since I submitted my answer, I happened upon 1 Corinthians 11:6 which says it's shameful for a woman to shave her head. The context . . .
