Sample Q&A from September 2015

October 1st, 2015
Question: I watched a speaker on apologetics explain how slavery in the Old Testament was not the same kind of slavery we've had in America. He stated it was a much better life for them back then. I began to read Exodus. Once I got to 21:20-21 I can't see how he came to the conclusion that was better. It speaks of beating your slave and if they don't die within two days it's ok. As I continued reading. I came to where It gave rules 'laws' on when you sell your daughter. I'm just extremely confused on the morality of all this. Today we see it as . . .

Writer Discussion on Bible Versions

September 30th, 2015
Blaine Cardilli September 24 at 7:54pm So what kinds of Bibles are we all using these days? I own maybe 14 different translations for pleasure & study but this one right here is the favorite. It's a Ryrie Study Bible in NIV and it's not the 'Ryrie' name or his notes I like but the concordance and overall layout has worked well for me. After almost 20 years I know it well. It's held together by duct tape and scotch tape. Spurgeon once said that if you find a Bible that's falling apart, chances are the owner isn't. . . .

The other lady said “What about people like her who live in bad areas, where there are robberies, drugs and prostitution at every street . . .

Kris Cadogan September 18 at 1:35pm Hey guys would really appreciate your thoughts on this question I was assigned. Thanks Question: I was reading the answer to the question about the Holy Trinity and realized that maybe a new way to describe it in human terms could be using the brain, the body, and the mind. The brain being the Father, the body being Christ, and the mind being the Holy Spirit. The brain is responsible for the functions of the body and mind but it is not the body and mind per say. The body caries . . .
