Encouragements

June 22nd, 2015
Kevin Stone June 19 at 10:40am · Overbrook, KS Some encouragement from a post I received today from a pastor in Cheyenne, Wy.: "I'm going to refer people to your gotquestions.org site this Sunday. We're going through Daniel 1-6, and this Sunday is the Fiery Furnace, and the 4th person there, so I'm going to talk briefly about Christophanies in the OT and tell people they can go to your site. Great site, thanks!"   Gwen Sellers June 22, 2015 Got this in an email today - "Am very happy . . .

Discussion on Testimony and Remembering One’s Moment of Salvation

June 22nd, 2015
Ed Chait June 15 at 4:16pm · Edited Byron commented in a thread that his wife and mother-in-law are saved but don't have a specific "moment of salvation". My wife also cannot recall a specific moment when she received Christ as her Lord and Savior. I know that there is no specific "formula" for salvation, but I'm curious as to what kind of testimony a person with this experience can give? If there is no specific moment in time when a person becomes aware they are a sinner in need of God's forgiveness, how can they give . . .

Question on “Christian Atheists” and “Cultural Christians”

June 18th, 2015
Wendyl Leslie June 17 at 6:28pm Got assigned a question today and would like your input on it: What is the difference between "cultural Christian" and "Christian atheism"? The terms "cultural Christian" and "Christian atheism" aren't totally foreign to me, however, I'm not having much success finding good info about them. My initial thoughts are that Christian atheists believe that Jesus was a good, moral man, but God Himself, is not longer relevant in the church or even dead. On the other . . .

Question on whether pastors should be required to have read the entire Bible

June 18th, 2015
Dwight Payne June 17, 2015 My own question for the group: I guess I'm just curious about this more than anything, so here goes. Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking that if God calls someone to be a pastor and be in ministry and preach and teach His Word, I would think that the person should be able to say that they have actually read the Bible. I'm not talking about bits and pieces; I'm talking about the whole thing, start to finish, cover to cover, every word. I honestly cannot understand how someone could be a pastor . . .

Encouragement from a site user

June 17th, 2015
"What you people have been doing at Gotquestions.org is a very good thing. I certainly pray that God is with you and your ministry. As for myself, you have proved to be reliable time and time again. I feel like the phrase sola scriptura is woven into the very being of your ministry" . . .

Help with a Question on Christians wearing skulls

June 16th, 2015
Justin Tilghman June 16, 2015 · Kinston, NC Would appreciate other's thoughts on this one: Question:Can Christians wear skulls? clothing, rings etc. My gut says there is nothing explicitly against it but there's really no benefit to it either, but I can't find anything in Scripture to "support" it. The only thing that comes to mind is Leviticus 19:28 but I don't know if that really applies. Like · Comment Seen by 20 Ed Romero and Ed Chait like this. Christopher . . .

Help with a Question regarding the day of Jesus’ crucifixion

June 16th, 2015
Ed Romero June 16, 2015 Regis, I'd like to use a lifeline. Question 405809: You say in an article (Which day was Jesus crucified?) that Jesus was crucified on a Friday. That is utterly impossible! Here's why: A Friday crucifixion means that Friday was the preparation day (13 Nisan) John 19: 31 says he was killed NOT on the High Holy Day of Passover but on the preparation day which preceded it. If that day was Friday it makes the next day both the weekly sabbath AND the high day of Passover. Correct? BUT that would make . . .
