Understanding Paul's Dispensation
Why is the Bible so vague, meaning why can't most Christians or so called Christians understand the dispensation of Paul's message? The difference between the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Grace.
The Truth About Predestination
The Bible states that God "predestines" Christians for a future with Christ in Heaven and that he does NOT predestine others to Hell; however, does this mean that only a few of the Christians on Earth were predestined by God and the rest "happened" to come to Christ by the work of these Christians and the Holy Spirit? Or were ALL the people who God knew would become Christian through His omniscience thus "predestined" by Christ?
Thinketh No Evil
In 1 Corinthians 13, what is meant by the phrase "..thinketh no evil,.." and how does that relate to Biblical charity?
Slaves in the Bible
What does the Bible teach concerning slavery and servanthood? Is it always considered an ungodly practice or are there situations where servanthood is scriptural?
Sin Nature
How do you describe one's sin nature? How do we inherit this nature? In what ways are we sinners?
Sacrifices Pleasing to God
Bible sacrifices can be placed into several categories: Old Testament animal sacrifices, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, and the spiritual sacrifices made by New Testament believers.
Predestination
Doesn't the Bible indicate that God has already chosen those He will save, we just do not know who they are, because we do not have the "foreknowledge" spoken about in the Bible?
No Longer Saved?
I have been asked about when being truly saved when you were a young person and then falling short on the glory of God and doing some really bad stuff like committing adultery and bad language. Does this mean you are no longer saved?
The Lily of the Valley
Can you tell me what the flower that is "the lily of the valley" symbolically referred to Christ? I would like to know if this is the same 'lily' promoted as the 'Easter lily'. After examining some of the roots of the holiday called "Easter", it is easy to see that most of this 'holiday' has nothing to do with the Resurrection of Christ.
In the End of the World
In Hebrews 9:26 Paul (or whoever may be writing) said that Christ had appeared "once "IN THE END OF THE WORLD" to atone for sins. How can it be the "end of the world" when it happened almost 2,000 years ago (considering that this world is only 6,000 plus years old)?
