Vow, Oath, Swear and Pledge
Please distinguish the terms "vow", "oath", "swear" and "pledge." Some of these are interchangeable and some are referred to in the bible as totally different from each other. I'm specifically interested in what Jesus meant in Matthew 5:33-37 and how that applies to nowadays "pledging" for a building fund or other church projects.
Urim and Thummin
How does the practice of "Urim and Thummin" in the Old Testament differ from forbidden practices of divination?
The Threshingfloor
Except for the reference in Matthew 3:11, the term "threshingfloor" is found only in the Old Testament. Its use there indicates there is a particular significance in a "threshingfloor". 2 Samuel 24 tells of King David buying a threshingfloor, to build an altar on it. Why a "threshingfloor" and not a field or some other structure? I believe God has a purpose in every word in His Bible. What's the significance in this usage?

The Last Trump
Is the trumpet of 1 Corinthians 15:52 the same as the trumpet of Revelation 11:15? If so, doesn't this mean that the church will not be raptured out until the end of the tribulation?
The Identity of the Unicorn
How does the Bible identify a unicorn? Most modern versions identify the unicorn as a wild ox. However, the biblical descriptions do not fit a wild ox. What are some of the true characteristics of the unicorn?
Gifts of the Spirit - Are They for Today?
Benny Hinn, John Hagee, Rod Parsley and many others from TBN practice healing and speaking in tongues along with other things. Is this scriptural?
Faces of Lions
What does 1 Chronicles 12:8 mean when it refers to the Gadites as having faces like the faces of lions?
Did Jesus Have Long Hair?
I was taught Jesus had short hair, but someone in our church believes Jesus had long hair and that is his excuse to have long hair as well. Is this right?
