    what is non-denominational?

    Every Christian in a collective fellowship today, makes a judgment of which Christian group they will be associated with; and the so-called 'bottom line' on that should be (as I see it anyway), a caution whether it is a BIBLE ONLY fellowship, and not some doctrines contrary to the four...

    Veiling, a Christian custom for almost 2000 years, until modern feminist pride said "no"...

    In your reference to I Cor. 11:16 you overlooked the full reference there; see I Cor. 11:13-15. Read the full thought given, friend. It is showing that a woman must NOT glory herself before God. The long hair is HER glory, and that must be covered before God. We can build a doctrine we like...

    Why does God let bad news pile on and on?

    Much of the counsel here is very worth thinking about, friend. As was mentioned herein, we are under trials and temptations by Satan (our enemy and tempter allowed by God to test us). Yes, things WILL keep getting worse until the Lord Jesus calls His "bride" --the universal Church,up to...

    Struggling with the Desire to be like others

    It sounds like you are lacking in confidence and without a direction in life. You don't need to do as 'some others do' (and probably should not). Much depends on your age and maturity and own interests; and desire to achieve a course of life, friend. Do you have some direction for your future...

    Veiling, a Christian custom for almost 2000 years, until modern feminist pride said "no"...

    Yes, God has told us to be taking "...all the counsel of God" and "rightly dividing the Word of Truth", but mankind like to have their own ideas (called "carnality" in the Bible; i.e. worldliness). It seems Christianity is getting further from Scripture every few years, with many churchy...

    How do praise and worship teams work in megachurches?

    Yes, people seem to like religious innovations, stage shows, etc; but NEED to hold "all the counsel of God" and be "rightly dividing the Word of Truth" as God tellls us in our Bible. I urge all seekers after God to be reading the four Gospels (notably John 3; John 14; Romans 8; etc). We...

    The KJV is being updated

    Lots of opinions and choices here; so let us "go in peace", and read whatever we choose; yet seek always to obey "all the counsel of God" as given. I hope those non-"born again" saints as shown in John 3:16, and reading here are not stumbled by the opinions expressed, but at least read the four...

    Im not sure what to do. Advice please.

    Macchiato, please STOP these wild thoughts of revenge; and lamenting the bad experience you have had with your poor choice of a man to live with. If you won't leave that line of activity, and start looking to God: in His "..beloved Son": the Lord Jesus, as one can clearly see in John 3; John...

    edit

    Dear Wyatt: do NOT ever challenge the Word of God! Atheistic scientists deny deity and our Holy Bible --so who will you choose to believe? I pray you will choose God --before it is too late (note John 3:16; John 14; etc.). One might not be on earth even tomorrow.

    I’m not sure

    He did NOT write it up in Heaven. Proper reading and study of Bible explanations will help one on this, friend. Elijah wrote this BEFORE his 'translation' up to Heaven. I find much help on explanations of Bible verses in my study Bible: Scofield KJV Study Bible, for it shows margin...

    I’m not sure

    As I said: "it deteriorates in the earth". We won't need the earthly body in Heaven, but enjoy a new and stronger body up with our Creator-God. Just be sure you make it there (as John 3:16), friend.

    I’m not sure

    The full picture is shown in the four Gospels of our Bible. The 'rapture' (i.e. joyous uplifting) is a term describing the spiritual calling up to heaven of true "redeemed" souls (as John 3:16; John 14; John 17; Romans 8; etc.). It is not speaking of the BODY, which goes to the grave and...

    Resisting evil

    You got your answer --her mental incapacity; and now you are angry with her??? You might try to show some understanding and allow that she was out of control due to her limitations, which is a mental problem. Show a little patience, and try to be supportive of such a one, and she might be...

    Why does God use people?

    The question: 'why does God use people' might have double meanings, but God created mankind, so He can care for them as His "children' (as He tells us in His Word). He loves us as our "heavenly Father" and wants us to love Him --and that is by receiving His "..beloved Son": the Lord Jesus...

    My story

    It is so sad to learn of the truama a lot of youngsters have endured growing up, and thankfully there is a loving God who watches over us. He knows all about us, and has us in His sight. He also knows WHO will receive His "...so great salvation" in His "..beloved Son": the Lord Jesus". I hope...
