    Bible commentaries

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone in this forum can recommend good Bible commentaries? I'm interested in evangelical/pentecostal authors viewing the Bible as the word of God and not anything else. Many thanks, Deckland

    Why do you believe in Christ?

    Hi there, I understand what you're saying, but please try to see my view of the points you raise, in-line below: If God is evil, then Satan must be evil. Not so. Free will gives Satan the right to rebel against God. Since God is evil, and Satan rebels against him, Satan is good. God wants...
