    The heart of Judaism and Christianity buried in the home of Islam

    Judaism is very different from Islam. And Christianity is entirely (100%) different.

    How Do You Know if You Have the Gift of Tongues?

    I know a lot of people who have the gift of tongues, but none have been able to explain to me how I would know when I get the gift. When you got the gift of tongues: Did you hear a voice in your head and repeat what it said? Was it involuntary - did your tongue just move by itself? You...

    Five-fold ministry

    I've heard this term before. What exactly is it? How do I know if a particular church has five-fold ministry?

    Not sure whether to find a new church

    Please pray that I may have clarity on whether or not I should look for a new church. I'm having doubts about the biblical authenticity of my pastor's messages. It seems like he just preaches his own opinions and when he's asked he cannot back up any of his teachings with bible verses. I'm...

    Poor vs. poor in spirit

    Last week my pastor taught that we should be focused on spreading the gospel, not to the rich, but to the poor. I think he's fundamentally confusing "poor" with "poor in spirit". Jesus taught that "I was hungry and you gave me to eat" (Mathew 25:35). This is talking about helping the...

    Questions

    1. Are people chosen by God or not? 2. My pastor taught last week that Moses did not have a destiny as a prophet. I find this really strange. Did God not choose him? Did He not know before Moses was born what he was going to accomplish for Him? 3. He taught that Moses' mother abandoned...

    Should I join a new church?

    I've been going to a church for over a year. I came to know later that the pastor did not go to a Bible college. To be clear, he went to a Bible college but then quit in the middle because he did not agree with them. Some times he preaches some things that I feel are not biblical. Last week...
