    Question about the resurrection of the body

    You misquote Paul. 2 Corinthians 5:6-9 says, "we are always confident; even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord— 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 Yes, we do have confidence, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9...

    Question about the resurrection of the body

    I believe in the resurrection of the body where our mortal body will be reunited with our soul after the second coming of Christ. My question about the resurrection of the body is "How will that benefit us?" How could it make us more complete or happy than being spiritually united to Jesus...

    Enoch walked with God and he was no more

    Enoch is in the Bible in the Book of Jude 14 "It was of these also that Enoch in the seventh generation from Adam prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with his holy myriads, 15 to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have...

    Sins in different faith traditions

    Catholics say it is a sin to receive Communion while in a state of serious sin. For example, The Bishop of Illinois said that the legislators who recently voted in favor of unlimited abortion should not present themselves to receive Communion. This action is based on 1 Corinthians 11:27...

    Pray for the destruction of Planned parenthood in St. Louis

    The judge gave PP another week to meet requirements to keep their license. The sticking point is that 5 of the doctors that work there refuse to be interviewed. I wonder why? Could it be a problem with their license to practice medicine? We'll see.

    Please help me prove Jesus is God.

    Hebrews 1: 5 For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; this day I have begotten you”? Or again: “I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me”? 6 And again, when he leadsc]">[c] the first-born into the world, he says: “Let all the angels of God worship him.” The...

    Why would a person claim that all sins are equal?

    Yes, some sins are more serious than others. 1 Jn 5:16,17 says, "If anyone sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to God and he will give him life. This is only for those whose sin is not deadly. There is such a thing as deadly sin, about which I do not say that you...

    Mary and Joseph

    Joseph “knew Mary not until she brought forth her firstborn” does not say anything about what happened afterward. For example: 2 Samuel 6:23: And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to (until) the day of her death. (Does this mean she had children after she died?) 1 Timothy 4:13: Until I...

    Mary and Joseph

    Some say Matthew 13:55 "Is he not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?" is a proof text that proves Mary did not remain a virgin after Jesus' birth. Elsewhere in the Gospels James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas are listed as sons of men...
