Yesterday I actually listened to a lecture on exactly this thing. By the sounds of it you are talking about Augustine justification by faith. Lets start with true happiness. For Augustine true happiness came from loving God. For him there was nothing higher than this. This was what gave...

What if these two are exclusive of each other in this case? I don't really know your situation, but there may be no way of being both. To you what does it mean to be a Christian in this situation?

Well some denominations believe that anyway. Is this something that you believe? Do you feel guilty? What prompted this question to come up anyway? Is this a question of generational curses? I know some people believe strongly in them. Exodus 20 does talk about this, have a look at...

I am sorry you got dragged into a debate. To me this sounds more like questions though. This is seems to beg a question of your opponents though: Why do they want to know? Yes there is an easy way to answer this question, but I doubt that they will be satisfied, nor will you. Simply put...

There are a number of different factors here. 1. How much time do you have? 2. What other resources do you have available? 3. What is your purpose in your study? I am going to assume that you are doing an exegetical style of Bible study. First you pray that God will speak to you through...

I thought about how to answer this in a number of ways so if these things disjointed I apologise. Firstly, how often to you pray and wait on the Lord to speak to you? Perhaps he is silent because you do not give him opportunity to speak. Personally I do not find God silent in peoples...

Now I am confused. I see that you have labeled yourself Calvanist and yet this seems confusing to you? I would have thought this is a very basic explanation of election. Maybe I have that wrong. I would recommend you ask him what he means. Maybe you just can't get them all in one place. It...

That is actually pretty easy. Make an appointment and go and see the Vicar in normal office hours. Then discuss. It is unlikely they will be there on Mondays. Of course, being that I am an Anglican and having been pretty active in the church I may be able to just answer the questions for you...

I personally have not been in this situation before, but my Godson and daughter are in a similar situation. For them they don't have much of a choice because I have already told their parents that I will be doing a comprehensive study of Luke over the summer with my God son. I am sure that there...

Is this something that you are doing at the moment or is this a hypothetical question? What exactly are you afraid of? Will waiting to get married assuage those fears?

I guess part of the answer to this is what are you fitness goals? Is it just to keep in shape or is is to burn off some extra pounds or something else? For me personally I believe that we are Christians should exercise both our body and soul, so it is a good idea to a have some fitness in your...

Does the doctors office do e-prescribing? Or is this a type of medication that needs to have a paper prescription? If it does not require you to have a paper prescription they may have sent it into the pharmacy on file for you. I would first contact the doctors office and find out what...

Personally I think that the third person in your marriage does not feel that you are ready for this. What parts of your life is God trying to grind off to make you ready for marriage? Personally I think that you are coming from a point of emptiness rather than a point of fullness. For me to...

Have you considered that this is God calling you to explore more of who he is? Personally if you foundation of faith is on the Trinity and Greek words then perhaps you need to look for a more solid foundation. I would suggest that it should be on Jesus: Who he was and is, his death and...

My first response to this is you are a 17 year old girl living in a country that ascribes to Plurism. Of course you are unsure as to what is real or not, especially about yourself. You are probably bombarded with what many other people have told you are, but you are now coming of an age where...

A hypothetical question here that I am not sure you will like. What if God calls you to sacrifice your sexuality all your life. Would you be willing to do it? I have an unusual way of looking at the role of a man in a relationship, especially in marriage. Your role is to be like the Father...

Hello there Blatz, Before I can really give you any advice, there are some questions that I need you to engage with first. 1. What does it mean to you to be a Christian? 2. What does the word faith mean to you in the context of Christianity? 3. How do you feel that hearing the gospel...

No it is not sinning. I prefer the NIV translation of this verse: "Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you."...

I don't think that is the same for each person. Also a great deal of the enjoyment of all forms of media comes down to being able to relate to what is happening. As Christians if you are unable to relate to what is happening you may find that you do not enjoy it. I think that is part of the...

I can understand where you are coming from in terms of fantasy versus reality. There is often a split between many Christians about where they sit in regards to this and there normally appears to be some hypocracy in regards to this as well. For example many people would not have a problem with...
