    The Bible states that the holy angels are "ministering spirits" sent to minister to us, the heirs of salvation: Hebrews 1:13-14 King James Version (KJV) 13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 14 Are they not all...

    Unorthodox Marriage:

    Here's something rather "unorthodox"... I've discussed this in the marriage thread and the focus was largely cultural and related to law. However, I'm curious about the "biblical" view of what the website proposes. Here we go... I stumbled across a ministry titled, "In God's Eyes Only". It...

    In God's Eyes Only:

    Is it possible to be "married in God's eyes" although you're not "married" legally? I ask this because I've been studying government free marriage and stumbled across this ministry: Home_Page The website reads: Marriage is a covenant not a contract. Frequently, civil marriage complicates...

    Did this Pastor just say, "Obey God and shack up!" ???

    I continue to read about how the "institution of marriage" is in decline. It would seem that many believe that the problem isn't with morality per se, but rather GOVERNMENT meddling in private matters of the heart and soul of free individuals. Here's the question: Is it really possible to be...

    Trapped...

    Pray for me. I'm TRAPPED. My wife left me a few years ago. She wanted to open our marriage and because I wouldn't tolerate it she began having an affair. She then left me saying that she wanted to "live life", evidently a life that has nothing to do with God or morals. She even let a gay...

    Baptismal Formula:

    I was told that the original Apostolic Christians of the Bible didn't baptize using the threefold formula of Matthew 28:19, but rather they baptized simply by invoking the name of Jesus. These were the verses offered to support the claim: (Acts 2:38-41 KJV) (38) Then Peter said unto them...
