    Does God love those He sends to hell?

    God loves everyone and gets no joy out of any soul that is lost. He does not "send people to hell.....they choose it by refusing His goodness and offer of redemption.

    What are the origins of the trinity?

    read genesis. the first chapter has the very first hint of a triune God......specifically genesis 1:26 where God says: " Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness." you aren't going to find the word "trinity" in the bible. but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. after all, the word...

    "The Last Exorcism"

    please keep in mind that God and satan cannot live in the same space. a christian can be oppressed but not possessed. all that really means is that the devil will try to get you to sin and make you believe that you aren't "good enough".....but, he cannot possess your soul.

    Pretribulation, Postribulation

    that leaves me no better, no worse. if Jesus doesn't come pre-trib, i'll wait for Him still and keep waiting until He DOES come. if i believed post trib and He came pre-trib, i'd be much better off! i know there are those who are adamant in their stance, but i just feel that as long as we...

    What would you think of this person?

    asking a person who does not have a certain gift to perform that gift is like asking a foot doctor to perform heart surgery, or asking a tenor to sing bass......it just isn't going to get done! read ephesians 4:11. "And He Himself gave SOME to be apostles, SOME evangelists, and Some pastors and...

    Can A Man Rob God?

    my 2 cents.......the purpose of the tithe was primarily to support the priests who ministered before the Lord. When the people did not bring their tithes, the priests were not properly supported and there wasn't enough food for them in the house of the Lord.it was also used to help the poor and...

    Interracial Marriage

    the object of forbidding marriage to "foreign" women was not that it was an interracial marriage but that the foreigners would lead the Israelites into idoatry. we have many examples of interracial marriage in the bible.......moses and the Ethiopian woman he married, Rahab the harlot, Ruth the...
