    Isaiah 18:7 - Who are the people being described?

    Sorry, I feel like this is a kind of minor question - but who are the people being described, are these the Egyptians? And is this a prophecy that was already fulfilled?

    Jesus' victory over death and how that impacts Christian History before

    So, I was just doing my devotional, and I was thinking about how Jesus paid the price for everyone. He defeated all sin, all death, past, present, future, forever. So, how does that impact the time before? The people who lived before Jesus died were saved in the same way we are, right? It...

    Numbers - Putting People to Death

    Hello! So, in my Leviticus discussion we began to bleed into Numbers, so I thought I'd just make a new thread so I could do some additional discussion without spamming the last one. So, there are a few different passages in Numbers (and Leviticus, and the OT in general) that discuss people...

    Leviticus - Both the book, and specific passages

    So, I do one of those bible in one year devotionals, right? And I'm in Leviticus. There are a lot of things that just don't align with new-testament teachings, or the way that I have been lead to treat others. So I want to go over some of these and my misconceptions. I understand that we are not...

    Matthew 5:3 - Understanding Suffering

    This week I am focusing on the first BeAttitude from the sermon on the mount, but I can't seem to understand this part just yet. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." A devotional that is going along with this reading makes a point to say that we must mourn to...

    Scripture Question - Genesis 22

    So, I'm doing a devotional bible study, and I'm reading the passage about how God tells Abraham to sacrifice his son Issac, and then stops him at the last moment. I understand the significance to Abraham. He needed to understand his priorities, that even the gifts God gave him could not come...

    Dating Guilt

    So, I've been single since March of last year, when an over 5 year relationship ended abruptly in my partner cheating on me. We had been engaged for 3 months. Overall, there had been some toxic parts to our relationship that have caused me to be cautious and rather unambitious in the search for...

    Man and Woman created in God's image - Conversations about Gender/Sex

    So man and woman are created in God's image without one being lesser than the other. With that in mind, doesn't it seem that God is likely genderless? I know what Genesis says about how man and woman work together, but can we consider the idea of sex and gender being separate for a moment, and...

    Who are 'The Wicked'?

    The bible references many times that God will triumph over the evil, that He is the final judge, that the wicked shall perish. But he also loves all of his children, even those who sin, and fail, and are wicked. So who are the real 'wicked'? And what exactly are we supposed to do? Why does the...

    Church and the College Schedule - I Need Community

    So, being a college student, I work weekends to sustain my apartment. I'm a music major, and my school schedule doesn't allow me to work during the week with my current job. (One which I love very much and hope to continue once I graduate) Problem being, I can't attend church with this schedule...

    Hey! I'm Kai - Looking for Community

    Hey there, I'm Kai. I'm currently a senior in my undergrad at college and I work weekends. Unfortunately, that has made it rather hard for me to find community, people I can discuss scripture with, or simply other Christians who can keep me on the right track. I've had a rather difficult past...
