The words “In God we trust” is also printed in U.S. currency. Should those words be removed because the government prints the money? The Pledge of allegiance also has the words “under God” in it. It was added in there in 1954 by the U.S. Congress. My question is what is the purpose or the...

Jesus and James were cousins. The Greek word "adolphos" was used to describe all male relatives because there's no word for "cousin" in the Hebrew and Aramaic language. The Christians would often point to Mark 6:3, which stated that James was the brother of Jesus. However, upon closer...

Where does it say that in the Bible?

Nothing in the story says it will be immediate. The Angel told Mary that she WILL have a son. WILL is future tense.

I don't think it was creepy as well. It was the custom at that time. Wasn't it also the same in colonial America especially in the South?

Again, how do you know he wasn’t baptized when the Bible says nothing about it? Jesus said that those who believe AND are baptized will be saved. If both thieves were baptized, and one of them repented and believed Jesus, he was saved. The other remained dead in his unbelief. Jesus said that...

Mary was about 14 or 15 years old when she was married. It was the Jewish custom at that time.

True, but she was also on the verge of getting married. If I was a Virgin going to get married and someone came to me, saying that I will conceive a son, my response would be.....”how do you know that I will have a son rather than a daughter?” Do you understand? I would not be asking “HOW” when...

On the contrary, it does support what I say, which is the very reason why you cannot refute it. Upon closer examination, it is true that Mary does indeed know one man.....Joseph the person whom she was going to marry. Yet, she asked "HOW" can she conceived when she doesn't know any man. There...

Then why not refute it? :)

Mary was and remained a virgin. Just look at how she answered the Angel Gabriel when he told her she would have a child. According to the Bible: Luke 1:30-34 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. “And behold, you will conceive in your womb...

Mary didn't have any other children other than Jesus. James is not Jesus' brother nor his half-brother. In the original text of the gospel, the Greek word "adelphos" was used. However, "adelphos" does not just mean blood brothers born of the same parents. The word was also used to describe...

Another solution would be to get two TVs.....one in the living room and the other in the bedroom.

My water and electricity bill is lower with only myself.

How do you know that this thief wasn't baptized when it never said so in the Bible? What we do know was that he obviously knew that Jesus was innocent.

Baptism is when you have both water and spirit. He received the Holy Spirit, and for his baptism to be complete, the Apostle Peter said he and his household should be baptized with water. There is only ONE baptism......a baptism consisting of BOTH water and spirit......exactly like Jesus...

There is only one baptism (See Ephesians 4:5). If they are baptized with only water, then it's an improper baptism. If it's only by the spirit, again, it's an improper baptism. Baptism includes both water and spirit in order for it to be valid. On the contrary. In baptism, water comes...

One must still discern whether it is truly God's voice one hears or the voice of a something false.

I tend to trust the scholars who have done extensive study on scripture along with the culture and language of the people who wrote the Bible under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. :) Blessings

First of all, freedom of religion protects everyone’s right to believe in God. It also protects the atheists’ right in believing that there is no God. There is nothing to forgive if a person chooses to be an atheist. We can only pray for them. As for the the terrorist, yes we should forgive...
