If you call on God, He will respond. If you’ve been striving for righteousness no matter how long or how short, and you call on Him, He will respond favorably. Psalms 34:17 says, “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.” That Verse either says...

Psalms 1:1-2 says “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in ethe seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.” These Verses can give one pause. To wit, the first Verse...

Can a donkey talk? Not that I know of. But what I know is limited. Also, if the Bible, the Word of God, says it them I believe it. As Jesus says in Matthew 19:26. “.. [W]ith God all things are possible.” Our religion is based on faith in the Almighty. Whereas with man it’s a matter of truth...

Jesus in John 14:15 says, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” What commandments is he referring to? There are at least two express commandments. Those are the two great commandments that Jesus says in Matthew 22:37-40...that we love God with all our heart, soul and mind, and we love...

Is not 1 Corinthians 1:21 referring to itself as foolish as well? Is it not inferring that anyone who quotes it is foolish by preaching it? Fortunately, that's not what the Verse says. It says, " 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God...

There are passages in the Bible that mention the ‘mountain of the Lord,’ and ‘Zion.’ Some mention Zion and the mountain of the Lord in the same passage. To wit, one such passage, Zechariah 8:3, says “Thus says the Lord: I have returned to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and...

Yes. And neither man nor the government that is set up to be as good as God is. But the Bible acknowledges that not everyone by themselves know how to act with God in mind. Romans 13:1 confirms that a government, made up of the collective minds of people, is necessary to make an attempt to...

Yes...This helps confirm that there are no contradictions that emanate from the bible. At the end of the day, God showed Himself to be what God is. Nothing that God is is contradictory. In Jonah there is no contradiction in what He says above and what He does.

As a short rejoinder, life is complicated enough without there being contradictions in the Bible. But rest easy, there are no contradictions in the Bible. The Bible does not state contradictions, it states God’s Truth. First of all 2 Timothy 3:16 says that every word in the Bible comes from...

Romans 12:19 says, “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’” But what is meant by “vengeance”? Is there a line between vengeance and self-defense, say? What is vengeance? The Cambridge dictionary...

Under God, do women have the same roles as men? Under God, are there boundaries along those lines that cannot be crossed? Does the Bible create such boundaries? Or have we striven to create our own? The Bible has a number of passages that challenge what a man perceives is a woman’s role, and...

The ground of Western Civilization is soaked with the blood of people whom others determined had committed heresy and blasphemy. Oh, did the keepers of the New Testament lose their wits and go mad in the process of engaging on a crusade to annihilate those thought to have committed either one or...

Perhaps it can be a matter of priorities depending on the circumstances. What can those circumstances be, if so? The Old Testament has a lot to say about lies and fabrications, but in considering that it has God’s Commandment concerning lying, that Commandment may not be absolute under certain...

Psalms 91:1-16 addresses our living on earth and our passing away to the next life. It is God’s Promise to protect us in all our days on earth, and to be with Him when our time comes to leave earth. In Psalms 91 there is a divide between the two...

‘I did it all by myself.’ Well, not exactly. If you’re in God, all your good works are the result of God working in you. Philippians 2:13 says, “For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” Given this Verse alone, it follows that Ephesians 2:8-10 says “For...

James 2:14- What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

John 3:16-17 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” Who was God targeting...

Psalms 103:1 says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!” Where do our souls come from? Considering the context in which the Bible speaks of our souls, one can reasonably surmise they come from God, least of all since there is nothing in the Bible to suggest...

John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life...” Believing in Him includes patience, since by design of the entry port to eternity, it takes time that the Bible perceives as only the few that would...

Yes, 1 John 5:3 says “For this is the love of God, that we keep His Commandments...” This defines what loving God is. It tells us when we’ve reached the level that we can say we love God. The true object in the NT is our love of God, not the Commandments that we are told we must abide by. In the...
