    Keep Steady My Steps

    Psalms 119:129-131 ESV “Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments.” I love the Scriptures. Now not all of the...

    By faith, you are required to call something "evolved", even when you don't see *how*?

    Hi there, So I've been told many times that faith and science don't mix, but there is interpretation of science that science on its own can't understand: namely, The point being that the assumption certain "things" are evolved, limits what can actually (evolve). This is not to say that...

    Being Led by the Spirit of God

    Suppose I wrote you a letter, which happened to be a lengthy letter, which covered a particular subject which was near and dear to my heart, and which I wanted to convey to you, in its fullness, which is why the letter is lengthy. I took the time to cover many different aspects of that subject...

    God's Operational Context

    Are there Christians who entertain the notion that God has a greater context or environment in which he exists? Perhaps God needs nothing or is not compelled by anything within the boundary conditions of his environment, but there could be structures in place that are 'out-of-bounds' in regard...

    Ok. Question: in the Bible Jesus speaks in parables; what general statement does Evolution make?

    Hi there, So basically there is a difference between text and subtext. When Jesus went around preaching, He would speak in parables - sharing text with people, but keeping the subtext to Himself and His disciples. The point was, if you were dull of heart and hard of hearing, there was no point...

    Verses taken out of context

    What verses do you see taken out of context most often and most egregiously? I often see "Judge not" used to shut up any criticism. Except that is not what it means. It means we subject ourselves to the same judgment. Another big one is Romans 13. Many people use it as an excuse to...

    Women in Ministry

    Jesus’ Treatment of Women As far as I know, from what I read in the New Testament, Jesus always treated women with high honor and respect. He never talked down to a woman or treated any woman as though she was less valuable than a man, with maybe one exception. As recorded in Matt. 15:21-28...

    The Bible 'this book' 'the law' 'Scriptures' what are the writers referring to?

    Hi everyone, I've been doing some research on what the Bible says about itself. A lot of Old Testament verses in certain books describe God's Word as 'the law' or 'this book'. In the New Testament, God's Word is described as 'Scripture'. Does anyone know, when the writer writes these...
