    Youth Group -- Phil. 1:21

    I lead the youth group on Sunday nights at my church, and have been planning to start a series on Philippians. However, I found out that one of the middle school girls recently had a suicide attempt; thankfully, she seems to be doing better. Because Phil. 1:21 states "to live is Christ, and to...

    Colossians 1:24

    Hello, Just curious to hear different takes on what Paul means here by ‘what is still lacking...’ “Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church.” Colossians 1:24...

    A question about Paul

    Why did he choose to know just only Christ and Him crufified? Why not Christ in ascention? Does this mean that he did teach elementary things?

    11 Signs of True Converts

    The sermon at church today was really helpful to me personally as I have been dealing with doubts of my assurance in eternal life with Jesus Christ. The pastor went through 1 Thessalonians verses 1-4 listing out 11 signs of election and assurance that Paul points out. He said these are to...

    Prayer Request To remarry or not to remarry? That is the momentous question

    Matthew 5:32 states very clearly that if I remarry I am an adulteress. So then does that either mean adultery can be forgiven by staying single for the rest of my life? Or can I marry another divorcee (or someone who was promiscuous but repented of those ways) and be a helper to a man's walk...

    The Roman Citizenship of Paul

    We all know that Paul was a Roman citizen, afterall it is an important part of the narrative in Acts. We also know he was born one. But where did his family's citizenship originate? Roman citizenship was a much sought after status in the first century. You were exempt from onerous duties like...

    Understanding Paul

    Hi everyone and Shabbat Shalom. I am at the point of my Bible reading where I read Paul. I was hoping one of you could help to understand circumcision in Galatians. The objection that I find is circumcision has nothing to do with the law that was given on Mount Sinai but everything to do with...

    Daniel 9:27 and the Preterists

    I realize that the debate over the antecedent of "he" has raged for centuries, which would, I maintain, be idiocy were it not for the theological implications. I believe that the preterists were, on this occasion, very correct, but, with their assumption that Daniel's seventieth week ended three...

    Paul declares he is a Jew In Acts 21:39 which is after Jesus has risen.....

    Paul answered, "I am a jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Please let me speak to the people." Acts 21:39 Jesus has already risen from the Dead when Acts was written. So why did Paul say " I am a Jew" he does not say " I was a Jew" like some commentaries I read. I am...

    Last Half of the 70th Week

    Those of us who believe that Daniel’s seventy weeks are consecutive, and that the cross happened in the middle of the final week, are often asked a question: If the first half of the 70th week marked Jesus’ ministry, what was the purpose of the last 3½ years? And what significant event marked...

    Was the Apostle Paul a bishop?

    If Peter is considered the first Bishop of Rome and sometimes of Antioch as well, is Paul considered the founding Bishop of any sees? As far as I know he isn't thought of as a Bishop of Rome (although the beginning of the list sometimes has Clement after Peter and sometimes Linus etc. so seems...

    GALATIANS 1:13 For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it. 14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. (NKJV)...
