    If Jesus could be turned into an Elephant, He truly could be the elephant in the room?

    Hi there, So this is a crazy thought I had about Evolution. I am posting it here, because basically I hate getting mired with this sought of hyperbole: it's like the Holy Spirit says "you wanted to argue the point, make an argument, make a case". Only then the argument seems repetitive and the...

    Natural Consequence or Punishment?

    I was saved in 2015. After two years, I went through major trauma and could not heal from something and got away from God because I felt like he was not answering my prayers. I just sat for another two years, confused but not really doing much. I just came back about a month ago, feeling like...

    Part 3 - The Flood: God's Wrath

    As Satan continued to influence mankind to disobey and turn away from the Almighty God the world became an evil place. However, God demonstrated patience and was set on creating a plan to restore mankind back into a right relationship with Him. However, for every good thing God did for mankind...

    Go and Sin No More

    John 8:1-6a ESV But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him...

    Does forgiveness imply no consequences? Also, does God punish us while we live on Earth?

    These are two questions I've always wondered about, especially since I've heard different answers to them. I wonder if, after asking God for forgiveness, He will personally make sure we still suffer some form of punishment while we are still alive on Earth. I also wonder if asking for...

    Is Hell Real?

    I have heard that many Christians do not believe that hell is real. I found this to be absurd, but I am open to hearing both sides of the argument. So that is what has lead me to proposing this question, is Hell real? If it is or is not please explain. P.S. I for one do believe it exist. Sorry...

    Why are so many Christians against annihilation in hell when scripture supports it?

    Before I begin I want to say that I am in no way one of those people who believe in annihilation to please my flesh or rely on my own understanding to make myself feel better. Sure you can use God's character as an argument, but I am here to show you pure biblical evidence where God clearly...

    Book of Amos and Mexico

    God is all about timing and I finished the Book of Amos today. I can not count the times I have heard that part of the Bible was for the people back then, satan has always whispered lies. Amos was in a time people where being treated bad. A time people where being removed from lands and sold...

    Punishment on Earth

    How does God handle someone who wronged somebody in a wicked way? Do they just "get away with it" until Judgement day? Or does God cause problems for that individual appropriate to the wrong they committed? My girlfriend was wronged by someone in a very wicked way and I am tempted to do...

    All grace gospel and Hebrews 12:5,6

    So I'm fairly entrenched in the grace gospel camp (a step removed from full on universalism). I'm struggling to understand Hebrews 12:5,6 in light of grace: “And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not...
