    What does it mean to deny God?

    I was reading through the bible the other day and stumbled upon Matthew 10:32-33. Verse 33 states that if one denies God in front of men, Jesus will deny him infront of his father. I guess what my question is, what is the difference between Peter's denial of Jesus and the denial of God in this...

    Question about Sin

    So if someone had resolved to sin, that is to make a choice to turn from God by willfully deciding to do something against his will, and then before actually sinning, realizes that they do not want to do that sin and repents from it... is that still considered a sin? If so, is that a mortal sin...

    Does Deuteronomy 22:1-3 teach we should help strays?

    Hello! Does Deuteronomy 22 teach that we should help stray animals find their owners, even when we don't know the owners? Here's the passage in question (emphasis mine): If you see your fellow Israelite’s ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to its owner. 2 If they...

    Books to read

    Besides the Bible of course, does anybody have recommendations of Christian books to read? I just finished reading a book called It's Rigged in Your Favor (https://amzn.to/2HGMLnF) by Kevin Zadai and I thought it was absolutely amazing. Does anybody know of books like this they can recommend?

    Eating with thanksgiving

    Hello! The Bible discusses giving thanks to God for food in a number of passages. Among them are Matthew 15:36, Romans 14:6, and Acts of the Apostles 27:35. Should Christians give thanks before every meal? Do the Scriptures teach we should give thanks every time we eat food--even snacks? If not...

    Least in the Kingdom is greater than John the Baptist?

    What does Jesus mean by saying the 'least in the kingdom of God' being greater than John the Baptist? For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. Luke 7:28 KJV

    A (now-relevant) question on 1 Corinthians 10:17

    I've come across a question that carries with it present significance during the coronavirus pandemic: 1 Corinthians 10:17 says, "Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread" (NASB). Is this "one body" the universal church (all Christians...

    What should somebody fairly new to the UMC ask?

    Every first Sunday of the month, the pastors at the UMC have a time when, if people want to ask questions, they can come ask them and they will try to answer them to the best of their In the abilities. This would only be my third time asking stuff as this time is only held during Sunday School...

    Aren’t Christians just “finished jews”

    Hi, I don’t know if this is the right section, but I have this question. Here it is; aren’t Christians just “finished” or “completed” jews? Is the only difference that our Messiah has come and they don’t think theirs has? I know that both faiths share the Old Testament, but don’t they have other...
