    I asked a supposed "ordained" minister about the morality of abortion

    Specifically, I asked him if he believes that it's moral for a healthy woman to abort her healthy baby. His response was "It's none of my business". All I could say was "Wow!". What do you think about his response?

    Is it prideful or arrogant to claim to be "born again"?

    Being born again is something we are called to pursue but it's something that happens to us, not something that we can do for ourselves, right? Anyway, I believe that I am "born again" but I don't KNOW that I am and even if I did, I would NOT exclaim "I'm born again!". It just seems...

    Can you make sense of this seemingly insane verse from Deuteronomy 22:20-22?

    Deuteronomy 22:20-22 New International Version 20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in...

    Will we love some people more than others in Heaven?

    Will we still huddle with our family and closest friends as we do now? Or will we love everybody the same? I think the latter. How about you?

    So Anne Frank and all other dead Jews are burning in Hell forever, right?

    I'm just wanting to confirm my understanding of mainstream Christian beliefs. All Jews who die a Jew are sent to Hell to burn forever, correct?

    Will Satan be saved?

    Ultimately, according to this man, Satan will be transformed and saved. It's an interesting 42-minute listen.

    To whom is Psalms 103:3-5 addressed?

    I understand it's addressed to Israel's Jews. What does the author mean by " who redeems your life from the pit"? Does it mean what it says it means? Psalms 103:3-5 esv who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast...

    Why do people share names & numbers of verses but NOT the verses themselves?

    Is it out of laziness? One who wants to be more easily understood should copy & paste the entire verse. Spoon-feed it to the reader(s). Why make the reader(s) jump through the proverbial hoops of having to look up every passage when the writer could just as easily provide the entire verse(s) in...

    "God won't violate your free will" they said.

    They obviously never heard the story of Jonah.

    God says that God gets what God wants, so why do you claim God is wrong?

    Isaiah 46:10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,' Isaiah 55:11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which...

    How should Christians tell people that their gay loved one's lifestyle is displeasing to God?

    My advice? Don't! They'll hate you for it. Besides, would you tell someone that their loved one's frequent drunkenness is displeasing to God? I know a number of super-nice Christian people whose grown children are gay. They rationalize that it's "ok". I think it's a mistake to tell them...

    Why do you believe that, after death, it's too late for Jesus to save people?

    What is the Biblical basis of that doctrine, please?

    "if you say, ‘You fool,’ you will be liable to the hell[d] of fire"

    Do you believe Jesus's statement? And do you believe that those sent to "the hell[d] of fire" remain there FOREVER? Matthew 5:22 22 But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister,[a] you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister,[c] you will be liable...

    Jesus to John: "Here is your mother"

    John 19:27 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home. My take on this is that Jesus wanted his mother to help the apostles and for the apostles to look after his mother. Is...

    Do non-Christians go to Hell after death?

    Let's use an average Muslim woman from Indonesia as an example. She was raised to believe Islam and that all other belief systems are lies. She leads an unremarkable life and doesn't engage in criminal activities and is a loving daughter, wife, and mother. When she dies, will she go to Hell?

    If all that one knows, believes, & follows is the "Great Commandment", will they go to Heaven?

    Or do they need something else to be saved from Hell? Matthew 22:34-40 34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he...

    I want to participate in a local church. What is your advice, please?

    I wany to participate because I want to encourage others to grow in Christ. I am much less concerned with the pastor's doctrines, barring something extreme.
