I know this will be a strange question to everyone but me, but I would like to know if- and when bees or a swarm- were ever used for another purpose for higher meaning.The only one I can find is when Samson takes the honey from the carcus of lion- which bees had made a hive in.

I know most of you are sick of this question...The one about, "did Judas go to hell?"Well I was reading the bible and came across Matthew 19:2828And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his...

Ive been talking with catholics more and more, realizing a lot of what most protestants believe of them is off and inacurate.Dont get me wrong, there is still plenty I dont agree with them about- such as non-biblical supported beliefs.Some of what catholics believe are based on the Bible with...

A close relative of mine believes that Satan was created with God fully knowing what purpose he would serve. Therefore, He needed to rebel in order to carry on OUR story. He thinks that the earth, as Adam and Eve first knew it, could not have been perfect if the ability of sin was ready to be...

Hello again,I was just wondering, after spending some time in the OT, has the Lord through Jesus made killing in His namesake invalid in these days?Jesus tells us to love our enemys and even pray for them. But where, according to scripture, does Jesus ever encourage the OT type of killings for...

I am curious,Why would I be in a valley rather than a peak in my Christian walk at the moment? I feel I have been following Christ and his words more now than ever. This past week or so seems like God is just letting me feel alone and confused. I think this has something to do with events that...

Ive been realizing more and more, in different religions and different groups of people that being a Christian somehow equals closemindedness. In a way, I guess this is correct...Why should we waste our time learning all the lies and false teachings of the world when we KNOW we have the...

Im pretty sure this topic would be best in this forum section... First reread this following text of 2 Samuel so we can get to my question... 2 Samuel 24 1And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 2For...

This question hit me the other day out of nowhere.....How is it that Satan, or anyone, could turn from such an absolute truth?He knew he wouldn't gain from anything else- so why would he even think of turning his back on everything that is pure and true?

Someone told me I would find these two very interesting. They're on the way....Anyone read either of these?

A pastor and I have 2 different views here.I believe Judgement is for all- the dead know nothing till this day. Neither do they enter Heaven or Hell yet.He believes only the unsaved undergo Judgement. Judgement day for Christians is for rewards.Scripture please

Scripture for the following 1 Samuel 28:14-19In the last days of Sauls life, he becomes very fearful and his actions as king start to tear Israel apart. The Philistines are about to attack Saul and his army, and he knows they are outnumbered by thousands of men. God will no longer speak with...
