Someone recently suggested to me that we don't have to suffer for our sin. We all know God forgives us. Does he discipline us?

What do you do when you are having a theological disagreement with someone, and they insult you? It seems to me it’s best to ignore the insult and explain where the other person’s logic is wrong. Jesus explained what happens when we insult people (Matthew 5:22). There are people who claim they...

What if the Lord taught us to fend for ourselves?

It would seem to me that Jesus, among other things, was a healer, and the world needed a healer. However, Jesus was not willing to bow down to the world, so the world killed him. Thoughts?

It seems to me two things happen when you stand up for what you believe is right. First, you make enemies. Second, you have peace of mind. Thoughts?

Is the purpose of the Bible to help us to know God better, or is that we should do everything the Bible tells us to do? If you say, "Both," which would you consider to be more important?

You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:48 RSV I frequently hear people say that it is impossible not to sin. I know we’ve all sinned but I don’t know why we can’t stop.

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17 RSV Can we say we've repented if we continue to sin?

People on the conservative side of the spectrum seem to believe everything Paul says in the Bible was inspired by God, and therefore is the Word of God. People on the left seem to pick and choose what is the Word of God. People in the middle might go back and forth between the two. I might...

Could faith be knowing the difference between what might happen, and what will happen?

I think most Christians miss the point when it comes to the Lord’s commandments. I think it goes like this: The Lord recognized that we would get ourselves into trouble if we did certain things. Therefore he told us not to do those things. These are called commandments. Most people seem to...
