Thanks for reaching out. May God comfort you, strengthen you, sustain you in your painful trials. May He inspire your physicians to find the right health care for your particular situation. And may God help you find the best health care. Amen.

Thank you for your post. Adam only had two commandments: tend the garden and don’t eat the forbidden fruit. Presumably, there was a lot more to the commands God communicated to Noah and Abraham than just those. Micah wrote: God requires us to act justly, show mercy, and walk humbly With Him...

The text is Ezekiel 33:1-6 Summary: if a warning sounds, and you ignore it, you must take responsibility for the consequences. But, if you are called to be a watchman, and you do not give a warning when danger appears, you are responsible for anyone injured by your negligence. Clearly: good...

FYI: in reading some commentary on God’s covenant with people, after the Flood, I came across the following, which complements your post— “every new revelation of God's character implies corresponding duties on the part of man. The progress of revelation has refined and exalted the principle of...

Thank you for your thoughts. Indeed, how can it be there are so many denominations, so many “truths,” when there is only one God? God created a creature in his image, one to whom he could communicate expectations and promises, and who had free will. Was that intrinsically difficult, even for...

Thank you for the posts. Scientifically: our solar system was once a vast cloud of hydrogen and many elements (synthesized by the first nova and supernova). It coalesced, with the hydrogen in the center eventually igniting (nuclear fusion), forming our sun. And yes, our Earth was without form...

Thank you for your posts. Climate activists will be wringing their hands, pulling their hair, gnashing their teeth. Maybe Stop Oil will all travel to Antarctica and lie down. More gloom and doom from those that love to fly to international conferences. God is good to us: giving us our daily...

Scripture tells us that men like Noah and Abraham were declared righteous by God. What exactly does that mean, given God had not yet communicated His expectations to Moses? Yes, they were totally, obedient to God, but that still begs the question concerning their day-to-day behavior. The...

Thank you for your post. Clearly, you are actively engaged in spreading the gospel, but there might be a note of frustration in your voice (understandable). The Apostle Paul never gave up on preaching in synagogues, despite the almost total lack of success. One sometimes wonders what God has...

Thank you for your post. What a heavy burden, for the father and principal supporter of his family to be laid up; his anguish is real. We pray that God comfort him and his family, and assure him of God’s concern for both. The path forward is dim, but he can trust in God to lead the way. Peace.

Thank you for your question. There are a number of passages in the Old Testament that illuminate various characteristics of God. Here are a few from 1 and 2 Samuel. 1 Samuel 15:10 The word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from...

Thank you for your post. It is difficult for many of us to understand the scope of the devastating activities aimed at Christians. We pray for your deliverance, and that God will frustrate the plans of your persecutors. God knows the awful burden of your pain and suffering, and He will...

Thank you for the post. So, if they have helicopters than can pick up water from any reservoir, why not the ocean? Oh (the standard response goes), the salt would ruin xxx and yyy. (So, burned to the ground is preferable?) Blessings.

Not sure where to begin. The answer I gave is (I assumed) a standard understanding of salvation (see, e.g., any NT sermons by Pastor Alister Begg). I was drawn into it by what I assumed was an innocent question from NTR, which turned out to be a rhetorical trap. Perhaps you or some other...

So, you ask a question, for which you already have an answer, in order to tell me why my (standard) answer is wrong. Is this how you treat Christians? (And now I am assured there is no point answering any of your posts.) Pax vobiscum.

Thank you for the question, as always. The only sexual relation sanctified by God is between a man and woman in holy matrimony. The alphabet people and their fellow travelers toss around LOVE without understanding what God (and Jesus) meant by Love Thy Neighbor. It is sad, and has led to...

Thank you for your question. When you die, you will be judged by God. All of your terrible sins will be naked before Him. If you have professed faith in Jesus, and tried to live according to the Commandments, Jesus will be your advocate. If you have any chance of being saved from eternal...

Thank you for the question, but surely it is obvious. ”Have you been saved?” ”Are you saved?” Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation to all who believe, namely to the Jew and also to the Gentile. Peace.

Thank you for your post. It is clear from the various post on this forum that for many there is a right or correct view of one’s faith, and all others are wrong. Is it too much of a simplification to say that, for them, only those with the correct view are going to be saved? (Alternatively...

Addendum: there is a wonderful little movie titled, “A Ring by Spring” (starring Rachel Boston). At the very end, her eyes are ”opened” and she says, “Why did it take me so long to figure this out?” That says it all for me (and perhaps you): why did it take so long? Blessings.
