Thank you for your post. Should we be worried about the future? Nervous (about the future)? Maybe just concerned! Maybe we should ask: Is there anything I could be or should be doing to prevent X or help Y? If nothing comes to mind, then (as you already have guessed) once again we...

Thank you for your post. One would not like to accuse the Pope of not living by his own pronouncement, but: * Immigration of any sort is not permitted into Vatican City. Temporary residence/citizenship can be granted for special cases. * The U.S. does have immigration policy, but not an...

Thank you for your post. Certainly the computer simulations of climate change, at least those with political goals, are at least bad science, but maybe not science at all. Would cite another example, one that is specially concerned with “atheist-interpreted science”?

Welcome, Freedom! We hope that this forum meets your expectations. Peace and blessings.

Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you might not have family or friends to comfort you, sustain you, strengthen you. But you will always have Jesus, wherever you are. This link has lyrics to an old hymn, about pouring your heart to him. Tell It to Jesus - Lyrics & Verses But you...

Thank you for your post. The more interesting question is: will God ever prove to all Christians they need not distrust the science under pinning paleontology, archeology, anthropology, . . . !

Welcome to the forum. We hope you find the exchanges stimulating, and that you will learn much from the serious scholars who post here. Feel free to format questions and to ask others to help you better understand His word. Peace and blessings.

Thank you for your post. To be begin, although God created us in His image, He also created us as social mammals, with the same basic instincts of all other social mammals: naturally self-centered, coveting all sorts of things, rationalizing any means to obtain those things. (A different...

Not sure what your point is. As James Stewart says in the 1939 movie ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,’ ”I stand guilty as FRAMED.” That is all President Trump need say. Blessings.

Thank you for questions. Doesn’t Hebrews 7 explain away your ultimate concerns? Blessings.

Thank you for your post. What about speculations, purely for personal pleasure, as long as they are clearly labeled as such? Example: 2 Timothy 4: 11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry. 12 And Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 Bring...

Thank you for your post. A ghost? No. Speculation: The bodily resurrected Jesus existed in more than three dimensions. In a 4th dimension, perpendicular to our world, Jesus could move about infinitely close to our world without being seen, but could easily appear and disappear, as He did with...

Thanks for all the details in the responses. You Indeed have clearly put a lot of thought into the subject. Blessings.

You are too kind. If I may, there is one more core-principle idea to run by you. The first part is straightforward, but the second is controversial in the Christian community. You cite penalties in the Law for disobedience. The essence is that a community of the faithful must have a...

Thank you for your intriguing questions. My perspective: Let us start with the two great commandments, on which hang the Law and the Prophets. So, for example, the Law and the Prophets exhortation us to care for widows and orphans, and the poor in general. But then Jesus gave us the following...

Thank you for your response. All wel—stated. The central theme in this thread is the importance of chastity before marriage. Although we know what God demands of Christians, how far back can we trace its importance in indigenous cultures? A somewhat flawed study that is still worth studying...

Thank you for your detailed response to Zeth45. Perhaps you could clarify some of your statements: I am extremely interested in the history of marriage, since wedding ceremonies are found in almost every culture and among almost all indigenous peoples. Are you suggesting they were all...

Thank you for your confession. You are clearly concerned about your relationship with God, and that is wonderful. The Bible is clear that God wants you to restrict sexual relations to a marriage between a man and a woman. Disobeying God for fleeting, forbidden sexual pleasure will estrange...

Thank you for your detailed response. You state a couple of “IMOs,” so perhaps I can be granted some opinions, too! It is not clear why you believe the Law has been abolished: Jesus said the opposite, and the Apostle Paul said the new covenant is not an excuse to transgress the Law freely...
