Jesus met Jairus in Mark 5: While they were on their way to the dying child, Jesus healed this woman. Then came the breaking news: Mark took several more verses to finish the story with a happy ending: Jesus raised her to life. Luke wrote about the same incident in Chapter 41: But then...

The Bible does not assert that but I think it assumes that. As soon as a person believes in Jesus' death on the cross for his sins, he should quickly get baptized. Belief and baptism go hand in hand together. What's he waiting for? Get baptized and participate at the Lord's table. Is baptism...

I don't think we should. Is it normal to still fear death after being saved? It is normal but Paul wrote in Philippians 1: Paul didn't mind dying. Moreover, he desired to die. Paul was concerned about the people who needed him if he died. We live for Christ and we die for Christ. In any...

Is the Bible inerrant? The word "inerrant" is not in the Bible. I prefer to stick to the wording of the Bible, particularly when it comes to doctrines. People who like to generalize tend to overgeneralize. 2 Timothy 3: See Is the Bible the word of God?.

For this OP, you need to distinguish between the human soul from the human spirit as two different faculties, Hebrews 4: I assume that man is tripartite: body, soul, and spirit. When you are born of the Spirit, the Paraclete dwells in your human spirit which is in touch with your conscience...

Wiki: From the utilitarian viewpoint, God is not an absolute necessity for morals. However, Why is it a popular belief amongst religious people that morals must come from god? Christians believe that man by nature is sinful and no good, Mark 10: Nature itself does not command or demand...

Genesis 1: According to Einstein's special relativity. One cannot isolate time from space. The universe is a 4-D spacetime structure. When we look deep into space, we are looking back in time. The Andromeda Galaxy is the most distant object we can see with our naked eyes, two million light...

Psalm 90: God is self-existent, Wiki: Before God created anything, God was self-sufficient. He did not need anything or anyone. God created space-time and everything in it. Take the air away, I die. I need to breathe to stay alive. God cannot die due to lack of air because he existed before...

As a general rule, Genesis 1: Psalm 127: Proverbs 17: 1 Timothy 5: It is good to have children. It is the usual practice. According to Paul, marriage and children go together. On the other hand, there are some cases of bad news. Jesus said in Luke 12: Matthew 26: Is it okay for married...

Nazarites had long hair. Numbers 6: 1 Corinthians 11: Paul appealed to the human judgment of the Corinthians for social norms. Paul was comparing men's and women's hair in this passage. I prefer short hair, and women look good with long hair. i.e., the practice of the churches of God in...

Disclaimer: This OP is written from the mindset of Christ, not the mindset of the antagonistic Jews. Luke 11: According to some, it was possible for one demon to fraudulently cast out another demon. What was Jesus' logic here? Was Jesus saying that it was impossible for one demon to cast out...

Isaiah 34: God would judge Edom. As a result, its land would become desolate: The Hebrew word for "lilith" <H3917> appears only once in the Bible. Its precise meaning is uncertain. New International Version The Songs of the Sage from the Dead Sea Scrolls mentioned Lilith as a demon that...

Isaiah 42: This verse is supposed to be Messianic. But then in John 2: How do these two verses reconcile? Matthew answered in 12: Isaiah prophesied the meek character of Christ. He did not preclude that the Messiah would exhibit his strength at times.

Exodus 21: He would be his slave for a finite amount of time, i.e., the rest of his life. Genesis 21: It is the same word here, but now it seems to mean infinite time. Exodus 30: The temple was destroyed over 2000 years ago. This statute is not working today. Perhaps H5769 means something...

Numbers 18: Pulpit: Benson: Similar imagery and significance was in 2 Chronicles 13:

omni- meaning “all”; potent meaning “powerful”; omnipotent means all-powerful. Omnipotent is a philosophical term. I prefer to stick to the more biblical term almighty. God is almighty in that he holds all power and authority. Nothing happens except by his delegation. Here are some verses that...
