The problem is that this account contradicts what the Bible says. Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.) Genesis 25:29,30 ESV Esau...

Yes.

For thousands of years everyone regarded the earth as the center of creation and believed that the sun, moon, and stars revolved around it. Early in the 16th century Nicolaus Copernicus proved that this belief was wrong and that the earth revolved around the sun. The Bible tells us that this...

The Bible makes it quite clear that Esau lacked faith but I don't recall any time he deceived anyone.

I have been praying that God will give you opportunities to serve him. How is your mother getting along?

The existence of Westboro Baptist Church just proves that knowing the truth is not enough. We must also have love.

And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. Luke...

How is my exegesis wrong?

I have been a Christian for 63 years and God has led me to good teachers who taught the Bible accurately. I have encountered people on the internet who did claim that Jonah was a false prophet because Nineveh was not destroyed. I think most of these were atheists who were trying to prove that...

The Bible warns against false prophets. The prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. And if you say in your heart, “How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?”—when a...

If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it, and if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I intended to do to it. Jeremiah 18:7,8 ESV When Lot rebuked the men of...

Welcome to the forum. I am not sure how well you will fit in because those who follow the Bible are often criticized even by fellow believers, but I think you can make a good contribution to the discussions here.

When two angels visited Sodom in preparation for its destruction they met Lot. The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earth and said, “My lords, please turn aside to...

Jesus won't need the media to make sure everyone knows he has returned. I don't know just how he will accomplish this but then we don't need that information now. When it happens we will understand.

It would make a better society but that wouldn't necessarily mean that the people who make up that society are saved.

Everyone is a mess! Christians have admitted they are a mess and turned to Christ to clean up their messes and transform them into the kind of person God wants us to be.

The answer to both of these questions is "No". God is present in every part of his creation but the creation isn't part of him. Evil exists because some of God's creatures have chosen to disobey him. He is allowing it for a time to carry out his plans and to give us the opportunity to repent...

I believe that what you say is correct and if so modern American society is about to fall. Sometimes when a society is on the verge of collapse God intervenes by giving the people the opportunity to repent of their sins and return to him. I am praying that this will happen to America. Even a...
