    My take on Biblical inerrancy

    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?.

    How do you know whether a thought is from the Paraclete or not?

    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...

    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...

    Aseity and time

    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...

    Is It OK for married couples not to have children?

    I told my friends that all I wanted was a girl. I got a boy, boy, boy, boy, and finally a girl. When I got the girl, I told my wife, "We are done." :)

    Is It OK for married couples not to have children?

    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...

    Is it a sin or shameful for a man to have long hair?

    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...

    Can one demon fraudulently cast out another demon?

    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...
